Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1164

Arthur let out a relieved sigh, "Thanks," he said appreciatively.

Connecting the royal family with an organization like this was a ticking time bomb, a scandal that could rock the monarchy to its core. Every royal who took the throne had to go to extreme lengths to keep the base's existence a secret. If word got out, the entire North American government would be shamed on the world stage.

Arthur wanted to be that prince, but he wasn't keen on carrying the weight of this explosive secret. Teaming up with Dustin, he could take out his rival Irene and diminish the risk surrounding the base, making its existence seem innocent. The talents trapped inside the base? They could easily be pinned on Irene, absolving the North American monarchy completely.

So, Irene had to go. Her death would ensure that her secret, being the princess's daughter, went with her to the grave.

Dustin understood Arthur's game plan, but they had to cooperate for now; they couldn't keep Brielle waiting much longer. They still didn't know why Brielle had been taken, so every second counted.

Once Arthur was untied, he wasted no time in betraying all of Irene's royal supporters. Dustin and King exchanged a knowing look, quickly organizing several allied families to seize control of these royals, preventing them from sending any distress signals and cutting off any reinforcements for the organization. The plan was in motion.

Meanwhile, Brielle, blindfolded, was clueless about her destination. After getting off the helicopter and enduring a rough car ride, they finally stopped.
