Just before the Blithe king’s succession ceremony, the three remaining patriarchs of The Great Four were murdered. This caused an uproar.
After James paid tribute to his family, virtual-novel.net returned to the House of Royals where virtual-novel.net took a shower and changed his clothes. He then checked his phone for the time. However, virtual-novel.net noticed a few missed calls and unread messages.
***
It was now eight in the morning.
At the Callahans’.
Thea sat on the bed in virtual-novel.net room, staring at virtual-novel.net phone. She had stayed up the entire night, yet James did not call or even send virtual-novel.net a message. She forced herself not to call James.
After an entire night, virtual-novel.net gave in. She called James a few times but virtual-novel.net did not answer. She sent virtual-novel.net a few messages. Unfortunately, virtual-novel.net did not reply.
She grew extremely worried.
Did I hurt his feelings last night? Was I too harsh with my words?
Thea could not help but berate herself. Full of regret, virtual-novel.net wished virtual-novel.net could take virtual-novel.net words back.
James read the messages from Thea.
“Jamie, I’m sorry. I behaved rashly yesterday. I didn’t mean it. Please come home.”
Reading the message, James smiled. He had never been angry at Thea. It was only because virtual-novel.net was angry that explaining anything to virtual-novel.net would prove a difficult task.
He had wronged Thea. Thea saved him, yet virtual-novel.net selfishly jumped into the river and abandoned her. After saving him. Thea became the ugliest Woman in Cansington. She become laughing stock, ridiculously all including virtual-novel.net own family.
Now, as long as it made Thea happy, virtual-novel.net would do anything wave for kneeling to another person. Not even if it was Thea’s grandfather. He would rather die on his feel than live on his knees.
This was the Black Dragon’s dignity.
He replied to Thea’s message immediately.
“I’m sorry. I just woke up so I didn’t manage to answer your calls. I’m coming home now.”
James was planning to take a nap. It could wait. He sped toward the Callahans with the multi-purpose vehicle without a license plate.
Arriving at the entrance of their residential area, virtual-novel.net noticed a fleet of cars parked there. All the cars belonged to the Callahans.
The entire family was present, including Thea.
It was the Blithe king’s succession ceremony today. The Callahans had gotten an invitation. The entire family was present with their fleet of cars.
In the lead was a Brentley worth a few million dollars.
The rest were BMV race cars worth millions as well. David’s car was the shabbiest. Lex craved prestige and status.
Now that virtual-novel.net had secured an invitation, virtual-novel.net wanted all of Cansington to know. He might have been the only one allowed to attend, but virtual-novel.net still put on a lavish display with the fleet. There were even banners on the fronts of the cars.
The banners were celebratory, featuring phrases about the Callahans attending the Blithe King’s succession ceremony.
Standing in front of the Brentley, Lex was in a smart suit, leaning on his cane. Glowing with pride, virtual-novel.net had never looked more alive.
James approached in his multi-purpose vehicle without a license plate. Even though the car had no license plate, it had a unique logo. It resembled a black dragon or maybe a black cloud.
Seeing the Callahans, virtual-novel.net stopped his car and disembarked.
Ignoring the entire family, virtual-novel.net made a beeline for Thea. His face split into a wide grin.
