Shane's words caused Anxi to be slightly taken aback.
Even Aridia, who had been silent all along, furrowed her brows and looked towards Shane.
Yet, Shane didn't feel any pressure.
Because he was very clear that Anxi was just testing him.
After all...
"Your Majesty must have known for a long time that, in fact, Luoqi doesn't want to be a queen at all," Shane said calmly, "She has no desire to succeed the throne and even wants to support her elder sister, Liyadella, in ascending to the throne. Your Majesty is surely aware of this."
Anxi remained silent.
As both the king and a father, he indeed could not be unaware of this matter.
Luoqi had never hidden this thought, had she?
In front of Liya, Luoqi had said this many times.
Thus, the kingdom had known for a long time that Luoqi had little interest in the throne.
Otherwise, within the upper echelons of the kingdom, there would have been many factions supporting Luoqi's ascension, building momentum for her succession early on.
