Arthur Yael looked at her with a stern face but remained silent.

Seeing this, the kingdom became even more agitated.

"Even if the king does not care for Quinn, he is still a member of the Yael royal family. Being insulted and beaten by outsiders in this manner is not just a matter of injury, but a threat to the authority of our Yael royal family!"

"If the king ignores this, then in the future any outsider can enter our country and bully our Yael royal family at will? Moreover, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated, Your Majesty cannot simply blame Everyone on Quinn!"

"In my opinion, even if Quinn is reckless, he would not dare to tarnish the dignity of the Yael royal family by coveting a married woman. Besides, the woman from the Southern country is already pregnant, who would want to become a stepfather for free?"

Upon hearing this, Arthur Yael finally couldn't take it anymore and slammed his hand heavily on the table.

With a loud "smack," the entire table shook, and the teacups on the table flew out.

As the teacups hit the ground, porcelain pieces and tea splashed everywhere.

Kingdom was startled by his imposing manner and immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak further!

Arthur Yael has a fiery temper. If she truly gets angry, not to mention Quinn, even as the queen, she will be implicated!

"Queen, I have listened to all the accusations you just made. In your opinion, how should we handle this matter?"

The queen wiped away her tears and said tearfully, "It is a fact that Leonard hit someone, but he is after all the ruler of the southern country. We cannot afford to ruin our relationship because of this. Therefore, the only way to resolve this is to have the ruler and queen of the southern country personally kneel and apologize to the entire Yael royal family."

"Kneel and apologize?"

Arthur Yael laughed heartily as if hearing a great joke. "Queen, despite your status as a mother of the country, you are being absurd. Furthermore, Quinn was raised by you. Who understands his temperament better than you?"

"King, what do you mean?"

The queen felt unsettled under Arthur Yael's wise and penetrating gaze. Before coming to the council chamber, she had interrogated the guards around Quinn and learned Everyone. It turned out that Quinn deliberately approached Freya and used forceful means to make her submit. Freya was unwilling to endure the humiliation, leading to their conflict.

Queen does not want to admit this matter, after all, if the king knows about Quinn's actions, it will only strengthen his determination to depose the heir. Therefore, she can only shift all the blame onto Freya!

"What do you mean?" Arthur Yael said with a stern face, "Back then, when Quinn caused trouble in the capital of Magniflora, it was for a singer named Reita. I wonder if the queen knows the identity of Reita?"

The queen pretended to be guilty and shook her head, "I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, Arthur Yael sneered and said, "You don't know, huh? Then let me tell you, Reita is Freya, the woman of Leonard!"

"Tonight's turmoil, I see it's because Frederick still had lingering feelings and offended someone, which is why he ended up like this. It's all his own fault!"

Arthur Yael emphasized the last sentence, making the queen's expression even more grim.

She clenched her fist and defended, "Even so, Leonard cannot resort to violence. His actions undoubtedly show a lack of respect for our Yael royal family!"

"Queen!"

Arthur Yael's forehead veins bulged, and he sternly said, "I will settle accounts with Leonard on this matter. You need not interfere. As for the heir issue, my decision is final, and you need not mention it again!"

"The king..."

"Step down!"

Before the queen could speak again, the king interrupted in a deep voice.

Knowing that continuing to argue would only anger Arthur Yael more, the queen could only step back for now, looking for an opportunity to save Yael Quinn.

As she left, the sound of the guard's report came from outside!

"Lord Solterra, Lady Solterra is here!"

"Please come in!"

Soon, two figures were seen entering the hall.

Out of courtesy, Bradley let go of Freya's hand and walked in with her.

"Please have a seat, both of you!"

Arthur Yaelstraightened his thoughts and gestured with his hand. After they both sat down, there was no conversation. Arthur Yael also pondered for a long time before speaking, "Tonight is the 18th birthday banquet of the young lady, originally a great joyous occasion, but it has turned into an unpleasant situation, which is due to my negligence as a member of the Yael royal family."

Arthur Yael's words clearly indicated a concession, which Bradley naturally understood. He also replied politely, "This matter is not the king's fault, it is my own lack of restraint. However, my wife is about to give birth, and seeing the safety of my wife and Yara being threatened, I believe that any man with a conscience would not allow his women to be wronged in any way."

The first half of his statement acknowledged his mistake, while the second half defended his family. Arthur Yaelcouldn't help but admire Bradley's courage, as this was the demeanor that only a true king possessed. Thinking about the pitiful appearance of Quinn, Arthur Yael's head throbbed with anger.

"I will handle this matter fairly without favoritism, therefore, I will apologize to the Southern Dynasty on behalf of the erring child, as Quinn crossed the line and offended you." With that, Arthur Yael signaled for a maid to bring tea, ying cup was handed to Freya and the other to Arthur Yael.

"I apologize sincerely by offering tea instead of wine!" Arthur Yael finished the tea in ying gulp. Freya glanced at Bradley and also drank the tea. "But..." Arthur Yael spoke again, "The southern ruler is responsible for the safety of the south, but his actions were too ruthless, nearly putting Quinn in a life-threatening situation. The southern ruler should give my Yael royal family an explanation!" Arthur Yael had been seated firmly on the throne for decades, honing not only his ability to judge people but also his cold, hard heart. Despite his doubts about the queen's words, he had to admit that her words were convincing. This is the Zarovia, not the south. Leonard's reckless actions in harming others were a provocation to Z's authority.

Therefore, he had to pursue this responsibility! Bradley also knew that he was too angry at the time, and his actions were absolutely ruthless to the extreme! But if he were given the choice again, he would still do the same! "Do you still remember how the Crown Prince of Magniflora capital was seriously injured by someone, and how did you resolve it?" Facing the authority of Arthur Yael, Bradley remained calm without any waves on his face. After so many years of bloodshed, he had seen Everyone in all kinds of situations. Even if he had hit someone, he did it with a clear conscience and never bowed down! Arthur Yael's face slightly changed, with his eyebrows deeply furrowed together! Then he heard Bradley continue, "At that time, the other party was injured more severely than the Crown Prince, possibly paralyzed in bed for life. However, the king provided a sum of money as compensation to end the incident. If I were to compensate in this manner, I wonder if the king would be satisfied?" "Leonard..."

Arthur Yael listened and became so angry that he slammed the table again, saying, "Are you insulting my Yael dynasty? Do you really think the royal family of Yael is lacking in money?"
