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, 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

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

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

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
