Chapter 221
Silence, it was a long, dreadful silence.Nathaniel Jr.’s eyes were wide with rage. His entire body was trembling, his lips twitching from the shock and disbelief. He suddenly took a step forward, pointing at Mr. Brand furiously.“You crazy bastard!!” he roared, his voice echoing through the room.“How dare you say such words to my family?!”He stormed closer, veins bulging in his neck.“Tell me you’re joking! Tell me this is some sort of sick joke! You think this is funny?! That you’d come here, like this, beaten, crawling, and you dare to speak his words like some message boy?!”His chest was heaving now, fists shaking.“Talk to me, damn it!” he shouted, towering over Mr. Brown.“Talk to me!! Say something! Tell me it’s not real! Say it!!”But Brown didn't respond, his bloodshot eyes fluttered.Then suddenly his body went limp.His head dropped to the side. His breathing stopped. He fainted right there on their floor, bruised, broken, silent.“Brown?!” Nathaniel Jr. snapped. “Hey!”
Chapter 222
At that moment, upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. just said, Mr. Nathaniel slowly lifted his gaze and fixed it on his son. His expression didn’t change much he was still worn out, exhausted by what had just happened but there was now a faint trace of interest in his eyes. He didn’t say a word immediately. Then he tilted his head slightly and asked with a deep, heavy voice,“So… what is your plan?”Mrs. Nathaniel also turned, arms still folded tightly across her chest.“Yes, what do you have in mind?” she added.Her tone wasn’t warm. In fact, it carried more suspicion than hope, but she was desperate enough to listen.“Do you have anything anything at all that can stop this event from going on as planned?”Nathaniel Jr. took a breath and stepped forward, trying to appear more confident than he actually felt.“Yes. I do,” he said slowly.“There’s one person… Yafali.”That name immediately sparked recognition.Mr. Nathaniel furrowed his brows.“Yafali?”Mrs. Nathaniel raised a brow.“What

At that moment, hearing what her son had said, Mrs. Nathaniel who hadn’t known the full details before took a deep breath, placed both hands on her waist, and nodded slowly with a mixture of hope and anxiety. Her voice was low but firm as she said,“Alright then, if this is the angle we’re going with, then you must play your part properly, Nathaniel. I mean everything. From your words, your tone, your presence let them all carry weight. You must be deliberate. Convince Princess Naomi. Bind her thoughts to yours. Make her see reason, make her doubt this entire process. Make her believe that that boy is not ready, that he mustn’t be chosen. You understand me?”She stepped closer to him, locking eyes.“Tomorrow’s selection must not hold. That’s what you’re going there to make happen, right?”Nathaniel Jr. gave a slow nod.“Yes. Exactly, Mother. That’s the goal. Delay the selection. Break the momentum. If we win time, we’ll win everything.”His tone was calm but full of pressure. The stak

At that moment, upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. just said, Mr. Nathaniel leaned back slowly in his seat, folding his arms and narrowing his eyes as he thought deeply. There was a brief silence in the room, thick with tension and unspoken thoughts. He then slowly nodded and said in a calm but calculating voice, “We don’t know this plan very well. That’s true. And I already said it before we’re not going to approach this like we did with the rat anymore. That method won’t work this time. But…” he trailed off, his voice tightening slightly as he glanced at the closed curtains across the room.“…To get rid of them completely quietly requires discretion. Measures that leave no trace, no suspicion, and no loose ends.”Nathaniel Jr. remained silent, watching his father speak, trying to keep up with the depth of his tone.Mr. Nathaniel continued, “If we’re truly going to secure that full summit if we want complete control over it then your role is very simple but very critical. You must talk
Chapter 225
At that moment, the king leaned forward just a little, resting both hands on the carved arms of his throne, his gaze fixed steadily on Tyler. There was no arrogance in his voice, no distance in the way he spoke. It was calm, respectful, and surprisingly familiar. He then said.“I don’t see you as someone who’s undeserving anymore. I don’t see you as someone from outside these walls who needs to prove himself over and over. Tyler, you’ve shown more than enough. I see you now as a man of honor, of reputation, and of integrity. You carry yourself like someone who has known both pain and strength, someone who understands responsibility and that, that is rare.”He paused for a second, letting his words sink in.“I see someone with caliber, with potential that stretches far beyond what you might even realize. Someone I believe the future of this kingdom this throne can be safe with. I know I can trust the safety of our people, our crown, and the future of this land in your hands. That is no
