Capítulo 99: Shift in power

With the exception of the Mother Queen, Aziel, and Princess Emily, everyone else's faces displayed frowns and questioning gazes at Dante's sudden proclamation. They stared at each other as if seeking answers before their eyes shifted back to focus on Dante and Maxwell. 

Queen Maya, apprehensive that her son would expose their grand scheme, quickly tried to divert everyone's attention by suggesting, "I think we should allow the girl to rest and have everyone leave the room."

But a dry chuckle escaped from Maxwell's lips, his voice carrying a hint of mockery as he said, "How bold of you, Brother, to make such a statement. And to take her for your own?" He continued, "This woman here is one of the palace's valuable treasures, and your mere word is not enough to claim her. You will need to submit a formal request in writing… just like every one of us has done in the past. Do correct me if I am wrong, Mother Queen."
