Chapter 201
At that moment, upon hearing what Princess Sophia had just said, Tyler couldn’t help but lower his head slightly and nod. Her words had landed in the quiet part of his chest the part that had been twisting all evening with doubt, pressure, and the weight of choices.She didn’t demand. She didn’t push. She simply understood.But still, deep inside, Tyler also known deep down in his heart wasn't planning to pick any of them. He never was. His heart wasn’t in it. Not for Princess Naomi. Not for the King’s other daughter either. He had nothing against either of them, but he knew the truth: his future wasn’t tied to anyone’s crown.But at the same time, he didn’t want to offend the King. A wrong move could cause more damage than anyone could imagine. That’s why tomorrow mattered. If he could strike a deal… a clean, respectful agreement to step away without offending anyone, then that would be the best thing to do. That would be his perfect win.With his thoughts still circling, Tyler lifte

Without wasting any more time, he skewed his face bitterly, the lines of frustration tightening around his eyes. His jaw locked, and he turned away, fast, refusing to let anyone see the storm burning behind his eyes. It was too much. Too humiliating. Too unreal. He didn’t want to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing his pride bleed through his expression. And just like that, his feet moved stiffly, angrily, as he walked away from the scene, his soaked footsteps fading into the distance.At that moment, Tyler and his mother stepped back inside their establishment.The warmth that greeted them was nothing compared to the warmth glowing from Tyler’s mother’s face. She was practically buzzing with joy, her voice light and full of excitement as she began to speak words tumbling out of her as if she couldn’t hold them in any longer.“Tyler! Did you see what just happened out there?” she said, still drying her arms with a small cloth. “The way Mr. David looked at me, the way he smiled. And
Chapter 203
At that moment, upon hearing what his mother just said, Tyler let out a soft sigh and leaned slightly back in his seat. He rubbed the back of his neck and gave a small, unsure smile. His eyes didn’t meet hers at first not because he was hiding something, but because the weight of everything on his mind wasn’t something he could explain in just one sentence.“Well…” he began gently, “I don’t really know about that yet.”Immediately his mother’s curious eyes stayed on him, listening carefully.“I haven’t made any decision,” he added. “Like… I’ve truly not made any decision at all.”At that moment he paused a bit, choosing his words carefully for to make his mother worry.“And honestly,” he said, glancing at her, “I don’t even know if I’m going to pick from either of them. I mean, I don’t want to be king. That’s not something I ever wished for.”He shook his head slowly, his voice steady but sincere. “I don’t know if the king was even serious about it. You know, maybe when I get there to
Chapter 204
Nathaniel Jr. stood in front of his father like a statue carved out of shame, his head bowed low, his lips sealed, and his eyes fixed on the ground. His fingers were clenched tightly behind his back, his breathing shallow, and he could feel the cold weight of failure pressing heavily on his shoulders. He couldn’t speak there was nothing to say. Because he knew, deep down, that he had failed.Everything was falling apart. Nothing was going the way it should have gone.For the past few days, he had been hunting for that good-for-nothing Tyler the boy everyone was talking about, the same boy who now had the ridiculous privilege of picking between two royal princesses. Nathaniel Jr. had searched in circles, calling in favors, paying people, making threats but no trace of him. Tyler had vanished, as if protected by some invisible force, and now... time was up.Tomorrow was the day. The royal selection. The day Tyler would stand before the King and make his choice. And Nathaniel Jr. who had
Chapter 205
At that moment, upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. had just said, both Mr. Nathaniel and his wife turned slowly to look at each other. Their expressions remained cold, unreadable at first. But something passed between them a silent exchange. They had both seen it. The determination in their son’s eyes. The desperation in his voice. The weight in his bow.He wasn’t just saying it this time. He wasn’t making excuses.There was something different in his posture, in the way his fists remained clenched even as his head remained bowed low. This wasn’t the usual Nathaniel Jr. they knew the one who would try, fail, and cover it with arrogance. No. This time… he was pleading. But not out of weakness.It was because he wanted to prove something.And that alone was worth noticing.Mrs. Nathaniel narrowed her eyes and tilted her head just slightly, her lips pressed together in thought. Mr. Nathaniel crossed his arms, staring down at his son with a tightened jaw.They didn’t speak immediately, becau
