"You're spouting nonsense. It's as clear as day that Prince Felix harbored resentment and killed the late emperor. Prince Francis
became so furious that he ended up killing Prince Felix."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Lucas asked, feeling quite amused. "When I came back to the imperial capital and saw my
father, the first thing he said was that Francis was trying to kill him, and he even handed over the testamentary edict he prepared
long ago to me. You said that Francis has the testamentary edict, but I have it in my possession as well. I am wondering which

When Maxwell looked around, he saw that everyone was shocked. Then, he looked at Zack, who didn't seem surprised at all, as
though he was already aware of it. The little fox was actually in on it, but he hadn't told him anything.
Francis got word that there was something wrong, so he rushed to the palace gates, with Jason following closely behind him.
When Francis finally appeared, all the officials who had been whispering suddenly stopped and looked at him, hoping that he
