NovelStartChapter 1584: I'm Sorry, Father
When Rowan heard this, his expression was calm and his heart was tranquil. He had no interest in the royal inheritance rights.
However, he cared about the whereabouts of his sister Princess Annie... She had been missing for so many years, where was she?
Was she dead or alive?
The king's gaze fell on Rowan, his eyes a bit stern and cold, staring at him steadily and somewhat annoyed by his expression.
Everyone was waiting for the king's response.
"Yes," the king's voice was cold as he said, "If Prince Louis insists on giving up the right of succession, Princess Annie would
becthe first heir. If Princess Annie gave it up too, then Prince Taylor would becthe first heir."
What was this about?
Katharine almost wanted to curse!
So it seemed Taylor was third in line?
Princess Annie? Everyone looked at each other, whispering about this person that most had forgotten existed. Princess Annie

eventually passing away from grief.
Louis had been found after leaving the royal family for years, what if this Princess Annie cback one day too!
Then Taylor's position would becmore uncertain.
This made Katharine, as the mother, feel uneasy, as if she had been hit on the head!
The king was in poor health and could not sit for long. He had summoned everyone today and announced what needed to be
announced.
So the king looked around at everyone and spoke again, "You're all dismissed, go take care of your duties. Louis, you stay,
everyone else leave."
Katharine wanted to speak but held back, as everyone else bowed and began heading out.
Katharine and Taylor deliberately glanced at Rowan before leaving, remembering the face of this number one enemy.
Eden noticed the expressions of this mother and son. After everyone left, he and Arthur also stepped out.
The palace doors closed. The spacious hall was left with only King Bertie and the father and son Rowan.
Bertie sat in the chair, his expression still stern as he stared at the paternity test report in his hand. The next second, he tore the
report into pieces, "I'm sorry, | just wanted everyone to be convinced, after all you've been gone so long."
In fact, he recognized his son.
Likewise, Rowan could recognize his father at first glance. The king looked the sas when he was young, only much older now.
The king tore up the paternity test results, stood up, and flung the pieces upwards. The fragments drifted down like snowflakes
onto Rowan's hair and shoulders.
The air was suddenly filled with grief.
Rowan's legs weakened and he knelt before the king, "I'm sorry, Father, for worrying you all these years." He deeply blamed
himself.
"You're too willful!" The king loved, pained and pitied him, "How could you be so heartless as to disappear for so many years?"
"I hated the royal disputes, | wanted an ordinary life," Rowan said softly.

"An ordinary life where you didn't even want your father?" The king was nearly angered to death. His cold eyes stared at him, his
face even twitching in pain.
"..." He had no words.
"If your uncle hadn't found your whereabouts, were you planning on not even attending my funeral?!"
The king was extremely heartbroken. "lI remarried, but it was five years after your mother passed away! I'm a man, you should
have..."
"I can understand that." Rowan looked up and sincerely interrupted him, "Please don't blyourself for this anymore. Your
happiness is certainly my wish."
"Louis..."
The king didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't accept his son disappearing for so many years. "l loved your mother, |
love you, | love Annie, but you've all left me... Did you ever think ofas a person of flesh and blood with feelings? Think of my
longing and missing on those long nights?"
Rowan had no rebuttal to his father's accusations. He hung his head, frowning, and also felt very bad inside.
