Alexander glared at Neil speechlessly.
Neil was still indulging, being stupefied. He conveniently played with the ring on his finger. He only came to my
senses a long time later when Alexander seemed to have spoken to him.
“Hey, what did you say?”
“Nothing.” Alexander squeezed a smile, “I was just thinking if I should just remove the hereditary knighthood in the
future.”
Neil was confused. “Why?”
“If everything goes as planned, you’ll inherit General Harris’ knighthood.”
“That’s right.” He nodded. “So what?”
Alexander smirked. “I was just thinking that the hereditary knighthood system doesn’t make sense. I can’t be giving
it to a fool, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil widened his eyes and attempted to hit him.
“Hey!”
Alexander dodged him when Neil swung his fist, smiled, and said, “I spent so much effort putting on a show for
you… And this is how you’re treating me!”
“What show?”
Alexander clapped, and someone brought a tray. A pair of diamond rings shone brightly under the light.
“Although I shouldn’t be giving you rings, I really can’t think of anything else.” Alexander smiled. “My uncle left
these for me. He thought I’d wear them with my queen, but I have no queen.”
“Alexander…”
“No need to be shy.” He patted Neil’s shoulder, “My uncle said Aunt Lene should have the throne. If nothing
happened to her, it should belong to Aurelia now.
“So, you and Aurelia deserve these rings!”
Neil was moved upon hearing that. He was at a loss for words as he played with the ring that was getting rusty on
his finger.
“Make it grand when you propose later!” Alexander smirked mischievously. “You must let the entire royal family
know that the military department will treat Her Highness well!”

Cordelia and Zephyr attended the party with Zuko.
The over 1-year-old boy had his attention on the scenery in the garden. He was chasing after butterflies and
accidentally bashed into the violinist. The pretty violinist did not blame him. Instead, she did a curtsy and smiled at
him.
Zuko was expressionless. After managing to stand still, he bowed like a gentleman, making the people around
laugh.
Cordelia went over to pick him up and kissed him in pride.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZephyr, who was standing aside, was instantly jealous and inched his face closer, “Wifey, don’t forget about me.”
His face was serious and strict, and his voice was deep. He did not look like he was flirting at all.
Cordelia was stunned and stared blankly at him.
He pointed at his cheek.
She was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She warned him softly, “Many people are watching. Please behave!”
“No!” Mr. Z glared at her. “Why does our son get a kiss from you but not me? I’m a first-time father too. Why must I
give in to him all the time?”
“You…” This man was ridiculous!
Zuko sucked his chubby finger and stared at his father cutely.
“Dada–”
Zephyr was stunned. Although he was still pretending to be serious, he could no longer hold back his laughter.
Who could resist this babyish voice?
Zuko opened his arms, and Zephyr laughed while opening his arms to carry his son.
Cordelia thought she would see a beautiful image of a father and son next.
Who knew… their son seemed eager to play tambourine with his hands as he slapped Mr. Z’s cheeks!?
Zephyr, who was filled with fatherly love before, was dumbstruck by the shock.
