Chapter 1758: Taylor Playing with Fire
The royal Lu Layeka family had castles scattered everywhere, elegant and exquisite, each exuding a
sense of profound history and grace.
Many royal weddings took place within these castles.
The Aire Castle was particularly renowned, distinguished by its unique design, luxurious grandeur, and
a particularly romantic legend.
Taylor, the prince, chose this place precisely because it was seldom visited.
Here, he could discuss matters without any disturbances.
The lounge was spacious, its vaulted ceiling adorned with intricate patterns exuding an artistic
ambiance.
The walls were adorned with masterful artwork, and the air carried the scent of wealth. A table was set
with a countryside-style cloth, upon which a vase held several fresh lilies.
A bottle of wine had been poured into a decanter.
Taylor poured two glasses himself, retrieved a packet of white powder from his pocket, and without
hesitation, poured a measured amount into one of the glasses.
He then gently swirled the glass until the powder dissolved completely, placing it on the opposite side
of the table.
Taylor calmly awaited Claire's arrival, determined to have her drink this wine.
The warm yellow lighting inside, accompanied by a soft classical melody with just the right volume and
excellent audio quality, created a strong atmosphere, reflecting Taylor's taste in music selection.
Claire hadn't dressed up deliberately; she had come straight after finishing a call with Rowan.
Recalling the scene where the king had expelled Taylor from the palace and forbade him from re-
entering, Claire felt somewhat guilty. It had affected the relationship between the father and son.
As Taylor waited for Claire, he patiently mused, knowing that once the die was cast, a new groom
would be needed for the wedding. He couldn't be the favorite son, but he could be the first to give his
father a grandchild.
Taylor was somewhat paranoid today, his mind not entirely clear, unsure of what he was doing.
Since Louis's return to the royal family, Taylor felt he had been treated differently, that his father no
longer valued him.
Despite his body steadily recovering, such important matters were kept from him.
Hearing footsteps, Taylor looked up, hearing the soft voice of a servant at the door, "Miss Russell,
please come in."
She had arrived.
Claire stepped inside, the servant gently closing the door behind her, as Taylor had instructed.
This was Claire's first time entering Aire Castle. The scenery inside was unlike any other palace; it was
exceptionally beautiful and filled with a captivating ambiance.
At a glance, she spotted the man sitting at the center of the room by the table.
Claire approached him, her tranquil gaze fixed on him. "Prince."
Taylor turned his eyes slightly, smiling at her. "Please, have a seat."
The girl noticed the pastries and the poured wine on the table, along with the blooming lilies in the
bottle.
She took her seat opposite him, feeling somewhat apologetic. "Prince, I'm sorry for concealing my
identity due to our need to guard against Eden."
"How long have you been together?" Taylor seemed unperturbed, his gaze fixed on the girl. She always Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
gave him a feeling of spring blossoms, as if even the corners of her eyes carried the fragrance of
flowers.
"Half a year," Claire met his gaze. "But... our relationship is strong. We are planning to get married."
Her words pierced Taylor's heart like a thorn. To entrust one's lifetime to another after only half a year?
Just how outstanding was Louis?
Taylor forced a smile, his gaze now on the glass of wine in front of her. He spoke gently, "Taste this
wine. It's produced within our royal family and not sold elsewhere. You've probably never had it, but it
truly tastes wonderful."
