Chapter 298

She walked into court gracefully. Fully dressed in her formal princess attire, she looked radiant. There were no visible marks on her skin, no signs of bruises. Or pain.

Her eyes shone brightly, filled with life, and on her lips was a wide, unshaken smile.

Not a single person stirred as she paused to bow gracefully to the assembled court, before she crossed the floor and ascended the dais, coming to a stop beside the grand king.

Then…kissed him.

Not a peck nor even a heavy indecent display, the kiss was light. Yet screamed intimate.

Free of tongue or theatrics, but every bit as charged with passion as if they were alone.

“That is untrue!” The words ripped from his throat. So angry his vision turned red. “HOW DARE YOU stand before this council and lie to us?!”

“Oh,” Emeriel gasped, covering her mouth in sheer exasperation. “How dare you make such ridiculous claims against your grand king?”

Zaiper could not believe this.
