Chapter 127 The Twins And Zion?
Unbeknownst to them, the twins’ Royal Guards had overheard the exchange and immediately reprimanded them through the mindlink. Gossiping so carelessly right outside the Princess’ Palace was reckless—did they want to broadcast to the entire world that the princess had already returned? If someone with ill intentions caught wind of it, the consequences could be disastrous.
Their presence in the palace was supposed to be a closely guarded secret. Such loose tongues could undo everything they had worked to protect. The two palace guards were nearly brought to tears by the fierce mental scolding and were promptly reassigned to a different post. After all, guards who couldn’t keep their mouths shut had no place guarding the Princess’ Palace.
Now, Addison knew that Zion had come to the palace. And to think he’d even brought Claire with him.
She let out a bitter snort as she turned and kept walking. She had always known that eventually, she would see Zion again. Running from him forever wasn’t realistic. But why should she? This was her family’s domain. She belonged here. Who had ever heard of a ruler running from her ex?
No, she wouldn’t cower. She would simply ensure that their worlds stayed separate. He wouldn’t have the chance to hurt her anymore. Steeling herself with that thought, Addison gave a small, firm nod.
But now that she knew he was in the capital—and likely attending her father’s upcoming banquet—she needed to prepare.
Then a chilling thought hit her.
’The twins.’
If it were just her, she could manage. She could endure. But Zion was their biological father. If he saw them—if he caught even a glimpse—he’d know. That undeniable bond between a father and his pups... he’d feel it instantly. What then?
