Chapter 90: Your younger little sister
"What happened between Prince Casaio and Zilia?" Amelie asked again, sitting at the edge of the bed, her curiosity evident.
Gabriel leaned back slightly before answering, "Zilia turned out to be a spy."
"What?" Amelie gasped in disbelief, her eyes blinking rapidly as she tried to process the revelation. "How could she...?"
"The biggest red flag in their relationship was her persistent refusal to marry," Gabriel explained calmly. "I understand that not everyone is ready immediately, but Zilia kept postponing it for ten long years, always giving the same excuse — that she wanted to focus on her career. It wasn’t like Casaio would have stopped her from doing her business. Casaio sensed something was wrong deep down, but he loved her so much that he ignored all the warning signs."
As Gabriel spoke, Amelie finally understood why Casaio had looked so devastated the night before.
"For whom was she spying? And... what will happen to her now?" Amelie asked softly, still struggling to believe that the sweet woman she had met at the gala had betrayed them.
"The man we caught with her was from the Blood Dominion Pack," Gabriel revealed. "It turns out Zilia was working for its Alpha. As for the next steps, Casaio insisted on leading the investigation himself. He’ll begin once our wedding is over."
"Dad will decide her punishment, not my brother. A spy typically faces a death sentence, but I know Casaio won’t allow that," Gabriel explained.
"Maybe Zilia didn’t want to betray Prince Casaio. That’s why, for ten years, she kept postponing their marriage without ever doing anything to harm him," Amelie suggested thoughtfully.
