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.


    She, Regina has set her eyes on marrying the crown prince. She had even gone to the training field time and time again to get the prince action but Agatha meet the prince casually on the street.


    Why? How can one be so lucky. "it can not be," Lady Regina was still trying to console herself when she heard Richard''s voice.


    "If one does not know how to talk one should remain quiet. If I as the crown prince is a dog, what does that make you?" when Richard asked this question he was calm. He looked straight into the eyes of lord Tyler.


    Lord Tyler did not know how to answer. It was already a good thing that the prince did not chase him out after he called him a dog. But Tyler had pride and was unwilling to apologize.


    "Why are you been so petty, you deliberately lead my uncle on in other to frame him," princess Ema spoke up. She was feeling irritated to see that a guard that once bowed his head to her was now standing tall.


    "lead your uncle on, is this joke, your uncle is already this old and he can still be easily missed guided. If this kind of person is called a lord of Bozoa royal council is the kingdom not pitiful," Richard said out loud.


    His voice was low as though he was thinking within himself but everyone could hear him clearly.


    " Moreover, should he not be old enough to know what is right and wrong? If he had given me the respect I deserve would we be standing here? How did a person with no self-awareness or respect for the tradition of our people be a lord of the royal council?" Richard asked.


    When everyone heard Richard''s words they were surprised. No, they could not follow Richard''s way of thinking. It has started with sending him away from the dinner, now Richard wanted to strip him of his title.


    What will become of house Tyler if the head was no longer a lord. Lady Regina was angry. She wanted to step forward and defend her brother but she was scared that the news of her being stripe off her title as the Queen will be exposed, so she could only swallow her bitterness.


    What was the need to be in so much hurry? Once she is able to deal with Richard her son will become the king and he can always name her brother again but she did not expect to hear the words that came out of the king''s mouth.


    "you are right son, a person like this should never be allowed to step a foot in the Palace, talk less of being a lord. He has only inherited this title from his father. It is a pity lord Tyler will be ashamed. Guard takes him away and never let him in again," King George said. How could he not understand his son''s intentions?


    Lord Tyler was Lady Regina''s baking, since he had stripped her of her title she would need her brother''s help. Her power in the palace will decrease after his marriage to Ann.


    "From now onwards, you will no longer be a lord of the royal council of Bozoa. This is the mercy I will show you," king George said.


    "Father, he called me a dog, should he not lose his tongue for that?" Richard said. He knew of the many laws that protect the royal family. One could lose their head or tongue for insulting a member of the royal family.


    "This prince is too cunning," everyone present thought. He wanted patiently and did not demand for Lord Tyler''s tongue since the latter insulted him.


    If he had asked earlier then lord Tyler would have used his title as a lord to seek mercy. As a lord, his voice and opinion would be needed during the royal council meeting so he could not lose his tongue.


    So Richard made the king strip him of his title first, before remaining everyone the punishment for insulting a member of the royal family.


    "Smart," even lady Regina was impressed by him.


    "Why not, you become the crown prince today and someone calls you a dog, if you keep quiet people will think that the Royal family has become weak and anyone can bully us," King George agreed.


    This father and son. The way the two of them spoke one could easily misinterpret and feel that they have planned such a show. But it was impossible to plan about something like this ahead of time.


    First, the prince could not have predicted that lord Tyler would act out of place. Even the help of princess Ema and prince Williams help did nothing but dig the pit deeper for him.


    Lord Zorander who stood at the back quietly was proud of Richard. Although he had only guided the boy for a few days, Richard seems to be very calculative.


    With the event today, other lords will think twice before making a move to cause problems for Richard in the future.


    Lady Tyler who accompanied her husband to the Palace froze. She did not expect things to turn out like this.


    Her husband had been insulting the so-called crown prince since, after the ritual in the morning, she did not say anything because she believed that her husband had the backing of Queen Regina.


    Lady Tyler immediately turn to Lady Regina as two guards stepped forward to take lord Tyler away.


    "your highness, he is your brother. Please beg his majesty to temper justice with mercy," as lady Tyler spoke she went over to the Queen and took her hand.


    Lady Regina felt like killing this woman all the effort she used to keep herself invisible gas been wasted by the stupid woman.


    Everyone suddenly remembered that lord Tyler was indeed the Queen''s brother. Why was she so quiet and did not dare to speak up for her brother.


    "your highness please, I am sure his majesty will listen to you," lord Tyler continues to plead when she saw that her husband was already been dragged away by the guards.


    "What is there for me to say, if his majesty can take back his words so easy, can he still hold his head high," Lady Regina said.


    She knew the king will never listen to her, so she could only use this statement to cover up for herself.. She was determined to keep her fall a secret from does who did not live in the Palace.
