"I am unable to understand Prince Édouard. If His Grace allows me to find Henry, then he will win the challenge. His Majesty will have no option but to order a death penalty to Consort Ariane and Beatrice," Rainard said.
"Rainard, I have promised Damien that I will find out the truth. If Father is exposed now, then I won't be able to reach the truth for Damien. I challenged my Father so that I will lose against him. I want Ariane and Beatrice to come out of prison," Édouard explained to Rainard.
"What did His Grace promise Damien?" His forehead creased.
"He saved my wife's life. I want to give Damien what he desires the most. If I weaken my father now, I won't be able to reach the truth. Moreover, Henry will never admit that he acted on Father's order. The nobility and the aristocrats may call my acts immoral. I do not want a rebellion to happen," Édouard asserted.
Rainard didn't think that far. He apologized to Édouard for not understanding the depth of the matter.
