章節 365: The Death of the Cocoon

Since Marcus's birth, his life has been shrouded in shades of gray.

Despite his esteemed status and high level of orc, he couldn't change his circumstances.

Not to mention the kidnapping and experimentation he endured as a child.

Marcus was always mature beyond his years.

He understood that his mother, Lynn, was unhappy within the palace, so he refrained from complaining whenever they had rare encounters.

The same applied to Lynn, who harbored no fondness for Leslie.

Yet, she didn't want her young son to worry, as she herself was trapped in the palace, exploited by the people of the Mermaid Planet, enduring a difficult life.

Thus, both mother and son silently bore their grievances and pain.

At all times, Lynn remained an exceptionally dignified queen.

Marcus, on the other hand, concealed all his joys and sorrows, becoming the emotionless and cold Ninth Prince.

In this manner, Marcus grew up until one day, everything changed.
