Chapter 319: Royal Banquet
In the afternoon, Natalie arrived at the venue, where the welcome banquet for all the guests was arranged. The entire royal family was present so that all the guests could meet them.
With the Queen, Princess Charlotte was stuck to her side the entire time, showing off to the world that she was the next Queen. Howard, the Queen’s brother and Charlotte’s grandfather, was there with his son, Garwin, who was still in a wheelchair due to the accident that had occurred.
Natalie observed them on the large screens arranged in different parts of the venue. Hmm, so these are all the royals. But that other family the Queen is talking to... She observed an older man who looked like Howard and had two young men by his side. From their faces, one could tell they were a family as well.
"John, any idea who they are?" Natalie asked.
John nodded and said, "That man is the Queen’s half-brother, Lenard Everthors—a son born to the Queen’s father’s mistress. The woman next to him is his wife, and those two are his sons."
"Hmm, so even the half-brother didn’t have a daughter," Natalie commented.
"If he had a daughter, she must have been killed by Howard long ago," Ryan added. "Since Lenard was born to a mistress, he is not included as a royal family member. It’s the Queen who insists on keeping them as part of the family."
"No wonder Howard’s face looks like shit when the Queen talks to her half-brother," Natalie concluded.
"Lenard keeps himself and his sons away from royal family matters and only shows his presence whenever the Queen invites him to such events," Ryan explained.
