    Chapter 1753: The King Announces Abdication


    This morning''s emergency meeting at the Lu Layeka royal pce summoned all the important figures


    holding positions within the kingdom.


    d in formal attire, the attendees engaged in lively discussions.


    "Is it true that the king is truly unfit? Is he really going to hand over full power to Prince Louis?"


    "It seems likely. What other urgent matter could there be?"


    "But I heard a rumorst night. They say the king''s illness is rted to Eden. That Eden has been


    poisoning the king for a long time."


    "Goodness, that must be a rumor, right?"


    "..."


    The king of Lu Layeka, in matters of state, held real power and authority over the military.


    Bertie was a sessful politician, with remarkable ideas, fostering friendly rtions with neighboring


    countries. He was adept at learning and contemting, dedicating at least 17 hours of work daily, every


    second devoted to the welfare of his people.


    Many at the emergency internal meeting were already aware of the reason for the summons, while


    some were in the dark, having missed the dramatic events of the previous night.


    The conference hall was vast, covering several hundred square meters, unusually spacious and


    extravagantly adorned. Such a venue was reserved for only the most solemn and significant gatherings


    in Lu Layeka.


    Upon entering, everyone sensed the gravity of the asion, understanding the importance of the


    meeting.


    By eight o''clock, everyone had arrived early. The enormous crystal chandeliers emitted a brilliant glow,


    illuminating every corner of the conference hall.


    King Bertie sat in the foremost position, nked by two loyalmanders.


    Government officials sat beside the long table, while Mr. and Mrs. Marsh had been invited to sit


    ire also sat beside the court, having received a simr invitation.


    The two princes sat opposite each other, with their father at the head of the table, the recent events


    having brought them closer.


    Queen Catherine and Julie were also in attendance.

    As everyoneid eyes on the king, some were aware of the truth, while others, a portion of them, were


    curious. The king''s demeanor did not at all resemble that of a seriously ill man; it was indeed quite


    perplexing.


    The king calmly began to speak, recounting the events of the previous night in the simplest of terms to


    the gathering. He also candidly addressed his own health and explicitly pointed to Eden as the


    assant.


    The revtion that Eden had been poisoning the king for a staggering five years left everyone in


    profound shock!


    "Eden''s crimes are unforgivable. As per thew, there will be no pardons. The death penalty will be


    carried out within a week," the king''s voice was as cold as ice, his words resolute, carrying a tone of a


    warning to others.


    "General Lee," the king nced sideways, then spoke again.


    "Yourmand, Your Majesty," General Lee stood up, respectfully bowing.


    "You are responsible for eradicating all of Eden''s influence within the royal court," the king ordered, "No


    matter who they are, I will not tolerate any corruption within the royal family. Cleanse it entirely."


    "Yes, Your Majesty," General Lee''s demeanor was resolute.


    "Although I am in recovery, my decision to abdicate is final. Lu Layeka will be handed over to Prince


    Louis for governance. I have chosen a propitious date for the session ceremony, which will take


    ce next Friday, the 28th," the king announced.


    Rowan turned his gaze toward his father, his features deep and inscrutable, a slight pause in his


    heartbeat.


    Subsequently, apuse echoed through the meeting room.


    All eyes turned to Rowan, with smiles suggesting their approval of him.


    Earlier, the king had also introduced him, stating that he was an outstanding pharmacist, a prodigious


    physician who had always cared for the people, having developed many potent medicines, truly a


    person of greatpassion.


    Despite the circumstances, the apuse continued. He couldn''t openly dispute his father, nor could he


    prompt him to reconsider. However, deep down, Rowan truly did not want to be king.


    He saw Queen Catherine and Julie pping as well, expressing their affirmative gazes toward him.


    Rowan rose from his seat, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. Despite the conflicting emotions


    within him, he graciously nodded to everyone, conveying his gratitude for their support.
