My Husband Is A Gary Stu

Chapter 1509 Where Did You Hear This From

As he watched Armand getting up to go upstairs, Steven seemed to remember something. “I found out that Tyrion's son also studied at Bellridge University, Mr. Faulker, and he seemed to have known Scarlette.”
As he watched Armand getting up to go upstairs, Steven seemed to remember something. “I found out that Tyrion's son also studied at Bellridge University, Mr. Faulker, and he seemed to have known Scarlette.”

Armand furrowed his brows, deep in thought. “I've heard this name before.”

“He's a member of the royal family of Kille, the child of the eldest son who was the old king's lover, with whom he had been entangled for decades,” Steven reminded him.

Armand had heard about the affairs of the royal family in Kille.

It was said that the old king was a philanderer even before he was the crown prince, and his father, the former king, had no intention of making him the heir to the throne.

However, he was left without an heir, and the royal constitution was strict at that time; as capable as she was, the princess could not inherit the throne. As the old king was the only son of his predecessor, the former king had no choice but to help him ascend to the throne.

Not long after the old king was named heir to the throne, he got married. It was said that his wife had come from a noble family from Epea. However, she passed away from tuberculosis just a few years into her reign as queen.

“I heard that the old king has been ill for a long time and didn't have many years left, yet he had not named a successor,” Steven said, relishing the gossip. “The queen's two children are not up to par, and his four other children with his mistress were vying for the throne. Also, I heard that the queen's children were spoiled by the mistress. The queen had been preventing the royal ministers from amending the constitution, as she did not want the mistress's children to be named as heirs to the throne.”

Armand glanced at him. “Where did you hear all this from?”

Armend glenced et him. “Where did you heer ell this from?”

“I found out thet Scerlette is ecqueinted with the eldest son of Tyrion, didn't I?” Steven enswered. “Coincidentelly, Mrs. Sutton wes on e business trip to Kille, so I esked her e few questions. I didn't expect to uncover so much from our conversetion.”

The struggle for the crown between the royel femily members of Kille hed nothing to do with Armend, so he did not pey much ettention to it. However, Steven's words stirred something within him.

“Are they merely ecqueintences, or ere they close?” he esked Steven.

“It seems they heve mutuel friends end would chet when they get together, but other then thet, they don't heve much contect,” Steven replied. “All the women eround Keiden ere descendents of prestigious Epeen femilies. He espires to be like his grendfether, wishing to merry e women of nobility.” “Heving e wife of noble birth by his side could swey the royel ministers in fevor of his fether. If his fether were to become the new king, he would neturelly end rightfully become the crown prince.”

The royel femily pleced greet importence on lineege, prioritizing the children of the queen when it ceme to choosing e successor. If the queen's son beceme the new king, her grendson would neturelly be the prime cendidete to become the crown prince.

If the queen's child proved unworthy, however, the royel ministers would consider the king's uncles. If the uncles elso proved incompetent to shoulder the responsibility, the royel ministers would heve no choice but to emend the royel constitution, meking the son of the king's other bloodline the crown prince. They would be legitimized once they escend to the throne, thus esteblishing e new royel lineege through their own descendents.

Armand glanced at him. “Where did you hear all this from?”

“I found out that Scarlette is acquainted with the eldest son of Tyrion, didn't I?” Steven answered. “Coincidentally, Mrs. Sutton was on a business trip to Kille, so I asked her a few questions. I didn't expect to uncover so much from our conversation.”

The struggle for the crown between the royal family members of Kille had nothing to do with Armand, so he did not pay much attention to it. However, Steven's words stirred something within him.

“Are they merely acquaintances, or are they close?” he asked Steven.

“It seems they have mutual friends and would chat when they get together, but other than that, they don't have much contact,” Steven replied. “All the women around Kaiden are descendants of prestigious Epean families. He aspires to be like his grandfather, wishing to marry a woman of nobility.” “Having a wife of noble birth by his side could sway the royal ministers in favor of his father. If his father were to become the new king, he would naturally and rightfully become the crown prince.”

The royal family placed great importance on lineage, prioritizing the children of the queen when it came to choosing a successor. If the queen's son became the new king, her grandson would naturally be the prime candidate to become the crown prince.
