Kapitel 503: Mistaking As Esther

Theron didn't see Drayce leaving with his grandmother, but he didn't need to see it with his own eyes to know they were no longer in the Grand Palace. Knowing his mother's temper, she wouldn't even delay for an hour to bring the little prince to her own residence. 

'They probably left now…'

Once again, Theron felt the pain of loss— he had failed his son, the only one that belonged to his beloved. 

Though it was his own decision to send Drayce away, it hurt him the same way when Esther left him. 

The next few days passed by in a blur for the King. During the day, Theron would carry out his royal duties to the kingdom, and at night, he would drown himself in alcohol. His health was already not fine due to the month-long expedition he spent searching for his wife and now it had started to deteriorate due to him neglecting his well-being.
