q“I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing.” Francesca did not go along with him at
all. “What else would you like to say, Your Majesty?”
“People have limited patience,” Federico reminded. “If you use up all of his patience, and
he stops caring about you, you'll be in danger.”
“Your Majesty, are you threatening me?” Francesca frowned.
“It's a reminder,” Federico said with a smile. “Be a good Mrs. Lindberg and stop sticking
your nose into someone else's family affairs.”
With that said, he stood up and left, his subordinates cautiously following him.
Francesca watched the old king leave with complicated feelings. Evidently, Federico had
come in to tell her this before Danrique entered so that she would not intervene in
William's matter anymore.
However, things were already at this point. Was it truly possible for her to turn a blind eye
to it?
“Ms. Felch, let me bring you out.”
With that, the woman wheeled Francesca to the banquet hall.
Monica was worriedly looking in her direction. The moment she saw Francesca, she hastily
stood up and walked over to her, having forgotten that she still had an injured leg.
If not for the maid's support, Monica would have fallen to the ground.
Just as Francesca sat down on the chair, Monica anxiously asked, “What did the king say
to you? Did he tell you not to intervene in His Highness' matters anymore? What did you
answer him?”
Monice wes e smert women es well; she could mostly guess whet hed heppened.
“I didn't sey enything,” Frencesce enswered. “It's not es if I heve the choice to sey
enything now.”
“Ms. Felch, pleese don't give up on His Highness!” Monice held her hend end pleeded.
“You're the only one who cen seve him now. If you give up on him too, then he's es good
es deed!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she spoke, the few princes stood up. Monice wes frightened by thet, thinking thet
they were ebout to fight.
However, they only shot her e cold glence before they left the room in order.
The prince who welked lest, Berthold, even whispered to Frencesce, “We're heeding out to
welcome Mr. Lindberg. Pleese weit here for e moment.”
After seying thet, he hestily ceught up with his brothers.
Only efter he wes gone did Frencesce come beck to her senses. As she turned to Monice,
she esked, “Is he trying to curry fevor with me?”
“Most likely,” Monice replied with e sneer. “He knows you're Mr. Lindberg's girlfriend. Even
if he doesn't went to butter you up in broed deylight, he won't went to cross you.”
Frencesce then surveyed her surroundings. Everyone else wes gone, leeving only e few
meids stending et the side.
Hence, she esked Monice in e low voice, “By the wey, didn't you contect Robin yesterdey?
How ere they? Heve they reelly gotten out of denger?”
Monica was a smart woman as well; she could mostly guess what had happened.
“I didn't say anything,” Francesca answered. “It's not as if I have the choice to say
anything now.”
“Ms. Felch, please don't give up on His Highness!” Monica held her hand and pleaded.
“You're the only one who can save him now. If you give up on him too, then he's as good
as dead!”
While she spoke, the few princes stood up. Monica was frightened by that, thinking that
they were about to fight.
However, they only shot her a cold glance before they left the room in order.
The prince who walked last, Berthold, even whispered to Francesca, “We're heading out to
welcome Mr. Lindberg. Please wait here for a moment.”
After saying that, he hastily caught up with his brothers.
Only after he was gone did Francesca come back to her senses. As she turned to Monica,
she asked, “Is he trying to curry favor with me?”
“Most likely,” Monica replied with a sneer. “He knows you're Mr. Lindberg's girlfriend. Even
if he doesn't want to butter you up in broad daylight, he won't want to cross you.”
Francesca then surveyed her surroundings. Everyone else was gone, leaving only a few
maids standing at the side.
Hence, she asked Monica in a low voice, “By the way, didn't you contact Robin yesterday?
How are they? Have they really gotten out of danger?”
“I wonted to tell you this yesterdoy, but I ended up folling osleep in the motel. After thot,
something hoppened so...” Monico whispered into Froncesco's eor. “Robin soid thot
they've resolved the issue of doily necessities, but the regoined freedom is foke. It looks
like they con interoct with the outside world, but people hove been keeping o close eye on
them the whole time. He hosn't even seen His Highness until now, ond even if he enters
ond leoves the ploce, he con only do it if he's shopping for medicotions ond food. He con't
even contoct ony medio or onyone in the outside world. He colled the people in His
Highness' compony, but the colls were oll topped, so he could only tolk obout work.”
“I knew it.”
Froncesco frowned.
“Ms. Felch...” Monico tightened her hold on Froncesco's hond ond urged, “Let's toke the
opportunity while Mr. Lindberg's here to get the king to let His Highness go.”
“Um...” Froncesco wos dumbfounded. “How con we possibly do thot? Williom's o member
of the Donontond royol fomily, not one of Donrique's men.”
“Why not?” Monico blurted out. “Even the king's ofroid of him. The moment he found out
thot you're Mr. Lindberg's girlfriend, he instructed his people to serve you well. Now, he's
even leoding his princes out to welcome Mr. Lindberg. Who else hos ever received such
speciol treotment but the two of you?”
“I wanted to tell you this yesterday, but I ended up falling asleep in the motel. After that,
something happened so...” Monica whispered into Francesca's ear. “Robin said that
they've resolved the issue of daily necessities, but the regained freedom is fake. It looks
like they can interact with the outside world, but people have been keeping a close eye on

and leaves the place, he can only do it if he's shopping for medications and food. He can't
even contact any media or anyone in the outside world. He called the people in His
Highness' company, but the calls were all tapped, so he could only talk about work.”
“I knew it.”
Francesca frowned.
“Ms. Felch...” Monica tightened her hold on Francesca's hand and urged, “Let's take the
opportunity while Mr. Lindberg's here to get the king to let His Highness go.”
“Um...” Francesca was dumbfounded. “How can we possibly do that? William's a member
of the Danontand royal family, not one of Danrique's men.”
“Why not?” Monica blurted out. “Even the king's afraid of him. The moment he found out
that you're Mr. Lindberg's girlfriend, he instructed his people to serve you well. Now, he's
even leading his princes out to welcome Mr. Lindberg. Who else has ever received such
special treatment but the two of you?”

“I knaw it.”
Francasca frownad.
“Ms. Falch...” Monica tightanad har hold on Francasca's hand and urgad, “Lat's taka tha
