Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 2191 The Sly Danrique Part Two

“What?” The shock made Francesca’s heart lurch. He’s kidding, right? Is he really doing this? “Yes, sir!” Gordon’s

response was quick as he grabbed the fruit knife on the table and stabbed it toward himself.

“Stop, stop, stop!” Federico cried out, nearly falling off the couch in his haste. The two bodyguards at the back

promptly stopped Gordon as well.

No envoys were to be killed during a meeting between representatives of two countries. If something were to

happen to Gordon in his palace, things would go south in no time.

“Danrique, what are you doing?” Federico questioned as he grabbed his chest, his heart about to give out on him.

“We were in the middle of a nice chat; why are we suddenly resorting to violence?”

“Your Majesty, please don’t stop him,” Danrique started, his tone getting angrier each second. “The Lindbergs are

strict with their household rules. Those who go against their master’s intentions and act rashly only have death

waiting for them. That was what my aunt did to me as well.”

“But…”

Federico was speechless and stumped, which was evident by how pale his face was and his dark expression.

He knew without a doubt that Danrique was telling him that death was the punishment for people who acted

without permission in the Lindberg family. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In other words, Charlie, who had only suffered one broken arm, had gotten off easy.

Although Gordon was only one of Danrique’s subordinates, everyone knew that he was someone important—

Danrique’s right-hand man.

Even if Charlie did not need to be punished with death, his current punishment was not enough to compensate for

the mistake he had made.

Danrique’s consecutive attacks brought Federico to his wits’ end.

After all, Danrique had just criticized the Danontand royal family’s teachings.

Danrique was not going to let the matter slide until Federico did something about it.

With that thought in mind, Federico smacked the table and hissed, “That b*stard Charlie’s too much! Not only did he

fail to do that one job he was tasked with, but he even accidentally hurt Danrique’s fiancée. Heed my order: Lock

him up in the dungeon right away!”

“Your Majesty…” the princes behind the king began, hoping to plead for mercy on behalf of Charlie.

“Shut up, all of you!” Federico snapped. “Anyone who pleads for him will be thrown into the dungeon too.”

Upon hearing that, no one dared to utter anything else. Fear was written all over their faces.

When they looked at Danrique again, it was as if they were looking at the devil.

Meanwhile, Berthold had another emotion in his eyes other than fear, and it was admiration.

“What are you waiting for?” Federico snarled.

“Yes, sir!” Silas immediately sent his men to work on it.

Soon, Charlie’s screech came from the outside. “Your Majesty, why are you sending me to the dungeon? Your

Majesty! Your Majesty, I won’t accept this! Your Majesty—”

Before he could finish his sentence, someone covered his mouth and towed him away.

Monica, who was outside and had heard Charlie’s shouts, was even more taken aback than those inside the room.

She had not known Danrique’s charm previously, but now, she finally witnessed it.

This is marvelous!

Francesca was completely dumbstruck as her eyes flitted toward the outside of the window before looking at the

king and Danrique.

“Danrique, is this to your satisfaction?” Federico asked with a half-smile.

Danrique sighed and muttered, “Your Majesty, why did you have to do this? Gordon’s just a subordinate, and it’s my

duty to give him a stern lesson. On the other hand, Prince Charlie is your grandson. You could have just given him a

scolding. Did you have to punish him so severely? Horrible criminals are locked up in that dungeon. He’s going to be

traumatized after a few days, and if he’s locked up there for a month, he’ll surely end up dead…”

Francesca’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Did I hear him right? He was the one who subtly forced

Federico to punish Prince Charlie, but he’s saying this now? Looks like I really can’t simply make this guy mad from

now on. He’s unbelievably smart!

“He offended you, so naturally, he has to be punished severely for that.” The smile Federico had on his face was an

ugly one. “I’ll be sure to educate him well in the future and not let him make another mistake like this. I hope your

anger will dissipate after this.”
