Chapter 1755: Deciding to Inherit the Throne
With Julie’s words, Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the plan is correct, and followed step by step, nothing will go wrong.
In fact, her decision was the right one. One day in the future, she would realize that letting go of her obsession with the throne helped Taylor.
After the meeting ended.
Justin Kingston and Ian Shelby also strolled on the lawn in front of the castle, both letting out a sigh of relief.
But since Eden is Ian Shelby’s uncle, Ian felt somewhat complicated, emotionally hurt.
"What are your plans?" Ian asked, snapping out of his thoughts.
Justin Kingston replied, "Mia is pregnant, and Gigi and Dolly are also planning to go abroad, so we’re thinking of returning to Riventhal."
"When are you leaving?"
"We’ll set out early tomorrow morning, and we’ll inform the King shortly."
"Thank you," Ian expressed his heartfelt gratitude, "You made time to come despite your busy schedule, not even having a proper new year."
"No need for such formal words, we’re all friends."
Justin Kingston patted his shoulder and walked forward, "In fact, Lorelei is now prosperous, already a stable country, I believe you have the ability to manage all this well."
"But you also know, I have little interest in fame and fortune, since a young age I’ve been away from here, everything here is unfamiliar to me."
Ian was truly laid-back, "But father is too stubborn, he’s the same as years ago, not considering others’ feelings much, preferring to make decisions on his own."
"That’s because he can see people accurately, he can only rest assured entrusting the country to you."
Justin Kingston told him, "You can go back and forth, or stay here long-term, you can continue medical research work, or teach students with talent in this field."
Ian rather agreed with this viewpoint, sharing experience to let more people pass on love.
Justin Kingston said, "After all, one person’s power is always limited, and after you get married, your focus should be on family."
"So..." Ian asked, "Do you think I should smoothly inherit the throne on the 28th of next month? Or should I still fight for my freedom? Rebel a bit against my father?"
"Of course inherit it, this should originally belong to you."
Justin Kingston answered him, "Currently, in all of Lorelei, only you are capable of taking up the mantle, your father’s health is gradually recovering, he can teach you many things, transitioning work bit by bit so you’re not clueless."
"Hahahaha!" The King’s voice arrived before he did.
The two stopped and looked up to see the King clapping and approaching, "Yes, yes, Mr. Kingston is absolutely right!" followed by a few guards.
This was unexpected for both of them.
"Father."
"King."
The King’s gaze landed on Ian, "Once you’ve inherited the throne, your next step should be to consider a wedding! By then my health should have fully recovered, and I can give you blessings and officiate your wedding!"
The King’s voice was somewhat loud, filled with unprecedented joy, clearly in a much better state today.
Not far off, Jocelyn and Mia Lane stopped hand in hand, looking over, having heard the King’s words too.
Mia Lane smiled sweetly at the girl beside her.
Jocelyn met Ian Shelby’s gaze, smiling at him, her eyes like dark grapes full of spirit, clear and bright as if washed by water.
Ian looked away from his father, then took steps toward the two girls not far off.
The King glanced back and then looked joyfully at Justin Kingston, "Mr. Kingston, the day Ian ascends the throne, I wish to invite you and your wife to witness it together! Would you be available?"
