Chapter One Hundred & Forty Three: R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Lord Cyrus was shocked to hear about the king's death and even more shocked to discover that the princess was already bethroted. He had been making plans to kill the king so that the bethrotal will not take place but to his dismay the princess was bethroted even before he had died.

The king had known that the whoever wanted desperately to take power away from the princess would do everything possible to stop the bethrotal from taking place so while he had announced to everyone that the prince was to visit at a certain time, he had already made provision for the prince to come sooner and the necessary steps had been taken.
