Chapter 206
At that moment, upon hearing what Mr. Brown had just revealed, Mr. Nathaniel stood up so quickly that the ornate wooden chair beneath him groaned and scraped against the polished floor. His expression, once composed, was now fierce, almost thunderous. He ran a hand through his hair, clearly agitated, then pointed toward the floor as if trying to hold back the anger bubbling inside him.“I knew it!” he snapped. “I knew we weren’t the only ones she approached. How could we be so foolish to think otherwise?”He turned slightly, pacing. “We’re here, sitting with folded arms, taking things slowly like we’ve got all the time in the world, when another family no, not just any family, the Bushmans are out there moving, laying their groundwork, probably already in talks with the boy!”He paused, his chest rising and falling with frustration. “And what are we doing? Nothing! Nothing but hoping that time will wait for us. This is a golden opportunity one that only comes once and we’re just going

At that moment, upon hearing what Nathaniel Jr. had just said, both Mr. Nathaniel and his wife turned slowly to look at each other. Their expressions remained cold, unreadable at first. But something passed between them a silent exchange. They had both seen it. The determination in their son’s eyes. The desperation in his voice. The weight in his bow.He wasn’t just saying it this time. He wasn’t making excuses.There was something different in his posture, in the way his fists remained clenched even as his head remained bowed low. This wasn’t the usual Nathaniel Jr. they knew the one who would try, fail, and cover it with arrogance. No. This time… he was pleading. But not out of weakness.It was because he wanted to prove something.And that alone was worth noticing.Mrs. Nathaniel narrowed her eyes and tilted her head just slightly, her lips pressed together in thought. Mr. Nathaniel crossed his arms, staring down at his son with a tightened jaw.They didn’t speak immediately, becau

Nathaniel Jr. stood in front of his father like a statue carved out of shame, his head bowed low, his lips sealed, and his eyes fixed on the ground. His fingers were clenched tightly behind his back, his breathing shallow, and he could feel the cold weight of failure pressing heavily on his shoulders. He couldn’t speak there was nothing to say. Because he knew, deep down, that he had failed.Everything was falling apart. Nothing was going the way it should have gone.For the past few days, he had been hunting for that good-for-nothing Tyler the boy everyone was talking about, the same boy who now had the ridiculous privilege of picking between two royal princesses. Nathaniel Jr. had searched in circles, calling in favors, paying people, making threats but no trace of him. Tyler had vanished, as if protected by some invisible force, and now... time was up.Tomorrow was the day. The royal selection. The day Tyler would stand before the King and make his choice. And Nathaniel Jr. who had

At that moment, upon hearing what his mother just said, Tyler let out a soft sigh and leaned slightly back in his seat. He rubbed the back of his neck and gave a small, unsure smile. His eyes didn’t meet hers at first not because he was hiding something, but because the weight of everything on his mind wasn’t something he could explain in just one sentence.“Well…” he began gently, “I don’t really know about that yet.”Immediately his mother’s curious eyes stayed on him, listening carefully.“I haven’t made any decision,” he added. “Like… I’ve truly not made any decision at all.”At that moment he paused a bit, choosing his words carefully for to make his mother worry.“And honestly,” he said, glancing at her, “I don’t even know if I’m going to pick from either of them. I mean, I don’t want to be king. That’s not something I ever wished for.”He shook his head slowly, his voice steady but sincere. “I don’t know if the king was even serious about it. You know, maybe when I get there to

Without wasting any more time, he skewed his face bitterly, the lines of frustration tightening around his eyes. His jaw locked, and he turned away, fast, refusing to let anyone see the storm burning behind his eyes. It was too much. Too humiliating. Too unreal. He didn’t want to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing his pride bleed through his expression. And just like that, his feet moved stiffly, angrily, as he walked away from the scene, his soaked footsteps fading into the distance.At that moment, Tyler and his mother stepped back inside their establishment.The warmth that greeted them was nothing compared to the warmth glowing from Tyler’s mother’s face. She was practically buzzing with joy, her voice light and full of excitement as she began to speak words tumbling out of her as if she couldn’t hold them in any longer.“Tyler! Did you see what just happened out there?” she said, still drying her arms with a small cloth. “The way Mr. David looked at me, the way he smiled. And

At that moment, upon hearing what Princess Sophia had just said, Tyler couldn’t help but lower his head slightly and nod. Her words had landed in the quiet part of his chest the part that had been twisting all evening with doubt, pressure, and the weight of choices.She didn’t demand. She didn’t push. She simply understood.But still, deep inside, Tyler also known deep down in his heart wasn't planning to pick any of them. He never was. His heart wasn’t in it. Not for Princess Naomi. Not for the King’s other daughter either. He had nothing against either of them, but he knew the truth: his future wasn’t tied to anyone’s crown.But at the same time, he didn’t want to offend the King. A wrong move could cause more damage than anyone could imagine. That’s why tomorrow mattered. If he could strike a deal… a clean, respectful agreement to step away without offending anyone, then that would be the best thing to do. That would be his perfect win.With his thoughts still circling, Tyler lifte
