THE CROWN PRINCE'S GRAND SCHEME

"DUKE WINCHESTER, I don't think you see the big picture here," Rufus said to Duke Arman Winchester, the leader of the Noble Faction. "I know that you're watching everything unfold with glee because you believe that the monarchy is about to get abolished."

"Well, isn't that the case, Duke Quinzel?" Duke Arman Winchester scoffed. "His Majesty already ran away to the East Continent, and Prince Nero took an oath to step down once he reinstated Lady Juliet Sloane as the empress, and processed His Majesty's divorce."

He sipped his tea before he spoke. "I didn't know that you were this small-minded, Duke Winchester."

"Did you visit my manor just to insult me, Duke Quinzel?"

That was right.

Rufus was the one who visited Duke Arman Winchester.
