Chapter 227 - King And Queen Of Moravia Come To Visit

Ren received Karl in his ward on the morning of the second day after he was admitted to the hospital. His uncle came accompanied by John, who decided to wait for Ren in the lounge outside of his private ward.

"How is your health, Your Highness?" asked Karl attentively.

Ren lifted his face and looked at Karl expressionlessly. "Better than yesterday."

"Hmm .. that's great. I've prepared a press conference for you after you got out of the hospital. Of course, you need to talk to King Gustave and Queen Elena first."

Ren snorted. "I know you purposely distributed pictures of Vega and me in Bali."

Karl smiled slightly. He poured himself the tea from the teapot to the cup and nodded. "You're right. It is time for us to move on to the next stage. I think it is time for the king and queen of Moravia to meet their granddaughter-in-law whom the Prince has been hiding."

"The Lindens won't let me announce their daughter's identity," Ren said nonchalantly. "You took matters into your own hands without consulting me, and now you're screwing things up. You can't blame me for your actions."

Karl gasped in surprise. "They won't allow you to announce your marriage to Vega? Why?"

"Because they still want to solve the kidnapping case. I guess that's the reason. What else could it be?" Ren stared at Karl with blazing eyes. His face looked sour again as usual. "You have to find a scapegoat so they will think the kidnapper had been caught or dead and they can drop the case. It's all your fault."

Karl narrowed his eyes. "We can think of something."

Ren rolled his eyes. "Not us, but YOU have to think about it yourself. It's your fault. I don't want to get involved."

"Hmm ..." Karl looked thoughtful. "The only one I think can be sacrificed is Sophia. She has a motive, and we can direct all the evidence to her."

"You want to sacrifice that woman?" asked Ren with a sneer. "I guess you are even worse than me. She loves you."

"She is no use to me. She was supposed to be the one to contact Elios' family and tell them that she 'saw you' with Vega when she was traveling to Moravia for a vacation. But now we don't need him. The Linden family has found Vega. I had to take drastic steps and send the information to Mischa myself. "

"You can't let Sophia talk," said Ren firmly.

"Of course not. I'll make sure she can't talk," Karl said firmly. He looked at Ren with a worried look. "You haven't told me what the situation is there? They won't let me go to their private island, so I can't help you."

"I'm fine. There's nothing to be afraid of. At least for now. Everyone treats me well because I am Vega's husband," replied Ren. "Let me take care of them. After I finish my business in Moravia, I will return to visit Vega to Targu Mures. They will likely give me the immortality potion."

Karl's eyes were sparkling at Ren's words. "Really? That means all Sophia's words are true. An outsider who marries a member of the Alchemist clan will be rewarded with the immortality potion ... Have you met Aldebar? What kind of person is he?"

Ren nodded. "Yes. They are all so amazing. All the women are amazingly beautiful, and all the men are very handsome. They all look like they are in their 20s. Just like Sophia. I met them all in one place."

Karl nodded excitedly. "We got all the useful information from Sophia. I didn't think it was true. When I first heard about it from your father, I thought he didn't really mean it. He's a genius like you, but ... sometimes. he can be a bit... irrational. So I couldn't believe what he was saying until I saw them myself."

"I'm not in the mood to talk about my father," said Ren quickly. He waved his hand and gestured for Karl to stop talking. "Do you know what time the king and queen will be here?"

"In half an hour ..." said Karl. "I've contacted the palace. They've already left and will see you soon."

"Hmmm ... alright. I will change clothes to meet the king in this room. Please leave me." He grabbed Karl's shoulder and pressed hard, and spoke menacingly. "Remember, you have to get rid of Sophia. Don't make another mistake."

Karl nodded. His face looked murky, but he didn't argue. He then excused himself and left Ren to get ready to receive guests. King Gustave and his wife will arrive at the hospital soon. He must prepare everything.

"Gosh, Renald ... What the hell happened? Why did Amelia come to your place and do that? What is your relationship with her? Is it true that she did it because she was jealous?" asked Queen Elena as soon as the door to Ren's private ward was opened, and she burst in with her husband.

The beautiful 74-year-old queen's face was filled with anxiety. Ren tried to get up from his bed to pay his respects, but Queen Elena hurriedly prevented him.

"Don't get up.. You must rest. The doctors said your condition is quite bad," said the queen. She pressed Ren's shoulder and forced him to lie down. "Moravia cannot lose any more heirs."

"Hmm .. thank you, Grandma," said Ren. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Queen Elena's words reminded him that he was responsible for killing the heir to the Moravian throne before him.

"The Geneveive family insists that you and Amelia have a special relationship. They also blew the rumors some time ago that you and Amelia are getting married," said King Gustave in an unhappy voice. "I thought the gossip was true. You spent so much time with her and she worked as your secretary."

"That's right," said Queen Elena. "Imagine our surprise when you disappeared and then we saw your pictures on the internet with a foreign girl in Bali. And then... the Amelia Genevieve incident."

The queen shook her head. "This really shakes Moravia to the core. You know that in our small country there are hardly any scandals. Now how can we take a stand against such a big scandal?"

Ren listened to everything his grandparents said until they finished, without saying anything. After they were silent, then he took Queen Elena's hand and kissed it.

"Grandma ... I'm sorry. Actually, I was already married secretly. She is already pregnant with my children ..." Ren said with a deep sigh. "I'll take her to see you when the situation gets better."

Queen Elena's face suddenly lit up. She exchanged glances with her husband and patted Ren on the shoulder enthusiastically. "She is already pregnant? That means Moravia already has another successor?"

Ren's face suddenly turned dark. "Unfortunately ... Amelia has already killed our children. She shot Vega at the royal gala in new year's eve. She did it out of jealousy."

Queen Elena immediately held her breath and her face looked very shocked.
