Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1372

Nicholas walked into Hayden's courtyard, holding an umbrella. He entered the house and dismissed everyone, not even allowing Chaya to stay.

Hayden had just finished his meal, and the table still had leftover food that the servants were about to clean up.

Nicholas sat down, picked up Hayden's cutlery, and started eating the leftovers. He ate gracefully as usual, which disgusted and angered Hayden.

He had been raised with such refinement, every move reflecting the casual demeanor expected of a prince. Unfortunately, he had a ruthless ambition and a cruel nature.

Nicholas finished all the leftover food, then set down the cutlery and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "We shouldn't waste food. I happen to be hungry as well. Surely you won't mind, Dad?"

Hayden's voice was cold. "It's fine. It was going to be fed to the dogs anyway. You may as well eat it." "You think I'm a dog, Dad? Then, what are you?" Nicholas smiled, his expression brightening. "I came to share some good news with you. We'll soon get what we want."

Hayden's heart sank, though he feigned indifference. "Throughout history, rebels have never met a good end. You won't be the exception."

Nicholas smiled. "You need not worry, Dad. I'll be the exception. You can just wait to be crowned king." Hayden sneered. "Since you're so sure of yourself, I won't say anything more. But there's one thing I've never had an answer to. Perhaps today, you can enlighten me."

Nicholas didn't ask what it was, simply nodding. "It was I who did it."
