Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1205

Arthur's surgery dragged on into the night, and once the bullet was out, he was wheeled into a hospital room. The rest of the royal family soon arrived to check on him. Brielle found herself the center of attention, surrounded by a flurry of activity. Some people even had the nerve to call her "Her Royal Highness," a title she quickly shot down. "I'm hardly acquainted with Prince Arthur," she insisted, trying to quash the rumors and whispers.

Prince Arthur's sister, with her golden locks and piercing blue eyes, smirked at Brielle's discomfort. "Given the situation here in Australia, should I be calling you 'sister-in-law'?" she teased, her eyes locked on Brielle's with a calm, measured stare.

Brielle was taken aback, but the princess continued smoothly. "My brother got hurt because of you. His safety affects the entire nation. Ms. Brielle, don't you think you owe us? Otherwise, the relationship between the royal family and the Lynch family might suffer." It was a thinly veiled threat, leveraging the Lynch name. Brielle, who had just reconnected with her family and shared only two meals with them, wasn't keen on causing any trouble.

The royal family's tactic was underhanded, to say the least.

Now, Brielle was sure that Arthur's injury was a calculated move a testament to someone's cunning to orchestrate events with such precision. It was a dangerous game, one that could have cost him his life if things had gone slightly awry. However, for the sake of their plan, Arthur was willing to gamble.

Reflecting on the situation, Brielle couldn't help but blame herself for not rejecting Arthur outright from the start, for not considering the full implications of their association.

Confronted with the princess's aggressive stance, Brielle quickly regained her composure and responded with a polite smile. "I'm sorry, but I'm already engaged and have a child. I believe the royal family, considering its reputation, wouldn't want a divorced woman as a bride?"
