Nathaniel and Grace were much more refined compared to Dustin, who was wolfing down his food. They savored
each bite and ate in moderation.
Half an hour later, Dustin finally had his fill. His previously flat belly was now protruding, and he couldn’t have been
more satisfied.
After the last sip of wine, Dustin couldn’t help but let out a long, satisfied burp. At this point, a good nap would be
perfect.
Suddenly, Dustin felt himself feeling more tired. That meal had left him even sleepier.
“Logan, are you satisfied with your meal?” Nathaniel asked with a smile.
“Absolutely. I had a feast today with you serving up rare delicacies.” Dustin looked extremely satisfied. Everything
tasted good to him when he was hungry.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“That’s good.” Nathaniel nodded, the smile still on his face.
“Logan, if I may ask, why were you wandering around so late at night instead of resting? A lot has happened today,
and there are checkpoints both inside and outside of Oakvale. You need to be careful.”
“Oh, I just came back from Prince Matthias’ residence,” Dustin answered frankly. He was tired and just wanted to
get things over with. The earlier he finished, the earlier he would be able to get some sleep.
“Oh?” Nathaniel feigned surprise. ” Was there something important for you to visit Matthias’ place this late at
night?”
“His Majesty has trouble deciding on the next heir to the throne, and Prince Matthias had invited me over to discuss
the matter,” Dustin explained.
“The next heir to the throne?”
That got Nathaniel’s attention, and he immediately asked, “Is Father considering Matthias for the throne?”
“Not exactly.” Dustin shook his head.
“His Majesty mentioned that each of you has your own strengths. Since he couldn’t make a decision, he sought my
advice.”
“Oh? So, who do you think is most fitting to be the King among the three of us?”
“I don’t believe it matters. After all, it’s ultimately up to the King to decide.” Dustin shook his head.
“Logan, there’s no need to be modest. If Father invited you to the palace late at night for advice, he must seriously
value your opinion. A few kind words from you could make a significant impact,” Nathaniel said solemnly.
“I don’t think so. Do my words really carry that much weight?” Dustin feigned ignorance.
“Absolutely!”
Nathaniel continued seriously, “Logan, I’ll be honest. I’m highly interested in the throne. As long as you support my
ascent, I’ll reward you greatly when I succeed.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I…” Dustin put on a troubled front, but in reality, he was silently looking down on Nathaniel.
Tristan and Matthias had tried to win him over with valuable gifts, demonstrating their sincerity. Nathaniel, on the
other hand, only made promises without substance. How stingy.
“What’s the matter? Do you not trust in my abilities?”
Nathaniel stated confidently, “Tristan and Matthias might be older than me by a few years, but I definitely surpass
them in terms of talent and abilities.
“If I become King, I would undoubtedly lead Dragonmarsh to new heights. When that day comes, you’ll be my right-
hand man and receive great benefits.”
“I admire your ambition, Prince Nathaniel. However, as a commoner, I have limited influence and find it challenging
to shoulder such a great responsibility.” Dustin shook his head again.
While doing so, he silently urged Nathaniel to step up and show some commitment.
How could he offer his support if there was nothing substantial? Was Nathaniel aiming for a free lunch?