Chapter 226
At that moment, Tyler straightened his back and spoke with a calm, steady voice, “With all due respect, it’s not that I don’t like the throne. I mean, who in their right mind would reject such an incredible opportunity? That’s not even the issue here. The throne it’s powerful, it’s meaningful, and I do admire it. And yes,” he added with a slight smile, “the princesses are breathtaking, both of them. Any man would be honored.”He paused briefly, taking a slow breath, then looked the king in the eye.“But I also know myself,” he continued, “and I know that I’m not someone who wants to be confined at least not yet. I love adventure. I love moving, learning, seeing the world, discovering who I am outside these walls. There are still things I want to do, places I want to reach, heights I haven’t climbed. I don’t want to feel caged, even if the cage is made of gold and lined with velvet.”His words echoed through the chamber with raw honesty.“Being here, tied to the throne, would mean I mi
Chapter 227
At that moment, upon hearing what her father just said, Princess Naomi could hardly believe her ears. Her eyes slowly shifted toward Tyler, and without realizing it, her upper lip curled slightly. A deep, unsettling disgust began to spread across her face like wildfire. She didn’t bother hiding it. Her entire expression darkened with disappointment and disbelief. She clenched her fists by her sides, her perfectly polished nails pressing into her palms.How could her father still be this blind? After everything after all the conversations, the warnings, the signs he was still pushing Tyler forward like some golden boy meant to carry the future of the kingdom. It was maddening.But Naomi… she wasn’t scared anymore. Not even a little.Because she had already made her move. Quietly, strategically. She had spoken with Nathaniel Jr., and their conversation had left her impressed and more confident than ever. The way he talked, the calm strength in his words, the way he didn’t sugarcoat any
Chapter 228
At that moment, upon hearing what Tyler just said, the King, and Edda froze, his fingers tightening against the armrest of his throne. His expression hardened, then shifted into utter disbelief. His eyes widened slightly, no one had expected this. Not a single soul.They all looked at each other in confusion, trying to make sense of what had just been spoken. Murmurs began to stir like restless winds, low and uneasy. How? How could Tyler a boy who had been given a once-in-a-lifetime choice, the chance to secure the throne of the kingdom decide to choose Princess Sophia? This was not in anyone’s imagination. This was not the outcome they had prepared their hearts for.At that moment the King slowly leaned forward, his brows furrowed, his voice heavy with the weight of generations of authority. “Tyler,” he said firmly, each syllable echoing across the chamber, “I hope you truly understand what you are doing. Picking Princess Sophia… it does not lead you to the throne. Do you realize th
Chapter 229
At first, Princess Sophia didn’t utter a single word. Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out. She was frozen not out of fear, but out of sheer disbelief. Her eyes blinked slowly as if trying to process the reality that had just unfolded in front of everyone in the grand hall.Tyler had picked her? It didn’t make sense. Not to her. Not to anyone.All eyes were now fixed on her, some wide with curiosity, others with envy, and a few especially Naomi’s with silent rage. But Sophia? She just stood there, her fingers gently locking themselves together in front of her, trying to calm the racing thoughts in her mind.She hadn’t prepared for this. Not in the slightest.Not once did she think her name would be called not when her sister, Princess Naomi, had made it so obvious that she was the crown jewel everyone sought. Naomi was bold, politically aware, strong, and aggressive in her pursuit of the throne. Sophia had always been the one in the background quiet, observant, and content
Chapter 230
At that moment, Tyler lowered his gaze respectfully and gave a slight bow to the King. His voice carried no arrogance, no hidden agenda, only the steady tone of a man who knew the weight of his words. “Your Majesty,” he began, “there is one request I wish to ask of you.”The great hall grew quiet again. Even the distant guards by the door leaned forward, curious. King Eda adjusted slightly in his throne, narrowing his eyes as he studied the young man before him. Tyler’s expression was calm, his posture firm, yet there was something about his request that already seemed unusual. With a simple nod, the King gestured for him to continue. “What is it?”Tyler drew in a measured breath, then lifted his head just enough to look the King in the eye. “I ask,” he said slowly, “that all of these arrangements be kept strictly within these walls. Let no word escape to the public. What was decided here today let it remain here today. When the time comes, when Princess Sophia and I are ready to push
