Chapter 502
She dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief, her delicate sobs painting a picture of vulnerable beauty
Alexandra lovingly patted the back of her hand and declared, “As long as I’m here, the position of Mrs. Cavendish will be yours and yours alone
Kendra whimpered, “But Prince Xander doesn’t care for me at all. Why should i keep humiliating myself like this!”
Alexandra reassured Kendra, “Who says he doesn’t care for you? He’s merely been bewitched by that woman. Just stay put and don’t dwell on it.”
Only after much coaxing from Alexandra did Kendra finally, albeit reluctantly, agree to stay
Xander was slipping from her grasp, sending Alexandra into a fury.

Right now, Winona, the Queen, was the only one who might sway the King, but she and Alexandra had long been an unfriendly terms.
Back when they were both imperial consorts, they had fiercely competed for the title of queen.

Now, they were the fire and water, sworn enemies whose hatred only fared hotter each time they crossed paths
The idea of Winona lifting a finger to help her was absurd. That would happen only when hell froze over
With a weary sigh, Alexandra sank into her rosewood armchair, her temples pulsing with pain.
Were it not for Winona’s powerful kin, Arthur would never have claimed the crown, Xander was more gifted in every way. He was never meant to live in another man’s shadow

Thanatus understood what Arthur was getting at. He was undoubtedly contemplating the matter of Xander and Athena. When Xander had previously come to the palace, he used his military accomplishments to request a marriage decree Arthur, thinking it a momentary impulse, gave a verbal agreement but deliberately withheld the official decree. Now, after hearing what took place at Alexandra’s birthday celebration, his thoughts on the matter were beginning to shit.
It was clear now: Xander was genuinely fond of that woman
