NovelEnglishIn the past, Augustus had been very fond of Chloe. By extension, he had also cared deeply for Eleanor.
While Ruth was raising Eleanor, Augustus showered them with continuous gifts and rewards.
Now, Ruth had becthe grand concubine of Augustus' concubines. Compared to Sigmund's concubines, they
were nearly inconsequential. Their primary concern was merely to continue living. Those of lower status who had
not borne children were either consigned to be buried with the deceased or sent to nunneries.
In terms of seniority, Augustus' concubines were indeed among the oldest in the palace. Unfortunately, seniority
did not hold much weight in the harem.
Sigmund had sent Yuvan to his fief, but he had kept Ruth in the palace as a way to restrain Yuvan.
Over the years, Yuvan seemed to lack ability. He was foolish and infatuated with beautiful women, leading to him
abandoning his wife for a concubine.
So, Salvador had considered granting Yuvan a favor by allowing him to bring Ruth to Horizon Estate. He planned
to issue the edict after New Year's Eve.
However, upon hearing about Avis passing, Salvador was displeased and decided to postpone this matter. After
all, Eleanor was also considered Ruth's daughter, and it would be appropriate for Eleanor to fulfill her duties as a
daughter.
Yuvan, accompanied by his family, took their leave and went to visit Ruth in her residence. Coincidentally,
Eleanor was there as well.
Ruth's hair was streaked with gray, and she was overjoyed to see her son return. After they had all exgbanged
formalities, she eagerly summoned her family to her side and inquired about their wellbeing. Yuvan then
approached Eleanor. "Eleanor, it has been a long time."
The step-siblings were born just two days apart, in the syear and month.

"Yes. The last t| returned was because my late wife was handling the marriage of that Sinclair girl," Yuvan
said, his gaze growing cold and distant, no longer as pleasant as before.
Upon hearing about Carissa, Eleanor grabbed her cloak and slowly walked out. Yuvan followed closely behind.
"What's wrong? Are you also displeased with that girl, Eleanor?"
"Not just dislike. | practically wish I could peel off her skin and pull out her tendons," Eleanor said coldly.
Yuvan seemed thoughtful. "She is Hector's daughter."
At the mention of Hector, Eleanor's eyes flashed with intense hatred. The rage surged through her, causing a
sharp, dull ache to spread through her limbs and body.
Her voice was cold and merciless, "I will never forget how Hector rejected me."
"That's in the post. Remembering is enough. There's no need to dwell on it too deeply, lest you hurt

He still cared for his step-sister.

"Hurt?" Eleanor sneered. "For him? Not at all! Everyone from the Sinclair family should have died, but they've
resurfaced. Carissa even married Rafael and is enjoying such glory. It's truly irritating" Yuvan stood beside her,
the ambition in his eyes unmistakable. "Glory is fleeting. Once the grand plan is achieved, whether to kill or
spare her-won't that be entirely up to you, dear sister?"
Eleanor suppressed her emotions and asked, "What is the situation in Stonebridge County?"
Yuvan curtly responded, "We lack people, weapons, and armor."
Eleanor frowned. The court had stringent controls over weapons and armor. It wasn't something that could be
bought with money alone.
Yuvan added, "Let's see what the Spencer family decides."
