Chapter 211

People jerked around together to look at the source of that voice.

A young man pushed through the crowd and rushed in.

He was a teenager, roughly 15 years old, standing at a lean and agile figure.

His golden curly hair cascaded in unruly waves, framing a very youthful face.

He had a pair of piercing blue eyes, which reminded Janet of a certain person right. here in this room.

She looked to Westin, and then back to this young man again.

The similarity was striking

These two were definitely related.

“Prince Wells.”

The group of people bowed to him in unison.

There was a tight frown between Westin’s brows, “Not now Wells. We are dealing with important matters here.”

That young man named Wells pouted, looking indignant, “You haven’t even heard me out yet, brother! I know there was a poisoned barrel at the ball tonight and you are looking for the person responsible. I happen to have a witness!”

He beckoned to somebody outside of the crowd.

A maid with a freckled face, dressed in an apron, slowly made her way into people’s sight, holding her head down.

“K–King Westin…Elders….Good day,” said she in a small, shaky voice.

“This is Sammy, the kitchen maid,” Wells introduced.

Elder Lamonte surveyed Sammy with piercing eyes, “What is she doing here? Prince Wells, we don’t have time to waste on someone irrelevant.”

Wells gritted his teeth.

A rumbling growl came from his throat.

“Watch your tone!” he snarled, “The only person who gets to scold me is my brother, the King! The rest of you should learn to respect your prince!”

The other elders lowered their heads in silence.

“Fine.” Elder Lamonte said, looking disdainful still. “Do continue, my prince.”
