Chapter 1581: War for the Throne

"Even if the prince is fake, can you provide evidence?" Katharine asked calmly. "With your status, can you intervene?"

"..."

"So let's assume he is genuine for now and replace a way to verify the truth."

"But what if he is genuine?" her son asked.

"In that case, we eliminate him!" Katharine snorted coldly, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "While your father is still alive, we must settle the matter of the Crown Prince. In this intricate royal court, Louis is at a disadvantage. Are you afraid he won't succeed?"

"..." Taylor furrowed his brow.

Katharine continued, "Starting today, you must diligently attend to your father's health, show your concern, and demonstrate your filial piety. Don't spend your days horseback riding! When someone issick, what they care about most is empathy and warmth. And although Louis is the eldest son, you have been by your father's side all these years, and your bond is deeper!"

Taylor felt frustrated. Why did this Louis suddenly emerge and cause trouble?

He had planned to go abroad for horse racing, but now he was being confined by his mother.

Ten minutes later.

Katharine, dressed up carefully, arrived in front of the King's palace. She didn't bring her son, only Julie, and intended to replace out the situation.

As usual, she was about to step forward when she was politely stopped by the guards. "I'm sorry, Queen, but without the King's permission, no one can enter or leave in recent days."

"Open your eyes and see, I am the Queen!" Julie scolded them coldly as a reminder.

"Sorry, the King has stated that no one, including the Queen, is allowed to see him," the guard respectfully said. "Prince Taylor is also included."

Katharine didn't want to waste time arguing. She went straight to the point. "Where is Eden? And where is Arthur? Have them come out and see me."

As soon as she finished speaking, two tall figures walked out of the palace. As they approached, Katharine and Julie locked their gaze on them. It was Eden and Arthur.

Eden was Rowan's uncle, in his fifties, with a strong physique. His face rarely showed a smile, and it had some wrinkles. He had always served the royal family and was the most trusted person by the King. Arthur was a young man, around twenty-six years old, and had been Louis's childhood playmate. His father used to be the captain of the guard, which was now Julie's position, but unfortunately, he died honorably during a mission.

As they approached and saw Queen Katharine and Captain Julie being stopped outside the door, they slowed their pace.

The guards at the entrance saluted them.

"Hello, Queen," the two of them greeted the servants before turning to the Queen and Captain Julie.

As they approached, the guards respectfully bowed.

"Hello, Queen," the two of them greeted them in unison.

"Hello," Katharine greeted them with a smile, maintaining her elegant posture. "How is the King's health? And why did he suddenly order that no one can enter or leave the palace?"

Eden stopped in his tracks and answered sincerely, "It's because Prince Louis has returned. The long-lost father and son are reconnecting emotionally."

Oh, they didn't intend to keep it a secret? That surprised Queen Katharine.

Eden continued, "You are aware of the King's health condition. He cannot stand or sit for long periods, and his mental state is not as good as before. So, this emotional reconnection will take some time." Katharine felt uncomfortable hearing this. She was afraid that it wasn't an emotional reconnection but rather brainwashing by the King.

"Please inform the King that Prince Taylor is also very concerned about his health and has been clamoring to come and accompany him," Katharine maintained her smile throughout. "Alright, I will convey your message."

Unable to hold back her curiosity, Katharine asked, "By the way, I have a question."

"Please, Queen."

"Who can prove that the man brought back is truly Prince Louis? Has a paternity test been conducted?"

Eden smiled patiently and replied, "We are currently preparing for a royal physician to arrive and conduct a blood test in front of all members of the royal family to determine his identity."
