Alexander’s throat constricted, and his gaze was complicated. It took a while for him to squeeze out, “Sorry.”
“Sorry?” Zephyr arched a brow and said through gritted teeth, “I don’t need your apology. I just want to know the
truth!
“It’s my wedding today. I wanted to give my wife a warm and pleasant memory to look back on, only for it to turn
out like this. My son nearly got hurt!”
“Sorry, I’m really sorry…” Alexander was crestfallen but could only apologize anxiously now. He did not know how
to mention the royal family’s secret, but he did not want Zephyr to be unhappy.
Even though he was not the one standing next to Zephyr, he still wanted to do his all to make him happy.
Remus told him softly, “Your Highness, Princess Lene got a sedative shot and has gone to sleep. The guards have

“Alright.” Alexander’s reply was weak.
“Your Highness!” Remus was anxious. “Aren’t you going to ask who let her out?”
Alexander’s eyes flickered before he took a deep breath and clenched his hands into fists. He knew as much. Who
else could it be other than his arrogant sister, who had no regard for consequences?
Despite that, all he could think of now was how to explain it to Zephyr when a proper wedding turned into this
disaster.
“Your Highness, Aurelia’s hurt!” Neil walked to him with anger simmering in his eyes. “Like Zephyr, I’d like an
explanation from you!”
Cordelia was still feeling the scare, although Zuko had stopped crying, feeling enough security in his mother’s arms.
Aurelia was still being treated in another room.
Rowan took a step forward to ask with furrowed brows, “Your Highness, pardon my straightforwardness… The lady
just now isn’t doing well mentally, is she?
“I saw the sedative the servant used on her. It’s a huge dose… It’s obvious that it’s already caused by drug
dependency!”
Alexander licked his dry lips. “Mr. Irwin, do you have any solution?”
Rowan narrowed his eyes. “I can try acupuncture, but I’ve never seen her and don’t know how she’s related in the
palace… Your Highness, can you detail it to me so I can treat her accordingly?”
Alexander contemplated and nodded with much difficulty.
He asked for the guests to be placated and taken to the garden to continue enjoying the banquet while he took
Cordelia, Zephyr, Rowan, and Neil to a secret chamber.

“Aurelia’s still being treated, so I won’t ask her over.” Alexander turned to them. “I know you want an answer, but
even I’m lost. I can only tell you what I know.”
Cordelia carried Zuko in her arms and nodded lightly after exchanging a glance with Zephyr.
“That woman just now…” Alexander paused before uttering softly, “Is my paternal aunt.”
“What!?”
Everyone was shocked.
“It’s no wonder,” Zephyr replied softly. “We heard the maids calling her ‘Your Highness’ when we rushed to the
banquet hall just now.”
“Yeah, she’s my aunt, the king’s younger sister. Her name is Helene Charles, a princess. Everyone calls her Princess
Lene.”
Cordelia frowned. “Then how did she become like this?”
Alexander sighed. “I don’t know either… Since I was conferred as a prince and entered the palace, I know that the
west palace is prohibited, and no one can get close.”
