At Harmony Palace, Eleanor questioned the middle-aged man before her. His head was bowed, and she asked
sharply, “How is this possible? How did Carissa find out about Cece’s identity?! Did that wretch herself tell
Carissa’s people?”
The man was tall and handsome, though a bit weathered. Hearing Eleanor’s accusation, he quickly shook his
head.
“It’s impossible. Celeste would never take the initiative to tell Lady Carissa. She has always been so obedient to
you and never dared to disobey your orders.”
“She wouldn't dare.” Eleanor’s eyes flashed with hostility. “Her mother is still imprisoned in my palace dungeon.
If she wants her mother released, she had better be obedient.”
“Of course. She'll definitely listen to you.”
Eleanor glared coldly at him, growing more enraged at his demeanor. “Go and ask her. Also, instruct the others
to keep a lower profile and not let anyone learn of their identities. | suspect that Carissa only learned about
Celeste and is making a fuss to provoke me, hoping to makehesitate and disrupt my plans. | won't be fooled
by her tricks.”

“Understood. | will speak to them about it.”
Seeing that he had nothing else to say and was solely concerned about his daughters, Eleanor’s gaze grew even
colder. “Get out!”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Henry turned and left. Over the years of internal strife and scheming, his once imposing figure had become
slightly stooped.
Eleanor watched his retreating figure, thinking of the man who bore sresemblance to him. Her heart stirred
briefly, only to be engulfed by a surge of deep-seated hatred.
Years ago, she had sought Hector’s hand in marriage as a princess, but he had dismissed her without a second
thought. Instead, he had chosen the lesser and more insignificant woman, Melanie Sullivan.
On their wedding day, Eleanor had cursed them, wishing they would be childless and doomed to an unhappy
end.
Yet, Melanie had given birth to six sons and one daughter. The more Eleanor despised them, the more they
seemed to flourish, their love for each other ever strong. The Duke of Northwatch had no concubines or
secondary wives.
After all these years of resentment, Eleanor knew she would never forget the man who had suddenly intruded
into her heart and disrupted her entire youth. When the news of his death came, she laughed wildly, and then
cried just as uncontrollably.
He died well, but why wasn’t it Melanie who died instead?
At least Melanie's sons had all died with him. Melanie must have been heartbroken. Indeed, she cried so much
that she nearly went blind.
In time, the entire family was wiped out, which was truly a satisfying turn of events

Wretches always get their just desserts.
But that man, even at the moment of his death, probably never once thought of Eleanor. And in the dead of
night, she still dreamed of the moment she first saw him, her eyes full of wonder, her cheeks flushed with
shyness.
The things she could not have were the most unforgettable.
She threw the cup to the ground, and it shattered with a loud crash.
Staring at the broken pieces of porcelain, her eyes were filled with hatred. If only her father had agreed to let her
marry Hector! If he did, she wouldn't now harbor such extrresentment toward him, the late king, as well as
toward the current king.

‘Oh, Father, did you know? You've ruined your daughter's life!’
At Hibiscus Lane, the side gate of a house creaked open, and a maid ushered in Henry as she said, “Don’t worry,
Your Grace. Mr. Langley returned to Gracehold Estate today and won't be back until tonight at the earliest.”
Henry nodded. “Taketo see her.”
The manor in Hibiscus Lane was a property of the Earl of Gracehold, arranged by Dorothy for Samuel and Ruby
to stay in.
Today, Dorothy had sent for Samuel. With his status as heir apparent stripped away, Samuel was beginning to
panic. The situation grew even more dire when he heard that there was a petition to have his nremoved
from the National Examination Register. Overcwith fear and anxiety, he felt compelled to return to the
estate and seek his grandmother's intervention.
Henry met his daughter in the sitting room. Ruby, now going by Celeste, stood up and curtsied. “Greetings, Your
Grace.”
Henry looked at his daughter's bowed head and sighed softly. “I’m your father. There's no one else here, so just
call‘Dad".”
Celeste lifted her head. “Alright, Dad.”
Henry sat down, his clothes rustling as he settled into the chair. “How was your identity discovered? Your mother
is quite upset and has askedto find out if you've been in any private contact with Lady Carissa.
