A flash of smugness went through Catherine's eyes, while Jolie remained expressionless. She was worried sick. The king had already ordered that the throne be passed on to Prince Louis. If they didn't think of something, this situation would be impossible to reverse.
Not only was Jolie ambitious, but she was also impatient.
"Mother! Mother!!"
The two women turned at the sound of the voice. Prince Taylor came in fuming. He directly tattled, "Mother! This is the fifth time I've been rejected today! It was bad enough Eden wouldn't let me in, but he didn't even agree to announce me! He must be up to something sinister!"
Catherine's brows furrowed as she heavily set down her teacup. "He wouldn't even announce you? What is he playing at? Does he only recognize the heir now and not the second prince?"
And this heir hadn't even taken the throne yet but was already being so arrogant?
If he did take the throne, would there still be a place for her and her son in the royal family?
"I think Eden is up to no good!" Taylor accused. "He doesn't want Father to see me! But I'm his son too! Why does Louis get to keep watch?"
"Simply outrageous!" Catherine stood up angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down first," Jolie advised in a low voice. "Eden is just a dog. It was the king himself who ordered that he see no one."
"That was just the king's mood at the time! But what about now?" Catherine retorted. "If Eden had gone to announce it, who can guarantee the king would have refused?"
Taylor was also very upset.
He had no interest in the throne, but his concern for his father's health was genuine. When he heard the king had coughed up blood that day and his life was now on a countdown... Taylor had also become restless.
These past few days, Taylor had been worried sick.
"Let's go. Forget him not announcing it. I'll take you to force your way in!" Catherine could no longer contain her anger. As she spoke, she strode towards the door.
Before Jolie could stop her, a servant came in. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Captain."
