"May the Empire flourish forever, may the rose bloom eternally!"
The crowd shouted in unison as the old king lowered his scepter and left the podium.
The bodyguard and several assistants had already rushed over to protect the Grand Duchess and Ivana.
"Take them into the Royal Palace!"
Lucas waved his hand, signaling his subordinates. They immediately escorted the two up the steps and into the palace.
Standing on the staircase, Lucas's gaze fell on Prince Dodge's face through the distance.
From afar, Dodge met his gaze with a smile and a bow.
Lucas slowly curled his lips into a cold smile.
Then, he turned and entered the Royal Palace.
In the king's Office Room, the Grand Duchess was folding her arms, her face clearly showing anger.
"It must have been Prince Dodge's doing!"
With someone as foolish as Carl, he could never muster such courage and intellect, he is but a puppet.
Ivana sat on a sofa to the side, her brow slightly furrowed, "But... what do we do now?"
