To avoid false rumors of him sitting with a black-haired young lady, Zander and the other men rode horses while the crowd greeted and watched them in confusion.
After leaving the capital towards the palace, the carriage stopped when Zander halted and got off the horse. Before Marvin could prepare himself, a fierce punch landed on his face.
"Your Royal Highness…" Zander's aide tried to stop him.
Marvin was thinking of all the possibilities. Being punched in the face, there wasn't just fear of the crown prince but anger for raising his hand on him. Even his father would think before raising his voice at him, how dare this man hit him?
Freya, who peeked out of the window, rushed out and blocked Zander from hitting Marvin again. "Father, what are you doing?" Her tone was higher than normal.
