Blood Contract

Being repeatedly told that her soldiers' death and how she almost died was related to one of her elder brothers pained her deeply.

She might act cold, but she still treated them as her siblings.

And never once did she express her intention of joining the fight for the throne.

Yet, none of that matter and her silence was still treated as a threat from her own blood-related brothers.

How could that not pain her heart dearly?

Alas, her sudden outburst meant nothing to Chris as he continued his persuasion.

"By this time, you should have already realized that other than becoming the next Queen, the Yors Castle would go downhill." Chris calmly said.

He knew that Kate had long understood this matter which is why she had overreacted.

For someone that only had loyalty to Yors Castle and its prosperity, announcing her fight to the throne would be deemed as power-hungry.
