While Mira’s end was progressing peacefully even with all the excitement, the same could not be said for everyone in the kingdom.The Slegh estate was in an uproar; the old master was on a short fuse blasting his son’s incompetence at every single breath of air they took ever since they returned from the coronation. Not having Lotta to take the fall in their stead, having to take responsibility for something they couldn’t afford, being stripped off all their pretentions in full court made everyone except Caster boil in anger and coil in shame at the same time with the same intensity.Caster was not as bothered as although the whole estate would be impacted, he hadn’t actively participated in the scheme even if he was aware of the plan. He wasn’t even in the area while the incident was unfolding, he was as usual indulging in his vices and to his credit when he arrived, even if his intentions were impure, he had extended an olive branch in the form of assistance, in a gentlemanly manner.

“It does not have to be real.” Cain leaned forward and whispered in Caster’s ears; he continued “but you have to hurry.”“Elder brother, is our situation really hopeless?” Caster asked in a low voice; he had time to think things through, as the healer was cleaning up his wound. He had heard the healer sigh how heartless his old man’s attack was. Although he was the prodigal son, he wasn’t a fool; he knew that his old man’s so-called soft spot towards him wasn’t because of fatherly affection but rather due to a promise to his mother; this was the reason why his father indulged him indiscriminately. Even a fool would know why someone who indulged him every single day of his life would behave so uncharacteristically, how could he not know?“Um” Cain nodded unwillingly; he didn’t want to burden his foolish little brother, but he had no other choice.The three brothers sat down under the shade of the large tree and once again sank into silence.“Brother, I can make up for most of the amount

Love garden palace was bustling with activity as the palace gates opened for the birthday celebration feast of the young Lord Amberton. Carriages from all the small and big duchies and estates that had received an invitation kept rolling in without giving the gatekeepers a minute to breathe.Cornelius and his team were rushing for Southamberston when Baldwin suddenly remembered that it was his young tyrant’s birthday feast and they would just make it in time if they rushed.“Let’s head to Thomas’s place otherwise we won’t make it in time for my little tyrant’s birthday feast.” Baldwin shouted out as they reached the cross section where the road divided, one leading to Southamberston and the other to Amberton.“Oh… that is today….” Cornelius pulled his horse back, wrinkling his face in embarrassment.“Amberton is much closer than Southamberston” Harry looked at the duo who looked flustered and comforted “We should be there in plenty of time to help if needed.”“Yes, and no one will be t

Both Matthew and Harry had similar expressions of disgust as they waved their hand trying to feign indifference; Matthew opened his mouth in response to Duke Rovner’s sincere questioning gaze, feigning reluctance “We know that lad… he… he used to be entangled with my daughter…. They were a pair till we broke them apart and got her married.”Duke Rovner knitted his brows as he asked feigning confusion “Why break them apart if they were a pair?” he continued in a low voice “Wouldn’t it be nice to have such a good lad as your son-in-law?”“Good...heh!” Harry scoffed unable to restrain his temper “Such a good lad that while he was professing his undying love for our daughter, he had to remain entangled with other women, that too right under our noses; such a good lad that even after we married our little girl off, he still wanted to remain entangled…. Poo…poo! Whoever wants can take such a good son-in-law…. My daughter doesn’t need that trash.” Harry’s temper flared, his face turning red;

Stella sighed theatrically and introduced “This is my sister Amy. What do you think about her?” Even though Martin was whispering, almost everyone heard him as they were standing crowded closely in a small circle.Amy blushed further as she lowered her head; she wished she could dig a hole and hide inside. There were no saving graces from the embarrassment her third sister could bring her. Even so, she was curious to hear Martin's response; she could feel her heart beating senselessly as she stole a side glance at Martin.“Huh?? Me??? Think???” Martin blurted with an expression that was mixed with shock and confusion and mumbled “I rarely think…”“Ha…ha…ha…” Mira burst out laughing; there was no helping it… Martin looked too adorable…“Ha…ha….ha….” everyone joined in as Amy turned as red as a tomato; this was too hilarious, they had never seen such a naïve and candid person before.Martin turned his bewildered gaze towards Jack hoping to find answers, but his dear cousin only coughed i
