Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 472: Rebelion By Howard

At Belvorn

There was political and rebellious turmoil after Caryn was taken away by James in front of everyone during her coronation ceremony and later declared as his wife.

It showed he had no intention of letting her stay in Belvorn. And with Natalie having chosen to be the CEO of the Harper Group over accepting the title of Princess of Belvorn, many people were now worried about who would become the next Queen.

Howard took full advantage of this situation and rallied those people to side with him, claiming that Charlotte should be the next Princess.

They had already raised the issue of a change in royal power secretly, having many influential and powerful people in the country on their side. He made the case that the Queen’s daughter and granddaughter were no longer Belvorn citizens, and that their loyalty lay with another country, as they had chosen to live with their husbands.

The country was in chaos, as Howard and Garwin had gone into rebellion against the Queen. They had even gained control over the Belvorn military and were preparing for a power shift.

Caryn was aware of everything happening secretly in Belvorn—everything was within her expectations. She had arrived in Belvorn not just to meet her mother, but also to lure the enemies into making their move. She was simply waiting for the right time to strike, to crush the enemies in one blow and leave them no room to claim innocence.

And Howard did just that. He crossed the line—and now, he was going to face the consequences.
