Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

King wore his heart on his sleeve, pouring his emotions into everything he did. When he liked something, it was as if every strand of his hair joined in chorus to express his feelings. The Lynches, especially Desiree, were no fools-they had weathered life's storms and could see right through him. But it was this raw honesty that endeared him to the older generation, who had grown weary of deceit and coldness over the years.

Desiree's nod of approval was a big deal, and nobody dared to challenge it.

Brielle glanced at her grandmother, noticing a significant lift in her spirits, her eyes brimming with fondness for King. Somehow, Brielle felt her own nerves settling too.

Initially, stepping into the Lynch household for dinner had her on edge, but now she relaxed completely, even chatting with Raymond about the royal family's recent endeavors. His calm demeanor added to the cozy atmosphere.

After dinner, Sarah brought out a dessert that Desiree had perfected-a sweet concoction that had everyone cozying up on the couch. King couldn't stop praising it, showering Desiree with compliments that made her beam with pride.

As they were leaving, Desiree held

onto King's hand, insisting he return with Brielle. The image of Desiree, supported by Dustin, still chuckling with joy as they retreated inside, stayed with Brielle as she rode back home. She noticed the man beside her playfully flaunting a ring on his thumb, his joy evident.

Back at the castle, after a soothing bath, Brielle felt a pair of arms envelop her, leading to an inescapable kiss. A bit tipsy from the wine at the Lynches', she found herself unable to resist, her earlier apprehension melting away in the moment's intensity. King, holding her close, alternated his gaze between the ring in his hand and her face, wishing time could stand still.

Arthur, with a cold expression and a cynical laugh, proposed the Lynch family as the deal scapegoat, citing their withdrawal from supporting North American educational initiatives as a breach of loyalty. However, the complication of the
