Chapter 1758: Taylor Playing with Fire

The royal Lu Layeka family had castles scattered everywhere, elegantand 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 uniquedesign, luxurious grandeur, and a particularly romantic legend.

Taylor, the prince, chose this place precisely because it was seldomvisited.

Here, he could discuss matters without any disturbances.

The lounge was spacious, its vaulted ceiling adorned with intricatepatterns exuding an artistic ambiance.

The walls were adorned with masterful artwork, and the air carried thescent of wealth. A table was set with a countryside-style cloth, uponwhich 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 powderfrom his pocket, and without hesitation, poured a measured amountinto 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 thiswine.

The warm yellow lighting inside, accompanied by a soft classicalmelody with just the right volume and excellent audio quality, created astrong atmosphere, reflecting Taylor's taste in music selection.

Claire hadn't dressed up deliberately; she had come straight afterfinishing a call with Rowan.

Recalling the scene where the king had expelled Taylor from the palaceand forbade him from re-entering, Claire felt somewhat guilty. It hadaffected the relationship between the father and son.

As Taylor waited for Claire, he patiently mused, knowing that once thedie was cast, a new groom would be needed for the wedding. Hecouldn't be the favorite son, but he could be the first to give his father agrandchild.

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 treateddifferently, that his father no longer valued him.

Despite his body steadily recovering, such important matters were keptfrom him.

Hearing footsteps, Taylor looked up, hearing the soft voice of a servantat the door, "Miss Russell, please come in."

She had arrived.

Claire stepped inside, the servant gently closing the door behind her, asTaylor had instructed.

This was Claire's first time entering Aire Castle. The scenery inside wasunlike any other palace; it was exceptionally beautiful and filled with acaptivating ambiance.

At a glance, she spotted the man sitting at the center of the room by thetable.

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, alongwith 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 againstEden.”

"How long have you been together?" Taylor seemed unperturbed, hisgaze fixed on the girl. She always gave him a feeling of springblossoms, as if even the corners of her eyes carried the fragrance offlowers.

"Half a year," Claire met his gaze. "But... our relationship is strong. Weare planning to get married.”

Her words pierced Taylor's heart like a thorn. To entrust one's lifetime toanother 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 familyand not sold elsewhere. You've probably never had it, but it truly tasteswonderful.”
