“Martin!”

Carmella looked at him in horror as she clutched his hand. She scanned around—there were only a handful of guards in the main hall, and the two attendants were close to her.

She asked for everyone else to be dismissed, leaving her and Martin in the hall.

Carmella took a deep breath and told him softly, “I know that you feel guilty toward Helene, but the reality is as such. We have no other choice! Keeping her in the west palace for a peaceful rest and using the best medicine on her all these years are the best we can do for her!

“Besides, with what happened back then… she won’t ascend to this throne.”

Martin jolted, the past vaguely replaying in his mind.

Among the royal family siblings, he was the closest to Helene. He remembered that Helene had been intelligent, beautiful, and capable growing up. She was a noble and elegant princess to the others, but she turned into a cute and playful girl in front of her brother.

There was a stretch of beach outside the palace. It was Martin and Helene’s secret place.

The siblings would go there every day after school, taking off their shoes and chasing after waves barefoot. The seagulls would roam free in the sunset, and their laughter would echo throughout the beach. Sometimes, Helene would hop onto Martin when tired and ask him to walk carrying her.
