Chapter 241
“Pardon me, Your Highness…”Lana frowned.Wasn’t what she had just done already clear enough?That she was rejecting the prince’s desire—it was the firmest refusal a “subject” could possibly make in the most polite form before her prince.If Richard still had any sense, shouldn’t he understand that?But what Lana failed to realize was that no one could refuse what Richard desired.If the prince wanted something, it became an absolute command—one that no one, without exception, was allowed to refuse.And speaking of “sense,” Richard certainly had his own version of it when he continued speaking.“Well, do I need to repeat it?” he said, releasing his hand from the edge of Lana’s dress.“That’s the only way to apologize. And don’t misunderstand. I’ve never been angry or bothered by anything you said or did. So you don’t need to apologize to me for anything.”“If I’m asking you to apologize now,” Richard continued, folding his arms across his chest as a smirk appeared on his lips, “it’s f

“I will do it.”When Richard heard the Spectre say those words, his eyes at the same time noticed how the girl’s left hand dropped heavily to her side, as if all the strength had suddenly drained from it.But that wasn’t what left Richard stunned.At the moment Lana’s hand fell, the dress she had been holding against her chest slipped partly downward as well, revealing the side of her left breast.With the faint curve visible and skin whose texture was not only incredibly smooth—like ancient Chinese porcelain—but also snow-white, Lana in that position looked like a goddess revealing a small glimpse of her “innocence” to the world. It was something that simply couldn’t be described with words.Truly beautiful.Gulp.Richard unconsciously swallowed.Although he maintained a serious, calm, and seemingly emotionless expression on his face, what he saw made his eyes feel as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.What stood before him now was something he had never seen in his enti

“Jump!”That cold and harsh voice rang in Lana’s ears as a hand—just as cold and rough—pushed her back from behind.“Wait—!”That was the only word the little girl managed to cry out before she felt her body thrown into the air. Then, the rising heat from below immediately forced her mind to shift its focus away from the guard and toward what she had to do next.Splash!“Woah! It’s so hot! Help me! Help! I can’t swim!”Lana flailed her arms, struggling desperately to keep herself afloat after briefly sinking under the water.Although the darkness of the night, lit only by the moonlight, made it hard for her to see clearly, her eyes could still catch the bubbles rising to the surface, accompanied by the sound of boiling water in her ears.“Help me!”The sight made her chest tighten even more with fear.At the same time, seeing dozens of other children begin to sink one by one after exhausting themselves trying to stay afloat and cry for help, Lana felt that her fate wouldn’t be any dif

Beep-beep-beep-beep!Not only was the alarm deafening, it acted like a shock that snapped Lana back to her senses.Turning around, she immediately fixed her dress back into place properly.This time, without hesitation or fear.“W-what… what are you doing?”Richard’s voice trembled as he spoke—not out of concern for the alarm, but from the overwhelming turmoil in his heart, now on the verge of being left unsatisfied.“W-why… why are you putting your clothes back on?”Those questions sounded utterly ridiculous to Lana now.That wasn’t an ordinary alarm. A great danger was approaching. So how could someone still be thinking about “pleasure” at a time like this?But that no longer mattered to her.Instead of answering, she pulled a pistol from beneath her dress.“Your Highness, please remain in this room. Whatever happens, do not come out until I return.”The face that had looked desperate and sorrowful just moments ago was now sharp and alert.Lana was the head of security in this palac
Chapter 245
While Richard’s shouting continued to echo throughout his private chamber, Lana, who had just stepped out, immediately headed toward the alarm control area.“Strange… shouldn’t everything be under control?” she muttered, her face filled with unease. “What’s going on?”There were two types of alarms in this palace.The first was a standard alarm, with a lower sound, used for fires or incidents that didn’t require her direct attention.The second was something she had to handle personally—usually triggered by an intruder or a high-level security threat that ordinary guards couldn’t deal with.Over the past week, Lana had made sure there wasn’t a single suspicious figure inside the palace, and that any newcomers—whoever they were—had been thoroughly inspected.She was certain she had done everything correctly.But if something happened today—especially right before tonight’s charity celebration—it would weigh heavily on her mind.It would be like a stain on her reputation if she couldn’t

