Chapter 213 - I Dont Need A Babysitter (1/2)

Most of the people, except for those who already knew, were shocked. They had never thought that the King would have twin sons instead. Everybody became quiet as they waited for the King's words to continue.

”My wife, the Queen, had kept it from me only because she wanted to surprise me on my birthday back then.” The King sighed as he drew away his downcast eyes from the people in front of him. ”Instead of a joyful night, I've been greeted by my wife's death. Gavin was kidnapped and for so many years, I never knew that I actually had another son.”

What the King experienced was such a tragedy that most of the people in the room couldn't help but sympathize with him.

”Today, I am here to introduce my lost son, Prince Gavin of the Wilhelm Royal Family.”

This time, instead of chatterings between those who heard his announcement, the people clapped, others cheered, welcoming the King's long lost son before them. They were delighted to see that their King was able to reunite with his other son.

As the royal guard signaled them to be quiet, the room fell silent once again. The King was not yet done with his announcement.

”Lastly, I'd like to announce that I'll be abdicating the crown to Prince Gavin.”

This was something the public never expected.

”Why would the King give the throne to Prince Gavin when the person who deserved it better is Prince Cedric?”

”Is Prince Gavin even capable like his brother?”

Unlike the warm welcome earlier, the public's opinion about the King's decision was divided. Some didn't mind Prince Gavin for the throne since they were sure that he could handle it, after all, he's the King's son.

On the other hand, some questioned his capabilities. Unlike Prince Cedric, he didn't grow up in the country. He did not have lessons required for a prince from childhood. To them, it was like giving the kingdom to a kid who had yet to prove himself.

Kimmy sighed as the reporters began questioning the King's decision. Even Olivia and her parents had disapproving looks in their eyes, most especially Olivia.

After the conference, the royal family was followed by the reporters who bombarded them with questions.

”Let's go,” Cain whispered in Kimmy's ear before he grabbed her hand and protected her from being squished by the crowd.

Not far from them, Leila was able to see how protective Cain became and this only made her pleased. She knew that he was someone who would take care of her daughter.

Both Cain and Kimmy were successfully led out of the palace hall, away from the group who had been trying to get a word from the Royal Family.

”I told you this will happen,” she mumbled as she followed him out of the Palace hall.

It would definitely take some time before the country as a whole would accept Gavin as their new King. Although it was not like he didn't prepare for that. It was already to be expected after all.

It was a good thing that the royal guards were able to have the media in control.
