Chapter 1668: The King Finds Out

"It seems like a joyful occasion." Catherine suddenly felt quite expectant, her lips subtly curving up, "I hope their relationship develops quickly. It would be even better if they could marry soon."Julie also thought this was a great match, showing a rare gentle smile on her usually serious face.

Inside the lavishly decorated King’s palace.

The King had just woken up, and his weary and ill body finally felt a bit more comfortable. He planned to take a walk in the yard and soak up some sun.

Today’s sunshine was exceptionally bright, stirring an impulse to go out for a walk.

Eden and Arthur intended to follow, but the King stopped to say to them, "No need to follow me. I’ll walk by myself, just around here."

After speaking, the King resumed his steps.

Eden and Arthur could only stop, watching with concern at the tall, thin figure.

Just as the King walked out of the palace door, he heard people talking not far away—

"Today, the sun must have risen from the west. Prince Taylor has been outside Miss Morgan’s study alone, studying for an hour."

"Haha, I say it’s the power of love. The woman who can change Prince Taylor must be his perfect match."

"Do you think Miss Morgan might be the future queen?"

"Well, that depends on whether Miss Morgan fancies Prince Taylor. Isn’t he driven outside her study room? Likely, she doesn’t like him much."

"I say, Miss Morgan sure is bold, not caring about the Prince’s dignity."

Upon hearing this, the King paused in his steps, glaring at them with anger, his brows instinctively furrowing.

Raising their eyes, the two servants happened to spot the King. They trembled in fright, their hearts almost leaping out, and hurriedly knelt down to salute—

"Greetings, King!!"

Seeing them almost lose their souls, the King relaxed his brows, calmly inquiring, "What were you talking about? What’s going on with Prince Taylor?"

Given the King’s tone, coupled with Prince Taylor’s earnest learning behavior, the servants believed that if they conveyed this good news to the King, he would be very pleased.

Perhaps his health might even improve quickly!

Thus, one of the maids, with a joyful smile, raised her eyes and answered, "Your Majesty, Prince Taylor has been outside Miss Morgan’s study room, studying earnestly for an hour."

To their surprise, the King was not happy but rather turned gloomy!

He hadn’t heard wrong! Inept Taylor was still clinging to Jocelyn Morgan!

Originally planning to bask in the sun, he turned and entered the palace, heading for the stairs!

Eden and Arthur quickly glanced at each other, and Eden promptly handed him a cane, then followed at the King’s heels, bewildered.

They remained on high alert to protect the King, preventing him from falling.

Being ill, the King was weak, and climbing stairs was physically demanding.

Although there was an elevator in the palace, he was too urgent and couldn’t wait to reach the elevator.

Upstairs, inside the closed study door.

Jocelyn Morgan sat upright at the desk, a dictionary of Raban language opened, with a half-filled notebook beside it, a pen gripped in her right hand.

Her world was quiet, she was studying earnestly, completely forgetting about the persistent nuisance outside the door.

Outside the tightly closed study door—

Prince Taylor sat contentedly on a chair with his legs crossed, his left hand pressing an open book, his right hand holding a pen, his head tilted as he scribbled notes on a notebook.

He was diligently taking notes, notably absorbed in studying.

With a cold, grim look, the King ascended the stairs step by step, heading towards the study with his cane...
