All Chapters of A Sparrow Stole My Place As Heir: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Moments later, a company of the High Guard approached with grim expressions.Before their commander could reach my nine sisters, Seravelle spoke bitterly. “You still have time to apologize to Corvin before we use the Mirror of True Forms on you. Otherwise, when it reveals what you really are, I’ll strip you of your powers and banish you to the mortal world.”When I recognized Brannoc, the God of War, leading them, I could only marvel at Seravelle’s stupidity.Brannoc was one of the few true friends I had in the High Realm.In the original timeline, when my nine sisters tormented me, Brannoc never once wavered in his support.When he learned of my death, he wept as he laid me to rest. Then, he reversed the flow of the Starfall River and sent its waters crashing through my sisters’ palace.I would not let my best friend mourn me again.“Good to see you again, Brannoc,” I said with a smile.At the sound of my voice, he hesitated before his expression darkened. “You insolent crea

I recognized that hand at once. A broad smile spread across my face.“Father, I’ve been waiting for you.”Before the stunned crowd could react, my father appeared in the banquet hall.I rushed over and embraced him, barely able to contain my excitement.The assembled gods stood frozen. They lowered their eyes and pretended not to stare, but their shock was impossible to hide.The guards at Father’s side made no move to stop me. That alone told everyone what they needed to know.“We’ve made a terrible mistake. Auren really is the High King’s heir! Who told us he was the fraud?”“So, the nine princesses have been protecting an impostor this entire time?” “No common sparrow would steal the heir’s identity so openly. Someone powerful must be behind him!”Panic flickered across Seravelle’s face when she saw Father arrive.She exchanged a frightened glance with my sisters. Then, they hurriedly stood at attention, each pressing a hand over her heart in formal greeting.One look at

Father’s chest rose and fell with barely contained fury. One of his daughters had already died after trying to harm me, and Seravelle had forced me to silence her as well.Even then, Seravelle was still trying to break the silencing spell.All her life, she had been Father’s favorite daughter, pampered and protected from every consequence. She could not accept that she had been punished because of me.Worse still, Corvin had witnessed her humiliation. In her mind, I was entirely to blame for making her look weak before the man she loved. Breathing hard, she finally broke through my spell and staggered to her feet.Ignoring her injuries, she protested, “Father, you’ve always been too lenient with Auren. As his eldest sister, I was only trying to correct his behavior. What exactly did I do wrong?”That was the last thing Father needed to hear.“He is my son and heir. I know him far better than you ever could, so don’t presume to tell me how to raise him. I asked you to protect your

“Must you turn this family disgrace into a scandal for all Three Realms to witness?” Father bellowed with fury.“Save Corvin, and we’ll let the entire matter rest.” Seravelle insisted.“The oldest laws of magic are at work here. Even I can’t simply overturn their judgment. You turned against your own brother for an impostor. Haven’t you done enough?“Auren will inherit my throne. If you continue to provoke him, not even I can protect you when he becomes High King,” Father warned them.“Does he even deserve your throne? He’s too weak and indecisive to rule!” Elvarra stepped forward and declared.“Perhaps I’ve been too merciful then. Guards, execute every attendant who aided Corvin and erase their spirits from existence. Sever Corvin’s limbs, then use whatever magic is necessary to keep him alive.“I want him to witness exactly how I punish those who challenge the Divine Heir!”At my command, my sisters erupted in protest once more.“You would execute so many of your own people?
