Chapter 141

Kieran's POV:The thoughts were louder than usual tonight.There was a voice in my head. It was mine, but twisted as it was telling me I could make it stop. That one clean cut would drown the rest of the noise. If I could just watch something bleed that wasn't my heart, maybe I would finally sleep.

Chapter 142

Kieran's POV: “That I am madly in love with her?” I scoffed. “That we are soulmates destined to unify nations?” “We told them it was a private dinner,” my father said coldly. “And that the tension was because you are eager to get the engagement over with.” I laughed aloud. "I didn't know delusion is hereditary." I said, sarcastically. "What is exactly wrong with you?" My father asked this time. “Because no one listens when I talk,” I said bitterly. “Because every word out of my mouth is twisted or ignored. Because I told you I didn’t want to be paraded, and you dressed me in gold anyway.” My father crossed the room in two steps. “Can't you keep your desires aside for the sake of others? This is the price of a Crown, you have to give up on the things that you love. You have a responsibility,” he hissed. “To your people. To your brother’s memory. He would have-” “Don’t,” I barked. “Don’t bring up Noah.” That shut them up instantly. My mother flinched. My father’s jaw tight

Chapter 143

Adrien's POV: I felt so bad about being harsh on him earlier. I mean, how can I blame him when I anticipated this outcome beforehand. We knew one day this was going to happen. We just did not know it was going to happen so soon. Especially when we were not prepared for it at all. When we we

Chapter 144

Adrien's POV: “Did you see His Highness?” The poor man nearly jumped out of his skin. “He, he asked for the key to the east tower a while ago. He said that he didn’t want to be disturbed.” The east tower. Of course. A part of the palace people avoided after dusk. Cold and empty, the old stones creaked like ghosts. It was where Kieran went when he wanted to disappear. I had found him there once before, curled up near the window. I didn’t waste another second. I sprinted through the darkened passageways, my boots loud on the ancient stairs as I climbed. By the time I reached the final floor, I was running in dread. The door to the tower was cracked open. A breeze slipped through it. “Kieran?” I said, my voice hoarse. But there was no response. I pushed the door open fully. And there he was. Sitting on the floor by the window, his back against the wall, arms wrapped around his knees. He looked up when I entered, eyes rimmed red, mouth parted in surprise. His hair was messy,

Chapter 145

Adrien's POV: I couldn’t look at him for a second. I blinked hard, then clenched my jaw to stop my own throat from collapsing. “I am scared of losing you even if you’re still here. I am scared of seeing your name next to hers. You think I will be able to sleep knowing you are beside her every night, even if nothing’s happening and pretending I don’t fucking care ?” He didn’t say anything. He just kept watching me. I swallowed, and continued because I had to, because if I didn’t say it now, I never would. “I know it would just be a piece of paper. I know what you are saying. But that paper changes everything, Kieran. It’s not just a formality. It’s an erasure. Of this. Of us. Of the parts of you that are still trying to breathe in this fucking palace.” His eyes welled up with tears, and this time, they didn’t hold. They spilled over, silently, one by one. His lips trembled, and he quickly bit down on the inside of his cheek to stop the sound that tried to escape. “I don’t know

Chapter 146

Kieran’s POV:Right now, there was nothing I could do except keep playing along with the engagement drama my family had thrown me into like some twisted punishment. They hadn’t sent Adrien away. They hadn’t fired him. And that was only because of what I told them.They knew I meant it.I told them p

Chapter 147

Kieran’s POV: I stood. Or tried to. My knees nearly gave out. My head swam. She walked beside me, steady and calm, like nothing was wrong. But everything was wrong. By the time we reached the empty sitting room at the end of the corridor, I collapsed onto the couch like the weight of pretending had finally broken me. My legs folded. My hands covered my face. I could feel myself shaking. “Your Highness,” she said, kneeling beside me, voice full of calm urgency, “just breathe. You are okay. You are having a panic attack. I have got you. You are safe now.” “I can’t do this,” I whispered, my chest heaving. “I can’t keep pretending. I can’t keep smiling. I’m going to fall apart.” “That's alright,” she said gently. “I am right here.” I felt like I was made of glass. One wrong word and I would shatter. She helped me sit up, pressed a glass of water into my hands. I stared at it like it was a foreign object. My hands were still trembling. The rim of the glass clinked against my teeth

Chapter 148

Kieran’s POV: Celeste's lips pursed together but she nodded, "I would like to meet her sometime." I smiled. She held up her pinky. “Then let’s make it official. Me being your second bestie.” I stared at her hand for a second. Then I hooked my pinky with hers. “Deal,” I whispered. We sat in silence for a while after that. It wasn’t heavy. It wasn’t awkward. Just… peaceful. Then she turned to me again, eyes sharp. “You know,” she said, “maybe getting married isn’t the worst thing for us.” I frowned. “What?” She looked at me, calm and sure. “You get to be with Adrien. I get to be the princess I have always wanted to be. You get your freedom, and I get my throne. We smile for the cameras, play the part, and live our real lives quietly behind it.” “You are suggesting a royal lie.” “I am suggesting a royal deal,” she corrected. “One where neither of us loses what we truly want.” I stared at her. And for the first time since this engagement was announced… I didn’t feel trapped

Chapter 149

Adrien's POV: The café Win chose was… aggressively hideous.It smelled like expired espresso and the regrets of every college dropout who had sat here before us. The air conditioner wheezed like it had asthma and there was a drawing of someone’s bare butt on the wall above the counter. Tasteful.“C

Chapter 150

Adrien's POV: He sipped. “You are mad at the fact that he is with someone else right now." I chucked a sugar packet at his face. “You are going to die painfully.” I opened the folder again. “So who is behind this mess?” “Still working on it. But it’s big and it is not just about money. There is political sabotage written all over it.” “I will trace the flow myself." I said to him, "And I need to be discreet about it.” “Good. Because King Elias doesn’t know how deep this goes. He has too many old men whispering in his ear, and none of them know you even exist.” I leaned back. “They will. But not yet.” Win watched me for a second, then smirked again, fingers laced behind his head. “You know,” he said casually, “you could fix all this and make a power move while you are at it.” I raised a brow. “What kind of power move?” He grinned. “Tell King Elias you will save his kingdom but on one condition.” I stared at him, urging him to continue. He wiggled his eyebrows. “Ask for th
