Chapter 122: A Perished Soulmate
As waves of memories crashed into his mind, Kyren was transported back to the days of mourning following the previous king’s demise. The echoes of the ministers’ words troubled and agitated him, their demands ringing incessantly in his ears.
"Your Highness, you must ascend to the throne immediately!"
"You are responsible for marrying and producing an heir for the throne as the Crown Prince!"
"Lady James is the perfect candidate for you. Take her as your wife. She’s worthy of your companionship and would make a good queen!"
"Or choose a noble lady, Your Highness! There are plenty of worthy maidens interested in you!"
Their words echoed, taunting him. But it wasn’t as simple as they made it seem.
The women presented to him held no allure, no spark of connection. No matter how beautiful or influential they were or how shamelessly they offered themselves, Kyren felt nothing but emptiness.
A profound void prevented him from approaching any of them, a blockage that hindered his heart from opening. Kyren understood the reason behind his lack of interest, the truth that lay hidden beneath the surface.
It was the result of a spell, an enchantment cast upon him.
The realisation weighed on him heavily, and a mix of frustration and resignation swirled within him. He had been ensnared by forces beyond his control, and his ability to form genuine connections was controlled by an unseen power.
A profound sense of confusion enveloped him as he grappled with his own emotional void.
