Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680 The Future Ahead

Caelan stopped there.

“You’ve had a rough day. Get some rest.” He stepped back slightly. “I should go too

Without waiting for her response, he turned and walked away.

Iris remained standing there for a very long time.

His words kept echoing in her head.

“And do you realize you might actually have the ability to help women live better lives than they do now?”

Then another thought slowly surfaced.

Caelan was right about one thing too.

If someone trusted by both sides remained beside Elira, someone capable of speaking openly to both Elira and the Duchess of Duskmoor, then perhaps future conflicts between them could be softened before they grew worse.

Or perhaps the connection between them could become even stronger.

For example…

If Iris became Caelan’s secondary consort, she could advise him politically and help him ascend to the Crown Prince’s Wing before eventually taking the throne.

And whenever conflict arose between Elira and Elowen, Iris could step in to mediate.

If she later bore Caelan children, the bond between the two sides would only grow stronger.

From every angle, it seemed like the best possible outcome.

But then another thought followed immediately behind it.

Iris lowered her eyes slightly.

With a background like mine…Looking this ordinary…Am I really worthy of becoming a prince’s consort?

Meanwhile, inside the carriage returning to Duskmoor Manor, Elowen held Cassian’s injured hand carefully between both of hers, turning it over while her face filled with distress.

“You really had to grab the blade yourself?” she muttered. “You could’ve shoved Isla away or pulled His Majesty back instead. Do you know how much this must hurt?”

Cassian smiled faintly.

“The worse it looks, the more sympathy His Majesty feels for us.”

Elowen lifted her face toward him, still worried.

“Speaking of sympathy.. Cassian, Alaric’s head really is gone now. If His Majesty decides to investigate later, what happens then was the one who hated Alaric. I’m the one who insisted on taking his head.

“I already handled it.”

Cassian’s tone stayed calm, almost amused.

“By now, someone’s probably already attached a replacement.

Elowen blinked at him.

“A replacement?”

“A resin replica,” Cassian explained. “I hired the best sculptor in Vaffelle to recreate fris face based on how he looked while alive. It’s convincing enough that nobody would notice unless they physically touched it.”

Elowen stared at him.

“When did you arrange all that?”

“The day you told me you wanted his head.”

Elowen looked at his sharply defined profile, and something inside her softened completely.

Cassian was always like this.

The moment she said she wanted something, he quietly arranged everything for her before she even had time to worry.

“The craftsmen working inside the royal crypt today were all my people,” he continued. “And now that Alaric’s buried, nobody can casually reopen the royal tombs. Besides, Isla’s already fallen. Nobody’s going to keep investigating this matter.”

A faint smile touched his lips.

“And even if someone brings it up months from now, the body will already be decomposed. By then, nobody’s going to inspect whether the head is genuine.”

After a pause, he added, “Later on, I’ll have someone finish cleaning up the remaining details.”

Elowen finally let out a long breath. “Cassian… you’re too good to me.”

Cassian lowered his face closer to hers.

“If I’m that good to you, how are you planning to repay me?”

Laughing softly, Elowen leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.

Cassian clearly decided that wasn’t enough.

He immediately leaned down and kissed her properly, firm and lingering against her lips.

By the time they returned to Duskmoor Matier, night had already fallen, and iron lanterns glowed throughout the estate.

The moment Elowen stepped down from the carriage, she spotted Mira pacing anxiously near the entrance while Scarlet stood nearby trying to calm her.

The second Mira saw Elowen, she rushed forward.

“Your Grace! You’re finally back! I was so worried”

Elowen gently patted her hand before looking her over carefully.

Dust clung to Mira’s clothes, and one sleeve had been torn open, but otherwise she looked unharmed.

Only then did Elowen finally relax.

“I heard you ran into assassins?”

Mira nodded hard.

“We did! They attacked us on the road, but Commander Hall stepped in and saved us.”

Then she hurriedly asked, “What about you, Your Grace? Are you all right?”

Scarlet smiled beside her.

“Mira was terrified the assassins had gone after Your Grace too.”

Elowen turned toward Scarlet.

She looked unharmed as well, though her hair had loosened slightly and her face was still pale.

“I’m fine,” Elowen reassured them. “No one came after me.”

Mira carefully looked her over from head to toe and only relaxed after confirming Elowen truly seened untouched.
