Jennifer’s POV:
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would get to see Austin and Elizabeth reconcile.
After all, Austin had murdered the previous King—Elizabeth’s mate—so naturally, she must’ve hated him to the core.
If she really forgave Austin, she must’ve gone through a lot of psychological turmoil to reach this point.
Nevertheless, this was a good outcome and I was sure that Anthony would be glad when he heard about it.
Seeing Elizabeth hugging Austin touched me to my core.
Even though Austin’s expression was a bit awkward, he made no move to avoid Elizabeth’s approach.I knew it would take time for him to adjust.I couldn’t help but marvel at Elizabeth’s strength.
Austin had killed her beloved husband, yet she still chose to forgive him for the sake of the overall situation.I couldn’t even imagine how much courage that took.
If I were in her shoes, I doubt I’d be able to forgive him.
Then, to my surprise, Austin bowed before Elizabeth.
He used to be extremely conceited, self-centered, and even narcissistic.
Even though he had grown a bit kinder after his rule was overthrown, I had never expected that he would accept Elizabeth from the bottom of his heart.
But it seemed he finally did accept her.He even called her Mom.
How precious a moment it was! Anthony had once told me the story between his father and Austin.
Austin’s mother was doted on by the previous king, but she died giving birth to Austin.
Before his father remarried Elizabeth, he had been depressed all day long and neglected Austin throughout his formative years.
Although Anthony didn’t explicitly say so, I thought it was probably because of that that Austin and the previous king were always at odds with each other.
Although Austin used to be a hateful man, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
With all of this on my mind, I reached out and comforted the crying Elizabeth.
“Mom, this is a good thing.You’ve reconciled with Austin.Don’t cry!”
“Silly girl, I’m just so happy.”
