Chapter 419: Targets
"Is this me here in the photo?" I asked, although I had pretty much guessed the answer.
"Yes, that is you, and those two are your parents," the prince confirmed my suspicion.
"Why are there photos of my family in here?" I asked as I started to panic inside.
"This is a very old book that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family," Prince Leonard explained.
Countless questions rushed into my mind as I wondered how a book that was passed down in his family could possibly have photos of my family. Clearly, those photos were from very long ago, at the time when I was just a young girl.
"Why are there photos of my family in this book? What does my family have to do with anything?" I asked, staring intently at the prince’s face. I knew that this was the reason why Prince Leonard decided to show me the book. Whatever the answer was, it must be quite complex and controversial because the prince had a very conflicted look on his face.
"Please tell me. I really need to know about this," I pleaded passionately, fearing that the prince might change his mind and withhold the truth from me. I couldn’t help but wonder just how long the prince had known about this.
"I’ve told you before that producing an ultimate Alpha to continue the royal bloodline has always been a priority in my family.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t quite understand," I said softly, as my eyes continued to stare at the content printed on the pages of the book. To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t understand, but I found it difficult to accept the conclusion that I had arrived at.
