All Chapters of The Alpha King’s Reborn Queen: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Serena In this time line, I have not returned home once in the past eight months. My family have sent letters and servants wanting to visit me but I continued to dodge it. I believed that having fewer contact with my family is the way to reduce Cassius’ suspicions. And my father already clashes with Cassius frequently during morning court. I wanted to keep them apart as much as possible. “Let’s go.” The three of them nod, and we leave without another word. Of course, there’s one thing I don’t mention- I never planned on going with Cassius in the first place. In accordance with my instructions, the carriage waiting for us does not bear the Royal insignia and just looks to belong to a normal noble household. From the outside, no one would be able to identify its passenger as the Queen. Only the driver knows precisely who he is carrying, and he is a palace guard trusted to keep his mouth shut. There is enough room inside for the four of us. I settle into my seat with a small

Serena I had already expected all of this. My reputation has been ruined for years. Those who dislike me will never miss the opportunity to speak of how difficult, jealous, and unsuitable I am. And those who admire Cassius would be more even more passionate. As for those who might have defended me? Well… there is none. Apart from my family, no one loves me enough to care what has been said about me, so there has never been anyone willing to step forward and suppress the gossip on my behalf. “Your Majesty…” “Miss…” My handmaidens whisper worriedly, all three looking at me with concerned eyes. My expression however, is completely unconcerned. I remember my brother’s words, “If Cassius truly loved you, he would never let rumors spread about you…” True. If the King forbade servants from gossiping. No one would dare to. After all, not only is he King. He is also their Alpha. Then suddenly, something warm covers my ears. I am taken aback for a moment. My hands reach up

Serena When we step out of the pavilion, I find that my three maids are waiting for us along with Killian. The moment they see us, the Rosalyn, Marisol and Kara curtsy, while Killian straightens and bows deeply. “Your Majesty.” They call. Cassius gives them a curt nod and says to my maids, “We will be setting out for the General’s Estate now. Follow in the carriage behind ours.” “Yes, Your Majesty.” They curtsy again. Cassius then turns to me and smiles softly, saying, “We should get going. Let’s not keep them waiting any longer.” “Alright.” I nod. He then strides away. My brows furrow in confusion. His gaze did not even pause on Killian even once. I’ve never seen him be that rude before. Aside from that one incident in our past life, Cassius has always been perfectly polite to him. In fact, Cassius is polite to everyone. He is known for being a gentle and magnanimous King. Unlike other nobles, he has never been known to be haughty. Killian remains where he is, his express

Serena “Your Majesty is being far too gracious, but there’s no need to say more.” Father clasps his hands and inclines his head with careful formality. “It really is this old man’s failure to raise his daughter properly. She has brought shame upon the royal household. Now that she’s home, I’ll see to it she’s disciplined properly. As everyone says, she is incompatible with the title of Queen.” On the surface, his words are disparaging to me. But you can tell that he’s really saying: since you feel my daughter is unsuitable and are dissatisfied with her. You should give her back. Heat burns the back of my eyes and I feel a lump in my throat. If anyone were to ask me what exactly I’d done to bring shame upon myself, it would simply be that I loved Cassius too much. I abandoned myself for him, in spite of the fact that he never gave me anything in return. I lower my lashes and press my lips together, saying nothing. So this is what it feels like to stand back and bask in my fathe

SERENA When Cassius began courting me that year, my mother had cautioned me gently, asking me to consider other men instead. “A royal marriage brings little happiness,” she had told me. “At the very least, choose a man who will be faithful to you.” I hadn’t listened and laughed at her worries. I told her she simply didn’t understand Cassius. My Cassius had promised me that other women would never be a problem. He had promised that he would love me and cherish only me. And I believed him. If she got to know him better, she would understand too. Father had been even more opposed. He told me that marrying Cassius would not be good for our clan. He told me that the Crown had always been wary of our family’s power. I remember being confused by it. Our clan had always been loyal. Our people died on the battlefield every day defending the kingdom. They were heroes. How could the Royal Family possibly dislike us? How could they be guarding against us? I didn’t understood the in
