Daphne had actually slept with a guard from the Crown Prince’s Wing behind his back.
Alaric flew into a rage. He immediately ordered blood test to prove paternity, dragging out the boy he had believed to be his son with Daphne.
The result was undeniable. The child was not his.
Humiliated and furious, Alaric drew his sword and moved to kill Daphne on the spot.
Knowing she had no defense left, Daphne dropped to the floor instead of begging. She started laughing. “Your Highness, don’t you think you’re pathetic? The only one who ever truly loved you was Elowen. And she’s dead because of you.”
“Shut your mouth,” Alaric snapped. “When did I ever harm her?”
Daphne let out a cold laugh. “Years of indifference. Years of grinding her down. You call that nothing? Did you never hear her crying? Did you never see her knee getting worse, see her limping with every step? She was just a girl. She died because she loved you. She died because she married you.”
Pressed hard by her words, Alaric coughed up a mouthful of blood.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back years earlier.
The memories of his previous life rushed in. Regret and pain flooded his chest until it ached.
The only person who had ever truly loved him was Elowen.
And he had loved her too. Since childhood.
When she married him, he had been happy. Truly happy.
He had been a fool. He had hurt her for years. Alaric clenched his jaw. Fortunately, he was still the Crown Prince.
Given another life, he would make it right. He would win her back.
His head burned with fever. The memories were fragmented. He could recall pieces of his past life, but what year this was now, what exactly had happened recently, his mind was a blur.
Why does my whole body hurt this bad?
“Tristan.”

In his previous life, many had served him in the Crown Prince’s Wing, but only Tristan had remained truly loyal. It had been Tristan who risked everything to tell him about Daphne’s betrayal.
Alaric trusted him.
At this time, however, Tristan was not yet a prominent figure in the Crown Prince’s Wing. He did not stand out.
When the heir suddenly woke, a crowd rushed forward in concern. Tristan was pushed to the very edge, unable even to see Alaric clearly.
Only when Alaric called his name did the crowd part.
Tristan stepped forward, startled. “Your Highness?”
Alaric asked directly, “What year is it?”,
Tristan replied, “Your Highness, it is the fifteenth year of His Majesty’s reign.”
Year fifteen. That’s the year Elowen marries into the Crown Prince’s household.
Relief flickered through Alaric. “What month?”
“The tenth month, Your Highness. It just began
If he remembered correctly, his wedding with Elowen had also been in the tenth month.
It had rained heavily that day. He hated rainy days. He had taken it out on her.
Thinking back now, shame rose in his chest.
What does the weather have to do with her?
On their wedding night, he had even ordered her to curl up and sleep on the floor beside the bed.
The regret cut deep.
But something did not add up. He did not recall falling gravely ill at the beginning of the tenth month in his previous life. His body bore signs of having been beaten.
Who would dare lay a hand on me?
He voiced the question. “I can’t remember clearly. Why am I this injured?”
