Chapter 566
Prince Haddor’s sneering expression suddenly froze.
At the same time, all the guests present fell silent out of fear. They all stared at the young man in trepidation.
‘ Malakai, why are you here?” Prince Haddor stood up from his chair and took two steps forward. His eyes were fixed squarely on the young man.
The young man smiled faintly. “I heard that Uncle was holding a banquet here, so I came to join in the fun.”
As he spoke, he looked at everyone present. Only then did everyone seem to come back to their senses. They stood up one after another and bowed. ‘Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Malakai Gibbethon took one glance at these people indifferently. These people were all fence sitters whose loyalty changed according to circumstances. He couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them, nor would he take them seriously.
Haddor was also stupid. It was really stupid of him to count on these people to consolidate his power.
Although Haddor seemed to be the stronger side now, if they really fought, Haddor might not really have the upper hand.
‘ Uncle, you still haven’t told me why you are summoning the private army?’ Malakai asked again.
Before Haddor could speak, someone tried to curry favor with Prince Haddor and spoke up, ’Your Majesty, it’s because of these people. They’re up to no good. Not only did they disrespect the Prince, but they even killed Commander Nikko. The Prince had no choice but to mobilize his private army in self-defense.”
Malakai glanced at the person who spoke and said, “Who are you? Who allowed you to speak?”
That man froze.
He was only a leader of an underground faction. His status was not very high. In order to rise further, he decided to cozy up to Prince Haddor.
However, he did not expect the king to say something like this. Didn’t the outside world say that the King was very fearful of His Highness the Prince?
Why was the King so unreasonable?
Before that person could figure it out, he saw the few people beside the King walking toward Isabella and Draxton.
What was worse, he knew these few people.
Who didn’t know Fernando, the patriarch of the Barclays family?
Who didn’t know Noboru Sakurai from Yuvilia’s number one family?
Who didn’t know Arvid, the heir of the Rutherford family, and who didn’t know the patriarch of the Macy family?
That leader thought in bewilderment, “How did the King get involved with these people?”
These people had nothing to do with each other at all.
Most importantly, these prominent figures were actually walking toward Isabella and Draxton.
Prince Haddor’s face clouded over slightly at the sight.
Norah Lyons, who was sitting at the side, also frowned slightly. A peculiar look that no one had noticed before flashed across her eyes.
She knew very well why these people were here.
It was because of those three girls who had been rescued by Draxton Lockwood!
Norah closed her eyes silently and then gave Number One, who was beside her, an eye signal.
Number One nodded imperceptibly. He understood what Norah meant.
At this moment, Fernando and the others had already walked to Isabella’s side. Fernando smiled and said, Miraculous Doctor, Mr. Lockwood, long time no see!”
He stretched out his arms and wanted to give Isabella a hug.
Draxton swiftly took a step forward and shielded Isabella with his body. Fernando ended up hugging Draxton tightly.
Fernando was stunned at first. Then, he quickly let go as if he had encountered a plague. He even took a step back in disdain and brushed his hands off repeatedly.
He actually hugged Draxton Lockwood!
