The Cursed Prince's Strange Bride

Chapter 466  The Long Summary (2)

It was either that Prince Harry had some low-key grievances against Harold or his mother had incited him too much because by the time Damian led him out and went to find Ivan, Harold had shown up in the training range, and things got crazy.

Damian didn't exactly hate Harold since he wasn't from the queen; neither did he give anyone trouble and just lived quietly. But since he had gotten involved, he could not just stop now.

So when both Harold and Harry were unconscious, he did it.

He blew a poisonous powder at Harry. He didn't want to take any chances and have Harry remember what he had done.

But Tyra had seen him.

And it was from that moment on, the brainwashing started. It was all to bring her to his side. And Tyra, a weak little girl with an inferiority complex, had fallen for it.

If Damian knew about the Queen and Damon's affair, it was obvious he knew about Tyra too. He told the little girl. Reminded her of how Damon hated her. How the queen hated her. How everyone hated her because she had come from an illicit affair. It wasn't difficult to believe because it was obvious. It was also very clear. How could an Alpha with a Beta birth an Omega girl like her? It was all clear. He had promised her this: One day, she would be the most feared ruler.

And that was her only dream. But she had to put up with everything thrown at her for years for her dream to be realized.

However, Damian had been thrown into prison to die after Harry's death. Since he didn't want to die there and end his revenge, he used another card.

He knew where a witch was. He had met one a long time ago while he was trying to find his footing.

It had been his gift to the queen. Since she hated Harold and feared he might take the throne after killing her son, they could restrict him from doing that.

How about a curse to make him ineligible?

It was only after the queen was satisfied with the outcome that she later released him after a long time, and he continued his service with her.

And as he became loyal to the queen, helping her with all her atrocities, he was building Tyra secretly. He would use Tyra to destroy all of them, and then they would destroy her too, and the Moon Kingdom would be in ruins.

It was his goal.

A very long, detailed, and evil goal.

The one that involved several potions and poisons.

Killing Beth. Killing maids. Gathering rogues.

For Tyra, she had also directly and indirectly hurt many people. And it was because Harold had refused to be ambitious. If he had been, she wouldn't have gone this far. She had even tried to incite him several times by having hunters and even bandits attack him and kill Alicia too, but he still made no effort to declare war for the throne, so she had to help him do it all.

Ivan would have died a long time ago. But she had been patient. He was like her catalyst because seeing him motivated her to do this more. He didn't deserve a secret death that would make people suspect Harold for it, but a public execution. The type that would involve treason.

Beth had always been torn in her flesh. Since Princess Amber was also annoying her, she wanted to make sure they both got rid of her. It was quite easy to get Beth. They only needed a letter in her father's handwriting to tell her it was her chance to get rid of the princess tonight during the moon hunt and he would look out for her, also apologizing for the harsh words he had said to her earlier by the lake. It had been easy for Damian to make that kind of letter with a similar style of writing as Sir Rager's after copying one of the official letters he had sent to the palace.

Beth had stupidly fallen for it.

Damian had warned Tyra several times against harming Alicia directly since killing a witch came with a lot. It was why Tyra always wanted others to do it.

It would have been easy if both ladies had killed each other and just gotten lost, leaving her to her king, who would love only her. Even if Alicia hadn't died, the many doses of Beta's nightmare would have made her crazy, as evidenced by the witch kneeling with them. Yes, she had been their lab rat.

But as fate would have it, Tyra and Beth bumped into each other first. And Beth had been very nasty to her. She was going to die anyway, so why not earlier? She had descended upon Beth like a wild animal until Damian showed up to pull her away, shocked at the scene. He had also noticed she was having her episodes and quickly fed her the potion before she could go find Princess Amber too.

Alicia's head had conjured it wrongly. The one she had seen and imagined hadn't been Beth because Beth was already dead even before she got down. It was Tyra. Always been her.

She had wanted to just get it over with and kill Princess Amber that night. Whatever consequences came with it, she was ready to face them later.

But that didn't work. And more plans didn't. It was all because of her.

Susan wouldn't have died either. She liked Susan even though she was annoying and liked to act like she was better and smarter than everyone just because she was fortunate to be born a Beta.

Susan had seen her leave the palace that night after she bid goodnight to Harold and Alicia after hearing the tale Sir Richard told them about Prince Wilder and Queen Anne.

She had followed Tyra, who was sneaking around, and that was how she found the secret door too and followed.
