Chapter 1753: The King Announces Abdication

This morning's emergency meeting at the Lu Layeka royal palace summoned all the important figures holding positions within the

kingdom.

Clad in formal attire, the attendees engaged in lively discussions.

"Is it true that the king is truly unfit? Is he really going to hand over full power to Prince Louis?"

"It seems likely. What other urgent matter could there be?"

"But | heard a rumor last night. They say the king's illness is related to Eden. That Eden has been poisoning the king for a long

time."

"Goodness, that must be a rumor, right?"

The king of Lu Layeka, in matters of state, held real power and authority over the military.

learning and contemplating, dedicating at least 17 hours of work daily, every second devoted to the welfare of his people.

Many at the emergency internal meeting were already aware of the reason for the summons, while swere in the dark, having

missed the tic events of the previous night.

The conference hall was vast, covering several hundred square meters, unusually spacious and extravagantly adorned. Such a

venue was reserved for only the most solemn and significant gatherings in Lu Layeka.

Upon entering, everyone sensed the gravity of the occasion, understanding the importance of the meeting.

By eight o'clock, everyone had arrived early. The enormous crystal chandeliers emitted a brilliant glow, illuminating every corner of

the conference hall.

King Bertie sat in the foremost position, flanked by two loyal commanders.

Government officials sat beside the long table, while Mr. and Mrs. Marsh had been invited to sit comfortably in the rear sofas to

listen, as they were not members of the royal family.

Claire also sat beside the court, having received a similar invitation.

The two princes sat opposite each other, with their father at the head of the table, the recent events having brought them closer.

Queen Catherine and Julie were also in attendance.

As everyone laid eyes on the king, swere aware of the truth, while others, a portion of them, were curious. The king's

demeanor did not at all resemble that of a seriously ill man; it was indeed quite perplexing.

The king calmly began to speak, recounting the events of the previous night in the simplest of terms to the gathering. He also

candidly addressed his own health and explicitly pointed to Eden as the assailant.

The revelation that Eden had been poisoning the king for a staggering five years left everyone in profound shock!

"Eden's crimes are unforgivable. As per the law, there will be no pardons. The death penalty will be carried out within a week," the

king's voice was as cold as ice, his words resolute, carrying a tone of a warning to others.

"General Lee," the king glanced sideways, then spoke again.

"Your command, Your Majesty," General Lee stood up, respectfully bowing.

"You are responsible for eradicating all of Eden's influence within the royal court," the king ordered, "No matter who they are, | will

not tolerate any corruption within the royal family. Cleanse it entirely."

"Yes, Your Majesty," General Lee's demeanor was resolute.

"Although | am in recovery, my decision to abdicate is final. Lu Layeka will be handed over to Prince Louis for governance. | have

chosen a propitious date for the succession ceremony, which will take place next Friday, the 28th," the king announced.

Rowan turned his gaze toward his father, his features deep and inscrutable, a slight pause in his heartbeat.

Subsequently, applause echoed through the meeting room.

All eyes turned to Rowan, with smiles suggesting their approval of him.

Earlier, the king had also introduced him, stating that he was an outstanding pharmacist, a prodigious physician who had always

cared for the people, having developed many potent medicines, truly a person of great compassion.

Despite the circumstances, the applause continued. He couldn't openly dispute his father, nor could he prompt him to reconsider.

However, deep down, Rowan truly did not want to becking.

He saw Queen Catherine and Julie clapping as well, expressing their affirmative gazes toward him.

Rowan rose from his seat, exuding an air of elegance and nobility. Despite the conflicting emotions within him, he graciously

nodded to everyone, conveying his gratitude for their support.