“Has Martin returned your call yet?”In the living room of the Varelli mansion, Silvana looked at Quinn while massaging her temples. Her face was filled with unease.It was already seven in the evening. The event would begin in one hour. If they didn’t leave now, they might be late.And being late to an event hosted directly by the palace was simply unacceptable.Of course, given her position as the Queen’s advisor, Silvana had certain privileges. But she had no intention of using them just to arrive late on purpose. She didn’t want to leave a bad impression in the Queen’s eyes.As an advisor, she wanted to maintain her reputation for punctuality and discipline.“Not yet.”Shaking her head, Quinn looked just as anxious.For the past two hours, she had been trying to reach her husband. But aside from the automated voicemail, she received no response at all.“Martin, if you see your phone, please call me back right away, okay?”That was what she had said in the voicemail—just like befor
Chapter 247
Although he wasn’t among the invited guests—and bringing someone without an invitation could cause serious trouble—Martin’s presence at the palace had actually been part of Silvana’s plan from the beginning.Her plan was simple.Tell the truth—that Quinn was already married. Bring her husband and proof of it. Then hope the royal family would reconsider their arrangement.But wasn’t that full of risks?If the royal family insisted on continuing with the engagement, not only would their plan fail—it would also put Martin in danger.The royal family wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate a man they now saw as an obstacle.“No… I can’t let that happen,” Quinn murmured softly as she pulled her phone back out of her bag.She really wanted to ask her husband for help.But she wanted even more for nothing to happen to him.If she had to choose, she would rather see him safe than risk his life for her.“I have to tell him to go back home immediately and not go anywhere.”She couldn’t send a voice mess
Chapter 248
Thirty minutes later, the two cars began entering the special district reserved for the royal family.For a full kilometer leading up to the palace, red flags were placed along the roadside every ten meters.Naturally, that made Silvana even more uneasy.This is bad, she thought.The palace never did this unless they were welcoming a prospective new member of the family.That meant they were already very certain about arranging the prince’s match with her daughter tonight.And that forced Silvana to think very carefully about what she should say—if she didn’t want to ruin everything.As they passed through the palace gates, dozens of attendants stood along the road, as if waiting for their arrival.“This is starting to feel way too excessive,” Silvana muttered, unable to hide her anxiety any longer.Her unease only grew stronger.Not even a prime minister would receive such a reception.What she was seeing only reinforced her fear that the engagement would truly happen tonight.Just a

Two months earlier.“Quinn, the reason I allowed Gianna to stay here is actually because…”Over the past month, as Martin’s relationship with his wife had grown much closer, it felt rather odd to have another woman—especially someone as beautiful as Valentina—living in the same house with them.That was why Martin gave a brief explanation, saying that the girl might be in serious danger if she were to live outside on her own.“I’m a former soldier,” Martin continued, feeling that there was no longer any need to hide his identity from his wife.Of course, he didn’t say anything about Spectre or that he had once been number one in Norvia’s most elite military unit.Not for any particular reason—just that it was all in the past, and he didn’t think it was important enough to tell Quinn.Not only that.Martin also showed a few photos—very few—that remained from his past, one of which was taken during a mission in a region of Asia.“Hold a second,” Quinn said, who had been leaning against

And now, a girl with such charm was standing right in front of her husband, placing her hands on his shoulders—showing a gesture far too intimate to be called merely an “old acquaintance.”Not just her—any wife would surely think the same.“That girl… Lana, right?”Walking beside the palace officer, Quinn lowered her head, her face tense with the storm of thoughts raging in her mind.“And that look…”Martin might possess an extraordinary mind for reading patterns. But a woman—especially someone with thoughts as complex as Quinn—also had an equally sharp ability to read human emotions.She might have never met Lana in person before. But just from the way that girl looked at her husband, it was already more than enough to make one thing clear.That girl had very deep feelings for him.“No. Why am I thinking like this right now?” Quinn thought, the corners of her eyes beginning to moisten. “I shouldn’t be thinking such things… not about Martin.”Her husband had never mentioned having any
