"So, perhaps you don't need to go through with that thing called Marriage annulment for Lord Ethan and Lady Helena," Duke Henry continued.

Prince Max froze as if he had been turned to stone. It took him a few minutes to respond to Duke William's words. "A prince is not allowed to marry a widow. So, I will proceed with the marriage annulment."

Duke William nodded. "Very well, in that case, the documents should be ready before the execution takes place. Because we will not change the execution date."

Prince Maximilian remained silent. Although Ethan was a love rival and a threat to him, hearing that the man would be executed without a proper trial made him feel uneasy. "Why is there no trial for him?"

"He is very dangerous. We are concerned about the safety of our guards and the people of Akiya. We cannot take the risk."
