Chapter 171: Sour Victory (2)

"He was under your care—your supervision!"Selena's voice cracked through the chamber, her eyes hardening as they locked onto the Lord Commander, pinning him in place beneath her stare. "I did my best, Your Highness. It is only a shortcoming—it will pass."He groaned from where he sat."Shut that hole you dare call a mouth!"Selena snarled, her voice heavy with authority. The Lord Commander fell silent, reduced to nothing beneath her presence."My son is in there," Selena said, her voice trembling beneath the steel of her rage, "battling for his life, and you stand before me speaking nonsense, daring to dress failure in excuses."She took a step forward, eyes blazing. "You utter rubbish to my face and call it your best?"Her hand came down hard against the table.The thud echoed through the room, sending a jolt through every soul seated there. "Your best," she continued, her voice low now, dangerous, "was not enough."Immediately after Ragaleon was ushered into his chamber, an emer

Chapter 172: He's Back

Every second that had gone by, Johanna had been worried sick.She had spent the passing days in a state of quiet unease. Meals went unfinished; sleep came and left without rest."What if he never returns?"The thought surfaced often, but she never gave it voice. Day after day, she waited, haunted by her innermost thoughts.Now here she stood before the door to his chamber, frightened by the mere thought of seeing him face-to-face."We should go inside."Leah said, disrupting her thoughts."We should."She agreed but still remained glued to where she stood, not showing any sign of movement.Already fed up, Leah took the first step; she nudged the door open. Johanna was a bit startled but closed in behind her.They both stepped into the room simultaneously, holding their breaths for what was to come, but they were taken by surprise.William was seated at the edge of his bed, stripped of armor, wearing nothing but a soft strip of linen wrapped loosely around his waist.The rays coming fr

Chapter 173: Awakening

Racheal sat alone by the hearth, enthroned upon a chair of cold-hewn stone, its unyielding back pressing into her spine.In her hands, the knitting needles moved with dutiful precision, slipping and crossing in a practiced rhythm. Yet the motion was hollow, mechanical, and an instinct divorced from thought.Her gaze never strayed from the fire.The flames writhed and licked at the air, casting a fevered glow across her face, gilding across her cheekbones in an amber hue.In that restless flame, she searched for something unnamed…absolution. The fire reflected in her eyes, turning them molten, distant. It reminded her of all the promises that had been reduced to nothing.Her memories were in a state of jeopardy. Her skin prickling with heat from her own thoughts. His hands—she remembered his touch grazing her thighs. His voice, so deep and so enchanting, teasing at her earlobes. Those lips…oh, those lips.But now, where was he?In bed, a ghost of his former self, dying slowly.The

Chapter 174: A night with the king

A few minutes after Racheal stepped out, Micah came along through an opposite lobby. This was the fifth time she was crossing that path today. It wasn't a mere coincidence. She had been trying to fight the will to go into Ragaleon's chamber. For some reason she couldn't bring herself to see him.But right now, she had made up her mind to go in.She approached the door in small strides; surprisingly, the guards gave way immediately.She had thought they would turn her out; after all, Selena had given orders that no one was allowed to see the king.But what she didn't know was that Racheal had scared those two guards out of their wits. They simply bowed in courtesy, then opened the door for her to go in. She glides in, taking in all that was around her, her steps slowing down as her eyes roam around."What an irony."She began, her voice coarse."All my life of being in this castle, and the first time I step foot into your room is when you are on the verge of death."She really wishe
