Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

"Please tell Crown Prince Felix that I must see him, I have something very important to discuss with him."

"Prime Minister Charles, you must go back, please. Crown Prince Felix won't see you. There are far too many people watching the mansion and it's for the best that you leave now." The more Charles insisted, the more frustrated the steward became. Were Charles still in his venerable role as he used to be, he would have never dared to speak to him in such a way, but Felix himself had said that the Chu Clan was finished now. There was no need to be respectful to someone as disgraced as that.

The gate remained closed in front of him, and Charles was unsure as to whether he should leave or stay. He was convinced that Felix would still meet him, but it looked like he was truly being turned away. He was now shut out, and left abandoned outside.

Charles stood there for a moment longer, and finally he resolutely turned and strode away. Very well; if Felix wasn't going to meet with him, then he saw no reason to continue to align himself with him or pledge loyalties t

a message to the empress, instructing her to pass his instruction to Charles through Katrina. The plan was to arrange for his men to become spies for the imperial examination. Most of the Cabinet officials had already decided their loyalties, after all. If he was trying to build strength and gather his own forces, he would have to begin right at that examination. But because he didn't have leverage over anyone in the examination committee, the plan was difficult to carry out. However, now that Charles was the chief examiner, it would seem that fortune was on his side.

Felix was well aware that he had to keep his distance from Charles in order to avoid arousing suspicion, and this was why Katrina had to deliver the message for him. But he was unaware that Katrina, bearing a grudge against him and the empress, was now the last person who would want to aid him. The emperor, pleased with Charles' behavior, decided to take pity on Katrina's troubles and took steps to give her restitution. He spent the night with her more frequently now, making Katrina the envy of all.
