Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 1753

Chapter 1753: The King Announces Abdication

This morning's emergency meeting at the Lu Layeka royal palace summoned all the important figures holding positions within the kingdom.

Clad in formal attire, the attendees engaged in lively discussions.

"Is it true that the king is truly unfit? Is he really going to hand over full power to Prince Louis?"

"It seems likely. What other urgent matter could there be?"

"But I heard a rumor last night. They say the king's illness is related to Eden. That Eden has been poisoning the king for a long time."

"Goodness, that must be a rumor, right?"

"..."

The king of Lu Layeka, in matters of state, held real power and authority over the military.

Bertie was a successful politician, with remarkable ideas, fostering friendly relations with neighboring countries. He was adept at learning and contemplating, dedicating at least 17 hours of work daily, every second devoted to the welfare of his people.

Many at the emergency internal meeting were already aware of the reason for the summons, while some were in the dark, having missed the dramatic events of the previous night.

The conference hall was vast, covering several hundred square meters, unusually spacious and extravagantly adorned. Such a venue was reserved for only the most solemn and significant gatherings in Lu Layeka.

Upon entering, everyone sensed the gravity of the occasion, understanding the importance of the meeting.

By eight o'clock, everyone had arrived early. The enormous crystal chandeliers emitted a brilliant glow, illuminating every corner of the conference hall.

King Bertie sat in the foremost position, flanked by two loyal commanders.

Government officials sat beside the long table, while Mr. and Mrs. Marsh had been invited to sit comfortably in the rear sofas to listen, as they were not members of the royal family.

Claire also sat beside the court, having received a similar invitation.

The two princes sat opposite each other, with their father at the head of the table, the recent events having brought them closer.
