Chapter 618

With the Osbome family backed by the Queen, Arthur feared their growing power might threaten his throne.

So he used Albena as a convenient means to remove this lingering them,

By choosing exile over execution and sparing the lives of the Osborne family, he managed to keep Michol fly in check

Realization dawned on Alexandra as her brows knitted together, Kander continued, “it were to marry andrew, wouldn’t Majesty’s side? Then the Xander Manor would be the next to face his wrath

“Well“Mexandra epened her mouth, but no words came out.

She looked at Sander, flustered yet still clinging to hope. “The Kander Manor has shown unwavering loyalty. Even iftis Majesty harbors i he wouldn’t take action against you, would be?”

Xander fixed his deep, knowing gaze on her, his voice as soft as a driting cloud. “Mother, even you don’t really belime that

He brushed the dust from his robe with a wry, sell deprecating smile. “Mother,ve made up my mind. Aber Athena and hold our shall depart for my land. You will accompany us.”

Alexandra bolted to her feet, her face a mask of panic. “No, that won’t do! You wield sech immense power now. How could you possibly everything here for some remote, desolate land?”

“Mother, being near the Emperor is like being near a monster. With the considerable power I wild, do you truly believe His Majesty would reman

indMerent?

Alexandra’s face went from pale to ghostly white. Her eyes darted frantically, utterly at a loss for words

She had never even considered leaving for the fiefdom. The remote and barren territory Xander had could never compare to the luxures of Pidence City.

But once Xander had truly made up his mind, she could not do anything about it.

Xander’s voice turned icy as he delivered his final ultimatum to Alexandra “Kendra cannot remain in the Xander Manor Mother, if you persist in this you’ll not only harm her but also endanger me. I have never once considered marrying hex”

With that, he turned on his heel and strode out.

Xander’s unyielding stance left Alexandra utterly devastated. She was sad, yet unable to shed a single tea

After all her careful scheming for him, all she received in return was his cold, merciless rejection.”

She thought, ‘The King fears Xander because of my son’s exceptional abilities

“Yet Xander has never harbored a single treacherous thought. His loyalty to the throne is unwavering

“But to the King, he’s nothing but an eyesore

If Xander really wanted it, the throne would be his for the taking

Alexandha was heartbroken. She had fought her whole life to put Xander on the throne, but his utter lack of ambition made her like all

After a long moment, she let out a deep sigh.

Yet her eyes hardened with resolve. “If you won’t fight, then your mother will fight for you,” she vowed silently.

She thought, ‘How could my brilliant sort ever be content to play second fiddle to others?

“I will have the Porter amly’s support, no matter what.

“As for Athena…!

Alexandra’s lips curved into a frosty smile. “She’s just an obstacle in our way. When the time comes to remove her, I won’t hesitate

But for now, the priority was to make Xander accept Kendra. Otherwise, even with Athena out of the picture, hell would choo

Alexandra’s mind was made up. Producing a small bottle from her sleeve, she emptied its contents into the soup brought by the mad

Alexandra called out, “Attendant!”

Her trusted matron appeared instantly before her

She commanded with a dark expression, “Take this soup to Xander at once!

The matron looked at Alexandra in astonishment. If my eyes aren’t deceiving me, she’s giving Prince Xander Delusion Powder, she thought

This drug was completely colorless and tasteless. Even the most skilled warrior wouldn’t notice a thing.

Once ingested, it would cause one to lose their senses, becoming delirious with desire and lost in vivid illusions of their beloved

The servant knew that Alexandra was forcing Xander to sleep with Kendra.
