William pov.
"Your highness, his majesty is calling you." I have been waiting for this for a long time. I had thought that he would call me the moment he would hear the news but the whole night had passed yet I did not hear any summons.
Kirian and Lucas looked at me with worry while i just passed them an assuring smile, if worse comes to worse, I will attack him and seize the throne.
It was not like I couldn't do that. I was worried that it would be a golden chance for Gerard to mobilize the citizens against me by proving me as a tyrant who imprisoned his own father. They would not see that whatever I was doing was for the benefit of the empire only.
I walked towards the central palace with thousands of thoughts in my mind and with a heavy heart.
