    Chapter Index

    Luke had the duty of escort and was well aware of the palace’s environmental structure and security distribution.He effortlessly bypassed the eyes and ears and slipped into my bedroom.Like children after a successful prank, we rejoiced in this private tryst.I threw myself on him, kept kissing him, and bullied him, and he became my most submissive servant, doing whatever I wanted, as if the counterattack against me in the garden never happened.I pestered him all night long, and he obeyed with a smile. Fortunately, he is a warrior, with a strong body and long-lasting energy.If he were an ordinary man, he might really be squeezed to death by me.

    The next days in the palace were actually much better.Elizabeth had confirmed my fall from grace and no longer thought of me.I huddled in my corner, counting the days, and then asked Elizabeth to leave. This time I was not persuaded to stay, and was immediately sent away.

    I returned to Troy Manor after a long absence.After living in the exquisite royal capital residence for two years, I was not used to the spaciousness here, so it took me a while to get used to it.At the same time, I also need some time to think about my future.

    For a long time, there was a voice in my heart.I don’t want to go back to the capital anymore.In the more than ten years since I traveled back in time, I have spent almost all of it in the Royal Capital, and I haven’t left many good memories.I once insisted on staying there because of my guilt towards Leon and Uther, to atone for my sins by abusing myself.But now, I just want to bury those tangled pasts, start over, and live again.

    Although I think so, the reality is often much more complicated.If I stay in this Troy manor that means so much to Uther, I will still be inseparable from them.And Luke has the duty of a knight, so he must be in the royal capital and by the king’s side.It is too difficult for me to cut off the entanglement with the royal family. What’s more, without Uther’s protection, I would not be able to survive in this cruel era.

    I kept thinking about these questions in Troy Manor and couldn’t decide.Luke had visited me as often as he could, but he had a knightly duty and couldn’t help himself.In the past, spending time with him day and night would satisfy my lust, but now I spend less time with him and more time away from him. I am half hungry all day long, and my heart is scratching and scratching like a cat in spring.This makes it even harder for me to think. The days are passing by, and I just hope that Luke will come soon.

    It’s midsummer in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter.One night, after taking a bath, I was sitting in the bedroom wearing only a light nightgown. Suddenly I heard a servant come to report: “Lord Luke is here.”

    I’m a little confused.He just left yesterday morning, and he knew that my peak period had passed, so he wouldn’t come back so soon, let alone it was already so late.I was just about to ask the servant to send a message to invite him, but he was already following me, pushing open the door and entering.

    Although we are very close, he always insists on observing etiquette. Now he broke into my bedroom regardless of etiquette, which made me feel uncertain and nervous.

    When Luke saw me, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Sir, Letty is back.”

    I was shocked, and suddenly had a very bad premonition, and asked in a trembling voice: “Where is she…?”

    “She is in the royal capital. I’m here to take you back.” Luke paused again: “It’s the king’s order.”

    Uther wants me to return to the royal capital?I was even more scared and asked: “Why?”

    After a few seconds, Luke considered his words and softened his voice: “Lady has brought His Royal Highness back.”

    The implication of he was so ominous that my heart almost stopped and I stood up suddenly, with no blood on my face.Luke hurriedly said: “His Royal Highness is still alive, but in a very bad condition…”

    I no longer had to worry about what he was talking about. I was so confused that I wished I could take wings and fly back to the capital. I murmured incoherently: “Prepare the car, hurry up, I want to go back… No, Luke, Luke!” I suddenly rushed towards him and grabbed his arm: “Take me back on horseback! Let’s go now!”

    Luke supported me and comforted me softly: “You can’t bear to ride a horse. The car is already being prepared and we will set off soon. Don’t worry, we can make it in time.”

    Now I am totally helpless, I have no idea, I am completely at the mercy of him.He took a cloak and put it on me, took me out to the car, and rushed to the capital overnight.I was scared and panicked while sitting in the car, and it felt like one minute seemed as long as a year.Luke looked on and held my hand.

    “Brother…His Royal Highness, how is he now?”

    “I’m sorry, my lord, I didn’t know.” he replied softly.

    “How could this happen…who did it?”

    “I’m sorry, my lord.”

    I tried to compose myself.There was little information at this time, and Luke was in the palace and could not get much news.Even if he knows something, he can’t say it to disturb my mood until he is 100% sure.

    I took a deep breath to calm down for a moment, and then asked: “Where are His Majesty the King and Lady Elizabeth?”

    “His Majesty secretly returned to the royal capital yesterday. Ms. Elizabeth is still at the palace and is not accompanying her.”

    I sensed more information revealed in this answer and stopped asking.The prince’s life was in danger, and Uther’s sudden return to the capital was a state secret.In fact, I shouldn’t know any of this.Uther is showing me mercy by asking me to go back and see Leon.I knew it in my heart, and I couldn’t bear the pain, and tears finally came out.

    It takes a day’s drive from the palace to the royal palace, so we hurried back to the royal capital castle before dawn.I have been thinking about leaving this place forever for the past few months, but when I stepped into the palace again, I realized that I was so familiar with this place.This is the place where Leon and I grew up together. For eight years, we only had each other and depended on each other.Luke had a different status and couldn’t accompany me in, and I didn’t need anyone else to guide me. I picked up my dress and ran as fast as I could to Leon’s room.

    When I finally broke into Leon’s bedroom and saw him lying motionless on the bed, I couldn’t move for an instant and burst into tears.

    One year.Now he was lying there, his cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, his hair and beard were untrimmed, long and messy, and he was as thin and messy as a tramp.He was unconscious. It took me a long time to feel that my legs had strength. I walked to the bed and looked down at He through blurred tearful eyes.

    He’s body was naked, with thin bones protruding, his chest and abdomen were wrapped in bandages, and blood stains were faintly visible.There were a lot of scars on the areas not covered by bandages. New injuries were piled on top of old ones. Judging from the healing situation, they had not been properly treated.It looks like he has been fighting and getting injured all year long.He was raised by me, and I gave him the best. I thought about him all the time, but now I see him in such miserable condition. My heart aches. I want to hold him tightly, but I don’t dare to touch him for fear of touching the wound. I can only stand aside at a loss and burst into tears.

    Suddenly someone called me at the door: “Sir.”

    It’s Letty.She came over silently and supported me.

    “The doctor has seen it. As long as His Highness the Prince can wake up, he will be fine.” She comforted me gently: “Your Highness is very strong. He will be fine. Sir, don’t cry.”
