章 1372: Chapter 1372

"You just asked her what I had told her at the banquet, didn't you?" Simon stood up and walked up to Lara. "I told her don't worry. Charlie would at most gain the right to inherit the throne now. The news has broadcasted that Nangong Yen has fled, and he'll come to Ruidan soon. By then... we'll have a chance of winning."

"What?" Lara was shocked as well. "You've already told her that Nangong is here?"

"I just told her that Nangong Yen escaped from the international police station," Simon said. "After all, she has been accompanying His Majesty, who is seriously ill, in the palace these days. She has no time to read the news, so she doesn't know that her brother is out, does she?"

He added, "It's just that I didn't expect to hear this from her. It hasn't been long before we received news of the assassination of Charlie. The police who tried to arrest me have also come to the palace."
