Chapter 91 Caelum

• “This completely changes the situation, Your Majesty,” Finn declares, surprise evident in his voice. There’s also concern, something he tries to mask but fails to hide in every word.
• “I know. That’s why I need you to expedite the annulment of my marriage. I need to marry Aria as soon as possible. My children’s safety depends on it,” I state impatiently, making it clear that my tolerance is running thin.
• My voice reverberates off the walls, echoing like thunder. The counselors’ eyes follow me as I pace back and forth, unable to contain the restless energy coursing through me. The anger I feel toward Aria still burns, even though part of me wishes it didn’t. The fury grows with every passing second, like a wildfire consuming everything in its path. My fists clench, and every muscle in my body tightens. The image of Aria, with that defiant look in her eyes, invades my thoughts. How can she be so stubborn? How dare she challenge me to the point of forbidding me from bringing my children to the castle? Worse, forbidding me from seeing them? I am the king. She has no right.
