Alfred said in a troubled tone, "Ian." What was running through his head was known in his heart. Nobody had a deeper sense of the emperor than he did.Alfred said, "I'll go along with you.""Uncle, I—" Ian was about to say he could go alone, but before he could finish the sentence, Alfred cut off his sentence. Alfred said, "Ian, she is my daughter. You, people, do not know what I'm terrified of. I'm not sure what's happening there, but I have a bad feeling about it. We are all responsible for paying for it."Ian didn't try to persuade his uncle, since he understood what was going through Alfred's head. Ian agreed with Alfred's claim by nodding. His uncle was right, so there was no way to refuse him; Adela was his daughter, and it was natural for him to be nervous. Ian knew well that his uncle was stronger than everyone else. Therefore, if he visited the palace, the emperor would be hesitant to act.Adela asked Ian to notify her about the emperor and Alfred, but he ran out of time to d

"Your Royal Highness."James grinned and said, "I was expecting you. Are you okay?" He approached Camilla a bit closer."Yes, your royal highness," Camilla responded with a smile as if nothing had happened inside the room.James had the smarts to go with her to her house instead of just standing there. He then remarked, "Okay, let's move. I'll accompany you.""What?" After hearing that, Camilla was stunned. Did she mishear or did the prince say it?

James replied while flashing a sensual smile."Do you have any problems?"Camilla was speechless when she heard James' proposal and didn't know what to say to him. She found it unbelievable that the second prince wished to accompany her. She hastily answered, "But I already have my c

"Of course I am. She is my dearest friend."Francis inquired with a cheerful voice and a head tilt."Well, what about me? Don't you have the same thoughts about me?"He was curious whether Adela regarded Francis in the same esteem for Camilla as she did. Adela raised her eyebrows when she heard him. She glared at his cheerful expression. He was giddy.Adela wondered aloud, "Francis, what are you saying?"Francis stated directly, "I just want to know if something happened to me. Would you take care of me exactly as you do for Camilla?" His eyes were eager for her answer.Adela's jaw tightened as her last memory of Francis flashed through her thoughts. Her heart twisted abruptly, and she also felt enraged. When he was lying on her lap, gasping for breath, did Francis know what Adela was experiencing? Did he know how Adela was feeling at the time?Adela bit her lower lip in rage and was ready to reprimand Francis when the carriage came to a halt. They heard a knock on the door."Sir, we
