The Journey of the Chairman
27. Episode 27's
"Well now I understand your feelings Royce, so is there anything I can give you to help you a little?" ask Leonard.
"You don't have to give me anything, Leo, but I just want you not to give your support to the Crown Prince, I don't think he's fit to be the next heir" Royce said.
"Are you planning to take the Throne from Celio?" ask Leonard.
"Actually I'm not interested in power struggles, if only my second brother wasn't stupid, I think he would be a great King in the future" Royce said.
"Caffle? where he is, I've never seen him" Leonard said.
"He must have been in his palace and played with his servants" Royce said.
"If indeed you are not interested in the throne and the second prince is still acting like a minor, only Celio has the opportunity to be the next heir instead" Leonard said.
"Have you never been in the mind to take over this kingdom?" royce asked with a face that this time was really serious.
"What do you mean Royce! You're telling me to revolt against the kingdom?! it's impossible to do, I'd only be a royal traitor if I did that" Leonard said, a little upset by Prince Royce's remarks.
"Don't you still have a grudge against this kingdom, Leo, to be honest with your heart you don't have to cover it up. Your late father and Queen's adoptive brother must be punished for the act that turned out to be only a misunderstanding and your current position is only as a redemption for the guilt of the previous King for your family is not" royce tried to blame the fire on Leonard's body.
"Then because of that incident too, your mother lost her sanity and repeatedly tried to take her life and you did not ask for justice for your family at all? What your late father will say later you have disappointed him Leo and also your mother will definitely feel more disappointed with you and now the Queen also wants to use you as a tool to helping the Crown Prince ascend the throne" Royce continued.
"Remember the merits your father used to do to this country and because of one mistake he had to disappear and you lost your precious family while the culprit was still living happily and freely, did you really forget all that Leonard?" royce said again and again.
"What do you mean by saying it's all Royce, I know what path I take and it won't make me betray this kingdom, if I were a traitor my father and mother would be more disappointed" Leonard said.
"Have your words just now really come from the bottom of your heart Leo, don't be a coward and start fighting for justice for yourself, Leo or you'll end up being a coward like me who can't do anything" Royce said.
"It's enough Royce I still have business I'll be back" Leonard said and stood up from his place and walked out.
"I'm sure after hearing everything I've said to you, you won't stay silent Leonard" said Royce, smiling at his place.

After the sun set and changed into moonlight that illuminated the dark night in the third prince's palace, the two subordinates of the Cafel namely Aron and Ciel came to give a report.
"Just tell me what you saw" Kafel said.
"I was" said Ciel, and Aron agreed with a nod.
"After you told me to look at Mr. Leo's movements he did not do anything suspicious at all but there was something that surprised me when I went to the place of the third prince, he said, at that time I saw a quarrel between the couple and Mr. Leo came and broke up their quarrel, after that Mr. Leo went and chased the third Prince until he told Mr. Leo to go to his workplace_" said Ciel cut by Aron.
"Hehehe, I'm sorry I'm going straight to the point, so when I thought that they were just plain talking at the end before Mr. Leo left, I said, Prince Royce provoked Mr. Leo by reminding the past that it seemed rather painful for Mr. Leo and I did not expect that the third Prince had ordered Mr. Leo to seize the position of the next King by putting up a rebellion against the kingdom" said Ciel.
Hearing that Kafel and Aron were shocked, it seemed like Leonard would also be a rival to their plan.
"Then what do you want to say Aron?" ask Kafel.
"At the Prime Minister's residence he has made plans to undertake the appointment of the Crown Prince as the next King one Sunday from now and also I have sent a message to Mr. Albern's confidants to make an attack on the the main palace at that time was also according to your orders" said Aron.
"Good, I think even though Royce and Leonard want to do something in this short time it will be impossible, but we still have to be careful and keep an eye on their movements" Kafel said.
"Okay sir" said Aron and Ciel simultaneously.

While in Talitha's shop, Mia and Melinda were treating Talitha's legs.
"Soft is a little, this wound feels a bit sore" Talitha said.
"Sorry Miss" said Melinda.
"I'd have said to look the way properly Miss, if only I hadn't seen you when I fell down, who would have helped you" Mia said.
"Look at your smooth legs so hurt because you are not careful, men will not like women who have scars" he continued.
"I'm also not interested in any man, isn't this wound looking cool Mia? I look like a real woman" Talitha said proudly of her masterpiece.
Mia who was upset by Talitha's words then pressed the wound so as to make Talitha close her mouth to not speak anymore, she knew that Mia was now worrying about her. But sometimes Mia looks a bit excessive if she finds her lady injured.
"Mia don't press Miss's wound, she'll be in pain" Melinda said, hitting Mia's hand slowly.
"It's okay Melinda, it doesn't hurt" Talitha told a lie because the injury was painful.
"Your wound is done in the treatment now I'll take you home and rest at Miss's house, for some days you can't go anywhere before this wound heals" Mia said.
