Chapter 852


    “Martin!”


    Carme looked at him in horror as she clutched his hand. She scanned around—there were only a


    handful of guards in the main hall, and the two attendants were close to her.

    She asked for everyone else to be dismissed, leaving her and Martin in the hall.


    Carme took a deep breath and told him softly, “I know that you feel guilty toward Helene, but the


    reality is as such. We have no other choice! Keeping her in the west pce for a peaceful rest and


    using the best medicine on her all these years are the best we can do for her!


    “Besides, with what happened back then… she won’t ascend to this throne.”


    Martin jolted, the past vaguely reying in his mind.


    Among the royal family siblings, he was the closest to Helene. He remembered that Helene had been


    intelligent, beautiful, and capable growing up. She was a noble and elegant princess to the others, but


    she turned into a cute and yful girl in front of her brother.


    There was a stretch of beach outside the pce. It was Martin and Helene’s secret ce.


    The siblings would go there every day after school, taking off their shoes and chasing after waves


    barefoot. The seagulls would roam free in the sunset, and theirughter would echo throughout the


    beach. Sometimes, Helene would hop onto Martin when tired and ask him to walk carrying her.


    “Helene, when you find a boyfriend next time, you have to find someone who can carry you like I do,


    you hear me?”


    “Hmm… And if I can’t find one?”


    “That’s impossible! My sister has both the looks and the talent—and the wealth of the whole of


    Southeast Aciatic. Which man wouldn’t like you?”


    “Martin, if I can’t find one, I’ll stay in the pce forever, and you’ll carry me forever, okay?”


    Martinughed and nodded. “Okay!”


    It was just unexpected that their joke at that time became a prophecy.


    Helene had ended up really staying in the pce forever, but her brother, who had promised to carry


    her forever, never did carry her again…


    “Martin? Martin!” Carme could not help but worry when she saw him in a daze and gave him a shove.


    “Did you hear what I said!?”


    “I know.” Martin snapped back to reality and turned to leave.


    “Where are you going?”


    “I…” Martin bit his lips and uttered with much difficulty. “I want my tickets booked. I want to go to


    Melorian!”


    “You…” Carme could not believe that he was saying this again.


    A few years ago, he had visited Melorian, but the trip had been in vain. She had been under the


    impression that he had given up, and neither of them had brought it up again.


    Now…


    “Your Majesty, think this through! That child might not even be in Melorian anymore. Besides, if you do


    find her, can she reunite with Helene? What help does it do to Helene’s state?Books Chapters Are

    “Doing this will only destroy everything… Your throne will be ruined, and Helene might not get better


    either. As for the child, she might be living a good life now. Why would you disrupt her peace?”


    Martin halted in his steps. His slightly hunched back was stiff and tensed while his facial muscles


    twitched slightly.


    Carme lowered her tone. “Martin, don’t be blinded by your emotions. Even if we didn’t do that back


    then, your mother wouldn’t have forgiven Helene! That child could never be kept in the pce!


    “It’s already a huge taboo of the royal family for her to give birth out of wedlock. We sent the child away


    to protect the royal family! We didn’t do anything wrong!”


    Martin was silent for a beat before he suddenly snickered. “Yeah, when have you ever thought you’re


    wrong?”


    “Martin…”


    “That child couldn’t be kept in the pce, but where did you send her to?” Martin’s eyes were


    bloodshot as he stared at Carme. “You left her in a slum in Melorian!”


    Carme choked on her breaths as her hands and feet went cold.


    Martin said through his gritted teeth, “And you kept it from me for so many years! You said that you


    gave the child to a pair ofwyers! You lied to me!”


    As Martin took step after step closer, Carme abruptly found her back against the cold pce wall.


    Her knees gave out, and she fell to the floor kneeling.


    The incident was a knot in their hearts, but Martin could only keep it buried deep within him all these


    years for the benefit of the bigger picture.


    Today, however, the scene where Helene ran out with disheveled hair frightened him and awakened


    the conscience hidden deep in his heart. His emotions blew up like an erupting volcano.


    He remembered that the day the child was born, it was a brilliant sunny day. Helene had said that her


    name meant shining light and was a moon of Saturn, so she named her child something that


    represented the sun.


    The shining moon and golden sun together were as if their mother and daughter bond, never to be


    separated.


    Yet, Carme had left the little bundle of sun across the ocean, and Martin as Helene’s elder brother


    had sadly agreed to such a decision…
