"This is a two-day-old newspaper." said the old king.
"I'm sorry... I... I haven't read the newspapers for the past few days." the duchess scrambled to explain.
The assistant didn't inform the aged king about the duchess's disappearance due to his old age. Consequently, he was oblivious to the fact that the duchess had been kidnapped.
The duchess, having been seized by Captain Jake, only found out about Lucas Walker's intention to relinquish his inheritance now.
After thoroughly reading the news article, the duchess clenched her fist around the newspaper, "I'm going to find him now."
"COCO!" The old king reached out, grabbing her arm. "We both know KING's character well. He must have a reason for making such a decision. I will talk to him about this matter. Otherwise, you two will argue again. I called you here just to ask if you knew the reason behind this."
