[Bonus chapter]
"You have finally decided to visit me, hmm?" Charles' lips twisted into a mocking smile when he saw Aurora standing at the door.
"I thought you had quite the pride when you left me to die alone." he forced the glass on the table with pressure that it cracked.
"When your brother betrayed me and snatched my powers. or when Leo, that bastard shunned me saying it was my mistake that his mother died, you all left me alone to die.
But now here you are, begging me to save your uncle, another bastard who is growing his roots in my empire after swallowing another's empire. That snake had betrayed the family that fed him. Do you think such serpents will be loyal to you? How could you be so foolish?" Aurora held her dress tightly and kept bowing her head.
She did not visit him because she knew that he had killed Gavbriella. More than that, her mother was killed but he lied to them all this time.
