Chapter 288: This is the Father I've always wanted [Bonus chapter]

"Igor, call Laurence," Christian said.

"Father, don't punish Mother. Everything will end if Father does it," Édouard stated.

Andrew decided to speak up too. "Father should calm down before taking any decision," he said. "We all consider Édouard as our eldest brother. For us, he is the eldest prince and that's all matter," he asserted.

Ariane smirked and opened her mouth again. "His Majesty is punishing the person, who betrayed him. The Queen raised someone else's child. She lied to the entire kingdom all the time and fooled them. Also, how can we trust Édouard's words? What if he is also lying about Queen Anneliese's relationship with Philip? What if he is their son?" She made a serious allegation, which enraged Édouard. He stepped up to kill her right away when he heard King Christian speak and that made him stop.
