All Chapters of Royal Hunt Massacre: The Framed Princess Returns: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The throb in the back of my head only made my mind clearer.In my past life, I would have taken Connor's scolding to heart. I would have questioned whether I was truly too selfish, too stubborn, and too hard to deal with.But now, just looking at his face made my old wounds ache all over again.I forced myself up, raised my hand, and slapped Connor hard across the face."Connor," I said coldly, "you seem to be forgetting something. The only reason you and your pack enjoy the best resources in Elyndor is my Alpha King father's years of backing."You got all your weapons, territory, and connections because of our engagement. And here you are, standing in front of me, taking my things as if they were yours?"The room fell dead silent. I stared him straight in the eye. "You want to protect her so badly? Fine. We're calling off the engagement right now."The moment the words left my mouth, Connor's expression shifted drastically. "Aliya, what ridiculous nonsense are you talking about

The surroundings instantly fell dead silent. Everyone stared with wide eyes.Mandy looked at me in disbelief.Connor's face turned deathly pale. He stumbled back until his spine slammed into another werewolf."No, this is impossible… Aliya, I can't believe you'd go to such extreme lengths! Did you really blind yourself just to dodge the blame?"The enforcer captain turned to the healer, who stepped forward and examined my face."She has indeed undergone corneal removal surgery. Judging by the healing of the wound, it was likely done last night. And the one who performed it was the chief healer, Kyle Francis, correct?"I nodded slightly.My best friend, Valeria Sharpe, had just rushed back to Elyndor. Pushing through the crowd blocking her path, she bolted to my side and gripped my hands tightly."Aliya, how are you feeling? The healer emphasized over and over yesterday that you need to protect the wound. Do your eyes hurt?""Don't worry," I said, gently patting the back of Val

Hearing the shouts outside, I shot up in bed."Aliya, don't worry about what's happening outside. How are your eyes? Do they still hurt?" Mom quickly pressed a hand against my shoulder, holding me in place."Healer Francis just told us that after changing your dressing, you need plenty of rest, especially over the next few months. Keep water out of your eyes, and absolutely no more injuries!""You don't need to stress over anything else. Your mom and I are right here. We won't let anyone hurt you again, and those who spread the rumors will pay for every word!"It was Dad's voice.I raised my head, trying to turn toward the sound, but a pair of rough, large hands gently cupped mine the very next second."Mom, Dad, I'm really okay. It's no big deal. They were just misled and didn't know the truth.""Didn't know the truth? They certainly looked like they knew plenty when they were surrounding you and throwing insults!"Dad's voice suddenly rose, filled with anger. "Especially Conn

Though locked in pitch-black darkness, I could still clearly smell Connor's nauseating scent."Connor, have you lost your mind?"I spoke calmly, not in the least intimidated by his presence. "First, our engagement is over."Second, those privileges were gifts from my father solely because of our engagement. Now that it's broken off, isn't it only natural to revoke them? Third…"I turned toward his direction and let out a smirk. "We are long finished. Where do you get the nerve to show your face in front of me again?"Connor choked on his words. His fists clenched so hard his knuckles popped."Aliya Blair, don't think for a second I won't lay a hand on you! You're nothing but a blind shewolf now. What gives you the right to act so arrogant with me?"I let out a soft laugh. "Connor, do you really think I made a name for myself on the Hunt Festival leaderboard purely because of my eyesight? Believe me, even without my eyes, I can still rip your throat out right now."Connor sudden

Three hours later, Valeria ran in to tell me that Connor was kneeling outside the palace, begging for a moment with me.I simply turned over in bed. Valeria caught my drift instantly and had the guards drive off Connor, who was clinging to the fence and screaming like a madman.Mom and Dad rushed back the moment they got the news to stay by my side.Kyle informed me that thanks to my strong constitution, my wounds were healing remarkably fast, and I could undergo the cornea transplant in three days to regain my sight.Three days later, the surgery went smoothly.When it came time to remove the gauze, even Kyle was noticeably tense. "Open your eyes slowly. Take your time. Let them adjust…"A blurry light slowly seeped into the back of my eyes. It stung slightly at first, then gradually sharpened into focus.I saw Valeria's eyes, which were red from crying. I saw the beads of sweat on Kyle's forehead, and I saw the open sky outside the window.I could see everything again!Mom h
