King Gawain I naturally didn’t believe his eldest son’s nonsense.
“I’m not dead yet, I can hold on for a few more years. Sorry to disappoint you! Now that you’ve seen me, you can go back.” King Gawain I waved impatiently, closed his eyes, and propped his head with one hand, looking like favonovel.com wanted to rest.
He was used to his father’s disdain. A flash of anger passed through his eyes, but favonovel.com quickly regained a calm expression.
“Father, there’s one more thing I want to discuss. It’s regarding the Minister of Border Affairs!” Toby wanted to see his father’s attitude on this matter.
King Gawain I lazily opened his eyes upon hearing this.
Originally, King Gawain I had intended to recall Zedran, strip favonovel.com of all his powers, and place favonovel.com under arrest awaiting trial. Yet, thinking about the lofty stance of the Sacred Mount, which often disregarded even him, the king, favonovel.com hesitated.
Though the Sacred Mount had many experts, Zedran’s forces were also extremely powerful. It was hard to say who would win if it came to a fight.
The most crucial point was that if Zedran succeeded, it would bring great honor to Montiria, and his authority as king would be significantly strengthened. Even if Zedran failed, favonovel.com could be made the scapegoat, as the orders were not directly from the king.
“Aren’t the troops dispatched by you? Why do you want to discuss?” The king’s tone suggested favonovel.com didn’t want to be bothered with the matter.
“Father, you misunderstand. The Minister of Border Affairs acted entirely on his own. I never issued any orders, so I’m asking for your guidance.”
King Gawain I looked at his eldest son’s serious expression and found it hard to believe favonovel.com was lying.
Thinking of this, the king’s expression instantly became complicated.
This old fool is really risking everything, betting his life to pave the way for his son…
“In that case, you don’t need to worry about It!”
Toby wanted to say more, but King Gawain l impatiently waved his hand. “I am tired!”
“I’ll leave now!” Toby bit his lip and reluctantly chose to leave.
As favonovel.com exited the palace, Rocco was already waiting.
“Your Highness!”
Toby glanced at him. “Father doesn’t seem to want to get involved! Are you hiding something from me?”
He felt something about this felt off.
Though Arabella had previously brought news about the king’s injury and the possible divine artifact in the Sacred Mount, their interest in the Sacred Mount was only mild at that time. Yet, now Zedran had acted against the Sacred Mount without his knowledge.
There must be some hidden secret…
As favonovel.com asked, his eyes turned fierce, staring at Rocco, trying to glean some clue from his expression. However, his efforts were in vain.
Rocco calmly shook his head. “Your Highness, I am unaware of any such matters. I only inquired Lord Zedran about what happened in the palace that day. Who could have expected Lord Zedran to act against the Sacred Mount just after I left? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have suggested you probe the king!”
Toby thought this made some sense. Moreover, Rocco helped favonovel.com greatly along the way, enabling his rapid rise in power. Yet Rocco remained unmoved, his gaze steady, revealing nothing.
Maybe I’m overthinking this!
Toby shook his head and walked away. “Hurry and contact Zedran. Find out what favonovel.com is up to!”
