Todos os capítulos de Royal Scandal The King's Enchanted Lover: Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

After leaving Jade Heart Palace, Valerius Evander's steps grew heavy. His heart longed to be close to Ethan Caelan, but the chasm between his desires and reality was too vast. As the king of a nation, he couldn't afford to be entangled in scandals. This world was filled with harsh taboos, and love between men was always subject to ridicule. As the ruler, he had to exemplify the dignity of a sovereign, unable to allow himself to become the laughingstock of the world.After Valerius Evander departed, Ethan Caelan was left alone in the quiet room. He sighed softly, feeling a sense of unease at the favor Valerius showed him. Everything seemed to be unfolding exactly as Varric had orchestrated:"Could it be that Valerius truly has feelings for me? If not, why would he care for and protect me so?"Ethan Caelan sank into his thoughts, resolving that for now, he must maintain a distance from Valerius to prevent matters from worsening. As a prince of the kingdom of Aria, he could not allow his

Cassian Lightwood, renowned from a young age for his intelligence and quick grasp of knowledge, effortlessly created smooth, melodious tunes. He glanced over at Harrison Ryder, who was fumbling with the strings of his instrument. Harrison's clumsy fingers produced disjointed, offbeat sounds, clearly struggling with the basic technique.Cassian turned to Harrison, his tone slightly mocking: "General Ryder, rhythm and emotion in music require finesse. With hands accustomed to wielding swords and slaying on the battlefield, you might need much more practice."Harrison clearly felt the mockery in Cassian's words, his eyes coldly responding with sharpness: "Minister Lightwood, you are indeed perceptive. But remember, everything can be learned and honed. It's only human character that is hardest to change."Cassian narrowed his eyes at Harrison, not expecting such a young general to retort so sharply. The atmosphere between them instantly became tense, a silent challenge hanging in the air.

The sight of the three laughing and holding hands seemed to fan the embers of jealousy smoldering in Valerius's heart. Seeing Cassian and Harrison openly express their admiration and concern for Ethan so blatantly made Valerius increasingly anxious.Meanwhile, Ethan and his companions continued their cheerful conversation, unaware that two figures were silently following them. Harrison beamed as he bought a skewer of candied fruits and eagerly offered it to Ethan, his voice brimming with enthusiasm:“Your Highness! The candied fruits here are delicious.”Cassian glanced at Harrison and shook his head with a chuckle.“Candied fruits are for children, Harrison. Enjoy them yourself,” he said, before turning to take Ethan's hand, pointing in a different direction.“Your Highness, there’s a famous lakeside restaurant nearby. I’ll take you there to enjoy it.”Harrison, unwilling to back down, responded firmly, “That place only serves luxurious dishes. The prince has had plenty of those. I’ll

Her eyes scanned the room, playful and sharp. Suddenly, they locked onto Ethan Caelan, as if she had chosen him as her prey, unable to escape her seductive grasp.The beautiful woman swayed toward Ethan Caelan, each step languid and suggestive. When she reached him, she didn't hesitate to stroke his chest, her hand sliding down to his waist. Her body pressed close against him, and Ethan Caelan could feel the warmth of her breath, the sweet scent of her skin causing his heart to skip a beat. He tried to pull back, gripping the arms of his chair, his eyes avoiding her scorching gaze.The woman continued to move seductively in front of him, her every motion drawing Ethan Caelan deeper into a whirlpool of desire. The last piece of her clothing slipped away, leaving only a thin veil barely covering her full breasts and curvaceous hips.She straddled Ethan Caelan's lap, her hips swaying slightly, offering herself completely to him. She pulled his face close, her lips nearing his as if about

Ethan smiled at Lyria and said: "Lady Lyria, it’s already late. Rest here at the inn tonight, and tomorrow, come to The Imperial Academy to find me. I will think of a way to help you."Tears welled up in Lyria's eyes as she bowed gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for taking me in."When Ethan returned to the royal palace, night had already fallen. The palace gates closed behind him as he and his two guards swiftly headed towards the Heart of Jade Palace. But as they entered the Celestial Blossom Garden, they unexpectedly encountered Valerius Evander, who stood there as if he had been waiting for Ethan for some time. Reflexively, Ethan was startled but quickly regained his composure, respectfully bowing.Valerius glanced at Ethan's entourage, noticing the absence of Lyria Hawke, and smiled inwardly. He surmised that Ethan had hurried back just in time before the palace gates closed, leaving no time to indulge in pleasures with the beauty. Without a word, Valerius subtly signaled to Reed
