Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Overthrow the entire royalty

"Ian, what are you doing here?" Casaio asked in confusion, his gaze sharp. He immediately noticed the palace servant standing behind Ian, a servant he himself had dismissed moments before, indicating Ian had countermanded his order.

"Good morning, Your Highness," Ian started with a formal greeting. "I have come to talk to you about an important matter."

"Can we talk later? Right now, I have to head somewhere," Casaio stated, eager to leave. He took a step forward, but Ian moved subtly to block him.

"I will be accompanying you to the werewolf academy. The Alpha King has ordered me to become a mediator and help you from now onward," Ian explained, dropping the unsettling news.

Casaio’s brows furrowed deeply. "What do you mean? I don’t need any council member’s help in this matter, Ian," he clarified, his tone signaling his desire for Ian to leave.

"Your Highness, you are currently in a lesser rank than I," Ian suddenly stated, delivering the cold, calculated truth.

"What?" Casaio’s eyes instantly turned a dangerous red, the statement acting as a powerful trigger. "What did you say, Ian? Repeat it!"

"You heard me, Your Highness," Ian replied, completely undaunted by the threat of the Alpha Prince’s rage. "Given the scandal that surrounds you and the decisions you have made, the power you once held has diminished. You must be forgetting that the Alpha King has to listen to the council, and under no circumstances shall he favor his children in matters of state."

"I know that much. But how is my rank lesser than yours?" Casaio affirmed, still frowning, struggling to process the insult. "You must know in front of whom you are standing before making such a remark." He was already troubled by how Idris had been treated, and Ian’s audacity was quickly pushing him over the edge.

Ian took out a formally sealed document, the royal decree, from the inside pocket of his blazer and showed it to Casaio.

"Your father gave me this just this morning. Yesterday, a great deal transpired in the council after Idris was found to be bullied," Ian explained. "While you were occupied with that domestic matter, the Alpha King was pushed to the edge by the council for keeping a former spy in this palace."

"Zilia is not—"

Ian didn’t let him finish, citing the political fallout. "Indeed, the matter died down for a short while, but it was triggered again after the sudden, massive outrage on social media. And let’s not forget about how the power of the people can overthrow the entire royalty in a single day." Ian made sure Casaio understood the seriousness of the popular unrest.

Ian’s words made Casaio chuckle, a humorless sound. He never thought a man younger than him would be threatening him, the Crown Prince, with such political authority.

"Fine. You can accompany me," Casaio stated, his initial rage subdued by the reality of the decree. He fixed Ian with a stern, warning gaze. "But keep in mind that you are not allowed to speak unnecessarily or interfere without my express command."

"Of course, Your Highness," said Ian, bowing his head, thus giving a way to Casaio to go ahead.
