Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 162 Prepare for the battle ahead.

Martin stared blankly at his brother as if he had gone mad. “Oh really?”

“We both know you’ll never be happy as the king, Martin.” William said almost gently. “You always let everyone around you control every move you made. I could see it in your eyes that you never wanted this for yourself. I can give you the chance to be free in the world. TO not have these responsibilities on your shoulders.”

Martin slowly looked William up and down as if he was sizing him up for the first time. A bit of distaste lingered on his lips. “So you think I would let you take my place, is that it? That’s why you’re here? You want me to leave so you can have my crown?”

“I’ve brought the rogues to the palace to agree on peace“

“And that suddenly makes you the better ruler? Because you brought a bunch of rogues to the palace?” Martin scoffed and took a step back. “Father didn’t make you the crown prince because you’re irresponsible, careless, and reckless. You never cared for anything but yourself in your life.”

William’s snowy cheeks had tinted red. Doris slowly moved closer to Enzo incase they needed to flee this battle between blood. “Father only made you the crown prince because you were born first and he knew he could mold you into another useless version of himself!

Martin’s hands curled into fists at his sides. “I am more capable of being the king. More than

you will ever hope to be.”

“You just tried to run away with your brother’s lady-which wasn’t the first time you took something of mine. You were ready to drop this kingdom even with the king sick. Even knowing that he could die and you would have to take his place-you just offered to leave it all.”

Martin swallowed. “I would make the better king. There is no way I would ever give you my throne.”
