Taylor realized that something was off with the atmosphere today, so he focused his attention. "What's going on? Has something happened?"
"Don't be so idle all day," the woman raised her gaze and asked earnestly, "Can't you have a sense of crisis?"
"Why should I have a sense of crisis?" Taylor laughed.
He casually sat on the couch. "They've been saying that Father is seriously ill for the past two years, but he's still doing fine, isn't he?"
"Besides, even if Father dies, isn't it only natural for the throne to fall into my hands? Can Eden or Arthur snatch it away?" Taylor didn't even consider them a threat.
"Father is still alive, our family is intact, so no matter what happens, I don't need to worry about anything. I just hope Father lives a long and healthy life!" Taylor picked up a teacup, took a sip, and then chuckled. "You can rest assured, Queen Mother. Your position is ultimately secure. It can't be taken away! It's just a matter of time."
Katharine listened to his words without interrupting. If she had heard these words before, she wouldn't have taken them seriously. After all, they made sense.
But now the situation was clearly different. The King had secretly brought Louis back without consulting her, the Queen.
Clearly, the King's focus was leaning towards his eldest son.
"Louis has returned," Katharine said calmly, observing her son's expression.
"Louis? Who is Louis?" Taylor didn't pay much attention. He met his mother's gaze and saw the seriousness in her eyes. He paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. "Louis?" The name surfaced in his mind, not unfamiliar to him.
Katharine remained silent, calmly and seriously observing him, hoping he would take this matter seriously.
Taylor expressed disbelief. "Prince Louis?" He confirmed with his mother, "The son of Queen Elsa and Father? The crown prince?"
"Yes," Katharine's gaze grew solemn. "He has returned and intends to challenge you for the throne. He is in the palace with your father."
