At that moment, silence fell across the royal chamber as Naomi’s words echoed through the thick air. Her voice was calm but firm, and her face though composed held a fierce storm beneath her sharp eyes. She had chosen to speak not as a submissive daughter, but as a proud princess one who understood her worth and wasn’t afraid to defend it. Now she looked her father directly in the eyes, her tone unwavering as she said, “Father, I am deeply sorry if my words come off as disrespectful, but I cannot keep silent about this. I cannot pretend to agree with a decision that disregards everything I believe in. With all due respect, I am a woman, yes, but I am also your first daughter a princess born not just to be gifted away like a trophy, but to be respected, fight for my love, to be heard, and to be understood.” Naomi took a breath, steadying her voice as she continued, “You are asking me to accept someone that boy, someone I do not know, someone without history, without standing, withou

At that moment, upon hearing what Sophia had just said, the king then nod his head slowly. His eyes lingered on his daughter for a moment, and a long sigh slipped from his lips. But deep down inside the king’s mind, a bitter thought twisted through his heart why couldn’t it be that Sophia was actually his eldest daughter? That question alone stirred a wave of regret in him. If Sophia had been born first, he wouldn’t have found himself in this situation. He wouldn’t have struggled to convince her. He wouldn’t have to push so hard or face such resistance. Sophia, with all her wisdom and grace, would have accepted his judgment maybe not without questions, but certainly without defiance. Then the king leaned back on his seat, lost in thought. He didn’t know exactly what to do anymore. The weight of the crown suddenly felt heavier than usual. But what made it worse, what truly broke his heart… was the reality that Sophia was also sick. And from the look of things, it wasn’t the kind of

At that moment, the security guard's instruction again made the ladies even more angrier. Their faces tightened, their pride stung, and the arrogance they carried so boldly suddenly felt under attack. They couldn't believe that these men were still adamant, that they were still standing their ground, that they still didn't want them to go in. For women of their standing, women used to walking into any place without question, this was humiliation of the highest order. The audacity of a common doorman telling them no burned like fire in their chests.At that moment, without wasting any more time, they said.“This is going to be the last time we're going to repeat themselves.” Their voices rose sharply, laced with venom. Their heels clicked against the stone floor as one of them stepped closer, her words slicing through the air.“Step aside now immediately step aside.” The warning in their tone was clear; they weren’t women who were used to being denied.At that moment, the security guar

At that moment, the tension thickened around the entrance like a thick cloud. Evelyn’s mother, unable to take the shame building up around them, snapped in fury. Her voice cracked through the air like thunder, “What the hell is this all about? Do you even know who we are?”Without wasting anymore time she marched a few steps forward, pointing aggressively at the guards, her face flushed red with indignation. “Do you think just because someone gave you peanuts to stand here and bark orders like wild dogs, that gives you the right to embarrass respectable people like us?” Her tone was piercing. “You don’t even know your limits. Trying to look down on us as if we are commoners. You’ve just crossed the line, and you’re not going to get away with this!”Again the few people outside began whispering among themselves. The spectacle was growing louder. But the security guards didn’t even flinch. Their leader, a tall, stern-looking man with a square jaw and a steely gaze, simply tilted his he

At that moment, Evelyn’s mother slowly turned to her daughter with a strange, confused expression, her brows tightly furrowed and her lips parted just slightly in disbelief. Her voice trembled as she said,“This is not a dream, Evelyn. That was princess Sophia. She really just walked into Tyler's mother’s establishment.”Even as she spoke the words, she found it hard to believe herself. Her gaze remained locked on the entrance where Princess Sophia had just entered a few moments ago, and she shook her head as if trying to make sense of it all.“But… how? How is this even possible?” she muttered under her breath. “They don’t even know each other at least they shouldn’t. What is going on?”The entire situation was like a riddle wrapped in chaos.“Ever since Tyler came back,” she continued, her voice slightly louder now and more directed to herself as much as to Evelyn, “nothing makes sense anymore. He’s no longer the weak boy we knew. Just look at the way he destroyed Lucas the other d
