CHAPTER 80

  Peter obeyed while the king sat beside him.

  “My dear, I get that you feel wronged and inferior to Phoenix. You think he should be crown prince coz he’s got the talents and everything needed. But the law has stated and I have already appointed you as crown prince since birth. I just didn’t announce it, my boy.”

  “Dad, I’m not worried about the throne…”

  “You feel inferior to Phoenix. Peter, your mom is stronger than I am to date but I don’t feel inferior to her. Not because I’m the king. But I won’t tell you why. Peter, you are a smart kid. You’re all grown up. I know that soon, you’ll find your mate and bring her here. Then I can have many grandkids running about.”

  “Er… Dad, don’t move forward that fast. Please slow down.”

  “Look, I’m not swift enough. If I am, I should already be thinking of my great-grandchildren.” the king said leisurely.
