"So, how does it feel, lying in the bed with the pretty woman?" A voice came from out of the blue.
Sitting up, Francis asked instead, "How is it going?"
"Some of Felix's men have decided not to join us. But the rest are still thinking about it. I'm pretty sure that it's just a matter of
time before they join us. On the other hand, I just don't understand why you acted so boldly today. You even got yourself sick just
so you could be with that woman for a while," Jason teased. "You even asked me to keep Zack from leaving the palace. Aren't
you worried at all that Matthew might get suspicious?"
"That man has never trusted me anyway," Francis replied slowly. "It won't make that much of a difference. He might just become

Maxwell's only son was a perfect excuse for Harper's execution.
Everyone believed that was going to be the end of her. No one would have expected that she would ask for Matthew's help. As
the official in charge of the execution, Matthew showed a rare act of kindness. But was it true that he helped Harper just out of

Back then, Francis was under the assumption that their father merely wanted to make Felix a better heir to the throne through the challenges from the other princes.
