Regarding Isabelle Willow’s true identity, neither Jude Crawford nor Hayden Crawford were aware, and now Serena Sterling tells them that Isabelle Willow is the long-lost princess of Westria.
Jude Crawford immediately pressed his thin lips, the fifty-year-old man’s deep demeanor showing no emotions, making it hard to discern his thoughts.
Hayden Crawford furrowed his handsome sword-like brows, "Serena, are you serious?"
Serena Sterling’s bright eyes gazed at Hayden Crawford and nodded, "It’s true, Mr. Crawford, not only does royal Westrian blood flow through your veins, but your blood is the noble blood of Westria for a hundred years, possessing the noble blood that embodies the true dragon of Westria, destined to reign over the world in the future."
With these words, the entire room fell silent, clearly indicating that the situation had developed beyond normal expectations.
At this moment, Jude Crawford spoke softly, "Hayden, first go to The Manor of the Ninth Spire and bring your mother back."
Everyone went to The Manor of the Ninth Spire, which had long been prepared, and the butler inside respectfully welcomed everyone.
In the living room, Isabelle Willow was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, accompanied by Axel Ashworth, who showed respectful gestures with his brow and eyes.
"Mom." Hayden Crawford walked in.
Isabelle Willow quickly stood up, "Hayden, you’re here."
Hayden Crawford took Isabelle Willow’s hand, protecting his mother behind him, and raised his deep and narrow eyes to look at Axel Ashworth, "The King of Nine Peaks, why did you secretly bring my mother here? You should explain this properly to me."
Axel Ashworth waved his hand with a smile, "Mr. Crawford, please don’t misunderstand, I just invited aunt to have a cup of tea."
"Yes, surely Mr. Crawford doesn’t know, your mother is my father’s sister, and is none other than the distinguished princess of Westria, of course, I must call her aunt. Speaking of which, Mr. Crawford and I are actually brothers, and I must address Mr. Crawford as elder brother." Saying this, Axel Ashworth took out a DNA paternity test document.
Serena Sterling looked at the DNA paternity test document, with a light smile, "It seems the King of Nine Peaks truly works swiftly."
Axel Ashworth had started suspecting Serena Sterling ever since the death of the old nurse, and it turned out his suspicion was well-founded, Serena Sterling had long known Hayden Crawford’s background but had kept it hidden.
"No matter how fast I am, I cannot be faster than the Princess of Alani." Axel Ashworth said with a meaningful tone.
Serena Sterling raised her delicate willow brows and did not continue the topic, "Then we won’t disturb the King of Nine Peaks any longer, and we will take Aunt Willow back."
"Aunt," Axel Ashworth quickly called out to Isabelle Willow, "you are our Westrian princess, why not stay in my Manor of the Ninth Spire for now, you can move to the royal princess residence of Westria another day."
Isabelle Willow halted, looking at Axel Ashworth, she wanted to speak, but before she could, there was a low, magnetic voice already reaching her ear first, "We appreciate the King of Nine Peaks’ kindness, but besides being the Westrian princess, Willow is also my wife, now I want to take her home."
Isabelle Willow looked up, her gaze landing on Jude Crawford.
Jude Crawford wore a simple black shirt and black trousers, a fifty-year-old man with abundant life experience and a commanding presence from his time steering the business world, his words were irrefutable. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nove1Fire.net
Jude Crawford strode forward, came to her side, then extended his big hand to hold hers, ready to take her home.
Axel Ashworth looked at Jude Crawford, nodded, "Alright then, let’s listen to uncle."
Jude Crawford took Isabelle Willow’s hand and directly led her away.
Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling were also planning to leave, at which point Axel Ashworth spoke, "Mr. Crawford, please stay, I have some words to say to you."
Hayden Crawford paused.
Serena Sterling was not surprised; now that Axel Ashworth had learned of Hayden Crawford’s background, he surely had things to discuss with Hayden Crawford, and to guard against her.
"Then you two have your talk, I’ll head out first." Serena Sterling smiled.
Hayden Crawford nodded and whispered, "Wait for me outside, we’ll go home together."
"Okay." Serena Sterling left.
Serena Sterling left, and Hayden Crawford looked at Axel Ashworth, "The King of Nine Peaks, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"If I’m not mistaken, the Princess of Alani should have already told you your heritage beforehand, Mr. Crawford, your blood possesses the noble blood, and you are the true ruler of Westria."
"Doesn’t Mr. Crawford wish to ascend to the supreme position and reign over the world?"
Hayden Crawford shook his head, "Never thought about it, and don’t want to."
Axel Ashworth stood beside Hayden Crawford, he slowly opened a scroll painting, which depicted the entire map of The State of Westria, "Mr. Crawford, please look, the development of Westria hasn’t been good over the years, especially in the past twenty years under my father’s rule where several large families have successively rebelled, with the people suffering, displaced, many years ago a wandering monk prophesied that the true ruler of Westria is about to emerge and he will end this chaotic world, leading us to peace and prosperity."
Hayden Crawford looked at the splendid landscape in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
"Mr. Crawford, there’s one more thing, there’s a national feud between Westria and Alani. Back then, Alani’s ancestors dyed the rivers with blood, and the waters there still aren’t washed clean, so Mr. Crawford could have many women, a harem of beauties, but Serena Sterling, the Princess of Alani, cannot, it is absolutely impossible for you in this lifetime."
Listening to these words, Hayden Crawford’s thin lips curled into a mocking and cold arc, "If I can’t, can you?"
Axel Ashworth was momentarily stunned.
Hayden Crawford strode off.
At this time Rosalind Newman came out and whispered, "The King of Nine Peaks, do you think Hayden Crawford will ascend to the throne?"
Axel Ashworth nodded with certainty, "He will, because the noble blood flows in his veins, and Westria is his destiny."
"The King of Nine Peaks, are you...with the Princess of Alani?" Rosalind Newman hesitated to say, since what happened at The Manor of the Ninth Spire last time was still vivid.
Axel Ashworth, after many years on the battlefield, trivial Bewitching Techniques should not be enough to move him, truly what moves people...might only be that person.
Axel Ashworth pressed his lips, "Don’t mention this topic again in the future."
Rosalind Newman watched Axel Ashworth’s departing figure, she sighed inwardly, Westria and Alani are too deeply connected, back then Westria’s ancestors let Alani’s ancestors die with hatred on the bloody day, leaving a prophecy when Alani’s ancestor died, that a century later Alani will have a girl who will be breathtaking.
This girl is Serena Sterling, and the princes of the Westrian royal family have lost their hearts to her, falling deeply in love with her.
Unfortunately, there’s this deep vendetta separating them, where will Alani’s girl place her love?
