The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1668

"What are you doing, Nina? Who told you to teach her such things?” A frantic Kurt lost his temperupon seeing them and yelled at the little girl.

That caught Nina's attention.

“Kurt?”

Her face turned pale as she dropped her chicken drumstick on the ground. Thud!

Vivian was at a loss for words.

Kurt is her brother?

She followed the little girl's gaze, only to stumble upon Kurt's charming yet gloomy face.

Thud!

She stopped her chicken drumstick too.

Oh no.

A few minutes later, Nina was taken back to the palace by a few royal guards.

Meanwhile, Vivian, whose hands were still full of grease, remained standing before everyone else.She was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

“Did you not have enough to eat during the feast, Princess Vivian?” The chief interrupted her beforeshe could explain anything. “Why did you still do such a thing with Princess Nina?"

Vivian didn't know what else to say.

She glanced at a furious-looking Kurt. Her lips twitched slightly before she finally decided to speakto him. “Was that your sister? So, you've rescued them?” She felt happy for him.

Yet, Kurt scoffed in response.

"Did you do that on purpose, Princess? Did you come over knowing she'd be here? What are you upto? Were you trying to get close to Nina just so you could continue to stick around and bother me?”From those words, an initially sheepish Vivian turned to him sharply as though something had justtriggered her. Now, she was filled with disbelief, anger, and humiliation.

Bother him? Did he really just say that?

Her eyes slowly reddened.

She then took out the bracelet she had made for him, flung it to the ground, and ran off.

What a meanie! I'm never going to forgive him!

Her actions weren't too surprising. Her parents had doted on her ever since she was born. Howcould she ever tolerate such humiliation?

She was their rarest gem, the most precious flower in the world.

The thought of her being a nuisance was too much for her to handle.

Vivian stayed away from that day on.

Back in the royal court, the king had returned and was in the midst of a discussion about Kurt'sfuture empress with a trusted aide. Just as he was considering adding Vivian to the list ofcandidates, he stopped writing upon hearing what had happened.

“You're saying Kaiden humiliated her?”

"Yes, Your Majesty. She was found causing some trouble with Princess Nina. They stole someone'schicken and ate it. Prince Kurt was livid and chased her away after he reprimanded her harshly onthe spot,” an officer reported.

“In that case, Your Majesty, perhaps we would be better off not including her,” the aide suggested.“We brought this matter up so suddenly that we don't even know if the Jadesons will approve, butnow that even Prince Kurt doesn't like her, I suppose we really shouldn't consider her anymore.”The king fell silent for a moment.

Alas, he put his pen down regrettably.

He truly wanted this marriage to happen. These are the Jadesons we're talking about, a family with apopulation of over ten thousand in the country! How advantageous it would be for Elysium to jointhem through marriage!

They're practically royalty.

After the foreign businessmen had left happily, the chief returned only to replace that Kurt hadn't comeout ever since returning to Agarwood Pavilion.

Even Nina had returned after being punished, although she was kept downstairs. For the entirenight, a depressing atmosphere surrounded Agarwood Pavilion. It was as though the whole placewas shrouded by a thick, dark fog.

Lucy also came over in the middle of the night.

Standing at the foot of the stairs, she noticed there was not a single sound or any lights from aboveHowever, she detected a pungent stench of blood, causing her expression to turn harrow.

The woman immediately climbed up one of the towers.

The closer she was to that room, the stronger the scent, and the more panic-stricken she became.After dashing over, she barged right into the room. “Prince Kurt? Prince—"

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp object came flying in her direction.

Unable to hide, Lucy frantically bent over her back. It was rather surprising that a frail young womanlike her had managed to narrowly evade the weapon.

Crack!

With a bone-chilling sound, a sharp dagger landed an inch deep into the windowpane behind Lucy.The woman broke out in a cold sweat.

"D-Don't be afraid, Kurt. I'm just here to give you some medicine. The poisonous bugs are acting upagain, aren't they? Don't worry. I have something that will help!” she called out to him, her voicetrembling.

While assuring the young man in the dark, Lucy began to walk toward him.

She wasn't sure if the silence was because the poisonous bugs had taken over or because Kurt nolonger had the energy to move after throwing that dagger.

Regardless, the young woman held her breath and slowly lifted the drapes.q
