Chapter 654: Royal Family Dispute
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to make Sophie’s first grand appearance, Jiang An invited all the media outlets she could to ensure that the news would spread throughout China as soon as possible.
These media outlets also swarmed over. Even if the Jiang family’s requirements for entering the venue were very harsh, they were willing to come.
This was the first time Princess Sophie had appeared in public in China. As a foreign princess, her actions were naturally the center of attention.
Not to mention that the princess was very mysterious. It had been six or seven years since she last attended an event, and Sophie had never appeared in public during this period.
In today’s society, news was updated very quickly. The public could only remember the current situation, so Sophie was not recognized when she was recording the variety show.
No one would associate a princess of a country with the wife of a celebrity. Moreover, Sophie’s performance on the show was very ordinary. She did not show off her identity at all.
It was only when it was revealed that she had met Jiang An that a few reporters recalled the news from Country F a long time ago that they proved Sophie’s identity.
The identity of a royal princess was already attractive enough. After all, there were not many countries with royalty now. Moreover, Sophie came from a country with real power in the royal family. This was really new to the public.
They hoped to know more to satisfy their curiosity.
Coincidentally, Sophie wanted to hold a public charity event with the Jiang family. Of course, the major media outlets would not miss this opportunity. They had to get firsthand information.
As for the Jiang family’s conditions that could be said to be overprotective, the reporters could understand. After all, Sophie’s identity was very special. If anything happened on Chinese soil, it would be a diplomatic accident.
In the distant Country F, there was also a group of people paying attention to this matter, which was the other members of the royal family.
Princess Annie had already fallen out with her brothers. Now, the throne was like a carrot hanging in front of them. Everyone wanted to rush over and take a bite, but before that, they had to get rid of the people who were snatching the carrot.
Hearing that Sophie was on good terms with the Jiang family, Annie smiled even in her dreams. All she had to do was wait to get in touch with her daughter.
The second prince, Henry, and the third prince, John, were furious when they found out. They did not expect there to be such a method.
“Annie is really smart. She sent the child out long ago to contact other forces. We’re still foolishly arguing in the country.” Henry slammed the table.
John snorted. “It doesn’t matter even if we’re on good terms with the Jiang family. After all, China doesn’t border our country. It’s better to maintain a good relationship with the other neighboring countries.”
“Easy for you to say. There are already people in the army who openly oppose this approach. We have to be careful if we don’t want to fall out with the army.” Henry rolled his eyes at his brother.
John was incredulous. “The army is loyal to the royal family. How dare they do that?”
Henry really could not stand his brother’s stupidity. “The army is loyal to the king. If Father is dead, then they should be loyal to the crown prince. We have never been the subject of their loyalty.”
“George has already declared that he has given up his status as the crown prince, so he should be loyal to us, the heirs to the throne!” John’s voice was loud and clear.
He really thought so. If the crown prince who had been conferred the title said that he was done, then the army should be loyal to them. They actually dared to raise objections. If he became the king, he would definitely deal with these people.
As Henry mocked John in his heart, he was glad that he was like this. If he used him to deal with Anne’s throne, it would definitely be his.
But what John said made sense. The army was getting more and more powerful. They had to guard against it.
“This isn’t the most urgent matter. We have to deal with Sophie first. We can’t let her contact more forces in China,” Henry said.
John’s expression was solemn. “The power of the Jiang family of Xiyun can’t be underestimated. Over the years, their business dealings have spread throughout the various countries. They even have business in the most remote countries. It won’t be easy for us to resolve this matter.”
“The most difficult thing to do is to stop Sophie, but at the same time, we can’t offend the Jiang family. Otherwise, the consequences are not something we can bear.” Henry also sighed.
John suddenly had an idea. He looked up and said, “Why don’t we just send someone to kill Sophie? If she dies, the Jiang family won’t be able to support Annie. That way, we won’t have anything to worry about.”
Henry was silent after hearing this. Although this move was too vicious, it was indeed the best solution..
