Chapter 1509 Where Did You Hear This From
As he watched Armand getting up to go upstairs, Steven seemed to remember something. “I found out that Tyrion's son also studied at Bellridge University, Mr. Faulker, and he seemed to have known Scarlette.”
Armand furrowed his brows, deep in thought. “I've heard this name before.”
“He's a member of the royal family of Kille, the child of the eldest son who was the old king's lover, with whom he had been entangled for decades,” Steven reminded him.
Armand had heard about the affairs of the royal family in Kille.
It was said that the old king was a philanderer even before he was the crown prince, and his father, the former king, had no intention of making him the heir to the throne.
However, he was left without an heir, and the royal constitution was strict at that time; as capable as she was, the princess could not inherit the throne. As the old king was the only son of his predecessor, the former king had no choice but to help him ascend to the throne.
Not long after the old king was named heir to the throne, he got married. It was said that his wife had come from a noble family from Epea. However, she passed away from tuberculosis just a few years into her reign as queen.
“I heard that the old king has been ill for a long time and didn't have many years left, yet he had not named a successor,” Steven said, relishing the gossip. “The queen's two children are not up to par, and his four other children with his mistress were vying for the throne. Also, I heard that the queen's children were spoiled by the mistress. The queen had been preventing the royal ministers from amending the constitution, as she did not want the mistress's children to be named as heirs to the throne.”
Armand glanced at him. “Where did you hear all this from?”
“I found out that Scarlette is acquainted with the eldest son of Tyrion, didn't I?” Steven answered. “Coincidentally, Mrs. Sutton was on a business trip to Kille, so I asked her a few questions. I didn't expect to uncover so much from our conversation.”
The struggle for the crown between the royal family members of Kille had nothing to do with Armand, so he did not pay much attention to it. However, Steven's words stirred something within him.
“Are they merely acquaintances, or are they close?” he asked Steven.
