Chapter 69
Third Person
I lost the challenge and my title was handed over to Marco. I had to control myself after that because he marked my mate as soon as he assumed the throne. I was planning on getting her back and everything that he took from me, but I had no one to back me up. Everyone was siding with my father although they didn’t like Marco, but for the simple reason that he was not the first born. I tried to gather some alliances within the palace but I failed. They believed Marco and after a few more weeks he already had their loyalty. I lay low before I left the palace. I became a rogue and even if I was alone, no one dared to get their hands on me since they felt that I am strong.
Driven by my anger, I tried to gain alliances outside the palace. I managed to get a spy inside and he reported everything to me. I didn’t know that I would be able to get his support though. I didn’t know why he decided to help me as well. But I am thankful that he did, because if not for him, I wouldn’t have been able to discover the most important part of my life, Matteo. He is mine. So I conducted this plot to make sure that I would be able to get to him.
“Thank you for siding with me,” I told Rapha.
“The previous queen gave me this mission. She has endured so much with Marco and this is the only thing I can do for her.” he replied, “Just make sure that what you are doing is for the palace as well and I am going to protect Matteo and his future mate at all costs.” he added.
