Nicholas furrowed his brows when Knight Jerald asked him to repeat his words instead of pinching him as the king requested. So, Nicholas decided to pinch himself to make sure he was not hallucinating. "OUCH!" Nicholas realized it was real. What made Leland want to bring Sophie and the kids to the royal palace? All this time he seemed to avoid the place like the plague. He only let Luciel and Jan come to visit, Nicholas would be the one to come and pick them up with several knights. Leland wouldn't come…

Leland lowered his head and looked at Sophie seriously. His hands held hers tightly. He said, "I promise to return as soon as possible. This is an urgent matter and I cannot delay this further." There was something in his voice that made Sophie feel suspicious. To the best of her knowledge, Leland never lied to her, but he had a habit of keeping bad things to himself to protect her and she hated that. She wanted to always know what he was dealing with so she could support him in ways that she could.…

Sophie wanted to protest and walked past Duncan to find her husband but suddenly she saw Leland come out of his study. His face looked calm, far from angry as Lucien said. Sophie wondered if everything was fine. "Leland," she walked to him and held his arm. "What happened?" Leland had listened to everything Celia had to say and he was actually far from calm. However, he didn't want Sophie to feel distraught if she found out what he had heard. So, Leland kept acting as if everything was fine. In his…

"Will you help...?" Celia looked at Leland with a pleading gaze. "To show our gratitude, I bring you something." She took out something from her pocket and showed it to Leland. The man's eyes instantly narrowed when he saw it. It was a simple ring made of gold with a small ruby on it as decoration. He recognized that simple ring and thought he would never see it again. "How did you have Anne's ring?" he snatched the ring angrily. "I didn't know witches can be grave robbers!" Celia shook her head. "We…

Note: Thank you, Despina dear, for gifting a castle to this book last week. Sorry I couldn't publish for days. So much was going on in real life. . . . ___________________________ Sophie didn't know any witch at all, but Katherine. Did something happen to her? Katherine refused to join them in the capital when Sophie asked her to come with them, saying she had other things to do in her hometown. The last thing Sophie heard about Katherine was that she went to visit her nieces. She turned to Leland…

By now, the whole capital already knew that the king's engagement with Lady Karenina Verhoven was annulled and they were no longer engaged to be married. Many people talked about the issues and their opinions were divided. Some people thought Karenina was so unlucky and pathetic that the king could toss her away just like that without ever giving her the status she had been wanting for a long time. Some, however, thought she was brave and mature to still maintain a good relationship with the royal…

Leland felt helpless when he knew Sophie had a bad feeling about something but he couldn't really find the solution to address that situation. What could they do when they didn't actually know the problem? He was a man who relied on logic and information, unlike women who might be used to using their intuition. He didn't want to brush off her lingering bad feeling, but at the same time, he didn't know what to do about it. However, he also didn't want Sophie to keep feeling bothered by it. So, he put…

"Grandma!" Luciel ran toward Queen Marianne and hugged her. Jan followed right behind him. Ever since they knew that the kind old lady they met in the royal palace was their own grandmother, the boys were so excited about meeting her. She was their only known grandparent, the others were dead except for Isolde who didn't have any relationship with them because Leland had cut ties with his mother many years ago. "Gosh... you are so adorable," Queen Marianne gushed. She crouched down and hugged Luciel and…

"We received a letter from the capital," Leland looked up from his books when he heard Sophie's footsteps entering his study. A big smile was immediately etched on his face when he also heard small steps from eight chubby legs behind Sophie. Anne and Jack were walking in a circle around their mother who had to really watch her steps so she wouldn't step on her children. They looked happy and full of energy. As soon as Anne saw Leland's feet on the floor, she immediately charged forward and wrapped all…

"Lucas," Lily greeted the man with a smile. "Are you ready?" Lucas asked Lily. The girl nodded. He helped her get on her horse and then got on his own mount. The guard opened the gate and let both people leave the castle. Sophie watched until they disappeared from sight before she went back inside and met her husband and children for dinner. "You look happy," Leland commented when he saw Sophie enter the dining room with a beaming face. "I really like Lily," Sophie gushed. "I feel like we have so much…
