Provoking a Graceful Bloom Novel

Chapter 59 " I don't believe it either , but the Obsidian Monarch hasn't made any demands , so I can't begin to guess what he's after , " Selena said quietly . Where Frederick was visibly worked up , Selena remained calm and composed . " On second thought , Prince Nathaniel does know Prince Elias personally . So , if I learn more about the Dawnmere prince through him , it won't be bad for my family , " she added . " You want to learn about Dawnmere's third prince ? You should come to me . What will others say if you go to Nathaniel for help ? " said Frederick .

The very idea that she would seek help from another man felt like a dagger to his heart . She belonged to him ! If she went to Nathaniel , wasn't she afraid of the gossip that would drown her ? " Why can't I seek help from Prince Nathaniel ? " Selena asked , genuinely puzzled . " You yourself said my family is done for . At a time like this , what's wrong with grabbing hold of a stronger ally ? " " Why not hold onto me ? " Frederick's voice cracked with anger . Selena smiled , almost amused . " Well , at least there's no fearsome lady in charge of Obsidian Estate .

But your household has just that . Why should I hold onto you ? Should I just enter your household and suffer ? " " You- " A sudden laugh burst from Sally , who had been standing quietly nearby , shocking even herself . " I ... I'll bring more tea . " Sally hurried off with the teapot , afraid she'd laugh out loud again . Frederick's face twisted with fury and humiliation . " So , from the very start , you never intended to have a proper conversation with me ! You deceitful woman ! " Selena sighed , a note of helplessness in her voice .

" Your Highness , you've already wasted the time it takes to finish a cup of tea , and yet you blame me ? I told you from the beginning , there's nothing to discuss between us . " " Selena ! " " I know my family is ruined . I've no one left to lean on . " She was tired of saying it . With a flick of her hand , she added , " I'll find another protector . Truly , Your Highness , you need not trouble yourself . You'd only have to go back and swear to your fearsome woman that you didn't lay a finger on me today . " Frederick's face turned a shade of red that was almost unnatural .

Yes , the moment she spoke of clinging to another man , a jealous rage took hold of him like a storm . He never considered that she would find comfort in another man's arms after leaving him ! Never ! " You've been at my side all these years , yet you expect me to believe that another royal prince would want a woman like you ? " Frederick said angrily . Selena smiled softly . " Prince Nathaniel doesn't see it that way . He says that since his face iş ruined , no woman in the world will want him . That's why he wants me to take responsibility for him . " " Nonsense !

" 1/2 Chapter 59 +25 BONUS " If it's nonsense , then why waste your precious time arguing with me ? Surely you're above such foolishness , Your Highness . Frederick ground his teeth in fury . This woman , with her reckless words and stubborn spirit , was truly unbearable . How had he never realized just how insufferable she could be ? " Very well ! If you're set on ruining yourself , I won't stop you . In three days , Dawnmere's third prince will arrive . Then , we'll see how your family's honor holds up in front of the world ! " he snapped .

He had come today hoping to find a way to help her and her brother weather the storm . After all , they had once meant something to each other . But if Selena was truly so ungrateful , then he had no reason to concern himself any longer . He would simply wait . In a few days , she would come to him , begging for help to save her family's reputation . And when that day came , he wouldn't treat her with kindness like he had today . He wanted Selena to know what it felt like to be driven to the edge by sheer anger , to be so consumed by it she could hardly breathe !
