Chapter 126: Karma's Gift

"Are you going to just stand here and let him take her away?" Afraid of raising her voice, Claire whispered harshly to her brother who only watched his step-brother's figure retreat without stopping him, but that wasn't what bothered Eamon in the slightest. The reaction he got wasn't the reaction he expected.

He personally had no intention of hurting the maiden, rather he had developed a certain fondness for her and wanted to make the order that they release her, but when his Mother told him she was Ivan's woman– his bride-to-be, he got furious at the news. Since having her wasn't going to be possible unless he became King, he decided to punish her further in an attempt to aggravate Ivan into showing some violence before the crowd, but in the end, all he did was take the servant away without any exchange of words.

Eamon saw absolutely nothing good in his silence.
