A Rise to the Throne Chapter 67: Secret Concubine.
Upon all that had happened during just a week in the country, the King still laid in a peaceful slumber on his hospital bed, receiving multiple treatments to sustain his life on a daily basis.

Adonis took a seat amongst the elders, “well, we can start now.” He announced with an authoritative voice that even he did not know that he possessed.“Yes, your highness, the prince has committed a very grave offence, one that is not acceptable even in any society, not only did he try to take the life of a person but this person is actually the next in line to the throne of the country, I say that we let him face the law on his own without any help at all and he will serve whatever sentence that he is served.” Sir Hitchhacker said and Lord Bassey immediately got onto his feet.“That is just so extreme, you know, one would think you all have it in for the second prince or something, this is all just so unnecessary and far-fetched, not even the king would ever allow that gibberish that you just said, he is still the prince and so the fact that he made this little mistake does not make him less of one. He is the prince of our country, our kingdom and so he would still be regarded and tr

However, Adonis, adamant in his intention to check on his father, chose to overlook the unspoken hostility."Your majesty," Adonis addressed her with a composed air of authority, "I need to see how the king is faring."A tense tightening of Sophie's lips was the immediate response, as she subtly obstructed his path. Her tone was curt, as she retorted, "Adonis,
