Chapter 226: Throwing Accusations
Arthur amidst the chaos caused by the greedy Lords, was checking his phone. The importance of the Council meeting was already leaked and there were already reporters waiting outside to get any scoop possible.
The Northern Star board members have been changed, removing all the nobles. Lady Sophia is attending the Council meeting and so the announcement about the breaking of engagement can be expected. And there were even talks about the Duke of Oakley’s title be removed.some said that this would be the meeting to decide the fate of Talia since Lord Lockhart is attending. So much speculations were going on.
People speculating if Jerome’s title will be removed were not pleased at all. Most were opposed to it even if it was reported that he joined Rosandale betraying Esteria. They all loved Jerome Brunton.
At that time, as Arthur expected there were already pictures released of Talia’s heart-melting reunion with her grandfather. But the pictures released by the Rosandale press was not the one trending. It was another candid picture released by some unknown user.
[This is what the Esterian High Council stopped from happening. How terrible, ain’t it? We all should be thanking them, right? *Eye roll*Cruel people!! *fuming*fuming*!
Look how adorable they are! *heart* *kisses**heart*. I cried watching them. And now I miss my grandfather. I love you so much pop-pop!!! *heart**heart**heart *
I’m really happy for our Princess and I’m happy that our great King knows the value of family. F*ck Esteria! #PrincessRoyal #grandpalove #familiallove #loveall #lovenothate ]
Below was a picture of Talia on her knees, hugging her grandfather on a wheelchair, and crying. Her hair was a little messy as it was being petted by her grandfather and only a little part of her reddened eyes and nose were visible. Jerome Brunton’s eyes were closed and a drop of tear had rolled down his pale cheek as he embraced her resting his chin on her head.
That picture and the post went was gaining a lot of momentum within half and hour of getting posted. Most of the comments were bashing the Esterian nobles for making an old man going through this when he is sick and some admirers of Talia were admiring how lovely and down to earth their Princess is. They offered her hugs and well wishes for her Grandpa.
As it was happening in Rosandale, it got reposted in Esteria by a veteran news show host who usually is against Talia. He added his thoughts to the original post.
[Leaving everything else aside, we all can agree that the Duke of Oakley doesn’t deserve this treatment from our Council. He just wanted to meet his granddaughter... After everything he did for Esteria, he truly doesn’t deserve this.]
