"The kindred have been misunderstood and mistreated for far too long. Catherine's heritage does not define her worth or abilities. And I have every confidence that she is the perfect choice. Who do you think you are to question my authority like this?" Shawn thundered as anger flashed in his eyes.The duke leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "You are blind, Your Majesty. Blinded by infatuation and a misplaced sense of priorities. Your decisions are endangering the stability of our kingdom."A surge of anger coursed through Shawn's veins, his voice biting with sarcasm. "Endangering the stability? The noble houses have long enjoyed their power and privilege at the expense of the people. The people deserve a queen who will champion their rights and bring about progress,” he shot back furiously.As the argument raged on, Catherine's face lingered in Shawn's mind, her image serving as a reminder of the path he had chosen. He knew that he had to stay true to his convictions, even in the fac

Gerald was tempted to ask what was so intriguing in the Newspaper that he couldn't put it down for a second. However, the words failed to come out of his mouth. “If you say so. But I’ve got to warn you not to expect too much out of this. Everyone knows Dyson keeps his side of the street clean. It’s hard to find a single dirt on him,” Gerald replied honestly. It wasn’t the first time he would embark on a fruitless investigation of Duke Dyson’s activities.

“Good Lord, I think she's already gotten you under her spell. I've never seen you react like this before." Gerald continued hysterically.Shawn's face continued to flush slightly, trying to hide his growing discomfort. "Don't be ridiculous, you Dumbass. We barely know each other. It's just like an arranged marriage, a political alliance. Nothing more."Gerald leaned back in his chair, a mischievous grin spreading across his face as he kept studying the never seen before soft expressions on Shawn’s face. "Oh, really? That's not what your eyes are saying. I’ve never seen this look on you before. You're smitten, my friend."Shawn's cheeks turned even a shade redder as he grumbled without saying anything.Gerald's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow! The mighty King Shawn, captivated by a woman? I never thought I'd live to see the day when you'll fall in love again. This is going to be interesting."Shawn shot Gerald a mock glare, shaking his head. "I guess you've been reading too many ro

”No, it isn't your fault, My Lord. I alone, should be the one apologizing for the embarrassing mixup.” Catherine said, trying hard not to let her anxiety seep into her voice.
