The entire kingdom's reputation would be affected, and the prestige accumulated by the Auston family over centuries would be tarnished.

In comparison, the death of a mere prince was acceptable.

"Sir Rhode, please forgive this child who has been blinded by anger."

In the awkward atmosphere, Queen Karina slowly stepped forward.

Her eyes showed not a trace of sadness, but rather an unconcealable joy.

After all, with the death of the most threatening First Prince, the only obstacle left for her son to inherit the throne was the Second Prince.

How could she not be happy?

However, she still put on a sorrowful appearance.

She waved her hand, instructing the maids to take away the deceased First Prince.

Killing the Queen's stepson, and the Queen still has to apologize to him, Rhode smirked.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the slightly bowing Queen.

The fluffy court gown, the deep v-neckline cut very low, revealing her snow-white shoulders and collarbone, as well as most of her full hemispheres.

Due to the angle, within that expanse of whiteness, the exceptionally full cleavage was dazzling like an abyss.

It must be said that, apart from the differences in temperament and appearance, this white and tender skin and fiery figure were exactly the same as Little Red Riding Hood.

He just didn't know if the feeling would be the same.

Feeling that fiery gaze, the Queen's beautiful face showed no anger, but rather a strange light in her eyes.

Tightening her arms, she inadvertently made her proud figure even more upright.

Sure enough, no one in this world could resist her charm.

A hint of confidence flashed in the Queen's eyes.

She was confident that with a simple wave of her hand, she could make this handsome knight the first man conquered under the Queen's skirt.

No one could resist her charm.

Even more so, no one could resist the treatment that only the king could enjoy.

Her status, her position.

The feeling of conquering the King's wife, the psychological satisfaction, was sometimes far more tempting than mere figure and appearance.

This was the desire to conquer engraved in men's bones.

She believed that this man would definitely be unable to put her down.

However, not now.

They had plenty of time to slowly get to know each other.

"His Majesty the King is dead!"

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from within the palace.

Dead?

Seeing the guards running out of the palace, the faces of a group of ministers and nobles suddenly became very interesting.

Suspicious and uncertain, their eyes flickering.

But no one showed a strange expression.

It seemed that everyone knew the King would die, but they didn't expect him to die at this particular time.

"Why is it still unable to cure the King's illness?"

Looking at the Queen's sighing and complaining, a group of nobles lowered their heads, unable to bear to look directly.

This acting was a bit too exaggerated.

"Although the King was seriously ill, his condition had always been stable, how could he suddenly die?"

"Could it be the Heart of the Giant..."

A noble suddenly muttered in a low voice, the voice neither too loud nor too soft, but just enough for everyone to hear.

"Shut up!"

The Queen scolded in a low voice, then turned her gaze to Rhode.

"I believe Sir Rhode is innocent, but..."

"Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, no one related to this matter can leave the palace. Sir Rhode, could you please stay in the palace for a few days?"

Saying it was a temporary stay was actually equivalent to being imprisoned in the palace.

Rhode narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly the expressions of the surrounding knights visibly became tense.

After all, this was the Great Knight who had slain the giant.

If they really fought, they probably wouldn't last a few rounds.

"Since that's the case, then I'll stay in the palace for a few days."

Rhode's lips curled up, the good show had just begun, how could he possibly leave?

He turned and walked towards the palace.

When passing by the Second Prince, the Second Prince, who had been looking sad, suddenly stiffened.

A low voice sounded in his ear.

"Your Highness, you wouldn't want your identity to be exposed, would you?"

The Second Prince, whose body was stiff, changed his face, turned to look at Rhode's back, and clenched his fists tightly.

A rare look of panic and helplessness appeared in his eyes.

This guy!

How did he find out?

Chapter 83: Big and White!

Inside the closed room.

Rhode sat quietly on the bed, his right eye a patch of darkness.

In his vision, a gecko was climbing along the corner of the wall into the palace.

Inside a room in the palace.

A group of nobles and ministers gathered together.

In the air, the serious atmosphere carried a depressing solemnity.

On the white bed, Auston III closed his eyes with a somewhat ferocious expression, as if he had suffered unimaginable pain before his death.

The King is dead!

This was something everyone had already confirmed.

But at this moment, no one was in the mood to care about a dead man.

Compared to the already deceased King, they were now more concerned about which prince could inherit the throne.

Inherit the name of Auston and continue to rule this kingdom.

A group of ministers and nobles all had their own factions, and the ministers and nobles who had once sided with the First Prince now had to ponder which side they should stand on.

After all, if they chose the wrong camp, they would definitely be targeted by the new King after he ascended the throne, which would be a loss.

After a moment of silence, a steady minister slowly spoke.

"The King died suddenly, but the Auston Kingdom cannot be without a King. The First Prince is dead, and the Third Prince is too young to be convincing."

"Therefore, the most suitable person to inherit the throne now is the Second Prince."

"We can let the Second Prince inherit the throne and become the new King."

As soon as the minister spoke, a group of fence-sitting ministers and nobles began to unanimously agree.

Queen Karina's eyes darkened, and she glanced at a noble middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in the crowd.

Baron Tadis saw this, coughed lightly, and slowly walked out.

"I think the Third Prince is young and intelligent, and he can become the new King."

He originally didn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter of the King's heir.

After all, he was living very comfortably in his own territory, and getting involved in this risky matter would be asking for trouble.

If the competition failed, he might be suppressed by the new King, which would be a loss.

However, thinking of the Queen's secret letter, and the beautiful girl he had seen before.

Baron Tadis ultimately couldn't resist the Queen's sugar-coated bullets.

The Queen's niece, named Brittany, amazed him at first sight.

Although she was nominally marrying his son, everyone knew the peculiarities of the Tadis family.

The father and son always enjoyed a woman at the same time.

Moreover, the Queen's niece marrying into the Tadis family would allow him to interact with the Queen frequently with this relationship.

This beautiful Queen was like an unattainable pearl in the Auston Kingdom.

Her maturity, her beauty, and her perfect and plump body.

Whether it was her temperament or appearance, she made the nobles of the entire kingdom fall for her.

But apart from the King, no one had ever been able to capture her and obtain her gentleness and beauty.

Therefore, enjoying the treatment that only the King could enjoy was something all nobles dreamed of.

If he could use this opportunity to get closer to the Queen.

Perhaps he would be the first man to enter the Queen's after the King.

Just thinking about this possibility made him excited.

However, it was not so easy to gain the Queen's favor.

Which of the nobles and ministers of the Auston Kingdom didn't want to enjoy the King's treatment?

There were countless people who secretly approached the Queen.

But over the years, no one had ever been able to obtain even a little bit of favor from this Queen.

Not even her jade hand, which made people dream, had any knight been able to kiss.

But now, he saw an opportunity.

Ambition!

The Queen's ambition was great, she wanted her son to become the King.

If he used this as blackmail, perhaps he could make the Queen succumb to his feet.

Baron Tadis glanced at the Queen's beautiful body without leaving a trace, his heart burning.

Once a person has needs, weaknesses will appear.

If the Third Prince wanted to become the King, he had to get his strong support, so...

Not only would Brittany marry his son, but he was also determined to have this beautiful and flirtatious Queen.

One for each, the father and son would divide equally.

Baron Tadis' sudden speech caused the atmosphere in the room to stagnate.

After all, this was the most powerful baron around the Auston Kingdom, what did his statement at this time represent?
