Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 882

“Hmm… not entirely.” Jim was eloquent when it came to his work. "It'd still be a mystery novel most of the time, but there'll be elements of romance incorporated."

"That must be interesting!" Cordelia looked at him. "Can we have a spoiler, Uncle Bond?"

"Darling!" Zephyr shot her a look to stop her with a smile.

He knew writers had quirks and did not like others to find out the storyline in advance.

Jim was different. He generously explained, "There's a part in the novel based on a true story…

"I've looked it up. There used to be Southeast Aciatic princess who fell in love with a traveling artist in Melorian when she visited here."

"What!?" Cordelia and Zephyr froze and looked at each other simultaneously before they paid attention to what he said next.

"The traveling artist was a nomad and was said to be incredibly talented! Of course, he was very good-looking too. Why else would the princess be smitten?"

"What happened after that?"

Jim continued. "I only remember that the royal family didn't support the relationship, but the princess was so in love that she's even given birth to a baby with the man! But the documentation isn't detailed, and a lot has been manually erased. Maybe… it's a humiliation to the royal family, so they don't want this to circulate among the people."

Cordelia put down her cutlery and met eyes with Zephyr. They seemingly understood something.

The princess, a traveling artist, a relationship that was not approved of, an illegitimate child… Each one could relate to Helene Charles!

Cordelia continued to ask, "Uncle Bond, where has the traveling artist gone to?"

"It's said that he's died." Jim stroked his chin. "After the royal family captured the princess back, he wanted to take a boat to Southeast Aciatic to look for her only to be caught in a shipwreck and buried in the deep sea. Hah, who knows if the shipwreck was a natural disaster or a manmade accident? This is one of the main mystery plots in my novel!"

Cordelia's expression flickered dimly.

Jim chortled. "This is the information I rummaged and collected to write. They might not be true. They could be made up by other senior writers!
