A Decade Of Silence, A Night Of Fire

Synopsis

In the tenth year of my husband Edward Monroe's long business trips, the king finally granted me an audience. I set off in excitement, traveling for three long days to reach his workplace, only to find he already had a new home. Over the past decade, Edward had married two women and fathered three sons and four daughters, while I had been alone in Jevoria, caring for his ailing mother and holding the Monroe family together. When he saw me, his smile froze. His youngest son asked, "Father, who is this lady?" I said nothing and turned back to Jevoria that very night. The palace gates had already closed, so I waited at the entrance and showed the guards my personal seal to prove my identity. That night, when the king heard my story, he flew into a rage and issued two immediate orders. First, Edward and I must divorce. Second, the entire Monroe family was to be arrested.
