The newly crowned prince of the Monakre Kingdom spat, "Why him? We can ask Duke Castaña instead! Anyone but him who betrayed Tori's expectations above all else." Venom oozed upon his words, but Cory refrained from replying to the feral prince who was beyond reason and who did not know the reasons behind Cory's actions.
"Duke Castaña must not know about the young lord of House Larat playing mind games with Tori. He will immediately take action and it will draw the attention of the King. Tori worked hard for this just to be destroyed by the king's obvious favor to his firstborn. No offense, Prince Corean."
Cory shrugged. It was a piece of common knowledge that his father favored the first prince as he was the only remnant of his beloved first queen. Corean never bothered with such trivial details. He was contented to keep his mother safe. But a cherry-eyed woman flipped his axis.
