The Majestic Heir Chapter 26 - The Master Healer
Click!"You've killed my soldiers and innocent people, yet you can still act so nonchalant," Darla's voice seethed with anger as she disengaged the safety on her weapon, pointing it at the back of Marc’s head. Behind the gas mask covering her face, Darla's expression burned with rage. "Daring to endanger innocent lives—you all deserve to die!""My lady…" Bachary, her butler, hesitated, stepping forward to stop her. He wanted to remind her that, no matter how grave their crimes were, these people deserved a trial. An immediate execution would violate the law.However, before Bachary could finish, Darla raised her hand, signaling him to halt."You still have the nerve to act arrogant, ignoring our presence," she continued, her steps slow and deliberate as she moved toward Marc, finger poised on the trigger. Marc’s back remained turned to Darla and her team, a gesture she read as blatant disrespect. "Let’s see if your arrogance can save your head from my bullet.""Lady Darla, please allo
The Majestic Heir Chapter 27 - The Evidence
“What about the healer?” Darla mumbled, her brow furrowed, her expression laced with panic. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. She was reminded that the reason she joined the Bravo team on this mission was to ensure the healer's safety—something her anger toward Marc had momentarily made her forget.“Yes, I must find the healer,” she thought to herself. She knew there was no one better to ask about the healer's whereabouts than Marc. Yet, she refused to approach him. Her hatred for the young man ran far deeper than she was willing to admit.Just as Darla was about to take another step, her phone rang.“Hello, Mom…”“Darla, I have such wonderful news! A master healer from Eastcliff has just arrived at our estate!”“Mom, I’ll be home immediately.”As she ended the call, Darla’s previously dim eyes lit up with excitement. The thick fog of gloom that had clouded her face disappeared, replaced by a wide smile. “A master healer from Eastcliff? He must be able to cure my father!”
The Majestic Heir Chapter 28 - Second Appointment
“Mr. Belmont, are you sure about your plan?” Newell couldn’t hide the surprise on his face when Marc mentioned that he wanted to make massive improvements to the village of Greencliff.“Of course, Mr. Brown.” Unlike the expression on the mayor’s face, Marc nodded slowly and flashed a wide smile. “I want to rebuild this village.”Marc thought it would be wonderful if this village could come back to life, just like it was ten years ago before the goblins caused chaos.“But, Mr. Belmont…” Newell took a deep breath before continuing. Since there was no one else in the lobby at the moment, he felt he could express his thoughts to Marc more openly. “The property prices in Greencliff have dropped drastically in recent years, but rebuilding the entire village… that would cost a lot of money.”Rebuilding Greencliff would consume a significant portion of the city's budget. And seeing the state of the city, Newell wasn’t sure it would be profitable from an investment standpoint. “Even if we spen
The Majestic Heir Chapter 29 - The Guest
One hour earlier.“Is this true, what I just heard?” Keith’s face lit up with a radiant smile, the joy clear in his eyes as he heard that the master healer would be coming to his house today as scheduled. “This feels like a dream come true!”“This is such a great blessing that Master Tilcott is willing to come to our place,” Wilma, who had overheard her husband's conversation on the phone, couldn’t hide her happiness either. “Our daughter will be healed, Keith,” she said, hugging her husband tightly.Although the Felix family was no ordinary family in Cammont, Keith still realized that they couldn't compare to the likes of the Richmonds or the Quentins. While those who made appointments with Helma came from not just this town but from several important figures in the province and even the royal capital, it was clear that Helma’s services were sought by those in power.Aware of his own status, Keith had never considered asking Helma for help. However, seeing his daughter’s condition co
The Majestic Heir Chapter 30 - The Young Singer
"Come in, please." Keith forced a smile onto his face as he welcomed Marc into his house. Despite this, his mind was seething with anger. "Damn it! This brat is such a master con artist!"Just yesterday, Keith hadn’t cared much when the three wives of the shop owners said that Marc was a skilled con man. To him, no con artist or criminal could do anything in front of him. They would all kneel before him soon enough.But today, he had to suppress his anger even further when he saw Marc coming to his house. To Keith, it seemed like the young man was challenging him. And what enraged him even more, this damn brat didn’t come alone but brought a powerful figure with him. "If it weren’t for Mr. Robins being here, I would’ve beaten this bastard into the ground!""After deceiving Mr. Wellington and Mr. Skiyd, now he’s managed to con a butler from the Quentin family," Keith thought again, glaring at Marc out of the corner of his eye with anger and disgust that he tried to hide. "I can't let m
The Majestic Heir Chapter 31 - The Giant Rambutan
