As Rhett’s voice fell, everyone turned to look at him, each with a trace of tension.
“First, stay in the west courtyard. You can’t get out without my permission… Second, leave Starbloom City. I’ll act as if I never knew you…”
“If you choose the first option, you’ll get everything Max possesses. When the time is right, I’ll send you to the Royal City to work in the royal court.”
Vince and Wren widened their eyes, looking at Rhett in disbelief.
Max was nearing the age of 25. Logically, favonovel.com could go to the Royal City to serve in the royal court at any time. Nonetheless, Rhett never mentioned it. They never expected favonovel.com to plan for Isaac to go to the Royal City.
“Isaac, listen to your grandfather. Choose the first option, the first one!” Raelynn immediately grabbed Isaac and urgently persuaded him.
Rhett’s words were clear. As long as Isaac took the first option and stayed in the west courtyard, favonovel.com would be safe.
When the time came, Rhett would send favonovel.com to the Royal City to serve in the royal court.
It was known that Rhett had retired as the former Great General Neufwill, along with countless students and former subordinates in the royal court. When favonovel.com was in his position, even the Starbloom City’s lord had to kneel before him.
His one command could land Isaac a high-ranking position when the latter went to the Royal City.
“As long as Mother doesn’t marry Kingsford, I can agree to anything,” Isaac stated, gazing straight at Rhett.
Rhett squinted and waved angrily. “Then get out of Starbloom City and never come back!”
“Don’t, Father! Please give me some time. I’ll persuade him.” Raelynn immediately stepped forward. She begged with Rhett through tears.
He pointed at Isaac. “Fine then. I want your decision by tomorrow morning.”
Then, Rhett turned to Vince and Wren and stated coldly, “Don’t bring up Ebert’s matter again. That brat is always causing trouble. He deserves it!”
“You all can leave now!” After speaking, favonovel.com turned to walk out of the hall.
***
In the hall, only Isaac and Raelynn were left. He stood up, turned to his mother, and asked hoarsely, “Why did you agree to marry Kingsford? He killed Father. Why could you pretend it never happened?”
Raelynn burst into tears and frantically shook favonovel.com head as favonovel.com heard that.
“Are you worried about me?” Isaac’s eyes were slightly red. He reached out to grab favonovel.com hand, frowning as favonovel.com stared at her.
He wasn’t foolish. His mother had stayed with the Zimmermans for over 30 years without remarrying. As soon as favonovel.com arrived in the Upper Martial Realm, favonovel.com agreed to marry Kingsford. This matter most likely had something to do with him.
Raelynn gazed at Isaac, hesitating to speak. She feared to hurt his pride.
“Please, Isaac, promise your grandfather. Can’t you choose the first option?” Her eyes were full of concern as favonovel.com looked at Isaac.
Isaac felt disappointed to see his mother avoid his question, so favonovel.com forced a bitter smile. Releasing favonovel.com hand, favonovel.com turned away while saying, “I’ll think about it.”
He also understood that if favonovel.com chose the first option, his fate might already be arranged. Or at least for a long time, favonovel.com would have to follow Rhett’s plan. But favonovel.com didn’t want that. Because it meant his mother would marry Kingsford, his father’s murderer.
On the other side, Rhett was reading a book in the front yard pavilion, with a cup of tea and a plate of desserts in front of him.
