Chapter 131 - A Crowd of People

“What? Prince Ian is still unconscious?”

“Coma? Is his life in danger?”

The nobles were shocked upon learning about Prince Ian’s condition.

But their shock was fleeting.

“This is a stroke of luck.”

“Right. With this, the obstacle to our Third Prince’s ascension to the throne has vanished.”

“Nonsense! The next in line for the throne is our First Princess.”

“Now, now, cut it out. The next throne should be taken by someone as wise as the Fourth Prince.”

“Know your place. What role does the Fourth Prince play?”

“What? The Fourth Prince? Are you done talking?”

The nobles once again began another round of power struggle with each other.

It was only understandable.

The problem arose with Ian, a powerful successor.

They were desperate to make the royal they were pushing to become the next king.

However, the commoners had a different perspective.

“When will the prince wake up?”

“Mom, is the prince going to die?”

“Shush! It’s a bad omen to say such things. Prince Ian is the only one who cares for us.”

They remembered Ian’s good deeds.

He was the only member of the royal family who, during the Northern Expedition, had shown concern for their difficult lives.

Upon hearing that his life was in danger, everyone began to flock to the front of the royal palace.

The surprised guard knights blocked their path.

“Please give this to the prince.”

“This is a special medicine from our family. I believe it will surely help.”

They handed over the items they had brought, all with worried expressions for the ailing Ian.

But that wasn’t all.

“What are the nobles doing? Are they merely watching the wrongdoer?”

“Quickly punish the cardinal!”

“Seek justice for the prince!”

Some individuals even lit up torches while shouting in anger.

Naturally, the nobles were displeased by this scene.
