"Are you really doing this for my mother?"

Richard stepped forward and blocked the queen and Simon's vision from each other from a distance.

Prince Richard at this moment was so rational that it made people feel terrible.

"My mother didn't ask you to do this, did he?" he said coldly, "from beginning to end, you were just wishful thinking."

"… Wishful thinking?" Simon's emotions also began to become unstable.

"You said I'm wishful thinking?"

really.

Sure enough, people from the Maysfield family were even cold in their bodies.

Even Richard, who is her biological son, would not care about how she felt...

"Give up your mind, the delusions about how my mother is doing in private." Richard expressionless.

"Before this, have you not met for nearly twenty years? You, and the princess you remember, are no longer what you were like before."

"To her today, Lornes is her real home, with her relatives and friends, as well as me and my brother. On the contrary, Stuart is a completely unfamiliar place to her. Those old relatives and friends have long faded away with the passage of time... She is no longer the princess of Stuart, but the queen of Lornes."

Richard said calmly and firmly, "She has become completely used to life here. As a queen, she never needs you to save her. Everything you do is for yourself."

"Not like this!" Simon shouted: "The reason I did so much is just to make her have a happy life-"

"That's just to satisfy your own desires!"

Richard interrupted him.

"... Whether it is the so-called efforts or the attempt to assassinate me or my father, when you do these things, you actually didn't think about the bad consequences my mother would face, but just immersed in the drama you arranged for yourself."

"It was not my mother who really pushed you to this point, but you, who firmly believed that the stage was playing a scene to save the princess!"

After being given such an evaluation by Richard, Simon was stunned.

Standing outside the crowd, Wien couldn't see the look of the queen with her back facing her.

But he noticed that the queen's tightly clenched fist stopped trembling.

"The farce is coming to an end," he whispered.

Chris said inexplicably: "Hmm?"

"Even if the queen was moved by the friendship of the past, the son she valued the most clearly stated her attitude, and it was not difficult to make her make a choice." Wien sighed. "... In order to save Richard, the queen was willing to even give away Lawrence."

The subsequent development was exactly the same as what Wayne guessed.

The queen tried her best to restrain her emotions and barely recovered from calmness.

"Lampert, I'm sorry," she said.

"I don't know that things in the past have caused you such a big misunderstanding, but I have never expected anyone to save them, and I don't need that kind of thing."

Compared to just now, the queen's tone became much colder.

To a certain extent, she was quite similar to the king of the leader at this moment.

"I said when I left Stuart, I hope you can live a good life in the future, and what you do is exactly the opposite of what I expected."

The words spoken from the queen's mouth hurt Simon's heart more than any sharp blade.

He looked at the queen in disbelief, as if he had known this woman for the first time in his life.

"You...what did you say..."

The queen glanced at him with extremely complicated eyes.

But her tone finally no longer contains any tenderness.

"You are just the guards around me in the past. We have never had any promises or personal affair. Lambert... You attacked my son first and assassinated my husband later, and you still have the face to tell me just to make me happy?"

Facing her loud questioning, Simon's eyes were bloodshot and he struggled madly.

"Not like this, not like this..."

The nobles who had already maintained a certain distance around them subconsciously dispersed a little more.

Just as he was screaming, Richard suddenly looked at him with a sharp look, he pulled out his sword from his waist and stabbed it in one step.

The sharp blade slashed the skin, and the hot blood spilled down on His Royal Highness the gorgeous dress.

With countless unexpected or horrified eyes, he slowly inserted the still blood-stained cold light back into the scabbard.

The prince, who had always been so perfect that he was a little unreal, looked invisible under the shadows.

"Mr. Simon assassinated the king and slandered the queen...the crime should be punished."

The whole audience was silent.

...

The twists and turns of the banquet ended quickly.

Richard's unexpected behavior even the king couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

No one cares about what happened to the banquet. Although the king finally warned the news that the news should not be spread, he thought with his toes that such a big shock could not be hidden.

However, compared to the old gossip news in private by the king and the queen, what is more eye-catching is the sword that Richard suddenly stabbed out.

"Don't sleep after you get home, go to the study to wait for me."

After reuniting with his children, Duke Elliot said solemnly.

Wien and Chris naturally understood what he meant and nodded obediently.

Unlike the big fanfare and competition when they went to the meeting, they all looked in a hurry when they left, looking like they were afraid of staying for a long time.

Crys was worried about his own carriage.

"Winn..." She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

Wien held her hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid, don't worry too much. Richard can handle these things."

To be honest, even he didn't expect Richard to use this violent method to solve the problem, which was too contrasted with the impression that the prince usually left.

However, he believed that Richard must be sure.

"Oh..." Chris sighed long, hugged Vien's arm, leaning softly against his shoulder.

"You said, why did they become like this..."

Are you asking the King, Queen, or Richard?

Wien said uncertainly: "Maybe fate is going to do something."

He gave an answer that seemed omnipotent, but was actually just a nonsense.

Tonight, although Simon died under Richard's sword, there were still many secrets in him that were not answered.
