Sweet Revenge – The DNA Bombshell That Rocked the Palace: “It’s Not His Child… The Real Father Is…”
For weeks, rumors whispered through the marble halls of House Elberwyn, the ancient royal family of Astoria. But no one was prepared for the storm that broke today — when Crown Prince Alaric revealed the results of a secret DNA test that has shattered the royal illusion.
“The child… is not Prince Cedric’s,” Alaric said quietly, holding a sealed envelope before a stunned room of family members, advisors, and security personnel. “The real father… is someone much closer. Much more dangerous.”
At the heart of the scandal stood Lady Seraphina, the Duchess of Marrowind — glamorous, cunning, and married to Prince Cedric, Alaric’s younger brother. Two months ago, she gave birth to a son the world believed was Cedric’s rightful heir.
But Alaric had suspicions. The child bore a resemblance that couldn’t be ignored — not to Cedric, but to Alaric himself. And when whispers began to surface from within palace walls — a late-night meeting here, a vanished letter there — the Crown Prince took matters into his own hands.
He arranged a secret paternity test. And now, the truth had exploded in front of the entire royal council.
“You used my brother,” Alaric said, turning to Seraphina. His voice was calm, but his eyes burned with betrayal. “You lied to the crown. To the people. To the child.”
Gasps echoed through the chamber. Prince Cedric, pale and visibly shaken, stood frozen. He had fought wars for his country, but nothing could have prepared him for this.
Seraphina, ever composed, lifted her chin.
“And you think you’re innocent?” she whispered. “You knew what we were. You knew the danger of loving in shadows. Don’t act like a saint, Alaric.”
But Alaric shook his head. “Loving you was my greatest mistake. Exposing the truth is my redemption.”
Outside the palace gates, the crowd had already begun to gather. Word had spread like wildfire. Supporters of the monarchy wept. Critics demanded abdication. And the fate of the newborn heir — now illegitimate — hung in the balance.
Queen Evangeline, mother to both princes, broke the silence with a single command:
“Remove her title. Strip her of rank. And take the child into royal protection until a decision is made.”
As Seraphina was led away, she didn’t scream. She didn’t cry. She simply smiled.
“You think this is the end, Alaric?” she said. “This is only the beginning. My revenge… was never about a child. It was about truth. And now it’s yours to live with.”
The palace bells rang that night — not in celebration, but in mourning.
For trust lost. For a future rewritten.
And for a royal family that would never be the same again.
