Chapter 277
Raymond’s expression was serious.
“I will handle this perfectly, ensuring that Your Highness will never be implicated.”
“That’s impossible.”
“It is possible.”
“Stop it. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”
Raymond looked like he wanted to argue further but eventually closed his mouth.
Carynne knew that if Raymond said he would do it, he truly could. After all, hadn’t she herself just been tempted by the thought that the fastest solution would be to chop off Gueuze’s head with an axe? Murder was the easiest path.
No matter how powerful the crown prince was, he was still human. Raymond could, without question, kill him if he set his mind to it.
“Yes, give it up, Sir Raymond. You have to think about what comes after.”
In the end, a solution like that would lead only to death.
Such a course of action ignored the aftermath. It was akin to how Carynne had been dragged to the execution platform in the past. She understood that Raymond sometimes displayed an overly single-minded determination, likely because he had lived for so long.
