1227 The Secret of the Royals

Under Mary, Duke Eldar, and Duke Zilin's gaze, King James VIII walked into the meeting hall with the help of a servant.

Despite his constant pale looking face, King James VIII was looking slightly flushed. Although he required the servant's help to walk, he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Father."

"Your Majesty."

All three of them stood up.

The elderly duke stood straight up and gave his chair to his friend. After seeing his friend on the chair, he asked: "Is it because of the things just now?"

The elderly duke then looked at the servant with less pleasant eyes.

He knew his friend's condition and because of that, he repeatedly forbade the servants in the palace from telling James what happened in Riverdale; even if they told, they were only allowed to deliver the good news.

"Don't blame him. I forced him tom" King James VIII said slowly.

He then looked at Mary with merciful eyes.
