Schedule: Monday and Friday

Chapter 116

***

The carriage departed Fleurose’s royal palace and traveled for some time before reaching the outskirts. Guards at the gate recognized the approaching carriage and opened the entrance. The carriage passed through the walls and stopped before the manor house.

“Your Highness.”

A voice greeted Enrique as he stepped out. It was Violet, standing before the manor. He frowned in mock disapproval, but his smile was bright as he saw his partner.

“Violet, why are you out here? I told you to stay in bed.” Enrique’s gentle scolding couldn’t hide his pleasure at being met. He opened his arms, and Violet embraced him. They had had to keep their distance due to Violet’s pregnancy, but now they could hold each other close.

“How could I stay inside when you’re arriving?”

“That’s not important. Your recovery is.”

“I’m fine. I’m perfectly healthy now.”

“I’m glad to hear that, but…” Enrique trailed off, stroking Violet’s back before glancing at the maid standing behind them, or rather, the baby she held.

“He’s really opening his eyes now.” Enrique extended his hands, and the maid placed the baby in his arms. Despite his awkward hold, the baby nestled contentedly, looking directly at him. Enrique smiled.

“Yes, I’m your father.”

Violet had given birth to Enrique’s child three days prior in this manor, which Enrique had provided for her confinement and postpartum recovery. Unlike the perpetually cool royal palace of Fleurose, nestled between mountains and a river, this manor on the plains was always warm, a more suitable environment for Violet and the child.

Providing a separate manor for his omega’s confinement was so unprecedented that it had caused quite a stir in the palace. Some criticized the crown prince for being un-alpha-like, while others envied Violet for the lavish treatment. Still others condemned her as a temptress, manipulating the prince. But these whispers never reached Violet, secluded as she was.

“He’s the spitting image of Mother. Excellent.” Enrique gazed at the baby’s violet eyes, a pleased smile on his face.

Amethyst eyes were the symbol of Fleurose’s royal family. Not every monarch had possessed them, but since the previous king had, they were considered a mark of pure royal blood.

Enrique had always been self-conscious about his own grey eyes. The fact that Arlenrose, the omega disgrace of the royal family, had inherited the violet eyes instead of him, fueled his resentment towards his younger sibling.

He was immensely satisfied that his child had been born with amethyst eyes. He didn’t resemble him, but it was far better that the child resembled the current king.

“We should be able to tell which elemental power he possesses soon.” Enrique spoke expectantly, referring to the blessings of the spirits that empowered the royal family of Fleurose. Violet, as if waiting for the question, quickly replied.

“Oh, about that. It’s already manifested.”

“Already? Which spirit?”

“Fire.”

“….” Enrique’s smile froze.
