Aveline had indeed come, and Theodric’s fury today likely had something to do with what she said.

But at the root of it, it was his own fault. His behavior during the hunt had frightened Kaelan and given others reason to speak against him.

He narrowed his eyes, forcing down his irritation.

Right now, keeping his position mattered most.

In his past life, Kaelan had passed the imperial exams and entered court. The boy had been upright and unbending, and even with Aveline behind him, he had struggled in that world.

In the end, hadn’t Aveline still gone to Theodric for help?

And that problem had been resolved by him, the crown prince.

Back then, she had been nothing but grateful.

As long as he remained crown prince, as long as he eventually took that throne, everything would fall into place.

What was a little humiliation now?

Alaric took a slow breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Cassian didn’t love Elowen. He was only using her.

Once Alaric found the woman Cassian truly cared about, Cassian would cast Elowen aside.

Second, rumors claimed that Daphne, soon to be crown princess, was actually Azure.

Compared to the noise across Vanelle, Duskmoor Manor was unusually calm.

Elowen sat at her desk, finishing the last line of a letter. She sealed it carefully and handed it to Mira. “All set. Send it out.”

“Yes, Your Grace,” Mira said brightly, taking the letter and leaving.

Cora stepped in quietly. “Your Grace, Doctor Dray has arrived.”

Elowen looked up. Hugh stood in the doorway with his medical case.

“Please come in,” Elowen said with a polite smile.

Elowen inclined her head.

After checking her pulse, Hugh nodded. “You look much better lately. Your knee must be improving.”

She remembered clearly that around this time in her previous life, the steady autumn rains had made her knee ache constantly, keeping her awake at night.

Elowen was about to thank him when his expression turned serious. “Is His Grace not at the manor again?”
