Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Kevin tilted his head to look at Matthew, whose expression was detached. He knew that that he had a promise from Matthew, and Matthew would keep his word. Although he didn't know what Howard had done to make Matthew so angry that he wanted Howard dead, all he needed to do was obey.

Before long, the person who had been sent to Kevin's mansion to take the evidence came back with a stack of letters between Kevin and his associates, including some written by Howard himself.

"Howard, do you have anything else to say?" Walden asked. He looked at the evidence on the table and knew that Howard had committed a capital crime.

"He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick. I have nothing to say. But I won't admit my guilt!" Howard said through gritted teeth.

"The evidence is irrefutable. You have no choice but to admit your guilt!" Maxwell reprimanded. He turned to Walden. "Your Highness, the evidence is conclusive. Howard Chu colluded with Prince Kevin to plot a rebellion. You have sound human testimony and material evidence. Please declare him guilty."

Walden took a deep breath and said, "Howard Chu colluded with Uncle Kevin in an attempt to rebel. The evidence is conclusive. Return him to jail. I will deal with him after I report to my father."

"Your Highness, you are young and full of promise. I'm impressed. Since the matter has been settled, I'm leaving now," said Franklin, standing up.

"I will take my leave too." Maxwell left swaggeringly. Seeing his smug face, Walden gritted his teeth in anger and thought to himself, 'Why don't you show

kill him. I really don't understand why he did this," the emperor said ruefully.

"Your Majesty, treason is unforgivable, but you are a benevolent emperor who has no wish to kill innocent people. Please spare Prince Kevin's children." Franklin pretended to be benevolent. How could the emperor spare Kevin's children? They had already been killed.

"I really cannot bear to kill him."

"Your Majesty, rebellion is the ultimate crime. Prince Kevin's execution must serve as a warning; otherwise the other princes will think that they won't receive severe punishments if they rebel. Your reputation would be damaged. Therefore, Prince Kevin must receive capital punishment." Franklin didn't aim at Kevin. The truth was that there were a lot of princes in the Bright Dynasty. If the emperor forgave Kevin for his rebellion, other restless and ambitious princes would make trouble.

The emperor certainly knew he had no choice with regard to Kevin's fate. Kevin must die. Franklin knew what was on his mind and decided to be the one to let the axe fall. In this way, others wouldn't say that the emperor was cruel.

"Kevin is sentenced to death, but he's my brother. I want him to have a quick death," the emperor said after a long pause. "Franklin, I'll leave it up to you. As for his children, I will spare any of them who are still alive."

"How merciful you are."

The emperor waved his hand, and Franklin bowed and left. Kevin's case was finally settled, but Howard's fate was still uncertain. If the information he had was true, someone was ready to save Howard at all costs.
