Today’s plan has changed, catching them off guard. "King of Nine Peaks, how did Kyle Ashworth find out I was here? I suspect someone intentionally leaked the information," Kaleb Newman said. Axel Ashworth nodded, "Indeed, it seems that regarding the Crown Princess’s lineage, there is a mysterious force secretly involved." Where does this mysterious force come from? Kyle Ashworth escorted the elderly maid in. Titus Ashworth was in a meeting and would come later. Recently, Titus was overwhelmed with worry. He thought he had resolved matters perfectly by arranging a marriage between Kyle Ashworth and Rosalind Newman, but Rosaline had run away. Just as he was planning to eliminate Kaleb Newman, Kaleb had also fled, angering Titus so much that he returned and kicked Kyle again. The royal family’s reputation has been quite poor lately, with Kaleb and Rosalind Newman being a significant hidden threat. Titus is now fully chasing after the father and daughter. So when Kyle received a tip-off that Kaleb was in that little broken house, he saw it as a chance to redeem himself by immediately capturing him, only to bring back an old woman. Kyle was displeased. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel~fire~net The elderly maid was roughly thrown to the ground. Over the years, Isabelle Willow had treated her like a mother, even after disappearing for over twenty years, she left her with a large sum of money to spoil herself. If it weren’t for a past lover running off with her money recently, she wouldn’t be so destitute now. The old maid looked at the familiar palace with clouded eyes, trembling with fear, muttering, "Let me go, my daughter... will come see me, my daughter is very powerful, and you cannot afford to offend her... when she returns, I’ll live a good life again..." Kyle Ashworth was bored waiting for Titus, and now hearing the old woman repeatedly mention her daughter, as though she was someone notable, he casually asked, "Old woman, who is your daughter?" "If I tell you, you must let me go back. I don’t want to stay here. My daughter is..." Before the old woman could finish, a clear and melodious voice suddenly sounded beside her ear, "Your Highness Kyle, long time no see." Kyle turned his head to see a stunningly beautiful figure appear in his sight — Serena Sterling had arrived! Seeing Serena, Kyle’s eyes brightened; now all his thoughts and emotions were filled with Serena, wishing he could possess this peerless beauty. "Princess of Alani, what brings you here?" Kyle asked. Serena approached, her lips curving into a smile, "Of course, I came because the Lord summoned me to discuss the engagement date with the King of Nine Peaks." "You’re getting engaged to Axel Ashworth?" Serena nodded, "Yes." Kyle wanted to speak, but at that moment the old maid lying on the ground coughed and interrupted, "Listen to me, my daughter is truly remarkable, if you need to investigate then... investigate her, she has nothing to do with me, my daughter is..." "Your Highness Kyle," Serena chimed in at the right moment, cutting off Kyle’s words as she casually glanced at the old maid, asking indifferently, "Who is this old woman? Could it be she has tuberculosis with all that coughing? That can be contagious." When Kyle heard the word "contagious," his expression changed, and he immediately gestured for two guards, "Take this old lady away quickly, and bring her back after father finishes his meeting." "Yes, Your Highness Kyle." The two guards promptly dragged the old maid away. The old maid still wanted to speak, mumbling something, but Kyle had no intention of listening. Now only Serena and Kyle were left. Being next to the beauty, Kyle was immediately eager, approaching Serena and reaching out to embrace her, "Princess of Alani, why are you insistent on marrying Axel Ashworth? In what way am I inferior to Axel?" Serena deftly avoided Kyle’s lecherous hands, stating firmly, "Your Highness Kyle, show some respect, this is the royal palace!" Kyle liked Serena’s unblemished demeanor, wishing he could strip away her exterior to see her most fiery side. Kyle felt the time was right; Serena had come to the palace at this time to be alone with him. There were only the two of them here, and he could do as he pleased. Truly, heaven was helping him, hahaha. "Princess of Alani," Kyle’s eyes shone with lust, as he eagerly moved closer, rubbing his hands in anticipation, "Don’t marry Axel, marry me. I’ve liked you, admired you for a long time, become my queen consort, and I promise to cherish you dearly." Serena retreated, quickly finding herself backed against a wall, looking at Kyle with a clear and cold gaze, "Your Highness Kyle, don’t come any closer. If you come closer, I’ll call for help. The repercussions of estrangement between you and the King of Nine Peaks, and the friendship between Westria and Alani breaking will be severe!" Kyle was not afraid at all; now he only wanted to conquer Serena. Serena had already stirred his desire to conquer. "Hahaha, Princess of Alani, who are you trying to scare? Go ahead and shout, shout as loud as you can. If anyone barges in, I’ll claim you seduced me, and then I’ll have my father arrange our marriage, and you’ll be mine!" With that, Kyle lunged at Serena. Serena had already timed it well, as Kyle approached, she suddenly kneed him swiftly and accurately between the legs. Kyle, unprepared, was hit directly. The piercing pain made him let out a wail, akin to a slaughtered pig, as cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Princess of Alani, you!" Just then, with a "thud," the door opened, and someone walked in, "Your Highness Kyle, Your Highness Kyle, where are you?" It was Consort Melinda, another of Titus Ashworth’s favored consorts. Melinda, only 20 years old, was around the same age as Titus’s daughter, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, whom Titus favored greatly. Melinda’s own stomach was particularly cooperative, having become pregnant half a year ago, now five months along with a big belly. Titus was quite proud to have his consort pregnant at his age, proving that he was still very capable, so he valued Melinda’s pregnancy highly. After Melinda gives birth, he plans to throw a grand banquet to show everyone how competent Titus Ashworth is. Melinda had heard Kyle was here and eagerly came over, now seeing Serena and Kyle together. Her face immediately changed, pointing at Serena and cursing, "You slut, always seducing men. His Highness Kyle is not someone you can seduce!"
