As Sven vowed to find his mother, Aiden gritted his teeth, feeling the sting of being ignored. "When was the last time I was humiliated like this?" he thought angrily, his gaze fixed on Sven, who seemed to brush him aside like an insignificant fly.
Controlling his anger, Aiden vowed silently, "I will surely avenge this humiliation." He felt the weight of others' gazes, noticing the pity in their eyes. This only fueled his determination.
Soon, King Orion's voice broke the tension. "Everyone, return to your chambers. Tend to Chloe," he commanded, signaling the end of the assembly. The room began to clear as everyone moved to follow the King's orders, leaving Aiden to seethe in silence, his resolve hardening with every passing moment.
