"Prince Harley" 

Prince Harley wasn't close to Isabella, but he's still a royal family member one way or another.

He would know some insider news!

Even if Prince Harley didn't know any insider news, if there's a big event involving the queen, the princes and princesses should be notified too.

Thinking like this, Theo immediately got up from the bed and prepared to sneak out of the prime minister's mansion.

[Hurry, lets go. We have met Prince Harley a few times before. We should speed up the friendship process, ]

Theo spoke to Gary as he ran out of the mansion without bringing any servants.

He only stole a horse to go to the castle.

The prime minister didn't go to the castle to work for the past few days because he was suspended from work, but he's still not willing to stay at the mansion with his son.

That's why Theo could sneak out easily and went to the castle to find Prince Harley and became his friend.

While Theo was busy befriending Prince Harley, one of the princes with the thickest royal bloodline and a prince with a good ruler qualification–

The people at the castle were busy preparing for the talent festival.

In just a few days, the news about the talent festival spread throughout the kingdom, and now, everyone already knew that the queen finally held this festival again!

The commoners were ecstatic and many young people of all ages rushed to the capital to attend the talent festival.

After all, it's a chance to be promoted and receive a good wage from the queen!

In these three days, Theo himself managed to befriend Prince Harley, who was two years younger than him, without being OOC.

Today, the weather was good, clear without too many clouds.

The sunny golden-haired and sapphire-eyed prince swayed his legs as he sat inside the pavilion near the royal lake to cool down some heat.

His face was still immature, with some baby fats here and there, but he tried to look as serious as possible while speaking to Kian, his new friend.

"Say, Kian. Will I have a chance to join the kingdom's various talents in this talent festival?"

As a prince, he's also involved in this talent festival. His turn would be when the queen held the charity banquet after the talent festival.

If the queen found that he's talented, would she directly give him something to do to contribute to the kingdom?

Harley twisted his toes nervously as he seeked Kian's opinion.

"You're a genius, Kian. You will surely be one of the chosen talents."

Theo, the black-bellied young master with top-notch acting skill, replied to Harley with a face devoid of any emotions.

"Your highness jest. Your highness is also talented. You will be chosen, and then you can work for the kingdom too."

Inside, Theo snickered to Gary while tugging the corner of his lips.

[Tsk. This boy has a good eye. Of course, this young master is talented. If this young master isn't talented, who else?]

Gary rolled his eyes at the young master's narcissistic tendency and nudged the young man in his mind.

[Focus, focus, young master! You have to cultivate feelings with Prince Harley!]

Theo suddenly shuddered.

That sounded a bit wrong...but nevermind.

The young man activated his oscar-level performance and seriously patted Prince Harley's shoulder, trying to coax him.

"You should be more confident, your highness."

Kian's voice was as cold and as hoarse as usual, with no hint of emotion.

He sounded like a robot, and that would surely creep a lot of people...but not Harley.

Prince Harley looked at the boy two years older than him with a complicated gaze.

This older brother looks like a robot with no emotion, but he knew that the boy did want to coax him.

Thinking about Kian's warm heart but cold appearance, Prince Harley let out a sigh.

"Hum. I hope I can be chosen..." Harley had a hopeful look on his face as he let out another depressed sigh.

"You see...a lot of us princes and princesses want to do something for the kingdom...but the current queen never gives us a chance."

When Harley said that, Theo believed him.

But if other princes and princesses were the ones saying that, Theo would sneer at them.

Who would believe that you guys only want to dedicate yourself to the kingdom?

Aren't you planning to pave a way so that you can inherit the talent scout ability and become the new ruler?

After all, the people at the castle believed that the ones who could inherit the talent scout ability were only those with thick royal bloodline or those with a good ruler qualification.

But Prince Harley was really not like that. His character setting in the novel was someone ambitious but also kind.

He really wanted to be useful for the kingdom and became a good king.

Even if he didn't become a king, becoming a minister was also okay, as long as he could use his talent to contribute to the kingdom.

But he's one of the characters who died at the age of ten, when Lizeth had been a queen for two years.

Prince Harley died...because he tried to usurp the throne!

Yes, at the age of ten, Prince Harley's ambition couldn't hold him back anymore.

In his eyes, Lizeth's two-year reign almost didn't change anything other than improving the life of the people at the slums.

The cabinet was still full of corrupt people, there were still many hidden problems both inside and outside the kingdom…

Duke Fez and the other dukes' help for two years couldn't really beat the prime minister faction or threat from other kingdoms.

In short, Lizeth was still too weak!
