Chapter 231
At that moment, the King turned his steady gaze toward Princess Sophia and, with a firm but gentle tone, instructed her to escort Tyler out. There was a certain weight in his words, a sign of both respect and trust, as though he wanted her to be the one to lead Tyler away from the heavy eyes of the court. Princess Sophia, though still overwhelmed by everything that had just happened, bowed her head gracefully and accepted the order.Without wasting another moment, she stepped to Tyler’s side. Together, they walked slowly out of the King’s presence, their footsteps echoing faintly across the grand hall. But Sophia, keeping her composure, guided Tyler forward until they finally passed through the tall golden doors and into the quiet of the palace corridor.Once outside, the silence between them stretched for a while. Sophia’s heart was beating heavily in her chest, not because of fear but because of the truth she had been carrying for so long a truth she never thought she would one day

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
Chapter 229
At first, Princess Sophia didn’t utter a single word. Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out. She was frozen not out of fear, but out of sheer disbelief. Her eyes blinked slowly as if trying to process the reality that had just unfolded in front of everyone in the grand hall.Tyler had picked her? It didn’t make sense. Not to her. Not to anyone.All eyes were now fixed on her, some wide with curiosity, others with envy, and a few especially Naomi’s with silent rage. But Sophia? She just stood there, her fingers gently locking themselves together in front of her, trying to calm the racing thoughts in her mind.She hadn’t prepared for this. Not in the slightest.Not once did she think her name would be called not when her sister, Princess Naomi, had made it so obvious that she was the crown jewel everyone sought. Naomi was bold, politically aware, strong, and aggressive in her pursuit of the throne. Sophia had always been the one in the background quiet, observant, and content
Chapter 228
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
Chapter 227
At that moment, upon hearing what her father just said, Princess Naomi could hardly believe her ears. Her eyes slowly shifted toward Tyler, and without realizing it, her upper lip curled slightly. A deep, unsettling disgust began to spread across her face like wildfire. She didn’t bother hiding it. Her entire expression darkened with disappointment and disbelief. She clenched her fists by her sides, her perfectly polished nails pressing into her palms.How could her father still be this blind? After everything after all the conversations, the warnings, the signs he was still pushing Tyler forward like some golden boy meant to carry the future of the kingdom. It was maddening.But Naomi… she wasn’t scared anymore. Not even a little.Because she had already made her move. Quietly, strategically. She had spoken with Nathaniel Jr., and their conversation had left her impressed and more confident than ever. The way he talked, the calm strength in his words, the way he didn’t sugarcoat any
Chapter 226
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
