Chapter 98: The Prince’s Efforts
An official declaration was made that announced the sudden passing of King Raxus and Queen Zephyrine, which then caused quite a stir throughout the whole kingdom. Many rumors pertaining to the cause of the monarch’s death spread like wildfire, but not a single one was acknowledged by the royal courts and physician.
Elys paced back and forth in her bedroom. It had been a week already since they had returned without the kingdom’s detection, and Aleksander intended to reveal himself on the day the King and Queen were laid to rest.
’Is this really the right thing to do?’ she asked herself, ’Shouldn’t we at least try to gain support from other nobilities first?’
The princess took to biting her nails in agitation. A knock came at her door and she turned to Cordelia’s voice announcing herself.
"Princess, I have brought the documents you have asked for," the old woman said.
"Very well, come in," Elys said.
The door opened and Cordelia stepped inside with an armload of scrolls and several record books. All of it contained articles and information regarding nobilities Elys wanted to study in detail. From those that held high positions to the ones with a bit of a scandal in their names.
The princess believed that there must be at least a handful of them who could support the prince in his claim for the crown.
"Henry and I have heard during one of our errands regarding the Farvar family rising to the throne, your highness," Cordelia spoke as she set down the books and scrolls on Elys’ table.
