“Patience, sister. I’ll answer your questions one by one. Firstly, my ‘illness’ was healed quickly.” Alexander smirked
cryptically. “So fast that it’s unexpected!”
“You…”
“Secondly, that girl is not barbaric. Her name’s Aurelia Chilton. We have learned palace etiquette since we were
children. Have the teachers taught you to disrespect others? How’s a qualified ruler to take the throne when she
has no tolerance and can’t show respect as well as self-respect?”
Victoria gritted her teeth with quivering lips.
“Thirdly, I gave Aurelia the invitation. She’s my guest today.” Alexander’s words were authoritative. “If you want to
do anything to her on this occasion, Victoria, you’ll be fighting me…
“Before our uncle completely takes your side, it’s unwise to do so. You’re basically destroying your own future! Is
that not true?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVictoria screamed, “Alexander!”
Alexander’s smile only grew wider as he looked at her quietly.
His gaze was not challenging. Instead, it was telling her, “Come at me. I’m not scared of you!”
Victoria sucked in a cold breath. She was frightened. This Alexander felt foreign to her and sent chills down her
spine.
“Oh, I forgot the last thing.” Alexander smiled. “Our deal?
“That’s not exactly a deal, Victoria.”
“What are you saying?”
“I like Zephyr, or perhaps, the fact I like men isn’t something to be kept a secret.”
Victoria widened her eyes in disbelief.
“I like him, but I didn’t come in between his family,” Alexander reeled his smile in and said seriously, “I like men. I
don’t deny it. My sexual orientation is an issue, but I’ve never done anything abominable. I’ve never harmed a
person or committed any heinous crime!”
It was true that Alexander had never harmed anyone. Quite the opposite, he was born with welfare homes,
charities, and stray animal centers in Southeast Aciatic were built and sponsored anonymously by him.
He had also personally supervised many school building renovation projects, disallowing any recklessness. Thanks
to his suggestion and determination, the cabinet of Southeast Aciatic had passed numerous acts to protect the
rights of women and children.
He spoke for the vulnerable and marginalized wholeheartedly, and everything he had done was not to gain support
but out of sincerity…
Alexander took a deep breath and said, looking into Victoria’s eyes, “If society can’t tolerate me, I have nothing to
say. But your biggest obstacle has never been me, Victoria. It’s you, yourself! You’ve never thought about what to
do to let your people live better!
“How can you wish for people’s sincerity when you aren’t genuine yourself?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What do you mean?” Victoria felt threatened. “You’re not scared of me exposing your secret anymore? You want
to fight for the throne?”
Alexander smiled weakly. “I’ve said so much, but it’s in vain!”
“You…”
As Alexander was leaving, he said coldly when he brushed past her, “Sister, I don’t have to fight for the throne.
Even if I were to fight for it, you aren’t my rival!”
Victoria stared at Alexander’s back until he vanished from her sight. She shook, her hands and feet running cold,
yet she could hear the laughter and giggles from the wedding.
With a scream, she stomped her foot, feeling like she was erupting.
“Your Highness, calm down,” her servant advised her. “His Majesty’s the witness of this wedding. You can’t ruin it…”
“Shut up!” Victoria slapped the servant. “Since when do you get a say about what I do!?”
The servant lowered her head frantically.
“Yes, I shouldn’t be kicking up a fuss…” Victoria took a few deep breaths. “I should be adding joy to this wedding!”
She snickered and looked at the servant beside her. “The one in the palace on the west’s been locked in there for
too long… Hah, let her out for some air!”
