章 647: ABOUT AS WELL AS IT COULD

ALL three Grimaldi men turned their gaze to Gage the moment he said that. Given that the conversation carried easily through the back garden, there was no way the prince hadn't overheard. Was Gage really not concerned about that? Then again, they found themselves in quiet agreement with the idea, so perhaps it wasn't such a problem after all.

It wasn't as if their family lacked the power to carry out an assassination. Sure, they could lose most of their wealth in the process, and perhaps even become the Empire's most wanted. But what of it? The price would be worth paying. Of course, they wouldn't act unless the prince truly hurt Astrid.

They exchanged glances, their eyes returning to Gage. This son-in-law/brother-in-law, was proving to be more reliable than they had anticipated.
