Chapter 1691 Ivan's Certain Guess

The king also knew his son would agree, but he still had to say it.

He sighed again, somewhat sadly closing his eyes.

The image of a little girl flashed through the king's mind. After so manyyears, her innocent and lovely smile was still fresh in his memory."After all these years, there is still no trace of Annie. I don't know if sheis dead or alive.” This would probably become the king's biggest regretin this life.

At the mention of his sister, Rowan's heart also stung. This was thedeepest wound in his heart. Although it had long scarred over, even theslightest touch would make it bleed profusely again.

That extreme pain and grief quickly filled Rowan's eyes with tears. Hefelt very upset and guilty.

He said, "I'm very sorry that after searching for clues all this time, I'vefound nothing.”

"Perhaps this is fate..." The king heaved a heavy sigh, closing his eyesagain. "If she is still alive, if we are destined to meet, I believe you willbe able to replace each other. As for me... I probably won't make it to thatday. If you do meet, please tell her I'm sorry on my behalf, and then...hold her tight."

With tears in his eyes, Rowan nodded. "Alright." His expression wasfilled with grief, and his mood was extremely heavy.

The father and son were having an open-hearted talk in the bedroom.Rowan was also keeping track of the time, feeding the king some moreof the “sour plum soup’ in small doses over time, which would definitelyhelp the medicine absorb better.

Outside the palace entrance, the burly figure of Eiden stood with agrave expression, his brow slightly furrowed, and no one knew what hewas thinking. He gave off a very shrewd impression and had animposing aura about him.

In the entire royal family, he also held a high position of power.

Claire followed Ivan back to his residence. The architects who hadcome with them had already gone to the construction site, and theprogress on building the castle had not slowed down at all, witheveryone clear on the division of labor.

So it was just the two of them in the palace, and the servants had alsobeen sent away.

"The culprit will be Eiden," Ivan told her with certainty.

Claire was badly startled to hear this. "... His uncle?" She was shockedbeyond belief. "How could that be?"

But she had absolute faith in Mr. Marsh's judgment.

“You'll be staying there for now. Keep an eye on him and see if he actsabnormally,” Ivan said. "But you must also pay special attention tosafety. Protecting yourself is the priority. The situation is unstable now.”"Alright." Claire accepted the task.

She had originally wanted to return to the king's palace immediately,but on second thought, she couldn't help asking, “Is the king's conditionreally so critical today that he might not..."

Faced with this question, Ivan also fell silent.

Because no one could give a definite answer, given how long he hadbeen poisoned.

In this silence filled with grief, Claire dropped the subject and bid Ivanfarewell, heading to the king's palace where Rowan was. She had to gohelp him.

The Arab doctor was still there for now, so she as the interpreter wouldbe there too.

She just didn't know which side the royal physician was on, so Rowanhad sent him away. His medical skills were useless anyway, sooffending him didn't matter.

When Claire returned to the palace, she saw Eiden standing with hishands behind his back before a curved window.

She could only see his profile, but that alone revealed his unique depth.Claire pretended to tidy up the table while keeping an eye on him fromafar, wondering if he really was the culprit.

He had such a ruthless heart and guts to do this?

Primogeniture meant he wasn't next in line anyway.

Eiden seemed to sense her gaze, or perhaps it was his own wariness,because without warning he turned and his eyes collided directly withClaire's.
