At that moment, Evelyn folded her arms and scoffed loudly, her voice rising with bitter defiance.

“You all are so focused on Tyler like he’s the only man in the world. Uncle, you have a daughter, don’t you? Why not offer her up instead? At least Tyler would like her. She’s pretty. She has class. She knows how to speak and walk like someone who belongs here. She’s not some rejected, pathetic mess. You all should just leave me out of this. I’ve moved past Tyler. I am not crawling back to that vomit. Never again. It was a mistake then, and I won’t make that mistake again.”

Her words were laced with a cold finality, and everyone in the room could feel the tension shift sharply. Evelyn’s father slammed his hand on the table, standing to his feet in anger. His voice thundered across the room.

“So you are ready to throw everything away? All of it? Just because of your pride?” he shouted, his eyes burning with frustration. “You think this is some game? Do you even know how serious your grand

    At that moment, upon hearing what Sophia had just said, the king then nod his head slowly. His eyes lingered on his daughter for a moment, and a long sigh slipped from his lips. But deep down inside the king’s mind, a bitter thought twisted through his heart why couldn’t it be that Sophia was actually his eldest daughter?That question alone stirred a wave of regret in him. If Sophia had been born first, he wouldn’t have found himself in this situation. He wouldn’t have struggled to convince her. He wouldn’t have to push so hard or face such resistance. Sophia, with all her wisdom and grace, would have accepted his judgment maybe not without questions, but certainly without defiance.Then the king leaned back on his seat, lost in thought. He didn’t know exactly what to do anymore. The weight of the crown suddenly felt heavier than usual. But what made it worse, what truly broke his heart… was the reality that Sophia was also sick. And from the look of things, it wasn’t the kind of sic

    At that moment, Naomi took a slow breath in, as if she were steadying herself not just before her father the king, but before the very weight of her future. Her eyes were calm, focused, yet carried a blazing defiance, a fire of someone who would not be moved by power, pressure, or persuasion.“Father,” she began, her voice not loud, but firm enough to silence even the rustling of the guards’ armor nearby, “with all due respect, you know I value your judgment. You’ve led this kingdom and the country with wisdom. You’ve raised me with strength. And I respect you more than words can say.”The King’s gaze didn’t waver. He leaned forward slightly, resting his chin on his fingers as he studied her.She continued, “But you also know… I’m a woman of principle. I’ve never just followed what the world demands of me I follow what I know is right for me. I’ve always done that, Father. And this this so-called arrangement it’s not for me. That person… Tyler he’s not the ideal man I dreamed of. Not

    At that moment, silence fell across the royal chamber as Naomi’s words echoed through the thick air. Her voice was calm but firm, and her face though composed held a fierce storm beneath her sharp eyes. She had chosen to speak not as a submissive daughter, but as a proud princess one who understood her worth and wasn’t afraid to defend it.Now she looked her father directly in the eyes, her tone unwavering as she said, “Father, I am deeply sorry if my words come off as disrespectful, but I cannot keep silent about this. I cannot pretend to agree with a decision that disregards everything I believe in. With all due respect, I am a woman, yes, but I am also your first daughter a princess born not just to be gifted away like a trophy, but to be respected, fight for my love, to be heard, and to be understood.”Naomi took a breath, steadying her voice as she continued, “You are asking me to accept someone that boy, someone I do not know, someone without history, without standing, without e

    At that moment, upon hearing what the King had just said, Princess Naomi shifted slightly in her seat. Her brows furrowed, and the corner of her lips tightened. She didn't want to be rude or seem impatient, but the way her father was speaking in circles, it only built more tension in her chest.She cleared her throat gently, lowering her gaze briefly before raising it again to meet her father’s eyes. Then she spoke, her voice calm yet firm laced with the kind of controlled frustration that only someone close to royalty could express without crossing the line.“Father,” Naomi began respectfully, “please forgive me, but I... I don’t understand what you're trying to say.”Immediately Sophia turned to glance at her sister, sensing the subtle irritation building beneath Naomi's collected tone.Then Naomi continued, “You said something about a declaration, and something about someone making a choice... But I don’t remember hearing anything like that before now. What other rules or decisions

    At that moment Naomi exhaled lightly, fixing herself, then turned and walked out of the room. Her royal sandals echoed softly against the polished floors of the east wing as she made her way to the King’s council room. The guards stationed along the hallway bowed respectfully as she passed, but she gave them only a small nod in return, her mind too occupied to notice much else.Upon reaching the tall, intricately carved double doors, the guards opened them promptly. Naomi stepped in and immediately noticed that her younger sister, Princess Sophia, was already seated at the long wooden table. Sitting to the far left was Edda her father's long-time advisor and one of the most trusted voices in the palace.Naomi kept her posture graceful as always, walking silently to her place. As tradition dictated, she gave her father a slight bow before seating herself across from Sophia. Her eyes met her sister’s briefly. Sophia’s expression was unreadable calm, but guarded.The room fell into a m

    At that moment, Victoria stood tall in front of Princess Naomi, her hands respectfully folded in front of her, her head slightly bowed. Her voice was steady, confident, yet laced with the weight of what she had just accomplished.“My lady,” Victoria began, lifting her gaze to meet Naomi’s piercing eyes, “the message has been delivered exactly as you instructed. Everything has been set in motion, just like you planned.”Princess Naomi’s expression remained unreadable, but there was a glimmer of curiosity behind her cold gaze.At that moment Victoria continued with pride, “Nathaniel Jr. and his family have been fully briefed on the matter. They are no longer in doubt. From the look in their eyes, from the way they responded, I could see it. They are not going to sit back and wait any longer. They want the king’s favor, and they are ready to fight for it. Ruthlessly.”Upon hearing what Victoria just said, Naomi tilted her head slightly, intrigued. Victoria took a breath and went on.“As
