Chapter 679: Other Conspiracy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Henry and John were really angered to death by their children. They grew up in comfortable environments and felt that their current living environment was very good. They did not have any sense of compet.i.tion.

This was also because the crown prince had been in power for a long time. The old king had already appointed a crown prince. No matter how unconvinced they were, they could not express it.

Children born under such circ.u.mstances naturally did not have such ambitions.

“Of all the children we have, none of them are of any use,” Henry said with a headache.

John felt the same way. They had racked their brains for the throne, but the children were so disappointing.

“Dad, you don’t have to make things difficult for the younger brothers. I’ll make them understand what they have to do next.” William walked over with a smile.

No matter how he looked at his eldest son, Henry was satisfied. He had the same desire to become a king as him and would give up everything for this ambition.

For so many years, William had won the hearts of the people and was known as the prince of the people.

This was also the reason why Henry did not call him over. William was his heir and could not leave Country F.

“Your brothers don’t have brains. I’m afraid no matter how you teach them, it’s useless.” Henry was angry at the mention of this.

William smiled. “They just need a direction, that’s all.”

At this moment, John leaned over. “William, you have to teach all your younger brothers. You can’t be biased.”

In other words, William could not only teach his younger brothers. He had to teach his sons too.

William knew that his father and uncle were allies, so he agreed readily. Anyway, no one knew how much he would teach.

Henry was a little unhappy. “Mary is also a smart child. With her around, William doesn’t have to worry.”

As if he didn’t understand the sarcasm, John smiled very proudly. “Of course Mary is the daughter I’m proudest of.”

“Why haven’t I seen Mary in the past two days?” William suddenly realized that something was wrong.

John laughed. “She’s keeping Grandfather company.”

Upon hearing this, Henry and his son’s expressions changed. The old king had died a long time ago. Now that they had found the subst.i.tute, they could temporarily hide the news of his death.

Therefore, this subst.i.tute had to listen to him so that nothing would happen.

After all, the subst.i.tute looked too similar to the old king. Even as his sons, they could not tell the difference sometimes.

If Mary took advantage of this time to hold the subst.i.tute in her hand, it would be no different from controlling the royal power.

After John was called away by others, Henry snorted coldly. “What are they going to do? Are they going to let that subst.i.tute announce that he will be the king?”

“Grandfather has pa.s.sed away. Although we’ve kept the news under wraps, the officers in the army know about it. It’s useless even if that subst.i.tute pa.s.ses the position to him in public,” William comforted him.

However, this also made them understand one thing. It was imperative to rope in Jiang An.

None of them could get the military’s support now, so they had to have a powerful ally.

William quickly turned around to find his younger brothers. He wanted to teach them in the shortest time possible.

Sophie watched them bustle about. “They must be up to something again,” she said. “It’s so tiring for them.”

Jiang An picked up the gla.s.s of water. “Let them do whatever they want. I want to see what bad ideas they can come up with.”

Zou Bai, who had been silent all this while, asked, “What’s William’s bottom line?”

Sophie’s face was full of disgust. “He has no bottom line. Since he was young, as long as he wanted to do something, he would do it by hook or by crook. He even gets away cleanly and doesn’t do it himself.”

Zou Bai called Zou Yi and Zou Er over to give orders. “You guys stay by An’an’s side for the next few days. All food and drinks must be checked to prevent any danger from happening.”

“Do you think they will attack me?” Jiang An understood what Zou Bai meant.

Zou Bai nodded. “They don’t have any other options now. Getting your support is the most important, but if you don’t make your stance clear, they will definitely use other methods.”

He had seen too many such things in the secret guards. He had never thought much of it in the past, but when he thought about how these methods would be used on Jiang An, he felt terrified.

Jiang An held his hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself. Besides, you’re by my side.”

Sophie added, “I have some people in the palace. I won’t let them hurt An’an.”

Jiang An was much calmer than them. She was still in the mood to look around. “William has appeared. Where’s Princess Mary?”

Sophie suddenly realized something. “Mary must be up to something else..”
