Therefore, she was strongly against Flavian marrying his mistress. Yet, he was deeply in love with that mistress and was willing to turn his back on the Kings Family to elope with her.
"If you insist on being with that woman, you're no longer a member of the Kings Family from today onward!" Elizabeth snarled.
Flavian hugged the woman, bowed at Elizabeth, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for being such a disappointment. Please take care of yourself after this." After that, he left with that woman without a backward glance.
Because of this matter, Elizabeth threw a huge temper and collapsed. Later, she deliberately released some news, hoping that her son would realize his mistakes and return. To her dismay, she never heard back from Flavian after that day.
Thus, she could only announce to the public that Flavian had died in an accident. Elizabeth hated the fact that her son disappointed her and eloped with a woman. At the same time, she hated herself for forcing Flavian, her beloved son, away so heartlessly, which was why she doted on Matthew a lot.
Firstly, she felt guilt toward him. Secondly, she used the opportunity to shower all the love she had for her son on him as well.
In the beginning, Matthew thought that his father was indeed dead, but he accidentally found out one day that he didn't die and merely eloped with another woman. After that particular discovery, he had nothing but hate for Flavian. That man didn't contact him for more than ten years but suddenly decided to announce his presence now? The instant that man made himself known, Matthew could hear the peaceful and quiet life that he had hoped for shatter into smithereens, and his mood turned somber at the thought of this.
Somehow… I think life won't be peaceful after this, he thought wearily. He held the cigarette between his fingers, flicked off the ashes, and frowned deeply.
In the meantime, a mysterious and uninvited guest appeared at the Kings Residence. The moment that person made himself known, Yura sent everyone out of the room when he met Elizabeth.
The mysterious person fell to his knees on the floor with a thud and bowed to Elizabeth. Finally, he used the same tone as he did back then when he left and said, "Mother, I didn't fulfill my duties as a son, but I've returned to visit you."
