Chapter 134: Miranda’s Strange Behavior

Upon hearing Dean Bruce's words, Apollon Joy finally snapped out of his daze, though his expression still reflected disbelief.

He carefully examined the unconscious figure and even pulled aside the prince's clothing, revealing a scar on his shoulder. With a helpless sigh, Apollon said, "He really is my brother. This scar—he got it when we were children, protecting me."

"I... I just can't understand why my brother would do this to me. If he wanted to inherit the throne, he could have just told me directly!"

"Two years ago, I even asked him if he wanted to be king, and he told me he didn't. He said the position was too exhausting. I never expected..."

Seeing Apollon begin to drift into a sorrowful recollection, Dean Bruce interrupted him, speaking calmly, "People change. He might have been lying to you all along, or perhaps there were other reasons."

"Never trust anyone too easily—anyone."
