Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 206

 

Chapter 206 The last brother

Daniel looked… completely fine. He looked tired and a little worn, but fine. She didn’t know what she expected, but it was a relief to see him look so untouched. Doris hurried over to him and he caught her in his arms. “I’m so glad you’re okay! I am so so sorry for what happened to you—“ “Doris, it’s fine.” He set her down, not even a smile cracked his face but she didn’t blame him. She wouldn’t be smiling either. “How are you? When did you get back?” “I just got here about an hour ago. I was caught up on all that happened while I was gone.” He walked further into the library and glanced around as if he didn’t want to even look at her. “I see that William got what he wanted.” “Daniel, I am so sorry for everything,” “It is not you that should be apologizing, Doris. I know that you didn’t poison me, so don’t bother trying to apologize for that. This is all because of William.” Doris didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t defend William after all that he had done. Daniel went into a coma with all his family alive, and came out of one with only one remaining. Just because she loved William didn’t mean that he was free of blame.

Daniel collapsed in one of the chairs by the window. Doris hesitated before she joined him. “He wanted you to be safe. He didn’t do it to hurt you, he wanted to make sure you weren’t harmed in the war because he knew you would have been out there in the fight.”

Daniel stared out the window as if she wasn’t there, but she knew he was listening.

“William loves you… he loves you so much. You are the only member of his family he made sure that nothing could harm. He knew the risk when he did what he did, and he made sure that you were going to be fine”

“He poisoned me, Doris. He killed our brothers and now our father is dead.” Daniel tightened his grip on the chair. “Listen to yourself, he doesn’t care for anyone but himself. He tore through his own family to get the crown. Who is he now that he has it?”

He glanced down, but still didn’t look her in the eye. “I wondered… I wondered how my brother ended up with someone as kind as you. I know he doesn’t deserve you. Being a king doesn’t mean he deserves nice things in life, and you are the greatest prize he could have won.” “I see William for all of his flaws and I choose to love him anyway because I see more than that.” Doris whispered. “It’s not always about deserving something.
