Chapter 143: Silva's mother snaps

The news of the prince killing the Duke was impossible to hide; word got out in hours, and before a day, it reached the ends of the kingdom.

It was a shocker, but what made people far more shocked was the fact that the Duke's son, Oliver, had played a role in this; he had aided the death of his father.

And people could already guess the reason. Someone put out news that Sage was always better than him and stood a better chance of inheriting the family.

Oliver had always felt inferior, yet he still staged to get the position no matter what. But then Silva walked into the picture, the unrivaled definition of a prodigy.

His presence led to heavy insecurities in the heart of Oliver, and in desperation, the prince stretched out an olive branch to him.

Oliver was too far gone to think and so accepted this deal and sought to help kill his father.
