    “Besides, I could tell you have feelings for Dr. Felch, right? I''m sure you''ll be d if you get to keep her


    in the country.”


    “But...”

    “Stop acting like a naggy wench.” Federico did not want to waste his energy on William anymore. “If


    you want me to investigate the contamination of the water source, then do as I say. Otherwise, I''ll turn a


    blind eye to that incident. And I''ll still get your cousins to do the job on your behalf. If this happens, trust


    me, you''ll not get anything out of it.”


    Federico''s warning sounded like a threat.


    William knew he had no choice but to resign to his fate. “All right, Grandpa. I''ll heed your advice.”


    “That''s more like it,” Federico responded with a smile of satisfaction. “Everything I''m doing now is for


    your own good. After all, you''re my sessor and will take over my position in the future. Besides, your


    leg will only recover in another half a year. Isn''t it great to have her take care of you?”


    “Yes.” William decided to y along and not refute Federico.


    “You can leave now.” Federico gestured for him to go. “Go back and take a rest.”


    William froze for a moment. “But they''re already here, aren''t they?”


    He thought Federico would reprimand his cousins in front of him and investigate the poisoning of the


    water source. But he asked me to leave, so...


    “It takes time to sort things out,” Federico exined. “I''ll keep my promise and look into it, so don''t


    worry. Have faith in your grandpa, okay?”


    William could only keep mum after getting Federico''s reassurance. He nodded and said, “All right. Got


    it.”


    Federico then gestured for a subordinate toe in and wheel William out.


    Before leaving, William heard his cousins greeting Federico. “Grandpa, we miss you!”


    Federico responded with augh. “Come,e. We have top-grade red wine to go with tonight''s


    dinner.”


    Listening to his affectionateughter and observing how they exchanged pleasantries made William


    question if Federico would fulfill his promise and investigate them for the water contamination


    issue. What a happy family.


    William felt a prickling pain in his heart. As a breeze brushed through his face when he looked to the


    sky, he seemed to havee to his senses.


    Federico was an old, sly fox who used the throne as bait to get him to betray his friend.


    The so-called investigation and session n were nothing but just empty promises.


    In the end, Federico would get a few scapegoats to take the me to appease William.


    Federico could also easily exclude him from the session n with the reason that William was not


    qualified and not suitable to ascend to the throne. How ironic. How naive of me to believe all the


    promises he made.


    William thought Federico would feel a pang of guilt after listening to what Francesca said. He thought


    Federico would be willing to groom him to be the next king because he finally saw potential in


    him.


    At that moment, William finally realized he was nothing but a pawn.


    William lowered his eyes and remained silent while waiting for the subordinate to carry him to the car.


    A downpour ensued while he was on his way back. New chаpter av?ble on Drаmanоvels.cом


    After ncing at the castle amidst the misty rain, he realized how stony-hearted and inhuman that


    ce was and was disgusted by it.


    William clenched his fists. One day, I''ll stand on my own feet and enter the castle with my head held


    high while trampling on their blood.
