"...You have just become a candidate to inherit the throne."
"What…?"
Prince Lance — Rhys was already aware of how cunning he could be, and in a way, how determined he could also be. Even when they first met, Prince Lance personally flew all the way from Enkland in just a hunch that Lina might be the one that was in the photo that was trending on the internet.
And when he was there, he made the Secretary Karen, who had been trying to control Rhys, look like a child as he did whatever he wanted and just took him away before she could do anything.
No — he probably wasn't even there for Lina, he was there for him. As the person who had been making tabloids in Amerka, the royal family of Enkland would have surely taken an interest in Rhys as well. Prince Lance was probably already aware that Lina was with Rhys even before that blurred photo was leaked to the masses, it only finally gave him a reason to approach Rhys without looking suspicious.
