Martin looked into Alexander’s eyes. He did not know what to say at the moment.
Alexander’s eyes sparkled with clarity as if a paradise dwelled within them. He was resolute in his belief that his
judgment was correct. Martin was certain that choosing Alexander to rule the country was the wisest decision.
However, he sighed helplessly. “To be honest, Alexander, I don’t care about that.”
Alexander’s eyes lit up.
“I’m old but not stubborn.” Martin looked at him. “There are many kinds of human love. Is the one that caters to
the world the only normal one?”
“Uncle…”
“You’ve never hurt anyone. Even though you like Zephyr, you didn’t ruin his family. As long as one is kind and pure,
is their sexual orientation important? I believe that you’re a good kid, as well as a good future king. However, that’s

Alexander’s smile was adorned with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
Alexander bowed respectfully, placing his right hand on his chest as he half-knelt before Martin. He expressed his
deep appreciation to the king with utmost formality, acknowledging his guidance and understanding. He vowed to
repay Martin’s kindness in the most heartfelt manner.
Alexander had always been suffering because he could not make his father happy when he was younger.
However, ever since Martin took him under his wing, only then did he understand that not everyone was fit to be
parents. Some people’s love could really surpass their parents’.
“Get up, Alexander!”
Alexander lifted his eyes to look at Martin and said in all seriousness, “Uncle, thank you.”
Martin choked and held his hands.
Martin did not blame Alexander. Ever since the news broke out, all he had been thinking about was how to protect
him.
He could only blame himself now. If he had cared more for Alexander and saved him from his father earlier,
perhaps he would be a different man.
Martin asked him worriedly, “Alexander, the situation is chaotic on the Internet, and the cabinet is discussing this
too. They’ll point their fingers at you next. What are you going to do?”
“Don’t worry, uncle. I know what to do.”
Alexander’s smile was warm and firm. He had the power that made people trust him instinctively.
Three days later…
Alexander showed up at a press conference taking place at the palace. Almost all the main media outlets were
there. It was a grand occasion, and it was being broadcast live.

Cordelia and Zephyr were among them, watching under the stage quietly. They locked their fingers and smiled,
looking at each other. They were confident with Alexander.
Neil was next to them, but he was frowning. He felt disdain for this couple which was always showing off.
“What’s so great about that?” he mumbled, playing with the ring on his finger. “Pfft, I have one too!”
Neil rolled his eyes at them in disdain while playing with his ring faster. However, there was an opening on it, and he
accidentally cut his finger with the ring.
The ring Aurelia had gotten from the street was rough, while the opening was extra sharp. Neil could not help but
groan from the pain.
Zephyr laughed at him. “Were you cut by jealousy?”
Neil glared at him but calmed down and sat quietly.
“Stop it, you guys…” Cordelia whispered, “Look over there!”
