Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785: Drama King

After Andre’s "insightful" words—if not outright ominous—Islinda tried to shift her focus to the arena. The duel would begin soon, and the atmosphere was charged.

As she watched, other members of the royal family started to file in, taking their places in the exclusive viewing section. The crowd’s excitement swelled again when Prince Theodore arrived.

Though not as wildly popular as Andre, Prince Theodore had his own legion of admirers. The cheers grew louder as the crowd caught sight of him, but it wasn’t just Theodore who captured their attention.

Beside him was a small girl, with striking similarities to the prince. Her hair was the same rich shade of green, and her eyes sparkled with a familiar glint. However, there were noticeable differences too: her skin had a faint green hue, and her ears were longer than those of an average Fae, tapering to more delicate points.

Curiosity piqued, Islinda leaned toward Andre. "Who is that little girl with Theodore?" she asked quietly.

Andre followed her gaze. "That’s his daughter," he replied matter-of-factly. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Islinda blinked, taken aback. She hadn’t heard of Prince Theodore being married—none of the princes were, as far as she knew. Their mothers had made no secret of their intentions to secure powerful matches for their sons, which was why she found Andre’s revelation so surprising.

"I didn’t know Theodore had a daughter," Islinda said, her voice tinged with disbelief. "He’s not married, is he?"

Andre shook his head, "No, he’s not. Theodore had an affair with an elf princess a few years ago. The girl is the result of that liaison."

Islinda’s heart missed a beat. That was shocking. At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Theodore and his daughter. The court was a ruthless place for those who didn’t conform to its rigid expectations. "What happened to the princess?" she asked.

"Queen Nirvana didn’t approve of her," Andre explained. "Elves aren’t as prominent as our kind. Their kingdom isn’t powerful enough, and their main strength lies in their healing abilities and few magical prowess. To make matters worse, the princess isn’t even in line for the throne. As far as Queen Nirvana is concerned, she’s not worthy of being associated with the royal family. The child is recognized as royalty, of course, but

She would do everything in her power to keep her and her mother at arm’s length. She’s determined that Theodore will marry a Fae—someone with the right bloodline and connections."

"That’s awful," Islinda muttered, watching the little girl. She was sitting beside Theodore, her wide eyes taking in the arena with innocent wonder. It was clear that she adored her father, and the sight made Islinda’s heart ache.
