Chapter 695: A Suitable Candidate
Evana sighed, her eyes lingering on the sight of her little sister playing with Arabelle, Caius and the twin babies. The carefree laughter and joyful shrieks that filled the air were a stark reminder of the innocence that should define Dora’s world. This—this was the life a child deserved, filled with happiness and play, not the burden of adult decisions. Yet, Dora was willing to sacrifice everything, this was a thought that filled her with complicated emotions.
"Why the deep frown?" Nora’s voice broke through her thoughts, drawing her back to the present. "You’ve been kind of lost all day. Did something happen between you and Lucy?"
Evaba looked up at Nora and grimaced. She needed the advice though she felt ashamed to ask for it. "I... I don’t even know where to start."
"From the starting would be good." Nora pointed out, making Evana smile a bit as she began," I’ve been asked to step down from the throne."
Nora raised her eyebrows then," Really? Why? Weren’t they all rallying in your favour until recently."
Evana smiled," Uh huh. That was until they realized that I would not be so easy to handle as they imagined."
"So basically, they are scared for their as*es and have started to view you as the common enemy?"
Evana nodded," Yep. You got it. You know about the recent briddge tragedy right? They wanted me to cover up the investigation results."
Nora raised her eyebrows," Did they? But weren’t the records made public recently?"
"Uh huh. Someone from my office leaked them. I even punished them by demoting the and sending them to work outside the country in one of our embassy."
Nora chuckled at that. "Ohhh! That must have hurt them."
