Chapter 258: Louis and the Second Prince

As the second prince has guessed, the Yellow Kingdom’s King was indeed thinking about that. However, he had actually made this decision a long time ago.

After all, the Yellow Kingdom’s King had seen Prince Edward’s performance and knew that this young man was not suitable to be the crown prince anymore. With the entire Yellow Kingdom at the stake, the Yellow Kingdom’s King would not dare to appoint Prince Edward as the crown prince.

Besides that, the Yellow Kingdom’s King also knew that Prince Edward had no intention to study at all.

Even if he was given power, he would only be used by others.

The Yellow Kingdom’s King really didn’t know how his son could end up being like this. When Prince Edward was young, he was definitely far better than the current him.

At this moment, the Yellow Kingdom’s King only sighed deeply.

He didn’t expect that Prince Edward would toss himself to this state either.

But perhaps, this is for the best.

Because with this, Prince Edward would no longer have any unreasonable wishes and could calmly stay in his residence. As disappointed the Yellow Kingdom’s King was to Prince Edward, the latter was still his son and the Yellow Kingdom’s King didn’t want him to die.

Glancing to the side, the Yellow Kingdom’s King looked at the second prince and knew very well that in this covert battle, the second prince had won.

And he won without even doing anything.

"Let him stay and reflect," the Yellow Kingdom’s King gave this order and then left.

The second prince looked at his father’s back thoughtfully before turning his eyes away. He knew that it would be better for him not to bother the Yellow Kingdom’s King for the time being.

No matter what, Prince Edward is still the Yellow Kingdom’s King’s son.

He wouldn’t feel comfortable when he thought about what kind of future awaited Prince Edward.

"Doctor, you have to do something," Queen Ella said, her tone was pleading.

She might have just fought with Prince Edward not long ago, but when she heard that he would become a cripple from now on, Queen Ella felt immense distress.

She didn’t want to see her son like this.

"Your Highness, we have already done our best...."

The second prince saw his mother, who was usually very proud and arrogant, was now begging the doctor. He turned around and left.

From the very beginning, he knew very well that his mother was biased for his older brother.

But seeing this, the second prince only felt his heart slowly turning cold.

Perhaps, this is for the best.

In the next few days, the second prince heard various commotions coming from Prince Edward’s place. His proud brother couldn’t accept the reality so easily. How could he be wiling to accept that the previously healthy and strong young man had become a cripple?

He should also understand that he would not have any fate with the throne anymore.

And it didn’t take long for the Yellow Kingdom’s King to make a formal appointment and made the second prince as the crown prince.

The second prince accepted it.

It was not like he could do anything else anyway.

But it was also from that time that the second prince realized that the attitude of everyone around him were different. Even his friends in the Capital Academy also became more respectful to him.

Whatever he said, they would follow obediently. Even if he only mentioned some things once, it would delivered to him within hours or days if it was more complicated. His every action was being observed by many people and they would try their best to curry favor with him.

This taste of power truly could make one feel drunk.

It was only at this time the second prince truly realized why Prince Edward couldn’t let go of this position.

When he was removed from the position of the crown prince, what Prince Edward felt was nothing more than despair. The people who used to curry favor with him had moved away and didn’t want to speak with him anymore. The people who used to treat him respectfully now acted cold to him.

For the previously pampered Prince Edward, it was truly unbearable.

The feeling of being able to control many things was really amazing.

The second prince sighed.

Most people might not be able to control themselves if they were suddenly in power and had a lot of say in many things.

But...

The second prince thought about Aurora, who was clearly in high position before for a long time, but she remained low key. When the second prince saw Aurora, it was mostly when the latter was studying in the library.

She acted quietly and didn’t behave arrogantly.

But when it was necessary, she would stand her grounds and show her ability in front of others.

The second prince smiled faintly.

’I want to become a good ruler just like her.’

Aurora who was far away in the Red Kingdom didn’t know that she had become someone’s role model and this person was still the current crown prince of the Yellow Kingdom. If she knew, she would be speechless.

It was not like she couldn’t act high profile or arrogant, but it was unnecessary to act that way in front of these stupid students.

Besides, what kind of noble would act arrogant all the time?

She was not performing a show, got it!

Thankfully Aurora was not here or she would scold the second prince for elevating her image unnecessarily.

"Your Highness, Louis is here to see you," a student came to the second prince.

"Louis?" The second prince, who was reading the book, couldn’t remember who this was for a moment. He has a lot of classmates and there were many people come looking for the second prince after he was declared as the crown prince of the Yellow Kingdom. If he had to say, he simply couldn’t remember everyone.

"Prime Minister Lat’s son," the student explained.

"Oh." The second prince frowned.

From what he knew, Louis is his older brother’s most loyal follower and also helper. While Louis is a capable person, he has been staying beside Prince Edward for many years and was also close to the other party.

One had to admit that his background was quite good, though.

It was just that the second prince didn’t understand why Louis wanted to come and see him. Moreover, Louis should have already graduated for many years.

What is he doing in the Capital Academy?

The second prince didn’t understand.

"Do you not want to see him?" The student asked, feeling that the second prince didn’t like Louis very much.

"I’ll see him," the second prince replied calmly and put down his book.

It didn’t take long for the second prince to come to the waiting room and found Louis was standing there.

Louis froze when he saw the second prince and bowed down. "Your Highness."

"Sit down," the second prince said and made his own way to the chairs. "Senior Louis had already graduated for a long time. What brings you here to see me, Sir Louis?"

Louis saw the second prince being blunt and smiled helplessly. "Your Highness, I want to know if you need any help in anything. I might not be the best but I’m very good at managing..."

The second prince listened as Louis tried to elaborate his advantage.

His eyes when he looked at Louis looked a bit strange but then he understood that Louis wanted to change camp.

From Prince Edward to him.

Louis is indeed very good. He has been taught by Prime Minister Lat ever since he was young and his study in the Capital Academy showed that he was very good.

However...

"Senior Louis," the second prince said after Louis was done talking. "You’re indeed very good, but I don’t lack people right now."

Louis’ face fell slightly. "Your Highness, are you not going to give me any chance?"

Chance?

The second prince looked at Louis with a strange expression and then chuckled. "Haven’t His Majesty arranged for you to participate in the meetings?"

Louis was stunned.

He was indeed allowed to attend the meetings, but his status there was nothing more than his father’s assistant. It could be said that he didn’t have any power on his own to speak of.

"Besides, there are many capable people around me. Why should I pick you?" The second prince stood up and looked at Louis in front of him. "When there’s no lack of talent, one should prioritize their personality, am I right?"

After saying that, the second prince turned and left.

If he had to be honest, the second prince didn’t really want to talk with Louis in the slightest bit.

But he had to know why the other party tried to find him.

He didn’t expect the other party would come to him for this, though.
