Undressed by the Half-beast King
#completed!!! In her second life, I want Sophia to choose the path she desires and live well and happily," Ragnar said to Adeline, who immediately burst into tears. "Then... what about you, Your Highness?" Adeline asked. Ragnar only smiled. “This is enough for me.” Among the many forms of love, Adeline had to witness the most genuine and sacrificial kind. That was, letting go. ~~~ What if, in truth, I was the cause of her suffering? What if my actions were the source of her pain? Perhaps it was time for me to let her go. There was nothing to be done. I must bear this burden alone. — Ragnar Clementine ~~~ And what if I choose these burdens? What if I choose you, every time, no matter how many lives I have? — Sophia ~~~ #war #kingdombuilding #secondchancelove #politics #multiplecouple #mutant #diplomacy #heartwarming This is the Sequel of: - Undressed by The Half-beast Prince (completed at Chapter 224).

The Tax Debt Settlement
"The notion of 'justice' under your rule seems to conveniently align with filling your treasury," Sophia retorted sharply.
"Oh, that's quite the sharp remark, Your Highness," Vicar chuckled. "But of course, the royal treasury must be well-protected for the sake of the kingdom's sovereignty."
"Of course, without sacrificing your people. And it also depends on how you utilize the tax revenue you collect—whether it's for the prosperity of all your people or just a privileged few. Prime Minister, as leaders, both His Majesty King Ragnar and I must consider the well-being of these individuals in your list who, I remind you, have not violated any of our laws."
Ragnar interjected, "We are willing to discuss their cases individually, but we will not simply hand over people who have come to us for protection."
