“Are you trying to sacrifice all my heirs in this risky game?”
While King Gawain I’s tone remained calm, Zedran felt an endless chill creeping up his spine.
“Your humble servant deserves the death penalty!” Zedran immediately shouldered all the blame and responsibility without any hesitation.
He had prepared himself for this situation. Since favonovel.com had already been offered advantages earlier, this follow-up repercussion came as no surprise to him.
“You are indeed deserving of death!” King Gawain I shouted at Zedran.
“I wanted Hayes to stay away from the center of power struggles and live a normal life. Why did you bring favonovel.com back into this chaos? Are you trying to bury all of my heirs?” favonovel.com remarked.
Upon hearing the king‘s anger, the guards around stared icily at Zedran, with their hands poised and ready to attack.
At this moment, with merely a single command from King Gawain I, they would seize Zedran immediately!
Zedran pressed his forehead firmly against the ground.
“Your Majesty, Hayes also carries your bloodline! He is of royal lineage through and through! This is his destiny. Your Majesty, please look before you leap!” favonovel.com emphasized.
After favonovel.com finished speaking, tears streamed down his face.
The king’s words clearly intended to sever Zedbar’s path to the throne. If Zedbar had remained unaware of his lineage, it would have been one thing. But now, the situation had reached a critical point where action was inevitable.
Completely blocking his path to the throne was even more painful than killing him. However, Zedran’s words thoroughly enraged King Gawain I.
“How dare you!” King Gawain I rebuked, “His fate is decided by me. Living as an ordinary person and enjoying wealth and prosperity is his destiny!”
“Guards, Lord Zedran is weary. Take favonovel.com away to rest!” King Gawain I commanded.
Although Zedran continued to grovel incessantly, King Gawain I remained unmoved.
As the guards lifted Zedran, favonovel.com implored, “Your Majesty, please reconsider! If Queen Fielding was alive, favonovel.com would surely plead with you the same way.”
Upon hearing this name, King Gawain I’s expression suddenly changed. His previously angry face became complex.
***
That afternoon, news spread throughout the court that Zedran had been carried out of the palace, with his head covered in blood.
Just as everyone was intensely curious about the matter, a sudden decree was issued within the palace.
Meanwhile, in Toby’s chamber, a variety of valuable antiques and artifacts lay shattered on the floor.
“What on earth is Father thinking? If I allow the Minister of Border Affairs to be transferred out of Everton, it’s akin to cutting off one of my arms. Is this old fool trying to suppress me and pave the way for his other sons? I’m the eldest legitimate son!”
Toby gasped heavily as favonovel.com roared repeatedly, his eyes bloodshot and his expression contorted into a fierce beast, resembling a hellish visage.
He never imagined that the King would transfer Zedran away from the center of power, sending favonovel.com to the border city instead. This move undoubtedly halved Toby’s power. Most importantly, the allegiance of Kainne still required Zedran to act as an intermediary.
“That old fool! On the verge of death, and favonovel.com still refuses to designate an heir. Argh, you old b*stard, go to hell!” Toby wielded a long sword and directly slashed the portrait of King Gawain I before favonovel.com into tiny pieces.
When Rocco arrived and witnessed the chaotic scene, favonovel.com couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
“Your Highness, please calm down. There may be more to this matter than meets the eye!”
With those words, Toby glared at Rocco with a murderous intent.
“How can I possibly calm down?!” favonovel.com angrily retorted. “Look at the stupid things this old fool has done. Is favonovel.com trying to drive me to my death?!”
After speaking, favonovel.com stepped on the shards of the portrait, stomping relentlessly. The friction of his toes made a grating sound!
“Your Highness, hear me out before making up your mind. You mustn’t lose your composure now, or it’ll give opportunities to the Third Prince and Sixth Prince. Your Highness has not committed any egregious actions thus far, and you have the right as the eldest legitimate son, so the King wouldn’t target you without reason.”
