"Agreed?"
Everyone froze at Ragan's unexpected response.
They had all assumed he would reject Roswell's request, even after the prime minister willingly gave up his position.
Instead, Ragan accepted it.
While many were still trying to process what had just happened, Duke Ashvale burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! I knew it! There was no way His Majesty would hand Prince Cedric such a harsh punishment!"
Duke Austin and Duke Valcrest simply watched him in silence. Their faces were filled with frustration and disappointment, especially Duke Austin's.
From the very beginning, he had hoped Cedric would receive a severe punishment—execution or, at the very least, exile.
Unfortunately, that wish now seemed nothing more than a pipe dream.
A moment later, he regained his composure. Deep down, this outcome wasn't all that surprising.
After all, Cedric was Ragan's son. More than anything, the battle for the throne was far from over.
