Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1184

Brielle couldn't help but smile at his eagerness to explain. Her curiosity was piqued, and King noticed, so he kept talking.

"The leader of the base, Irene, is the daughter of a royal princess and has a claim to the throne. The royal family is split-some support her, others back Arthur. Right now, Arthur is the public favorite, and if all goes well, he'll be the next President of the North American Royal Family."

Brielle watched Prince Arthur handling the global media's scrutiny with well-rehearsed statements about cooperation and transparency.

The tension in the room was thick. Many hostages had returned home with psychological scars, and as they slowly recovered, they'd reveal the base's secrets. The royal family should be thankful these hostages didn't know about their collaboration with the base. Brielle's brow furrowed as she watched the press conference. "King, if there are people in the royal family supporting Irene, were they part of that chaotic night at the base?"

King gently took her fingers and kissed them tenderly. "No, Prince Arthur teamed up with us. He betrayed the royal members who supported Irene. We secured those individuals before heading to the base."

Brielle stayed quiet, focusing on the live broadcast. Prince Arthur continued to dodge the press with a sincerity that barely hid his deep-seated contempt.
