"Charles said you personally promised you could cure me, but now you're saying you can't. Do you think I'm a fool to be toyed with!"
Prince Matthew stared at Victor, his voice laced with fury.
Previously, Prince Matthew had believed Victor could cure him. Thus, when Charles discovered Jiang Yi's connection to Menasha, he deemed Jiang Yi unreliable and had him confined.
However, Victor now informed Prince Matthew that he could not cure his illness.
Prince Matthew felt he had been tricked!
"Prince Matthew, you are mistaken. I never guaranteed I could cure your illness. When Mr. Charles approached me, I only stated that I needed to diagnose you before determining if there was a chance of a cure!" Victor said hastily.
Upon hearing this, Prince Matthew immediately understood that Charles, not Victor, had deceived him.
"Charles, how dare you! You even dare to deceive me!"
"You said Victor could definitely cure my illness and that I should have Jiang Yi executed. Fortunately, I didn't listen to you. If I had executed Jiang Yi, no one would be able to cure me, and I would have died of illness. You deliberately planned to kill me!" Prince Matthew roared at Charles in anger.
Charles broke out in a cold sweat, filled with fear.
He had completely enraged Prince Matthew this time, and Prince Matthew would never let him off easily.
After all his schemes to get rid of Jiang Yi, Charles had ended up entrapping himself!
"It's very clear now. Charles deliberately lied to Godfather, saying Victor could cure Godfather's illness. His goal was to eliminate Jiang Yi!"
"Charles must have colluded with the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, intending to kill Godfather and execute Jiang Yi. Executing Jiang Yi would be equivalent to killing Godfather. Once Jiang Yi is dead, no one can cure Godfather's illness!"
"In short, Jiang Yi is innocent; the one with the problem is Charles!" Tracy declared.
"That's right, Charles has always wanted to kill Jiang Yi with ulterior motives. He must be from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family!"
"I never imagined the Eagle Kingdom's royal family was so powerful, managing to bribe Charles, Prince Matthew's adopted son. Charles is Prince Matthew's most trusted person!"
"The Eagle Kingdom's royal family is truly pervasive. We must be extremely cautious from now on. Perhaps there are still people from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family among us!"
... The nobles began to discuss amongst themselves.
Now, even with ten mouths, Charles couldn't explain himself. No matter how he argued, it was useless. Everyone was convinced he was a member of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family and had colluded with them!
"What do you have to say for yourself now?" Prince Matthew stared at Charles, his face full of fury.
"Godfather, I know you won't believe anything I say now. I only have one thing to say: I am innocent!" Charles replied.
"You still have the nerve to claim innocence? I trusted you so much all these years, and yet you've done something like this. I must make an example of you, or the Eagle Kingdom's royal family will see me as a joke!"
"The Eagle Kingdom's royal family must be laughing at me now, seeing that even the person I trusted most has betrayed me!" Prince Matthew said sternly.
Despair flickered across Charles's face. There was no use in saying anything now!
Charles felt immense resentment for not being able to eliminate Jiang Yi.
"Guards, seize Charles! And take Victor with him. Keep them under strict watch and execute them tomorrow." Prince Matthew roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, several bodyguards approached and immediately took Charles away.
Charles didn't resist, as resistance would be futile. Prince Matthew intended to execute him, and he couldn't escape.
After the bodyguards seized Charles, they prepared to take Victor.
"Prince Matthew, you cannot execute me!" Victor said calmly. "I came to treat you, but your illness is too peculiar. The responsibility for my inability to cure it does not lie with me, but with you!"
"You couldn't cure my illness, so your medical skills are insufficient. Don't you deserve to die?" Prince Matthew said coldly.
"Prince Matthew, you are being unreasonable! Fine, even if it is my responsibility, so what?"
"I am from the Mei Nation's Eagle Medical Association. Apart from our own national authorities, no foreign country or person has the right to execute me. It's not just that I couldn't cure your illness; even if I had killed someone in your country, you wouldn't have the right to execute me. You must let me leave. I have already contacted the Mei Nation's representative office in the Eagle Kingdom, and they will deal with you!" Victor said arrogantly. Even facing a prominent figure like Prince Matthew of the Eagle Kingdom, Victor showed no panic, completely disregarding him.
Prince Matthew's face darkened.
"Prince Matthew, as a prominent figure in the Eagle Kingdom, you should be well aware of our Mei Nation's regulations. Mei Nation citizens, even if they commit heinous crimes, must be handled by our own country. Your Eagle Kingdom does not have this qualification!" Victor became increasingly smug.
The Mei Nation was a top global power, and all the rules it set became worldwide regulations. Anyone who did not comply would face various retaliatory measures. Prince Matthew dared not violate these rules casually.
This situation put Prince Matthew in a difficult position. If he didn't execute Victor, he would lose face. As a proud prince of the Eagle Kingdom, he couldn't even deal with a mere doctor; if this got out, it would become an international joke.
However, if he executed Victor, it would mean violating the Mei Nation's regulations, and the Mei Nation would surely make things difficult for him.
"Prince Matthew, I advise you to release me. Face is not worth much compared to causing major trouble!" Victor sneered.
Prince Matthew was initially hesitant and planned to release Victor.
However, unexpectedly, Victor threatened Prince Matthew in front of so many people, which immediately ignited a killing intent in Prince Matthew's heart.
When had Prince Matthew ever endured such humiliation?
This was an outright insult.
"Seize him!" Prince Matthew roared furiously.
"Yes!" The bodyguards responded and walked directly towards Victor.
"Get away! I'll walk myself. Don't touch me; you're not qualified to lay hands on me!" Victor shouted loudly.
The bodyguards ignored him and grabbed Victor's arms, preparing to take him away.
"Prince Matthew, you will pay for what you have done. You will regret this soon!" Victor yelled at Prince Matthew in anger.
"Take him away quickly. I don't want to see him anymore!" Prince Matthew shouted.
The bodyguards hurried to take Victor away. After a while, Victor's curses gradually faded into the courtyard outside the hall!
