[Bonus chapter]Theron's Unsaid Suffering

After the bad rumours about the Second Prince vanished, the Little Dray started to grow up under the care of his mother. King Theron was always busy with his palace work and never even once visited the Queen's palace during those times. 

It was the same with the First Prince. Little Keiran, now a toddler, was raised within the Vermillion Palace, pampered by the First Concubine, yet he was also devoid of his father's love and care. 

The King never visited any of his wife's chambers and neither did he show love and affection to any of his sons apart from just asking about them and their well-being. 

Two years passed quietly like that.

Inside the open veranda connected to the drawing room of the Crystal Palace, King Theron and Great Lady Theodora could be seen sitting, leisurely drinking tea. The King found time to visit his mother, rearranging his busy schedule for the day. 

The topic of their conversation gradually turned to his sons.
