Chapter 422 Who dares? (2)

As for the prime minister who followed the fourth prince, no one seemed to care about him.

It was as if they were all already used to seeing the fourth prince enter the palace like this.

The fourth prince was very familiar with the corridors of the palace, as if he had been here many times before. But judging by how the guards acted around him, that seemed like it was very likely the case.

The fourth prince didn\'t take any time to reach a certain part of the palace.

In this part of the palace, the guards were clearly different.

As for how they were different…these guards were clearly much stronger and more serious than the guards outside. These guards were the elite guards of the castle, the ones that were all made of knights.

And as for what they were guarding.

As the fourth prince entered the room, the person inside said, "What\'s the situation?"

The fourth prince revealed a serious look and said, "They\'re safe for now."

The person inside the room gave a nod before saying, "Good. If anything happens to them, we won\'t be able to live it down. All of our hard work will go to waste then."

The fourth prince gave a nod of agreement, but he didn\'t say anything.

It was as if he didn\'t want to say what he wanted to say next.

As if he was hesitating to say what he wanted to say.

The person in the room knew this, so he said, "Just say it already."

Taking a deep sigh, the fourth prince said, "The ones that are behind this…"

His voice trailed off after saying this, but before he could say the rest, the person in the room cut him off.

"I know."

The fourth prince closed his mouth and didn\'t say anything, but the look on his face made it clear what he was thinking.

The person in the room gave a sigh before saying, "Which one was it?"

"Old second." The fourth prince said after a long sigh.

The person in the room slammed his fist down the moment that he heard this before saying, "They dare to go against me directly like this? Who do they think they are?"

The fourth prince shook his head before saying, "They weren\'t planning on going against you per say, they were…trying to take out Count Zwein. He is too much of a variable in terms of the future, so they were trying to cull him while they could."

"Even so, do they think that this crown means nothing?" As he said this, the person in the room pointed at the crown on the side.

This was the crown of the king.

The person that could be guarded by these elite guards was naturally the king.

The fourth prince just shook his head and said, "That\'s just how it is now. If they succeeded, they could have blamed it on many other things. But once they fail, they will start cutting off their tails to escape."

The king deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

Of course he had already expected the fourth prince to say this, so he said, "Have you made your preparations yet?"

The fourth prince hesitated for a second before giving a nod.

The king gave a nod back as he said, "Then do it."

The fourth prince once again hesitated for a bit and this time, he said, "Are we sure that this is the best choice?"

The king narrowed his eyes to look at the fourth prince before saying, "They are the ones that are colluding with others for their own benefits. Once they have betrayed the royal family, there\'s nothing else we can say."

The fourth prince still had a look like he was hesitating over something.

The king saw this and knew what he was thinking, so he said, "Our duty as royals is to the people of the kingdom. It is our right to protect them and to keep them safe, that is our duty as the rulers of this kingdom. Once one of the royal family goes against that, they no longer deserve to be a part of the royal family."

The fourth prince understood what the king was saying, but he still had to say, "Is there really no other way? Can we not…exile him?"

The king shook his head before saying, "It was how it was when I took the throne and it is how it has to be now. You have to understand that showing weakness will be taken advantage of."

In the end, the fourth prince gave a sigh before saying, "I will take care of this matter, royal father."

The king gave a nod of approval when he heard this.

He looked at the fourth prince with a look of appreciation.

Since he was young, the fourth prince had always shown a knack for handling these matters. That was why the fourth prince was the prince that the king trusted the most out of all the princes.

If he was willing, he would have chosen to give the fourth prince the throne.

But the fourth prince just wasn\'t willing, so it wasn\'t as if the king could do anything.

All he could do was wait for the one that they had decided on to take the throne to arrive.

Once that person came, he would be able to rest easy.

After a moment of silence, the king said, "How did it go with your sister?"

The fourth prince revealed a faint smile that had a hint of bitterness to it when he heard this as he remembered what he had been through.

But in the end, he kept it short for the king.

The king revealed a faint smile before saying, "It\'s good that she\'s happy."

The fourth prince nodded in agreement.
