Chapter 352: LOU’S SUGGESTION FOR THE FALLEN CROWN PRINCE
"Where is Annie!?" Kellan roared at Bion, the royal warrior, who usually pushed his wheelchair. He had followed the Prince ever since he was chosen as the Crown Prince and was always so loyal to him. He didn’t talk much, but his knowledge over Kellan’s secrets was quite vast.
Currently, the crippled prince was enraged because he heard the news of the plan to crown a few days old baby as the next crown prince.
He vied for the position of the Crown Prince and had been trying to look for an opportunity to rise within the royal ranks again ever since Alan had been stripped from his status, because the pressure was too much and the King couldn’t ignore it again this time like he always did.
However, without the support from Cane, because he had gone missing, the only packs that supported his claim were the Celestial Moon pack and the Golden Light pack, the former pack of Lady Abigail, Kellan’s mother.
Though he had two packs behind him coupled with the favor of the public, somehow, his scandal from a decade ago resurfaced again, reminding the people of his wrong deeds, which swayed the public opinion. Meanwhile, those two packs were not on par in terms of value with the Red Claw pack.
The Celestial Moon pack and the Golden Light pack were combatant packs, as most of the members of the former pack defended the north from waves after waves of monster attacks, while most of the members of the latter one were the royal warriors within the palace.
Yet, with the Red Claw pack dominating the economy of the kingdom, their retaliation, no matter the level, would affect several sensitive aspects of people’s lives.
The day the Red Claw pack refused to trade magic stones had caused the royal family to lose a significant amount of money, which affected people as well, especially those merchants, who resided within the capital city.
Therefore, though there were many people who disagreed with the current crown prince, they limited it to small talk among themselves and didn’t raise any protest.
