Albert responded with a quick acknowledgment and left promptly. As the Executioner, he had refrained from significant bloodshed since the era of peace in West Lucozia. However, Ambrose’s recent actions compelled him to step back into the role. Ambrose’s foolishness harmed himself and dragged the entire Linden family into a perilous situation. “Reuben offers a […]
In this pivotal moment, Ambrose had utterly forsaken all rationality, succumbing to a reckless frenzy. He staunchly believed that his tireless efforts had been instrumental in Rufus’s effective governance of West Lucozia. In Ambrose’s perspective, reveling in the privileges of power and authority was a well-deserved entitlement. Why hold such a position if he couldn’t
Reuben and Ambrose descended into a somber silence. Their heads were bowed, burdened by the weight of guilt. Tears traced down their cheeks. Along their journey, they succumbed to the temptation of wealth, pleasure, and the heady allure of power. While manipulating forces and wielding authority, they lost touch with the ideals that once guided
The phrase “public execution” struck Ambrose like a lightning bolt, leaving him frozen in his tracks. At that moment, the severity of the situation fully sank in. For ordinary offenses, it was either a pay cut or the worst would be a demotion. But, it had escalated to the point of facing execution. What on earth
As Ambrose entered the grand hall, the unfolding scene left him utterly stunned. Rufus, the Prince of West Lucozia, stood imposingly with hands behind his back, an air of displeasure evident on his face. The princess consort, who stood by his side, wore a stern expression. Albert, the Executioner, maintained a facade of respect, yet
As Rufus unleashed his sudden burst of anger, Reuben felt a surge of fear, his face drained of color. In his experience, the prince seldom displayed joy, making his furious outburst all the more unexpected. After all, Russo had only been involved with an ordinary woman. Surely, it didn’t warrant such fury? “Your Highness, it’s my
Rufus’s resolute warning cleaved through the air. “I’m well aware of your ties with Ambrose, but today’s events won’t find an effortless path to absolution.” Standing unwaveringly beside Rufus, Eloise spoke with resolute conviction, ” When both the powerful and the humble defy the law, consequences must be confronted. “The Vern and Linden families have
At the crack of dawn, within the grandeur of West Lucozia Castle’s central hall, Rufus draped himself in a robe adorned with the sinuous coils of a serpent. The stoic captain of the royal guard was seated at the epicenter with his left guarded by Jaxon. And on his right stood Albert, a figure more
“Sir, it’s Mr. Aster!” The butler conveyed the report through the closed door. “Aster?” Ambrose’s brow furrowed. ” What trouble has that boy stirred up now?” Among his sons, Aster posed the greatest challenge when it came to keeping him in line. “It’s not another trouble. Mr. Aster has been assaulted!” the butler hastily clarified.
Chapter 100 Simone Actually Did Come Forward Reuben observed Titus‘ confidence and determination to regain control of the situation. After a moment of thought, he refrained from saying what he had originally intended. He had wanted to suggest that Simone might have some tricks up her sleeve, but they were unable to determine what those tricks were. It was highly likely that she had only possessed the physiognomy tricks that Titus had predicted. The crucial point was that without Titus‘ prediction, they wouldn’t have been able to guess what it was. Now that they were committed to this course of action, saying anything wouldn’t make a difference. “Alright, I’ll wait and see, Reuben said as he prepared to observe this battle closely. Just as they were conversing, Luca stormed in with an angry expression on his face. Reuben asked, “What’s wrong with you?” Luca angrily replied, “What was Simone doing? She actually signed the person I hate the most to her studio.” During this time, he had contacted Simone a few times, but he didn’t expect her to delete him as a friend and block his number. He called her on someone else’s phone, and when she heard his voice, she hung up without any hesitation. He had already been angry before, but now, Simone’s actions made him even angrier. Reuben wanted to pinch his brow and said, “You’re missing the main point.” Luca’s mind was solely focused on writing songs, and he wasn’t very perceptive about many things. Sure enough, he asked inexplicably, “What’s the main point?” Titus helplessly said, “The main point is not what Simone wants to do, but it’s obvious that she deliberately did this to provoke us.” Why is he so clueless? Luca was stunned for a moment and asked, “Why did she do that?” 4/5 Titus couldn’t help but say. “You’ve definitely been infected with stupidity by Aaron. I think you’re lacking intelligence. Go out and clear your mind.” He didn’t want to explain any further; he was tired. Why is Simone so much smarter than these two idiots, even though they are all siblings? Luca unhappily said, “Titus, it’s you who are lacking intelligence. I’ve been secluded, focusing on writing songs, and I haven’t paid attention to external matters.” Not only does Titus have a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but he is also becoming more and more outrageous. Titus chuckled and said, “Even without the seclusion, you’re still the same.” Aaron was the most clueless, Andrew was the most impulsive, and Luca was the dumbest. He couldn’t help but look at Reuben and sigh. “Reuben, it seems like we’re the only ones that can be relied on in the family from now on.” Having the other three not act as terrible teammates would be considered good: they are simply not reliable at all. Reuben smiled wryly and said, “Alright, that’s enough.” Upon considering Luca and Aaron’s pride, Reuben worried that speaking excessively might affect their brotherly relationship. Luca caught the sarcasm in Titus‘ words as if they were being held back. He sneered and remarked, “If you hadn’t gone to such extremes and constantly deployed sock puppets to attack Simone, she wouldn’t deliberately oppose us and ignore us.” He hummed again. “Titus, don’t speak so confidently. Otherwise, you’ll embarrass yourself later.” Titus was left speechless. Why is everything my fault now? He was already furious, and now, he felt utterly exhausted. “I don’t want to talk to you: there’s no way to communicate.” Luca retorted, “Titus, where are your manners?” Titus offered a cold smile. Luca coldly snorted. I can’t communicate with a scheming person like you.” After saying that, he wore an unpleasant expression and walked away, intentionally slamming the door loudly Titus expression darkened Luca and Aaron are too difficult to deal with Reuben reached out to pat his shoulder. “Just get used to it, try to be more open–minded” He never expected much from them. Titus shrugged. “I can only try to be more open–minded.” Since it has happened, what else can be donet Reuben didn’t return to his office but sat there waiting for what would happen next. He asked, “Do you think Kelly will respond on Facebook? Titus said. “It’s hard to say Kelly dislikes immoral artists the most, so under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t respond.” Now that Kelly had been repeatedly slapped in the face by Simone. Titus couldn’t be too Reuben thought for a moment and said. “I think there’s an 80 to 90 percent chance that he will respond. Titus asked, “How can you be so sure Reuben said, “Because Simone won’t waste her efforts. She must have discussed it with Kelly before posting on Facebook” He had already discovered that Simone was not only intelligent but also had the ability to strategize.
