Chapter 328
The throne hall remained silent long after Kai's final words.No one dared to speak.The weight of everything that had been revealed still hung heavily in the air. The Queen's betrayal, General Marcus' confession, the deaths of two queens, and the attempt to assassinate the King had shaken the very foundation of the Prescott Clan.The King slowly closed his eyes.When he opened them again, the warmth that had always been there was gone.Only the authority of a monarch remained.He rose from his throne, his robes swaying as he looked down at the two people kneeling before him."Guards." His voice echoed throughout the hall.Immediately, dozens of royal guards stepped forward and knelt."Your Majesty."The King took a slow breath before delivering his judgment."Queen Dugan and General Marcus are guilty of high treason, regicide, conspiracy, adultery, and the murder of members of the royal family." His eyes swept across the hall. "Their crimes are beyond forgiveness."The guards lowere

The King looked at Marcus for a long moment before speaking."You must have been rejected, and I know that kind of pain can destroy a person." His voice remained calm despite everything that had happened. "But you never came to us. You never gave us the chance to decide whether we would accept you or not."Marcus let out a cold laugh. "And how exactly was I supposed to do that?" he asked. "Walk into the palace and announce that I was King Deon's abandoned son? Who would have believed me?"He spread his hands mockingly. "Your father abandoned my mother because of her Fox blood. Your clan worships bloodlines above everything else. Tell me, why would I believe any of you would welcome me with open arms?"His eyes turned toward Queen Dugan. "She was my only way into the palace."Queen Dugan stared at him in disbelief. "So... you used me?"Marcus didn't even hesitate. "I'm sorry if you feel that way," he replied indifferently. "But it is what it is."His words struck her harder than a slap

The King slowly rose to his feet, his expression a mixture of anger and heartbreak."I explained everything to you, Dugan," he said, his voice trembling with restrained emotion. "I told you why things couldn't work between us."He took a slow breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside him."I couldn't abandon the clan.""There was already enough chaos between the Dragon and Fox Clans after my elder brother violated the Fox Princess. That single act ignited a conflict that nearly destroyed both clans. He was executed for his crime, leaving me as the only prince in line for the throne."His eyes darkened with painful memories. Not long afterward, my father, King Deon, fell into his Frozen State—a condition he remains trapped in even today."He clenched his fists. "You know what that did to my mother. She had already lost her first son. She watched her husband become nothing more than a lifeless shell. She was drowning in grief."He looked directly into Dugan's eyes. "Did you really

The Royal Physician bowed deeply."Yes, Your Majesty."The old physician opened an ancient wooden case and carefully removed several crystal vials along with a silver needle.The atmosphere inside the ballroom became suffocatingly quiet.No one dared to speak.The physician approached the King first."Forgive me, Your Majesty."The King extended his hand without hesitation.A tiny drop of blood fell into the crystal vial.Next, the physician walked toward the young princess.She looked nervously at the needle before glancing at the King.The King smiled gently. "It will only sting for a moment."The little girl nodded bravely and stretched out her finger.A second drop of blood entered another crystal vial. The physician sealed both containers before placing them onto a small jade plate.Everyone watched without blinking. Even Queen Dugan had unconsciously stopped crying.Her fingers dug deeply into her sleeves."Please..." She silently prayed. "Please work..."The physician took a de

All three princes arrived almost at the same time and immediately heard Princess Lila's accusation.The atmosphere turned tense.Prince Harry was the first to step forward."What's going on here?" he demanded. "I heard General Marcus was arrested, so I came as quickly as I could."His eyes moved from the King to Queen Dugan before finally settling on his sister.Then Prince Josh frowned."Did I hear you correctly?" he asked. "Did you just say Queen Dugan killed our mothers?"The room instantly became silent.Prince Robert looked equally stunned."I thought I was the only one who heard that."Queen Dugan's face darkened."Of course not," she snapped. "Your sister is making ridiculous accusations."She pointed at Princess Lila."You all know she's hated me from the very beginning. She's never accepted me."Her eyes became red as tears began gathering."She's been pretending all these years."Before anyone could respond, the King suddenly spoke."Someone."His voice was weak but commandi

"My princess, what is it that you have to say?" the King demanded, his voice carrying authority despite his weakened condition.Princess Lila stepped forward and took a deep breath."Father, I have always believed that the accident involving my mother and Prince Harry's mother years ago was not natural. There were too many inconsistencies. I knew something had been hidden from us."The King's brows furrowed. "What are you insinuating?""Someone tampered with the carriage," Lila said firmly. "For years, I chose not to investigate because there was no proof. But two hours ago, Chairman Cole gave me a riddle to think about. It made me start connecting certain pieces, and when I looked deeper, I uncovered something far worse."The King's gaze immediately shifted. "What did Chairman Cole ask you to look into?""He simply asked me one question," Lila replied..She turned slowly toward Queen Dugan.."He asked me if I didn't see the resemblance."At those words, Queen Dugan's heart skipped a be
