"Besides, you think I can't see that you like that Dr. Feroma too, right? Keeping her around
would be a two-for-one deal for you, so why not?"
William: "But…"
"Don't be a mother-in-law." The old king didn't bother to talk to him further, "If you do, I
will investigate the poisoning thoroughly; if you don't, the poisoning will be shelved for
now, and then, I will let some of your cousins to do it. If that's the case, you'll really get
nothing out of it."
This last statement carried a threat and a warning.
William knew that he had no choice but to bow his head and take orders, "Yes, all under
grandfather's arrangement."
"That's right." The old king smiled with satisfaction, "Everything I am doing now is for
you, and in the future, this position will always be reserved for you. It is just as well that
it will take six months for your leg to fully recover, so isn't it good to let her stay by your
side and take care of you?"
"Yes." William said no more, echoing the King's sentiments with every word.
"Go on." The old king made a gesture, "Go back early and rest."
William was slightly stunned, "Aren't they coming?"
He had expected the old king to reprimand the cousins in front of him and then directly
order a thorough investigation into the poisoning, but the old king was now letting him
go, that meant…
"In this matter, there is always a process." The old king explained, "Don't worry, I will
give you an explanation! Trust grandfather."
With the old king saying this, William had nothing more to say but to nod and say, "Yes,
I know."
The old king made a gesture and an attendant came forward and pushed William out
through the side door.
As soon as William walked out of the door, he heard the affectionate voices of the
cousins ??behind him: "Grandfather, grandson misses you so much"
"Haha, good boy, all here, come and sit down, I have had a fine wine prepared, dine
with grandfather today."
This kind and harmonious voice, its happy picture, where did it look like to censor the
prosecution? It was clearly a family of loving grandparents and filial grandchildren, and
a harmonious family.
William's heart was as hard as pins and needles, raised his head, a cold wind blowing in
his face, he suddenly came to his senses.
The old king only put a so-called opportunity as a bait to make him betray his friends to
serve him.
The first thing he needed to do was to get a good idea of what he's getting into.
When the time comes, he would be able to get rid of him by just making a show of
finding a few unimportant people to take the blame.
As for the succession to the throne, all he needed to do was to say that he was not
qualified and unsuitable.
How ironic, ridiculous, naive and childish!
Poor guy actually believed it just now.
He thought that the old king had really felt guilty when he heard Derila's words, that
he had come to his senses, that he really saw his excellence and goodness, that he
really wanted to nurture him and give him a chance.
Until this moment, William knew that since the beginning, he had been a discarded
pawn.
Even if he picked it up one day, he would just use it for a while and then he would just
throw it away.
How could a useless discarded pawn be discarded just once?
Walking out of the Great Hall, William squinted at the overcast sky, which seemed like it
was about to rain, just like his gloomy heart.
He lowered his eyes and allowed the waiting attendants to carry him to the car, never
saying a word.
The car drove on back and soon the sky was raining.
William looked in the rear view mirror at the luxury cars not far away, at the smug and
provocative eyes of the attendants waiting by the cars, and then at the castle shrouded
in rain.
Suddenly, he felt that this place was incomparably cold and gloomy.
It made him sick!!!
He tugged his fist tightly and once again reminded himself in his mind that the next time
he came here, he would absolutely, positively have to come standing up, to step on the
blood of those people and walk into the palace.
