The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 0566

Knowing the King and Queen weren't responsible for the latest attempt on my life should have come as a relief. But Nicholas and Julian were acting like this only made everything worse.

I didn't know what could be worse than having the most powerful couple in the kingdom, and likely the planet, wanting you dead.

"This is... a good thing, right?" I ventured to ask.

Nicholas hummed low, a noise I had come to recognize as disagreement. Julian shook his head.

"I'm not convinced Prince Ronan was acting alone," Julian said. "He's a right asshole, certainly, and he has the credentials to sneak around. But he's also a buffoon with more brawn than brains. And given enough time to calm down, he typically just moves on to some other woman."

I lifted a brow at Julian, wondering how the hell he knew so much about Prince Ronan, while Nicholas had to get all this same information from Ambassador Zale.

Julian caught me looking and then rolled his eyes. "We used to be in somewhat of the same circles. Or, at least, Ronan thought we were. Two rebellious, philandering princes. While I was in it mostly for the information leakage, Ronan genuinely thought we had a comradery."

"I didn't know any of this," Nicholas said.

"Not like you took much interest in my... extra-curricular activities, brother. Except to scold me for them," Julian said.
