Chapter 288: Fell into the Trap

After the meeting with Prince Paul and Duke Lancer, Rick secretly sneaked out of the royal palace and continued living his daily life until night. Along the street in the city, Rick was inside his carriage on his way home after another sold-out show. 

Rick was alone in the carriage, excluding the coachman. For a certain reason, he told the others to go first. He noticed something odd around him, so he intended to be alone to deal with it. 

Peering out from the jet glass window pane as he looked at the midnight snow, Rick recalled the thing that Paul told him this morning after they finished the meeting. Paul told him, "I want to dethrone my father and become the king. But my brother is still there, so I want your help to get rid of him by any means."

During their discussion, Paul revealed his plan to usurp his father. However, he was still not the crowd prince. In order to make his plans successful, he asked Rick to take care of him.