Chapter 206
At that moment, upon hearing what Mr. Brown had just revealed, Mr. Nathaniel stood up so quickly that the ornate wooden chair beneath him groaned and scraped against the polished floor. His expression, once composed, was now fierce, almost thunderous. He ran a hand through his hair, clearly agitated, then pointed toward the floor as if trying to hold back the anger bubbling inside him.“I knew it!” he snapped. “I knew we weren’t the only ones she approached. How could we be so foolish to think otherwise?”He turned slightly, pacing. “We’re here, sitting with folded arms, taking things slowly like we’ve got all the time in the world, when another family no, not just any family, the Bushmans are out there moving, laying their groundwork, probably already in talks with the boy!”He paused, his chest rising and falling with frustration. “And what are we doing? Nothing! Nothing but hoping that time will wait for us. This is a golden opportunity one that only comes once and we’re just going
Chapter 207
After Tyler and his mother returned home from the grand opening ceremony, there was a subtle shift in the air. The event had gone well, people had praised his mother’s hard work, and smiles had been exchanged with high-level guests. But Tyler wasn’t completely at ease. His mind was already on the next step because for him, tomorrow wasn’t just the beginning of business. It was the beginning of responsibility.The moment they stepped through the front door, Tyler helped his mother out of her shoes, gave her a light hug, and said, “You go rest, Mom. You’ve done enough for today.”Hearing what Tyler just said, his mother tried to protest, smiling weakly. “Are you sure you don’t need help unpacking?”But Tyler shook his head gently. “I’m not unpacking anything tonight. I have something I need to take care of first.”Immediately she raised an eyebrow, sensing the seriousness in his tone. “Work?” she asked.Then Tyler gave a small nod. “Kind of. Just… trust me on this one.”His mother sighe
Chapter 208
At that moment, Mr. Brown was now standing right in front of Tyler.He had taken his time to observe the young man, and from every single detail from the way Tyler stood, to the way he looked back at him without a hint of fear Mr. Brown could already confirm everything he had heard. The reports were not exaggerated. Tyler truly looked like nothing special. Just a regular man. No aura of nobility, no presence of power. His clothes were plain, his stance unassuming. If one were to pass by him on the street, they wouldn't even glance twice.And that… that was what made it all so unbelievable.Then Mr. Brown’s lips thinned. he couldn't believe this is the one they chose? This is the boy who caught the attention of a royal princess?He found it ridiculous, how could someone so ordinary, someone who didn’t even carry himself with an ounce of royal etiquette, possibly be in the same space as them, let alone be considered for anything that concerned the royal family?He had worked under the m
Chapter 209
At that moment, Mr. Brown slowly shook his head in bitter disappointment, his lips pressed tightly together as his eyes remained fixed on Tyler. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard no, he refused to believe it.Did this boy just draw a line with him? he, was being told what to do, what not to do, and being warned about consequences like some street fool? It was absurd. It was insulting. It was infuriating.Nobody… absolutely nobody gave him orders. Nobody dared to stand before him like an equal, not to talk of someone who looked like they were plucked out of some random crowd. It was beyond arrogance it was stupidity.At that moment, Brown didn't respond. He didn’t give in to the anger boiling in his chest. He simply stayed silent. Not because he had no words, but because he had too many. And if he opened his mouth now, he might say something he wouldn't be able to take back.He inhaled slowly, deep and controlled, letting the rage settle somewhere deeper. He decided to act li
Chapter 210
At that moment, Mr. Brown calmly adjusted the cuff of his coat, then looked straight into Tyler’s eyes. His voice carried weight not loud, but heavy with confidence and finality.“Now listen,” he said. “I’m not here on behalf of the Bushman family. I came directly as the voice of the Nathaniel family. And that means I don’t deal in rumors, I deal in facts and results.”He took a step closer, tone sharper but still polite.“Whatever it is the Bushman have promised you… status, money, fame, protection I want you to say it now. Every single word. Because I’m telling you, the Nathaniel are ready to double everything. Twice the benefits. Twice the protection. Twice the reward. That’s how serious we are.”He paused again, letting those words hang heavy in the air like a silent threat. “That is why I came myself. Not a messenger. Not a middleman. Me. Because I came to strike this deal with you face to face. So that there’s no misunderstanding. No confusion. No turning back.”Mr. Brown then p
