Everyone jumped out to mock her. Mary blushed when she heard that. She had been chased out in front of everyone. Fortunately, the reporters were standing far away and could not hear what they said. Otherwise, she would really be embarra.s.sed both domestically and overseas.
John knew that he was in the wrong and wanted to muddle through this matter. He said, “Anyway, Mary didn’t really accompany him to raise the flag. We’ll just be more careful in the future.”
No one could accept his words. Henry sneered. “You can forgive me if I don’t really do it? Then if I let William do the same today, will you forgive me magnanimously?”
Annie’s expression was also very ugly. “You clearly thought that it was impossible for us to fall out on such an occasion, so you wanted to show off your unique ident.i.ty in advance. If we hadn’t stopped you quickly, you would have been the new crown prince.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” John was anxious. “I was just afraid that something would go wrong with the subst.i.tute, so I asked Mary to accompany him.”
That sounded far-fetched. The king would be accompanied by a ceremonial officer, in case he couldn’t remember the complicated etiquette. How could Mary know more than the ceremonial officer?
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes burning with the desire to burn each other to death.
There was only one throne, and it was right in front of them. They could not care less about their siblinghood.
Jiang An had been standing in the corner. Anyway, everyone in the palace knew that her ident.i.ty was not ordinary, so no one dared to stop her.
With Sophie in front of her, no one noticed her for a while.
Jiang An knew that the three of them were about to fall out with each other. She leaned over to Sophie’s ear and whispered, “Allen and Jason have both received the letter. Hurry up and ask me.”
Sophie didn’t understand, but she obeyed and said loudly, “An’an, I heard you wrote to the palace.”
“Who did you hear that from?” Jiang An denied it directly. “I’ve never written to anyone. Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you?”
Allen and Jason, who were following behind, were dumbfounded. They could not believe what Jiang An said. Then who wrote the letter they received?
Both Henry and John knew about Jiang An’s letter. After reading it, they felt that she must be biased towards the other. That was why John had the audacity to agree to Mary’s request.
Now that they had been rejected by her, the two of them silently thought about this matter in their hearts. Then, they felt that there must be a conspiracy.
In their opinion, there was no need for Jiang An to lie. If she really didn’t want to cooperate, she could just say it. No one would attack her.
Then the source of this letter was suspicious. Someone must be plotting against him.
John and Henry looked at each other. Both of them wanted to use their sons to rope in Jiang An. It was very likely that the other party would use this method to attack them.
Annie didn’t know what had happened, but when she saw that her two brothers were about to murder, she understood that it had something to do with the letters.
She was happy to see her two brothers fight. That way, she would have the upper hand.
Henry and John were in a hurry to criticize each other. Their words became more and more impolite. The old king’s subst.i.tute stood in the corner, at a loss. He did not know what to do next.
For a moment, the scene was unbelievably chaotic. After the Marshal heard about the entire process, he sighed. The next generation of the royal family was really disappointing.
They only knew how to fight for the throne and never thought that today would be the National Day Ceremony. The people were looking forward to it the most.
If something really happened, it would cause domestic and foreign speculation that something bad had happened. If the old king’s death was discovered at this time, those countries and forces that were eyeing him covetously would definitely take action.
At that time, the entire country would fall into turmoil, and the lives of the people would become very bad. They did not take this to heart.
The Marshal’s loyalty to the country could not allow such a thing to happen. The peace of Country F could not be destroyed in their hands.
He, who was still watching, instantly made a decision in his heart.
Henry and John’s alliance was completely destroyed. The two of them were together because they wanted to deal with Annie. Now that the other party had done something to let them down, there was no need to maintain this superficial peace.
During the ceremony in the afternoon, they almost couldn’t control her expression, but they still looked too serious on camera.
Fortunately, the stunt double was frightened by the incident. He was not in good spirits in the afternoon. The media guessed that they were worried about their father’s health.
Sophie thought things were halfway done when Annie suddenly handed over a stack of photographs in the evening.
“These are all young n.o.bles. Pick two to meet.”
Sophie couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “Mom, do you have any idea what you’re talking about? I’m married.”
