As Carissa spoke, she lifted the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp. Her bold gesture made Rafael smile.

"By the way, why did the crown prince of Westhaven appear in Fawnrun City?"

Carissa had always been puzzled about that. She had heard that this prince was highly esteemed in Westhaven, known for his wisdom and virtue.

Why had he been in Fawnrun City? After all, he wasn't a military general,

"There's internal strife within the Westhaven royal family. The crown prince was framed by the second prince and forced to go to the battlefield. Liam knew the crown prince couldn't fight, so he hid him in Fawnrun City, as it was away from the fighting. No one expected he would encounter Aurora," Rafael explained

"The second prince?" Carissa frowned slightly. "With the death of the crown prince of Westhaven, the other princes will vie for the throne. If the second prince becomes the crown prince, it won't be good for Starhaven."

After all, the second prince harbored hostility and malice towards Starhaven.

"Yes, but Liam intends to support the third prince's ascension. The third prince and the crown prince are actual brothers, but the third prince is not yet a marquis. Liam faces many challenges, and the king of Westhaven is already gravely ill and may not last much longer," Rafael added.

Carissa understood. "So, this time, Westhaven wants to regain some dignity, avenge themselves, and then quickly retreat to handle their internal turmoil. They are concealing the crown prince's death, but once it's revealed, they can tell the people of Westhaven that they've avenged the prince."
