There was a little smile on Andres's lips when he looked at the ex-official. "It seems like you can't wait to know why," he pointed out and turned to Orius. "I think my cousin should explain."
Every ex-official there knew the identity of the cousin in question. When they looked at Orius, one ex-official abruptly rose from his seat.
"How can you expect us to listen to the one who killed our Crown Prince?!" he exclaimed and pointed his finger at Orius. "He and the Masked Commander who turned out to be his sister are the ones who destroy us!"
Despite maintaining his composure, Crown Prince Andres's face turned darkened. His sharp gaze was fixated on the ex-official who just spoke up when he said, "Then you should also know that I'm the cousin of the two whom you just mentioned."
With the Crown Prince's voice that clearly hinted at rage, the ex-official couldn't say more and complete silence fell upon the chamber where they gathered.
