Victoria sneered and said strangely, “Alexander… you swing that way?"
Alexander balled up his fists.
His gaze scared Victoria. As his elder sister, she had never seen a cutting gaze like this from her usual mild-mannered brother. She could not help stepping back, but she kept up the authority of a princess.
“You… What are you going to do?”
“Sister, why are you so nervous?” Alexander smirked. “You were the one being aggressive just now. I haven’t said anything!”
Victoria pursed her lips and stayed silent.
“I have to remind you, though.” Alexander looked at her. “You let Allegra bully Cordelia.”
“Nonsense!”
“Never mind, you won’t admit it.” Alexander shrugged nonchalantly. “You’ve got to know that there’s no fool in this world. Allegra’s willing to be used not because she’s close to you but because she wants something more from you!
“And Cordelia…" He sighed. "Don’t think she’s a pushover. Her first 20 years were really spent in Jangasas, and her life was horrible, but she’s now Mrs. Hamerton and the Irwin heiress. She could possibly take up Irwin Pharmaceuticals in the future.
“Victoria, if you still want the throne, you should be pulling the Irwins to your side, not fighting Cordelia for nothing. Never mind if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, don’t drag me into it!”
Victoria scowled instantly, unable to speak from how furious she was.
Alexander shook his head and looked at her like she was supposed to know better before going upstairs to sleep.
Perhaps it was because his mind had been read so soon that sleep did not come easy to him tonight.
Actually, Victoria was able to tell since they were kids. He rarely played with the boys and liked spending time with girls. Other than Neil, he did not have many friends.
Back then, Victoria thought that he was a playboy, a womanizer. Growing up, she discovered that he had another reason…
Alexander tossed and turned, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The king was fond of him, and his bedroom was the best among the royal family members. Even the walls were embedded with gems and jade. His place was luxurious and grand.
It was just that there was an unusual soul under that noble exterior.
