Dana’s POV:
For as long as I could remember, the former king had always favored Anthony.
We all had thought that he would be the one to inherit the throne.
We were shocked when we heard the news that Austin had become king.
How did this happen? It was known to all that the former king was partial to Anthony.
This matter always felt strange to us.
Later, Gary and I exchanged thoughts and found that we felt the same way.
It seemed only plausible that the reason why Austin killed the former king on the battlefield was to seize the throne.
It was precisely because the former king had favored Anthony that Austin must’ve felt that he needed to do something
drastic.
If our theory was correct, then everything made sense.
Ever since then, Gary and I had been living our lives in hiding.
Austin ordered his men to hunt us down, probably because he feared his crime would be exposed.
But luck was on our side as we happened to meet Anthony today.
I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement the moment we saw him.
I was a soldier of the Osman Kingdom, after all.
I had sworn loyalty only to the former king, and had witnessed his murder by Austin.
This angered me, yet I was completely helpless.
Years had passed, yet I never stopped hoping for a chance to avenge the former king.
Now, the opportunity was finally here.
I had faith in Anthony.
I had a gut feeling that, as long as we followed his lead, everything would eventually fall into place.
“Mr.Jones, we will do everything in our power to reveal the truth about your father’s death.I hope that Austin will get what he
deserves,” I offered.
Things seemed to be moving in our favor.
Amidst the merry talking, Anthony and I exchanged glances and smiled.
We could tangibly feel each other’s happiness.
While preparations for the party were being made, Anthony picked out a dress for me and asked me to try it on.
After changing into the dress, I walked over to Anthony as elegantly as I could.
He was obviously stunned for a moment.
When he came to his senses, he met me halfway and slipped his arms around my waist.
Leaning over, he whispered in my ear, “My mate is truly the most beautiful girl in the world.You look especially dazzling in that
dress, Jennifer.”
Anthony’s praise made me chuckle with delight.
I kissed him on the lips.
Under the moonlight, we kissed passionately.
We had been very busy these days and hadn’t gotten a chance to be alone in a while now, so I cherished this moment.
“Jennifer, let’s stay here for a little bit longer.”
Anthony put his hand behind my head and kissed me again.
“Okay,”
I said in between breaths.
When we finally pulled away, I said breathlessly, “Congratulations! You’ve finally found witnesses who can back up your claim
against Austin.I hope things go well from here on out.”
