“After you, Sir Prescott.”

With one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, Axel’s other hand gestured toward the door.

“Hmph!” Warrick shot a cold glance at Axel’s subtle movement and then turned to leave the meeting room.

Even if Austin had his suspicions, Warrick knew he couldn’t do anything to him without concrete evidence.

Axel escorted Warrick back to Room A1.

After closing the door, he went to Room A2 and led Huxley to the meeting room.

“Your Highness, it is my privilege to stand before you.”

Huxley entered the meeting room with a respectful salute.

“Mr. Thatcher, please take a seat.”

Austin’s face remained neutral as he gestured for Huxley to sit, then motioned for Axel to pour him a cup of tea.

“Do you know why I’ve summoned you here today?” Austin spoke calmly, and his words carried the same probing tone as earlier.
