Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 386

After Dominic's departure, a brief silence settled over the room.

King Alaric took a sip of his tea, his expression utterly unreadable. "Lucian, things are quite clear now. Daphne had nothing to do with any of this."

Lucian raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but the King held up a hand to stop him. "I also understand where you stand. I agree to annul the engagement. And, as compensation for Miss Shaw, I am willing to gift her the gold mine in Southridge. Let us put this matter to rest. What do you say?"

A gold mine?

Willow paused slightly. She actually remembered something about the gold mine in Southridge!

In her previous life, massive oil reserves were discovered in Southridge a year later, completely turning the tide for The Solarian Royal House!

Armed with those boundless resources, they began aggressively invading neighboring nations...

They grew to a genuinely terrifying level of power.

They even launched an attack on the Jagger family. After Lucian's death, half of the Jagger empire had been swallowed up by them.

Willow had initially been worried about the looming threat, but now...

She let out a soft laugh. A golden opportunity had just dropped right into her lap. She would be a fool to reject it.

Lucian had originally planned to refuse. The Jagger family was hardly desperate for a single gold mine.

If Willow wanted one, he could casually buy her ten without blinking.

More than anything, he simply didn't want Willow to suffer any grievances.

But before he could say a word, Willow's hand gently rested on the back of his, halting him completely.

Lucian looked at her in surprise, but he was fiercely obedient. Whatever Willow wanted was law.