“Don’t worry, my dear,” Wilma thought to herself, unable to hide the sadness etched across her face. She knew how much singing had been her daughter’s dream since childhood, and she couldn’t bear to let her lose that dream. “Master Tilcott will surely heal you soon.”As her heart filled with thoughts of hope and prayer, Marc’s voice, though soft, cut through her thoughts like an unwelcome guest. “Have you ever eaten a giant rambutan before?”“About this big.” Locking eyes with Rose, Marc raised his hand as though holding a spherical object slightly larger than a tennis ball. “Yeah, about the size of a soccer ball… Have you ever tried one?”While Rose furrowed her brows in confusion, Wilma could no longer suppress her anger. “You! What nonsense are you spouting?” Her tear-stained eyes widened menacingly, filled with fury.Wilma had never shown this side of herself in front of her daughter, but Marc’s absurd behavior pushed her over the edge. “Get out of here before I truly lose my pati
The Majestic Heir Chapter 32 - Realization
“M-Mom...”Keith’s fist hung in the air as his ears caught that voice again—the voice he had longed to hear for the past year. “Sweetheart...” Turning around, Keith saw Rose smiling at him. “D-Dad...”“You... you...” Rose struggled to form her words, her gaze fixed on Marc as he approached her.“Don’t try to speak just yet. You need plenty of rest.” Marc shook his head gently, smiling at the girl.“Since you said you consumed a giant rambutan, as I suspected, let me explain a little about this fruit,” Marc continued. Unlike ordinary rambutans, which are usually the size of a ping-pong ball, giant rambutans are much larger and exceptionally delicious—the most flavorful of all rambutan varieties. Despite their size, the fruit’s flesh is tender, with an unusually small seed.“Among all rambutan types, this one might seem the most tempting. But no one should eat it.” Marc’s tone turned serious, fully aware of the hidden dangers inside the fruit.Beneath the succulent flesh of the giant ra
The Majestic Heir Chapter 33 - The Inn
"Hey, hurry up! If you move this slowly, how can you help your boss make any money?" A woman in her forties, dressed in a formal work uniform, sneered as she fanned herself with a folding fan."I can’t understand how this inn even hired someone as slow as this." A girl in her twenties standing beside her shot a look of disgust, echoing the same complaint. "Mom, why do we even have to stay in this village? Shouldn’t we just go back home?"Not far ahead of them, Marc—wearing a crisp white shirt and black trousers that made him look not only handsome but also professional—was struggling to carry three oversized suitcases while leading the way to their requested room on the fourth floor. Yet, he maintained a polite smile. "We’ll be there soon, ma’am."Three days ago, at Marc’s request, the mayor had promptly contacted several parties, both governmental and private, to expedite the rebuilding of the village. Most visitors came only for initial surveys before leaving.But today, these two w

Chapter 252 - A Parting Gift
Even though Tedd's voice dripped with hatred, there was a sadness in his eyes he couldn't hide.It was hard to tell if he truly hated Leah... or if he and the rest of the Larsian crew were just using her as a scapegoat for their own frustrations.Leah was, after all, the daughter of their leader.If she couldn’t take responsibility, who else was there to blame?At least, that’s what they kept telling themselves.Leah didn’t say a word.She just stood there, silent.And without meaning to, two tears slowly slid down her cheeks.She hadn’t been lying when she said Larsian was like family to her.So hearing those words—hearing them say they were disappointed in her, that they didn’t want to see her again—hurt more than anything she could’ve imagined."I... I don’t know how to make it right," Leah rasped, her voice thick with unshed tears. "But I really am sorry."She blinked rapidly, trying to keep herself from falling apart right there in front of them. She didn’t want them thinking she
Chapter 251 - A Not-So-Warm Welcome
An hour later, the van Leah was driving rolled through the gates of Duskmoor District.She kept the wheel steady, navigating the van through the deserted streets until she pulled up in front of a run-down building — the headquarters of the Larsian crew.Turning the wheel sharply, she guided the van down into the underground parking lot.Clack!The sound of the van door echoed through the dim garage as Leah hopped out and slammed it shut behind her.A wide grin lit up her face when she spotted the Larsians standing by the entrance — Tedd front and center, acting as the temporary leader while her father, Lars, recovered from his illness.At first, Leah thought they were there to welcome her back.But it didn’t take long for her to realize... something was off.None of them smiled.Instead, they stood stiffly, arms crossed, their faces twisted into scowls. The coldness in their eyes hit her like a slap."You happy now? Huh?" Tedd's voice was icy as he glared at her. "Happy that the missi
Chapter 250 - Between Two Choices
"Well, looks like you’re better than I thought, Mya."Leah, the bank officer inside the second armored van, muttered to herself as she watched the line of police cars and the Benz drive off, leaving her behind.Last night, before Mya set off, she had whispered something in Leah’s ear."Give me the phone number of one of the officers on duty. Make sure it’s someone with a rank. Then just watch—I’ll make everything a whole lot easier for you.""Alright."Leah nodded. It wasn’t hard for her. As a bodyguard, she had plenty of connections among officers and military personnel across Cammont Province. All she had to do was pick someone she thought would be the easiest to sway.After scrolling through her contacts for a moment, she handed Mya a number.And just before the first armored van left the Cammont Bank earlier, Mya had called that number—and she got through."Listen to me carefully..."Mya’s voice poured through the line, firm and commanding."If anyone stops you and asks about me—a
Chapter 249 - Who Gave the Order?
