Chapter 2185
The lady officer soon arrived with Monica.
Monica had been beaten, badly injured and in a mess, and was thrilled to see Francesca.
Francesca immediately asked someone to arrange for her to be washed and dressed and her wounds to be treated.
The female officers did as they were told.
At 7.50 pm, a lady officer brought Francesca and Monica to the banquet hall on time.
At a glance, the two saw the six princes opposite them, among whom Charlie was the most arrogant, with narrow eyes that stared grimly at the two men.
A few others also had provocative and warning gazes.
Only Berthold, not only did he not have those reactions, but instead he smiled and nodded to Francesca.
“Who is that man?”
Francesca recognised Berthold as the man who had stopped Charlie from killing her last time.
“Hw’s youngest prince, named Berthold.” Monica whispered, “He’s only 19 and a few years younger than His Highness William.”
“Did he have a hand in the bullying of William?” Francesca asked in a low voice.
“I heard he wasn’t involved.” Monica said, “But who can say about such things?”
Francesca didn’t say anything more, just looked at the wall clock, it was five minutes to eight and the old king hadn’t come yet, nor had Danrique.
What was the situation now?
As she was thinking, the lady official came, first bowing to the princes, then coming to Francesca’s side, bowing her head and saying, “Ms.Felch, please move to the inner hall.”
Francesca was a little puzzled, but said nothing and moved her chair to stand up.
The maid immediately helped her to sit in her wheelchair and then pushed her to the inner hall.
The old king was sitting alone, quietly sipping tea, when he heard the sound of voices, he raised his eyes to look at Francesca: “How is your injury? It’s not serious, is it?”
“I can’t die.” Francesca replied indifferently.
“William told me that you were very brave and righteous, I didn’t take it to heart at first, but now it seems to be true.” The old king looked at Francesca with a smile, “You are very brave at your young age, you have done a lot for William. You have done a lot of things for William.”
Francesca didn’t say anything, just looked at him quietly.
She just wanted to see what this old king was trying to say by beating around the bush.
“I don’t know if William has said anything to you that would cause you to misunderstand.”
The old king beat around the bush and hinted repeatedly, “In fact, I have always loved him, but it is just that the family is too big and there are too many people to manage. You may not quite understand now, but in the future, when you marry into the Lindberg family and take charge of a large family, you will understand my painstaking intentions.”
“What exactly does Your Majesty want to say?” Francesca could no longer listen, “Might as well say it straight!”
The old king’s hypocritical remarks were just for show in front of the media.
There was no need to put on a show in front of her.
“Haha, cool.” The old king laughed, “Mr.Lindberg loves you very much, as his fiancée, you should put more thought into him, don’t worry about William in the future.”
Francesca, tired of listening, asked coldly, “I really don’t understand, why do you treat William like that? He is also your grandson.”
“If he had lived his life peacefully, we could have gotten along well, but he was restless.” the old king said meaningfully, “William is not as simple as you think, you will understand later. ”
Francesca felt terrible, this old king, and actually falsely accused his own grandson.
“Your Majesty, Mr.Lindberg’s car has driven into the palace and will be coming in in another fifteen minutes.” At this moment, the attendant hurriedly came to report, “Lord Silas has already gone to wait at the entrance as you instructed.”
“Hmm.” The old king nodded and turned his eyes to look at Francesca, “Mr.Lindberg has a lot of business to attend to on a daily basis, yet he flew all the way to Danontand for you, how many business opportunities are delayed by this one day, do you know?”
