The next morning, Sofina woke early and got ready for work.Alex was already in the kitchen. Breakfast had been carefully packed into a food box, prepared for her to take to the office. He wiped his hands, walked over, placed the food box against her palm—and then set the car key gently on top of it.“Drive to the office today,” he said calmly. “And from now on. Always.”Sofina hesitated. She looked down at the key, then back at him. “It’s your car. Are you sure I can use it?”“I didn’t buy it for me,” Alex said. “If you’re not driving it, the car loses its meaning.”Sofina paused, then nodded. She took the key, leaned forward, and kissed him softly on the lips. Her eyes lingered on his face, warm and romantic. “Thank you.”Pauline, still eating breakfast, squinted at the car keys in Sofina’s hand.“So let me get this straight,” she said. “You wake up, make breakfast, hand over a car like it’s candy, and act mysterious about it?”Alex nodded calmly. “That’s correct.”Pauline crossed h

When the class reunion finally ended, Renata walked straight up to Alex and Sofina.“So,” she said lightly, “how are we getting back?”“By car, of course,” Sofina replied, confused. “Why?”Renata grinned. “Come on. Your husband has a VÖXEN Seraphine and a VÖXEN sixth generation. You’ll obviously follow him home. So why not let me use the VÖXEN Seraphine?”Sofina glanced at Alex.“No. The Seraphine is out of the question,” Alex said firmly. “She can use the sixth generation, but the Seraphine is a hard no.”Renata let out a resigned sigh. “Fine. The sixth generation, then.”Alex shrugged, completely at ease. “You’re Sofina’s best friend. If she’s okay with it, so am I.”“Then it’s settled,” Sofina said.Renata rushed forward, grabbed Sofina’s face, and kissed her on the lips. What started as a quick peck turned into a deep, lingering kiss.Alex could only scratch his head.Back in Estoria, this would have been unthinkable. Here, among Prussians, it was normal—friends kissing, male or

Belinda froze when the head of Eden Group security shut her down so abruptly.For a split second, her mind went blank.Annoyance surged through her chest, sharp and burning. She wanted to scream. But her friends were still watching—every pair of eyes fixed on her. She clenched her teeth, swallowed her anger, and forced herself to stay upright.She made a call again.This time, she dialed the vice general manager—the man who had always hovered at her father’s side like a shadow.Her father’s right hand.She remembered it clearly.This man was always timid in front of her father—head lowered, spine bent, nodding nonstop, agreeing to everything without a single objection.The call connected.“Hello, Mr. Jacob,” Belinda said at once, her voice tight but confident. “It’s me, Belinda von Yorck. I’m having a problem here—”“I’m sorry,” the man cut in coldly. “I don’t know you.”Belinda stiffened.“What?” Her voice wavered for half a second, then turned sharp. “Mr. Jacob, don’t play games wit
Chapter 519
Ragnar was shaking with rage when he realized Phantom was winning.That single fact crushed everything.It meant he had failed his father’s command. It meant he had disgraced the Eisenwall name.And worse—it meant he would never be chosen as the heir of House Eisenwall.“Fucking hell,” Ragnar snarled. “This is all because of that bastard Tobias.”He stormed out of the private reunion lounge, his steps heavy, his chest burning with humiliation and fury.Outside, several others were pouring out of nearby rooms as well. Faces twisted. Voices raised. Everyone had lost their bets.The air was thick with bitterness, anger, and despair. No one here was in a good mood.Ragnar slammed straight into two men.“Watch where you’re going!” one of them snapped.Ragnar turned slowly.Without a single word, he threw his fist.The punch landed hard.He was the future duke—a direct descendant of Duke Eisenwall’s blood.In a world steeped in noble arrogance, Prussian law granted high nobles the right to

“No—no!” the commentator screamed. His voice cracked over the broadcast. “Please, don’t shoot Alpha! I put my family’s emergency savings on this bet. Please—don’t do it!”Across the stadium, and across Prussia, people were drenched in sweat.“Please don’t shoot Alpha.”“Please let Alpha win.”“Please…”For a single, desperate heartbeat, the entire nation prayed for a miracle.Then Phantom pulled the trigger.The weapon flashed.Alpha’s mobile suit vanished in a violent burst of light and twisted steel.What remained crashed to the arena floor, burning and broken, while the pilot was sealed inside the emergency escape system and violently ejected clear of the wreckage.In that instant, all of Prussia understood the truth—miracles were not coming for them.Phantom released the weapon. It clattered uselessly onto the arena floor.Without haste, without pride, Phantom turned and walked back the way it had entered—slow, calm, untouched by the chaos behind it.It was as if he had stepped in

Minutes before the third round began, the Reunion Class hall vibrated with tension.Tobias stood his ground as Belinda stormed toward him.She slammed a finger into his chest, hard enough to jolt him back.“Tobias, you useless piece of shit,” she screamed, fury cutting every word. “Listen carefully. You will make damn sure your Phantom does not win this round. Do you understand me?”“The Phantom has to win the final round,” Tobias said fearlessly.Her hand cracked across his face.“How dare you disobey me?” Belinda snapped. “I am your fiancée. Don’t forget—I lent you fifty thousand dollars when you were drowning in debt. My father will never forgive this. You will regret crossing me, so shut up and do exactly what I say.”Tobias said nothing.A man like him had learned long ago that arguing only made things worse. He stood there in silence, as he always did, letting others speak over him.Belinda circled him like a queen inspecting a prisoner. “Do you know how powerful my family is?”
