Chương 69: BROKEN VOW

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: MIRROR ~ DaNTe]

Khelan rubbed his hand on his hair, making it to look disheveled. He walked back and forth, cursing under his breath. He had already told his guards to stop anyone from coming inside his room.

The news about the maid having his child had already spread across the palace, so he couldn't deny it. He did not have the confidence to face his mother and, most especially, his wife, Larel.

"How dare you stop me from going inside!" The queen dowager, who was also stopped from entering inside the room, reprimanded the guards in a harsh tone. Khelan turned to look at the door where the noise was coming from. He knew that he had to face his family no matter how long he tried to hide.

He finally stepped outside of his room; standing there was the queen dowager, Larel who looked at him sadly, and Bareea who bowed her face down in shame.
