章 370: Uncannily Familiar (End)

"You are offering me a title?" Basil asked calmly.

"I am offering you a responsibility," Anthony answered calmly. "To be a very well know person—the Kingdom's icon."

"There are many people willing to be a mascot if icon is what you are looking for."

Anthony merely laughed at Basil's response. 'This lad is really fearless; he doesn't care about what I might think. Good, I like it. I can't stand being surrounded by bootlickers!'

Turning his eyes away from the smirking Anthony, Basil observed the expression of the Queen. She seemed slightly surprised, which indicated that Anthony did something that was different from what she had expected.

'Anthony is really dragging me into his family's matter,' Basil thought in annoyance. 'He wants to use me against his whole family, huh?'

The ongoing feud between each of his sons frustrated Anthony. All of them only cared about being the best candidate, but none of them knew how to be a good King.
