Aurelia sat there stiffly, her back straightening as she stared at Neil.
The man did not move after that and was dead asleep like a log.
Aurelia shoved him several times until she confirmed that everything was just a coincidence the last time—the man
was really soundly asleep.
Hence, she stealthily went closer to try to remove the ring… only for Neil to flip himself to face his back against her!
The hand with the ring was lodged under him!
With wasted effort, Aurelia glared at his back with the impulse to hit someone.
She did not know that her “uncle,” who had his back against her, was wearing a Cheshire grin.
…
Alexander stood nearby the RV, where his attendant persuaded him to go back.
“Your Highness, Mr. Harris has a chauffeur and guards here. He’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry! It’s… going to be
the palace’s curfew soon…”
“Remus, how many years have you been with me?” Alexander asked suddenly.
The attendant named Remus was perplexed. It was not that he could not answer it. He was just curious why
Alexander asked. He had always been serving the prince since he learned how to walk!
He did not dare claim that he was the closest to Alexander in this world, but he was confident that he was one of
the top three.
“Your Highness, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing.” Alexander smiled. “I remember your name wasn’t Remus. I gave you this name. Because you don’t just
run fast, you’re quick with news. You’re always the first to know whether it’s official or gossip!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRemus scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Your Highness, are you calling me a tattler? Is this a compliment or a jab…”
“I just want to consult you.” Alexander turned with a slightly dim gaze. “I have something I’d like to hear from you.”
“Please don’t use the word ‘consult’, Your Highness. Do ask what you wish to know!”
There was a pause before Alexander asked in a low tone, “That year when my uncle took me to Melorian, was he
there to meet someone?”
Remus’ expression changed as soon as he heard that.
Alexander caught the subtle change and squinted. “So you do know more!”
“Your Highness!” Remus said, troubled, “No one’s brought it up after that, so I kept it to myself… If you want to
know, Your Highness, I’ll tell you, but please, you can’t spread the word!”
“I know. Go on!”
“His Majesty… was there to look for someone.”
Alexander frowned. “Who?”
“It’s said that he was looking for a girl,” Remus told him everything he knew. “The girl isn’t old, probably 18-19
years old now, so she was even younger back then!”
“Why was my uncle looking for her?”
“Your Highness, I don’t know this.” Remus chuckled wryly. “But it’s true that His Majesty was looking for a young girl!
It’s said that the girl was with nomads and frequently danced at the square wearing the long dresses of nomads!”
The more Alexander listened to it, the more confused he was, but that was all Remus knew.
Alexander could not figure out why he was so concerned about something he had almost forgotten. Was it because
he had talked about Melorian with Aurelia tonight?
His brows were knitted into a frown. In his impression, his uncle was the king—the pride of the royal family—and
was honest and virtuous. He must not be looking for the girl over an affair!
This meant that there could be another possibility…
Alexander licked his dry lips, his heart suddenly thumping wildly.
…
Zephyr and Cordelia’s wedding was held as scheduled. It coincided with Rowan being conferred as a Count, so the
Irwins celebrated two happy events simultaneously.
The king had gifted a special present—allowing the couple to hold their wedding in the palace. This was an
immense honor and made the other major families in Southeast Aciatic jealous.
Zephyr and Cordelia wore traditional Southeast Aciatic clothing and sat on a decorated pavilion to receive
congratulations and well wishes from everyone.
The palace was exceptionally jolly—people dolled up and looked their best. Whether they were there to genuinely
give their blessings or to curry favor with the Irwins and the Hamertons, they were all wearing happy smiles like it
was New Year’s.
Rowan booked three planes to send the Hamerton friends and family over for the ceremony. It was just that Liam
was old, and it was a risk for him to move around. Henry stayed to care for him, so he could also not come. Janine
was also absent, busy with her venture into the Eropah market.
Zephyr felt apologetic, but Cordelia smiled. “It’s okay! This is the wedding with my family. When we return to
Centrolis, you can give me another wedding, and it’ll be fine with your family there!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“How many times do you want to get married, huh?” Zephyr swiped her nose.
“Even if I get married a hundred times, you’ll always be the groom!”
“Okay!” He smiled indulgently. “I’ll hold a hundred weddings for you and let our son be the flower child each time!”
Cordelia’s eyes turned into crescents as she smiled and leaned on his shoulder.
Farther away, Zuko was carried by the nanny with eyes trained on his parents.
“Happy marriage!”
Cordelia suddenly heard a delighted burst of voices. She turned around and nearly screeched.
Linda walked over arm in arm with Nicholas. Both of them were decked out in jewelry like two walking jewelry
cases, attracting lots of attention.
Josiah smiled kindly while Kelly, next to him, was no longer in a wheelchair!
Trinity had a camera in hand, focused on capturing the occasion, with Fredric always trying to be in the photos and
being glared at.
“Our Cordelia’s the main star today! Move to the side!”
Fredric huffed in a grievance. “So, your true love’s really her!”
“Fredric, why don’t you get cats like me?” Robert chuckled. “Get a whole house full of cats, and you won’t have time
to consider who’s whose true love when you have to serve these masters!”
“F*ck you!”
“Hahaha…”
Cordelia picked up her skirt to run to them while Zephyr followed closely, afraid she would fall.
“Hey, hold on!” A sweet smile suddenly popped up in front of them. “May the bride and groom please answer my
question? How’s little Zuko’s top student study plan going?”
“Has he memorized the vocab?”
“Does he listen to classical music?”
“How much literature does he know now?”
Cordelia and Zephyr’s stomachs hurt from laughing so much before they yelled, “Zennie, Seth! Enough!”
