"Harriet," Toria began, her voice carrying a mix of weariness and concern, "I know times are hard, but we have to talk about this, we have to just get through and stand on our own two feet on our own."Harriet, lost in the depths of her mourning both for her father and her former luxurious life, looked up with distant eyes, her grief like an invisible shroud around her."I've been thinking," Toria continued, her voice a fragile thread of hope, "maybe Adonis is right, you know. Maybe he didn't do it, it does not even seem like he could ever do it if we think about this properly, a lot of things just do not connect."Harriet's gaze remained fixed, her thoughts di

A Rise to the Throne Chapter 96: His father.
In the hours leading to the upcoming court hearing, Adonis knew there was one crucial piece of the puzzle left to uncover: the identity of Oliver's true father. If Queen Sophia was his mother, and King Archie wasn't his father, then who was?With determination, curiosity and conflict burning in his heart, Adonis rose early one afternoon, fully aware that time was running out. He had a singular purpose in mind.Jesse, ever loyal, offered to accompany him, but Adonis shook his head. " No, I need to do this one alone, Jesse" he insisted.Jesse persisted, "At least take some guards with you then, your highness. It's safer, don’t you think so?"After a moment's consideration, Adonis relented. "Alright, one guard, and my driver then, just to be on the safer side," he conceded.With his resolve unwavering, Adonis set out on this final quest for the truth, the weight of the impending court hearing and the secrets of his family's past pressing heavily on his shoulders.

A Rise to the Throne Chapter 97: The second hearing.

He stammered, "Your Highness, this is... I mean, it's beyond belief."Adonis nodded, a sense of astonishment still fresh in his mind.

"Your Highness, this information could be a game-changer in court. We have a strong case now."Adonis sighed, the weight of his newfound knowledge pressing on him.

A Rise to the Throne Chapter 98: A surprising Turn.
The courtroom was charged with an air of anticipation as the charges against Adonis were read out once more. The prosecuting attorneys were then given the floor to question Adonis, and they wasted no time. "Prince Adonis," the lead prosecutor began, her voice sharp and probing, "is it true that you harbored intentions of revenge against those who mistreated you before you learned of your royal lineage?" Adonis, composed yet tense, met her gaze. "Yes, that is very true," he replied firmly. Adonis's defense attorney, realizing the potentially detrimental path this line of questioning could lead to, swiftly interjected, "Your Honor, I must object. This line of questioning is very much irrelevant to the current case and should not even be asked." The judge, a stern figure at the bench, raised an eyebrow. " There is nothing wrong with the question so I will allow it. Continue," she directed, giving the prosecution the green light to proceed. The defense attorney, now somewhat defeated,
