Chapter 219: Uncertain Feelings Chapter 219: Uncertain Feelings Was it the first time Somto led the army into battle and returned victorious, carrying the weight of a kingdom’s defense on his back as if it were nothing?
Or was it the time when king Ikechukwu had fallen gravely ill, and in his absence, his son had taken command without hesitation, ruling with a firm but steady hand?
Perhaps it was when Somto had started vanishing for months, sometimes even years, without a trace, only to return stronger, more formidable, his rank mysteriously elevated each time.
No one knew what he was doing during those absences, but whatever it was, it had changed him.
Or maybe… maybe it was when Ikechukwu realized that his son was not dependent on his royal allowance.
Unlike most crown princes, Somto had sources of wealth and power that no one could trace, a supply that seemed to come from an entirely different world.
Yes.
Somewhere along the way, his son had become something more than just a prince.
Something greater.
Something… dangerous.
But Ikechukwu was still the king.
He would not let it show.
He straightened in his seat, meeting Somto’s sharp, unreadable gaze.
The air between them was thick with tension, the weight of unspoken power pressing down on them both.
“You need to be engaged at this age,” the king said, his voice steady despite the slight shift in his pulse.
“By the time you ascend the throne, whenever that may be, you will need a queen by your side.
And the sooner you get along with your betrothed and start securing heirs, the better.” Somto’s face remained expressionless.
King Ikechukwu continued, choosing his words carefully.
“If you don’t like the girl I selected for you, that’s fine.
You may choose another.
It doesn’t have to be her.” He leaned forward slightly, his voice lowering.
“But she must be from a first tier kingdom.
We are one of the most powerful kingdoms on this continent, and any noblewoman would be honored to be engaged to you.
