Time Travelling: My Love from the Royal Family

Suddenly, Hodge spoke, and his words were like an echo of Walden's own thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Milo, my little son, was in my master's mansion when the incident happened," Hodge said resentfully. "When the evildoers broke into my master's mansion, my son was playing hide-and-seek with my master's grandson. My son survived the slaughter only because he was hiding in an empty rice jar."

"Impossible!" Walden promptly denied it, but as soon as his words faded away, he realized that he should not have spoken. Immediately, everyone had their eyes fixed on him.

"Why do you deny this so emphatically, Your Highness?" Hodge asked, looking at Walden suspiciously.

"I mean, as you said, the attackers burnt Scott's mansion to ashes. If your son was inside the mansion, he would have been burnt to death as well. How could he still be alive?" Walden said calmly. He clung to this idea as if it were his

ing the truth. But what puzzled him was that if Walden was the one who had committed the murders and snatched the pills, why had the pills come from the hand of Felix?

Felix was uneasy too. Everyone knew that Walden was a member of his faction. If Walden were convicted of murder and robbery, in an instant Felix would lose all the emperor's trust that he had won with great effort. He looked to the empress for help. The empress shook her head furtively, hinting that he must calm down, and cast a glance at Walden.

Walden shot a sideways glance at Hodge and then knelt down. "Father, it's all my fault."

"Really? You committed this crime?" the emperor demanded furiously. Walden had committed several murders, stolen the valuable pills and committed arson to destroy the evidence. What a ruthless man he must be, far different from the man he pretended to be. It was very shocking to the emperor.
