Victoria felt guilty, so she looked away.
However, she soon looked back and stared straight at Alexander.
Ha, what a joke! She was a princess, so why should she be guilty? She had the almighty power. Must she accept the
judgment for fighting Cordelia, a commoner?
Alexander shut his eyes and let out a long sigh.
‘She is hopeless!’
Their character had been different since they were young. His sister loved to show off, while he kept a low profile.
However, every time she made a mistake, he would also be dragged into it. After all, they were family. Outsiders
would not care who was the one who really made the mistake. They would blame everything on royalties.
Alexander looked at her and asked again, “Sister, do you dare to swear?”
Victoria was mad from the humiliation.
“Who do you think you are? Why must I swear to you?”
“Ha, so you don’t dare?”
She pursed her lips and froze where she was.
Southeast Aciatic was a religious country. Swearing was a holy and grand thing. The locals believed they would fall
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinto an abyss if they went against their oaths.
Even the royals did not dare to mess with that.
Therefore, Victoria dared not swear.
Alexander glanced at her. He was calm as he walked to pick up the shards of glass on the ground.
The thing that made him different from the other royals was that he did not like to give orders. He believed in
equality and showing love.
Victoria was disdainful of that. She showed an expression of disgust and annoyance.
Alexander said calmly while cleaning, “Sister, to be honest, you shouldn’t plot against Cordelia. It’s her freedom to
reveal what’s up with Neil. You have no right to interfere.”
“You…” She glared fiercely at him.
She hated her brother at the moment. Not only could he see through her, but he would always side with outsiders
and criticize her since they were young.
Moreover, he would always look carefree. Among the royals with desire written all over their faces, he seemed to
be the odd one out.
“General Harris has no grudge against us, while Mrs. Irwin has always been respectful of us.” He continued. “If you
really hurt Cordelia today, do you think the Harrises and Irwins will let us go?”
“Ha, let us go?” Victoria squinted and revealed a smirk of disdain. “Would they dare to say anything even if I hurt
her? Even if they’re not scared of me, won’t they be scared of our uncle?”
“Sister, are you trying to ruin his reputation as well?”
Victoria’s expression changed, and her lips quivered.
Alexander forced a smile, thinking she was foolish.
“Don’t you understand, sister? The royals are nothing to this country,” he said. “We’re not superior but just a label
to this country. We must show ourselves when the country needs us.
“The people give us our status, and we are protected by General Harris and fed by the taxes from major families
like the Irwins! To put it frankly, I think Cordelia has a higher status! If the Harrises and Irwins were to come
together, do you think you would inherit the throne? I’m afraid they could squash the entire royal family!”
“Alexander!” Victoria’s face flushed. “Are you done?”
“Sister, I’m doing this for your own good.” He let out a long sigh. “You should really control your temper… That is if
you still want to take over the throne!”
Everything he said was affecting Victoria.
Victoria glanced at Alexander but did not say more as he was also an heir.
Although her brother did not care for anything, it was his carefree character that the king loved.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe king had always been alone and cared about his privacy. He had a small greenhouse that was a past-time
activity exclusive to him. He had never shown that to outsiders. Even his wife did not have the honor of sharing that
with him.
However, he suddenly announced last month that Alexander could visit the greenhouse as he wished, and he did
not have to report that to anyone else.
The decision had caused a stir among the royals. Everyone was speculating that he might be the next king.
Victoria was pissed but could not show that.
And now, her brother was teaching her a lesson as if he was high and mighty…
Victoria suppressed her boiling rage and forced a smile. “Okay, I got it! We’re the only siblings in the palace. Who
else would I trust if not you?”
His eyes moved, and he looked down.
“I hope that you’ll do what you say.”
“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?” She got out and walked out. “It’s late. Rest soon!”
“Sister…”
“You’ve got more to say?”
