Or at least, with the accusation that this kid was cursed and killed late Archduke and Duchess.

"What happened to your palms?" Maximillien asked with scrutinizing gaze at Little Jean.
But Little Jean only blinked innocently and replied, "Ah, Jean wants to give Big brother roses! But the roses are thorny, so it hurt Jean’s hand...."
"I’m sorry, Big brother. Jean will try to give you roses tomorrow!" Little Jean said innocently.
"No, idiot! You’re hurt!" Maximillien said distressedly. He darted his eyes at the guards and gritted his teeth, "What are you two looking at? Go call the palace doctor!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
