Reign of a King (Kingdom Duet, #1)

by Rina Kent

“Remember what you told me last year?” Aiden’s left eye twitches. “The part about how I have no respect for my mother’s memory? Who, between the two us, doesn’t have respect for her, Jonathan? Huh? Because I sure as shit am not sitting with her doppelgänger on my lap.”

I can feel the hurt and pain even in his anger.

“After all, you didn’t hesitate to marry Ethan’s daughter.” “Elsa. Her name is Elsa, Jonathan, and she had nothing to do with whatever feud you have with Ethan.”

YEAH YOU DEFEND YOUR WIFE AIDEN KING.

The difference between Jonathan’s behaviour and Ethan’s. My tyrant disapproves of Elsa and doesn’t shy away from expressing his opinion. On the other hand, Ethan doesn’t seem to disapprove of Aiden — despite his menacing feelings towards Jonathan. One is definitely more parental than the other.

jonathan you pathetic son of a bitch

“Aiden.” His attention falls on his son. “When I told you to stay away from Elsa, what did you do?” “That’s different —” “Answer my question,” he cuts him off. “What. Did. You. Do?” “I married her.” Levi laughs under his breath but stops when Jonathan’s deadly attention shifts to him. “And you. Did you hear a word I said about staying away from Lord Clifford’s daughter?” “Nope.” Levi takes Astrid’s hand in his and kisses her knuckles. “I made her my world.” “Fascinating.” The tone Jonathan speaks with suggests he finds this anything but ‘fascinating’. “Now, you two expect me to listen to you. Do you know what I call that? Hypocrisy.”

Aiden and Levi really said "fuck you Jonathan."
