Chapter 566 A Bullied Young Wife (Part Two)

    Chapter 566 A Bullied Young Wife (Part Two)


    "I envy Lucas immensely," Francis said in a light voice that was just enough for everyone to hear. "He is


    healthy and carefree all the time, and Father dotes on him endlessly. He has lived the mostfortable


    life among us."


    Felix turned to look at Francis. Although thetter had taken some strides along the road to health, his


    face still looked somewhat morbidly pale. He looked like a bullied young wife because of his condition,


    without a trace of masculine spirit.


    "How are you getting along with Zack?" Felix asked tly. He had gone to Matthew''s mansion that


    morning to sound out Matthew''s opinion. But as soon as he arrived, he found that Francis was already


    there, which was quite awkward. After all, their father had already shown his desire for Francis to


    engage in politics, and Francis'' mother came from a powerful n. If Francis really stepped into the


    struggle for the throne, he would be a formidable opponent for him.


    "I enjoy ying the game of Go with him," Francis said. A smile quickly spread across his face.


    "Unfortunately, I''m no match for him. I''ve never won against him yet, not even once."


    Felix was dumbstruck. It was impossible for him to believe what Francis said. "Zack has been going to


    your mansion every day. ying the game of Go was the only thing he does with you?"


    "Yeah. Zack is really a master in doing that. I''ve been studying tactics with him because I am weak and


    have nothing better to do, but I''m still no match for him." Francis didn''t seem to feel any shame about


    being no match for Zack. Instead, Zack''s superiority in the game of Go just seemed to make Francis


    admire him all the more.


    Matthew drank his tea in silence. He was the sort of man who would never let his two nephews know


    that he had also been defeated by Zach in the game of Go. He regarded Zack as devious and cunning.


    Despite his gentle smile, he showed no mercy when he yed the game of Go. While chatting with him


    cordially, Zack set up traps on the board. That was how Matthew had lost the game.


    The steward came in and reported, "Your Highness, lunch is ready. Your Highnesses, pleasee to


    the dining hall for lunch."


    Matthew promptly stood up and strode towards the dining hall, trailed by Felix. Felix bumped into


    Francis intentionally. Without uttering a word, Francis followed them in the rear.


    Felix raised his eyes in disdain to see Francis'' reaction. Despite the high status and great power of his


    mother''s n, Francis was meek and totally without ambitions. He could neverpete in the great


    struggle for power at court.


    Felix had been quite wary of Francis at first, but after seeing his manners today, he began looking


    down on him. He always felt that Francis wascking in spirit. He had been sitting in a wheelchair since


    he was six years old. He had never even studied the national policies. Later, because of his poor


    health, their father only sent him a tutor to teach him to read, because an illiterate prince would bring


    shame to his country. Otherwise, he would likely have never learned to read.


    There were only three people in the dining room. Harper was absent, but Matthew immediately


    understood why she wasn''t there. "Let''s have lunch."


    "Uncle Matthew, why doesn''t Aunt Harpere to eat lunch?" Francis asked mildly.


    "She has already had lunch. You''d better eat quickly and go back soon." Matthew didn''t even bother to


    hide his wish to drive them away quickly. If Felix and Francis weren''t there now, he would have had


    Harper forpany at lunch instead.


    Francis just kept quiet and ate his meal with his head down. Felix''s visit was only to sound out


    Matthew''s attitude on him. Unexpectedly, he learned that Francis had no stomach for power struggles,


    so the biggest threat to him was still Matthew. There was no need for him to fear the weak Francis. All


    things considered, it seemed to Felix that he had better deal with Matthew first. His most immediateText content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    grudge against Matthew was his humiliation in seeing that the pearl he had given Harper as a gift was


    now hung on the neck of a dog.


    "Uncle Matthew, I''m done. Goodbye," Felix said after just a few bites. Since he no longer needed to


    sound out Matthew''s opinion, it was unnecessary for him to stay there, so he stood up and left.


    After Felix walked away, Francis continued eating his own food slowly. If possible, he would have


    preferred not to have lunch with Matthew. Matthew''s cold stare made delicious food as tasteless as


    wax.


    While taking his time to have his meal, Francis wondered how Harper could bear to live with Matthew.


    Didn''t she feel scared in front of his cold face every day? Or did Matthew have a totally different


    expression in front of Harper?


    Francis could not help but imagine that Matthew smiled like a fool in front of Harper. That image in his


    mind caused gooseflesh on his body. He peeped at Matthew, only to find that he was staring at him


    with icy persistence. Francis couldn''t resist pausing to touch his face, to check if he had rice on his


    face.


    "What''s wrong, Uncle Matthew?" Francis asked. As a good student, he had always asked questions


    when he didn''t know the answers.


    "Why are you still here?" Matthew asked with obvious discontent. He couldn''t understand why Francis


    had no sense. Felix had already gone, but Francis didn''t show the least intention of leaving.
