Victoria sneered and said strangely, “Alexander… you swing that way?”
Alexander balled up his fists.
His gaze scared Victoria. As his elder sister, she had never seen a cutting gaze like this from her usual mild-
mannered brother. She could not help stepping back, but she kept up the authority of a princess.
“You… What are you going to do?”
“Sister, why are you so nervous?” Alexander smirked. “You were the one being aggressive just now. I haven’t said
anything!”
Victoria pursed her lips and stayed silent.
“I have to remind you, though.” Alexander looked at her. “You let Allegra bully Cordelia.”
“Nonsense!”
“Never mind, you won’t admit it.” Alexander shrugged nonchalantly. “You’ve got to know that there’s no fool in this
world. Allegra’s willing to be used not because she’s close to you but because she wants something more from you!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“And Cordelia…” He sighed. “Don’t think she’s a pushover. Her first 20 years were really spent in Jangasas, and her
life was horrible, but she’s now Mrs. Hamerton and the Irwin heiress. She could possibly take up Irwin
Pharmaceuticals in the future.
“Victoria, if you still want the throne, you should be pulling the Irwins to your side, not fighting Cordelia for nothing.
Never mind if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, don’t drag me into it!”
Victoria scowled instantly, unable to speak from how furious she was.
Alexander shook his head and looked at her like she was supposed to know better before going upstairs to sleep.
Perhaps it was because his mind had been read so soon that sleep did not come easy to him tonight.

girls. Other than Neil, he did not have many friends.
Back then, Victoria thought that he was a playboy, a womanizer. Growing up, she discovered that he had another
reason…
Alexander tossed and turned, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The king was fond of him, and among the royal family
members. Even the walls were embedded with gems and jade. His place was luxurious and grand.
It was just that there was an unusual soul under that noble exterior.
Alexander’s wide-opened eyes were lost. He knew his sister liked the throne, and he had never considered fighting
over it with her. He had a mild temperament and only wanted a quiet life.
Now, it seemed that it would be a disaster to Southeast Aciatic if his sister were to get the throne.
What about him? Could a conservative country like Southeast Aciatic and its pedantic royal family accept a king like
him?

After the Floria Festival event, the queen seemed to have taken a liking to Cordelia and invited her to the palace
frequently.
Each time Cordelia went there, Alexander watched out for her secretly and sent her back personally after she had
tea with the queen.
It was just that he did not send her to her door but a distance away from her house. It was not too far nor too near

On that day, Alexander sent her to the street like usual.
“Here we are.” He smiled. “I’ll see you get in.”
Cordelia was embarrassed and offered politely, “Why don’t you come in?”
“Forget it!” Alexander giggled. “I know you’re just being nice. If I really do go in, your husband will have to serve me
tea again.”
Cordelia snorted a laugh.
After the tea last time, Alexander later understood what Zephyr had been implying. He had been scolding him.
“Your Highness, I’m really sorry,” Cordelia said sincerely. “My husband’s really nice, but he was rude that day. He’s
really…”
“You’re calling me Your Highness again!”
“Oh…” Cordelia backtracked with a grin. “Alexander.”
“It’s fine. He cares a lot about you.” Alexander chuckled. “If he cares about me like this…”
“What?”
