Chapter 1772: When Were You Planning to Get Married?
Having obtained the king's permission and with the court physician hesitating, he played a little trick, creating a very mysterious
atmosphere.
This made the king inevitably worried. He turned to him, "What's wrong? Since you've come, you must have something to say,
right?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Louis has beaten Prince Taylor," the court physician said with a grave expression, sighing, "and he beat him
severely, leaving him bruised and swollen, unable to show his face."
The king stopped in his tracks, looking at him with sdisbelief.
The court physician also stopped, and the two middle-aged men's gazes met. The court physician couldn't quite figure out what
the king was thinking at the moment, but he knew that he had successfully made his complaint.
After a few seconds of silence, the king asked him, "What was the reason?"

The calm tone surprised the court physician, but it was clear that the king was not aware of this matter before.
"I'm asking you for the reason," the king repeated, his tone calm but with a hint of impatience. "Don't hesitate, just speak."
The court physician quickly regained his composure. "I... I'm not sure."
"Not sure, and yet you made a complaint?" The king saw through him, seeming to understand his thoughts in a second.
The words "made a complaint" struck the court physician, making him feel a little guilty and somewhat embarrassed because
making a complaint was something only a three-year-old child would do.
The king glanced at him, his gaze withdrawing, and continued to stride forward.
The court physician hung his head, half-bent, feeling somewhat ashamed as he followed alongside the king.
And so, the topic ended there. The king didn't mention it again, and the court physician dared not continue with the complaint.
However, the king was filled with worry and concern for Taylor in his heart, and at the stime, he was very certain that there
was a reason for the incident.
Louis was a sensible child, understanding the rules and considering the overall situation. Being beaten up must be Taylor's own
fault; otherwise, how could Catherine have watched her son being harmed without coming to complain?
It wasn't until the court physician, with an anxious heart, accompanied the king for a long walk, not paying attention to the scenery
along the way, that he realized a fact today-
That Prince Louis's position in the king's heart far surpassed that of Prince Taylor's, so his position on the throne was definitely
secure. This matter would not change.
The court physician thought to himself that he must not offend Prince Louis in the future, otherwise, how could he continue to
thrive in the royal court?
The two strolled around the courtyard, and as they returned when they were about to reach the palace, the king spoke, "Go and
treat Taylor, don't leave any sequelae."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the court physician respectfully saluted and reported, "I will treat him. Recovery may take a long time.

"Very well," the king said, not saying anything more.
In the evening, Rowan arrived at the royal palace to have dinner with the king, as they had agreed.
In the magnificent dining hall, Rowan and his father sat at opposite ends of the table.
Exquisite waiters lined up to serve tonight's dishes one by one-two cups of fruit soup, chocolate pie, Dupont wine, turbot fillet,
venison, with lobster mousse... and rice was also served.
Although there were only the father and son, the dishes were nutritious and plentiful.
"When do you and Claire plan to get married?" the king asked, smiling as he personally poured the wine, looking at the handsome
man sitting opposite him with santicipation.
Today, it seemed as if the matter brought up by the court physician had not been heard. The king would not dwell on it, let alone
ask for reasons here.
