"Father," He called after the king nodded his head at the people. His voice commanded respect. The people unconsciously turned to him. They were all curious about what the so-called crown prince was up to.


    "is it okay for a member of the royal council to disregard a member of the royal family, even if he was a child?  Richard asked. His question felt out of place but lord Tyler could guess what he was up to.


    Lord Tyler cursed Richard in his heart for being so petty. King George looked at Richard. He had no plans of stopping him from doing whatever he was up.


    "I seem to remember that such behavior is an insult to the entire royal family. It seems that the last time, a member of the royal council behave this war, there was an internal stiff between the kingdom and the Royal family almost lost their throne to that lord, " Richard said.


    Everyone in the room could not understand where he was going with this. The families that were present knew he was picking on lord Tyler but the man stood fearlessly. His sister was standing beside the king there is no way the unknown prince could do anything to him right?


    "Lord Tyler, the dinner today is to celebrate the crown prince ritual and as a person related to the royal family you have been invited, if you can not even give respect to me on this occasion, do you have any need to be seated on the table to dine with the royal family? " it was a simple question but lord Tyler was not sure how to answer


    There were other lords present and they saw the way he did not even acknowledge the prince. The other lords felt Richard''s words were reasonable. The reason why they were gathered was Richard.


    If a guess could not even acknowledge his host he indeed has no business being welcomed by the host. It was a simple dinner but if news spread that he was thrown out of the Palace it will not be so good.


    Lady Regina looked at Richard with hatred but the time and situation were not right. She knew that she could get burned if she tried to help her brother.


    She had not been present and was not sure what happened.


    "Why? His highness has just bec..." lord Tyler wanted to lie that he did not recognize Richard after all he has only seen him at the temple of the gods but he realized that his excuse would be stupid.


    No one will belive him if he was the only one present. A simple apology would have done the trick but that was impossible, the other lords stood up and bowed in greeting.


    "This is just a misunderstanding, I am sure my uncle did not mean to be disrespectful," Prince William said, seeing that his uncle was in a difficult position. He was irritated seeing the once servant boy acting so high and mighty.


    Richard raised his brows and looked at prince William, "Brother, I was not talking to you, moreover I never said lord Tyler was disrespectful, I only asked if it was reasonable for a host to welcome a guest who disregard them. It turns out that you know your uncle is the disrespectful type so you jump in to help him.


    He might be your uncle but he is unrelated to me. Since this gathering is for me, I have decided that I will not eat at the same table with him, " Richard finish speaking. His voice was very calm.


    Nobody knew how to react to this, lord Tyler was indeed unrelated to the crown prince.


    " How can you still use something like this to send me out, lord Zack is unrelated to you but you welcome him, why? Is it because you are his father''s dog," lord Tyler was very angry.


    When Lady Regina heard his choice of words she felt like hitting him hard on the head. Even if the mother of the crown prince is a commoner calling the crown prince someone''s dog was too far.


    It was not just an insult to prince Richard but the king. Lord Tyler seems to have forgotten himself when he spoke. When Richard heard this he simply raised his brows. One would have expected him to show his anger and not remain composed.


    "If even my mother''s brother is unrelated to me, then how are you here?" Richard asked in a calm voice.


    "What mother brother...?" lord Tyler was about to scold the prince for saying such an obvious lie but he pause. The prince has indeed called Lawrence uncle. How could this be, Lawrence had just one sister. Queen Agatha and she did not bear a son.


    He did not want to believe the prince but when he looked at Lawrence and Richard there was indeed some resemblance. Richard did not look like his father. This was really something difficult to believe.


    It was not just lord Tyler that found the prince''s words hard to believe. Even lady Regina was looking at the boy before her. The more she tried to deny it the more the possibility played in her heart.


    Now that she took her time to look at Richard she could tell that he looked a lot like her friend. "why did I not notice this all the while?" she questioned herself as she looked at Richard.


    "Could it be that the baby years ago survived.? How was it possible?


    In the first year of Queen Agatha''s marriage, Agatha has indeed given birth to a dead baby boy. Lady Regina broke out with cold sweat. If that boy was Richard, then has the king also found out about the role she played back then.


    "impossible, if he knew then I would be dead already," she immediately console herself. That year she was the one who indirectly made the second prince attack the midwife.


    She did not dare, after all, back then her family was not powerful enough, so she could only borrow the second prince''s hands. Luckily the second prince could no longer step foot in Bozao.


    If that baby years ago is Richard then all her efforts over the years were for nothing. The baby has somehow survived and come to claim his place. ''No no it can not be, '' she refused To believe it.


    She remembered that Ann had been a maid in the Palace long before she married the king. Although she did not want anyone snatching her son''s position, she would rather Richard be Ann''s son than Agatha.


    Why will heave be so generous to her, if Richard was her son, does this not mean that heave fought for her even when she was ignorant. Does this not make the heavens unfair.


    She had to work hard and scheme against others to be where she was. Her father never cared for her because she was a girl. To her father, a daughter was like a cup of water waiting to be knocked over.


    Yet, Agatha''s father loved and pamper Agatha as if she was a golden child.. Not only that lord Zorander was more wealthy and respected in the entire kingdom.
