The Cursed Prince - Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018 Draco Roseland's Box

Rowena looked at the box for a moment, before she smiled and reached out her hands to receive it. Even though she actually didn't want to accept the box, anything at all that had her father's trace on it, she decided not to make a scene and give face to her mother-in-law.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," she said with her gentle voice.

The queen nodded in satisfaction when she saw Rowena keep the box by her side. She said, "The box is a special box that can only be opened by people who share the same blood as the owner. So, it's of no use to anyone. None of us here can open it. But you can."

The queen added, "I don't know if you would like to have whatever it is that your late father left, but I didn't want to make an assumption and throw it out before I can give you the chance to look at what's inside and make your decision. There might be items that are valuable or important to you."

"Oh..." Rowena batted her eyes. Her perception of the queen immediately changed. She was initially disappointed by Queen Lilith for giving her the box that belonged to her evil father, thinking the queen didn't care much to find out that Rowena hated her father.

However, now she understood that her mother-in-law was just doing what she thought was the right thing to do. And for this, she was grateful. Now, would Rowena be interested in checking what's inside the box before she threw it? Maybe not. Still, she would just take the box and keep it with her until she could go home and decide on what to do with it. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty," said Rowena. The queen waved her hand and smiled. She proceeded to introduce the ladies around her to Rowena and then they all had tea together while discussing some people and events around the capital.

Rowena's mind wandered around, even though her body was with them and she could always show a polite demeanor and fake looking interested. She appreciated the queen's gesture to invite her to the royal palace and introduce her to other people. However, by then, Rowena realized she didn't like meeting people.

Who was he talking to? Rowena was wondering. She got up from bed and walked to the windows to look outside. Rowena was surprised to see a beautiful woman with light blue hair hugging Raphael, and her eyes were filled with tears.

She stepped back unconsciously and watched the scene with anger in her heart. Who was that woman and why did Raphael let her hug him? Rowena wanted to go out of the room and scolded the impudent woman, but she managed to hold back.

She must not embarrass Raphael in front of other people by acting like a jealous wife. "I'm sorry..." Nymia was sobbing as she gripped her hands in Raphael's arms. "I have been keeping this to myself for a long time, and it's eating me from the inside. You are my first love and I need to get it out of my chest. I have to make peace with myself and accept the fact that you have chosen another woman to become your wife."

She looked so broken that Raphael didn't have the heart to push her away. When Nymia came to visit with their other friends, Raphael already noticed her sadness. She didn't look like her usual happy self.

After the others finally went home, Nymia asked if she could see him for a moment. Since they were friends and Raphael didn't have any problem with Nymia, he said yes.

He was very surprised to see Nymia suddenly confess her love to him. To him, it was out of the blue. However, now that he thought of it, he realized he was just very insensitive to her feelings and didn't pay attention. All the signs were there.

He stood there in silence, looking surprised, watching Nymia pour her heart out. Nymia explained she was caught off guard when Raphael returned home with a wife.

She honestly thought Raphael would get over his feelings for a mortal and one day realized that he was too good for Rowena. So, seeing him with Rowena made Nymia feel upset.

"I'm not too good for my wife," Raphael said coldly. "You are very wrong."
