After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 145 She is just a princess (1)

This farce made Anna feel uneasy. She knew that Lotus came here because of the king's instructions.

She asked Gu Chang to take Cedric for a walk in the garden first, and then went to the king's bedroom.

On the other side, after Freya brought Lotus to the palace where the queen lived, she ordered the maid to take Lotus to the room to rest, and asked the court doctor to come and check Lotus's injuries.

Freya untied her cuffs and, feeling the restraints on her wrists were gone, she took a deep breath and stood in front of Queen Silvia's bedroom.

Queen Silvia was still awake at this hour. Her sleep schedule was always very stable.

Freya knocked gently on the door. "Mother, I want to talk to you."

Soon, a maid opened the door and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Queen invites you in."

"Okay, thank you for taking care of my mother." Freya nodded and walked into the room.

The maid left the room, quietly closed the door, and stood outside waiting.

The room is warmly decorated and filled with a faint aroma of coffee.

Queen Silvia sat in bed, her long, light brown, slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders. Her face looked a little sickly, yet she exuded a warm warmth. A thick book, its black cover badly frayed at the edges, lay beside her bed. Before Freya arrived, Queen Silvia had been leafing through it.

"Mother, reading at night hurts your eyes." Freya walked to the bed and sat on a small stool.

Sylvia smiled gently. She raised her hand and touched the top of Freya's head. "I don't want to lose this habit. I like the world in books."

"Mother, you should know what happened at the dinner party." Freya held Queen Silvia's hand. The candlelight beside the bed cast a hazy light on her face.

"Well, Anna has sent someone to tell me. She said that Lotus spoke impolitely, which caused a guest to punch him. Anna also asked her people to tell me that she felt very guilty for not being able to prevent the accident from happening in time at this dinner party, and she will go to the king to accept punishment." Queen Silvia folded her hands on her abdomen, her voice soft and slow.

"Yes, Rotus simply doesn't understand reality. The fact that the Gareth family has survived for so long proves that they are not only financially strong, but also have extensive connections." Freya sighed softly, "My brother has no idea that the empire is no longer what it used to be."

"Freya, no matter what mistakes Lotus makes, I hope you can stand by him." Queen Sylvia's eyes showed sadness. "Lotus is the next king chosen by your father. As his sister, you must support him."

Freya lowered her eyes, a dark expression in them. She said calmly, "I know, mother. I have always supported my brother."

"And Claire, she's not young anymore, she's already twenty-three, and she still refuses to settle down and meet more boys," Queen Silvia said, frowning slightly. "She's always at balls. Who would want to marry her?"

"Marquise Helena came to chat with me a few days ago. She said she liked Claire very much. Do you think I should agree to this marriage?" Queen Silvia's gaze stayed on Freya's face. She tried to see a different expression on Freya's face.

But Freya's expression remained calm and she didn't react at all when she heard her words.

"Mother, it's up to you. I'm going to go check on Lotus first." Freya felt the air in the room grow thinner, the overwhelming pressure straining her nerves. But she didn't dare show any dissatisfaction in front of Queen Silvia.

Freya thinks Claire should be consulted about the marriage, but Queen Silvia obviously won't ask Claire if she's willing. Queen Silvia is considering the future of the royal family.

If Claire marries Saminos, the Lund family will fully support the royal family.

Freya was aware of this relationship, and after she left the room, she came to the room where Lotus was. She did not go in, but when she heard Lotus's curse coming from the room, she frowned unhappily.

Then Freya planned to go to the king. She had slapped Lotus tonight. The king must know about this. As a princess, she had no right to hit Lotus.

Freya stepped out of the palace and disappeared into the night.

There were unknown emotions in her eyes and her lips were pursed.

She is just a princess...

Not only Anna and Freya went to the king's bedroom, but also Gu Chang and Cedric.

But the latter was eavesdropping in the dark.

Gu Chang always felt that Anna's reaction was strange when she came out. She held her right hand loosely and did not swing her right arm when she walked.

Then Gu Chang asked Cedric to take him to a secluded place.

The palace in this world cannot go up to the roof, so the two of them can only stay on a big tree not far away.

Cedric had very good hearing, and there was another reason why he agreed to let Gu Chang climb the tree.

There was a trade between the mixed-blood vampires and the royal family. Cedric only learned about this when he was cleaning up the rebellious mixed-blood vampires.

The king's room was on the second floor with the windows open, so Gu Chang and Cedric could clearly see what was going on inside.

As for when the king and Anna were talking, the system relayed it to Gu Chang.

"Your Majesty..." Anna followed Michael into the room and bowed to the king sitting on the bed. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the king's gloomy face.

The king opened his eyelids, lay down on the bed, tilted his head and looked at Anna, "Come here."

"Yes." Anna lowered her head and walked to the bedside and half-knelt down, her body trembling slightly.

With a loud slap, a loud slap landed on Anna's face.

She still kept her head down and made no sound.

Michael stood at the door, watching the scene expressionlessly.

"Don't think that just because your son is with someone from the Gareth family, you have the final say in this palace." The king's hoarse voice sounded dully, and he was still panting after he finished speaking.

"Your Majesty is the only owner of the palace. The entire empire belongs to you. I have never had such delusion." Anna raised her head slightly, and her tears fell one by one like pearls with a broken string.

However, the king simply reached out and grasped her chin, jerking it up. Anna was forced to look up, and she looked at the king's expression anxiously.

"Giving you the position of princess means you will be content. Helain has already signed the agreement and is not eligible to ascend the throne. And you, have you forgotten those things?" The king suddenly loosened his grip. He stopped looking at Anna and instead looked at Michael. "Michael, bring me the dagger."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mack half-closed his eyelashes, walked to the table, opened a box, took out the sharp dagger inside, then walked to the bedside and presented the dagger to the king.

"Come here," the king said weakly.

Anna pursed her lips, looked up at Michael's cold face, and shook her head gently, "No..." She didn't want to go through this again.

Michael simply grabbed her right hand forcefully and made her right palm face up.

There was a shallow, healed scar on her palm.
