Chapter 122: The Regret of The Past
He didn’t even know who his mate would be, and yet, Edmund had done everything he could to ensure her well-being.
"I never expected you would be the one," he said quietly. "When the Moon Goddess gave me your name, I planned to take things slow. That’s why I sent a letter to your father. But then ..."
He gritted his teeth, clearly recalling something unpleasant. "... the Emperor got involved."
Because of the Emperor, their relationship had started in the worst way.