"Listen carefully. Just move the money. Leave the documents and everything else alone."A strange whisper echoed louder and louder inside the two officers’ heads. It was almost like something was trying to control them. Without a second thought, the officer behind the wheel pulled their car over, parking right behind the armored van they'd been seeing. He flicked on the hazard lights, signaling the three cars behind them to stop, too.The convoy obediently pulled over. But the bank manager from Walenstein wasted no time jumping out of his sleek Benz, his face tight with suspicion."What's going on? Why the sudden stop? Why are you halting us like this?"According to the plan, they were supposed to drive straight to the capital without stopping. No vehicle swaps, no changes. The manager's unease grew as he eyed the situation."Sir, apologies," one of the officers said stiffly, pointing at the armored van ahead. "But there's been a change of plans. We need to transfer the money into tha
Chapter 248 - Where Will the Money Be Taken?
[Good.][Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.][Get ready and wait at the next pickup point.]Three quick messages popped up on Leah’s phone. After reading them, she grabbed her handbag and headed straight to the restaurant's restroom.Zrrrip!She yanked open the zipper on her bag and pulled out a light blue uniform—standard issue for employees of the Walenstein Bank. Next came a reddish-brown wig and a realistic-looking skin mask.First, Leah changed into the uniform, stuffing her formal outfit into the bag. She slipped on the wig, carefully tucking away her natural black hair underneath.Finally, with quick, practiced movements, she pressed the mask over her face. The transformation was seamless—like she’d done it a hundred times before.In less than five minutes, Leah’s appearance was completely different.She topped off the look with a simple cap, then tucked a pistol into the waistband of her skirt.When she stepped out of the restroom five minutes later, anyone would’ve sworn she
Chapter 247 - Sabotaging the Heist
Mya and Leah hurried down the darkened street, their steps quick and determined.At first, they’d been terrified at the thought of facing Grizelda again after the goblin leader's chilling threats. But now, there was something else driving them — something stronger.Excitement."Please let this work," Mya prayed silently, her eyes locked forward, cutting through the thick night air."Because if it doesn't... I’ll never forgive myself."She cast a quick glance at Leah, the younger woman keeping pace beside her — five years her junior and yet already making life-altering decisions with reckless bravery.Leah had chosen her path: she would disappear from Violet’s life for good, cut all ties, and chase the freedom that Mya offered."If I fail her... if I fail us... I'll never be able to live with myself."Mya’s gaze lingered on Leah, feeling the weight of the trust the girl had placed in her. Leah had left behind the security and comfort of her old life, choosing instead the uncertainty of
Chapter 246 - Using Grizelda?
Mya froze for a moment, stunned by Leah’s words.They made sense—painfully so.It was something that had never even crossed her mind before.With Grizelda's insane power, taking down someone like Marc should’ve been child’s play, right?“But...”Mya's brow furrowed deeply as she sank into thought.Still, for the first time in a while, the sadness etched into her face seemed to lift—just a little.“We know Marc isn’t at the inn,” she said slowly.The two women had double-checked—Marc wasn’t anywhere in Greencliff.And if they assumed he knew about the goblins’ arrival... well, that could only mean one thing.“With that many goblins showing up, if he really was planning to run, there’s no way he’d even think about going back to the inn. Not anytime soon, anyway.”Leah jumped in without missing a beat.“Which is exactly why it’s our job to make sure Grizelda hunts him down, no matter where he’s hiding!”Her eyes widened, a grin stretching across her face, practically vibrating with excit
Chapter 245 - Mya’s Sorrow
"Are we safe now?"Leah asked, glancing at Mya as the last of the goblin horde finally disappeared into the distance."Hmm."Mya gave a slight nod, saying nothing more.Out there in the tall grass, the two of them could finally breathe. No more goblins surrounding them, no more immediate danger.It looked like a relief. Like a win.They hadn't even needed to lift a finger to escape.But for Mya, it didn’t feel like a victory at all.It felt like a crushing defeat."My whole life," Mya murmured, her voice low and heavy, "I dreamed of being Grizelda’s only partner in Cammont. I did everything I could to get Marvel out of the way... and in the end, it still wasn’t enough."Her voice trembled with grief. Her face was shadowed, not just with sadness, but deep disappointment — at herself. At her failure to earn Grizelda’s trust.If only she'd succeeded in partnering with the goblin leader, she could've commanded the thousands of goblins swarming Cammont. With that kind of power? Killing Mar
Chapter 244 - A Second Request
Back to the present.“No way! How could she possibly know about that?!”Leah couldn’t stop asking herself that question, her eyes fixed on the goblin woman in front of her. She had never told anyone about it—not a soul—and she was absolutely certain no one had ever caught her with Violet.But this goblin?“You shouldn’t speak about things you know nothing about,” the goblin said, her tone cold.Leah’s mouth was slightly open, frozen in shock. She still hadn’t recovered enough to speak when the goblin continued.“I don’t care if you think you or humans in general are better than us. But I won’t tolerate mockery or insults—especially the kind you just threw.”“I—I didn’t mean—”Leah tried to explain herself, to say she hadn’t meant it as an insult. But the words stuck in her throat. And even if she did explain, would this goblin believe her?Mocking someone—whether it’s a joke or not—is never just harmless. It wounds.Meanwhile, seeing the tension spark between Leah and Grizelda, Mya re
