Chapter 13: Small World
Raine could only sigh in frustration as she whispered, "Just make sure he’ll wake up and come back to us soon."
"Don’t worry, Princess. We are doing our best to bring him back. The King will wake up," Doctor Janus replied.
Raine stayed for a few moments, staring at her father while deep in thought. Everyone addressed him as the King... but was it really the truth?
She inwardly sighed as she recalled the story of how her father became King. It was a proud tale unheard of by many and only known by those trusted by her father. Her father took over the throne by force from its rightful owner; the Yue Family’s descendants, the true bloodline to lead the Moon Clan for generations. Her father Marcus and his brother Yun were not originally from the Yue Family, and his father also killed the people who knew about this secret. Uncle Arthur’s father, the deceased King Philip, adopted Marcus and Yun when they were babies. The sons of a blood-brother who sacrificed himself to save King Philip’s life.
King Philip adopted them out of gratitude, but Raine was sure that King Philip regretted the good gesture in his grave once he realized what her father and uncle accomplished.
Look at what Raine’s father did to the real descendants of the Yue Family!
Raine knew the truth. Nathan was the rightful heir to the throne; the Lollipop Boy she saved back then. A part of her could feel that Nathan was already making his move to reclaim his position.
She was unsure to the extent of help she could offer Nathan. How long would Raine protect Nathan from her father once he woke up?
’What are you planning to do, lollipop boy?’ Raine thought. ’Eradicate all the people responsible for your family and followers’ death?’
