The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 299 [Evelyn's POV] The King was not pleased. He hadn't exactly made any retorting remarks or final statements that would essentially prove the idea; however, his. actions said it all. The moment the judge had given his final statement and slammed the gavel down on the bench, Gregory had gotten up from his seat and left the room. He hadn't stopped to give his customary opinions or comments. He hadn't even bothered to pay any acknowledgment to Alexander and me. The man simply made himself scarce.

It was questionable, although | couldn't blame his decision to escape and avoid the sea of reporters that were currently waiting beyond the front doors That was the second thing that kept my nerves on edge. Dealing with the press. Ever since I was caught weaning Alexander's old mask while coming out of the palace, every news outlet in the region had been dying for an official story. They'd been persistently patient with me and | knew well enough that their patience had run its ---- course.

1 | kind of wish that a few reports had been let into the courtroom while | was explaining the entire story from the beginning just so | wouldn't have to relive it all over again. Nonetheless, Oliver had already assured me that he would help me prepare for any type of interview | was willing to give when the time came. Alexander curled his around my shoulders and led us toward the main doors. | could already hear the growing buzz of the reporters and journalists. My heart leaped into my throat. "You ready for this?" he asked. "Not really," | said lightly.

"But it's not like we can avoid them forever." He offered a supportive smile. "Remember. Only tell them what you're comfortable with." The doors opened and the two of us were swept up ina sea of people and flashing cameras. "Mrs. Kingston!" "Mrs. Kingston, over here!" "We just heard the final verdicts, how do you feel?" My eyes were already burning from the ongoing camera flashes ---- and there were at least half a dozen microphones shoved in my face. "Honestly? | feel relieved," | said. "Both Fiona and Isabella have been a threat to my family and the public for a very long time.

It's just taken us so long to get the evidence we needed in order to prove it." "Do you believe that they should have received a harsher penalty given the severity of their crimes?" one of them asked. "tt is not up to me to decide what sort of punishment Fiona or lsabella deserve. My only concern was that they wouldn't be able to do any further harm." Thank God Alexander kept his hand on the small of my back, otherwise, | was certain to be swept up in the crowd. Either that or | was going to likely faint.

Now that the court case was over, all the trembling emotions I'd been storing for the last couple of weeks were finally dissipating, leaving me tired and awfully drained. The crowd turned their attention toward Alexander who was more than ready to answer a question or two. "Mr. Kingston! What are your thoughts about today's proceedings?" one of the reporters asked. Alexander stood tall as he addressed the large group. ---- "Much like my wife, | feel relieved. This has not been an easy time for anyone, especially her.

To think that it was her own family who not only attempted to end her own life but the life of her brother is truly despicable. It just goes to show you that evil comes in many forms. Fiona, a registered and trained doctor, is capable of butchering an innocent person. Isabella, a mother, was out to kill her own Stepson to enhance her own status. Anyone is capable of evil, even the ones that stand in high power."
