Weakest Prince

30

"Do you admit it, Prince Mathias?" Queen Olivia unfavorably looked at Mathias. Princess Stacy and Butler Edward felt everything was unfair.

Although Prince Mathias's importance doesn't matter, he had already been beaten and taught a lesson by Prince Lance. It's probably enough.

The Queen still knew that Mathias was being picked on by his siblings anyway.

It wasn't worth punishing him more when Princess Stacy, who was a bit important, was involved and on Mathias's side.

It would be troublesome to deal with Stacy when she felt injustice and that would turn her opinion of the royal family in a bad way, leading to conflict in the future.

It simply wasn't worth it, so she just wanted Mathias to admit his mistakes and seemingly show mercy by letting this matter slide, as if he was the one at fault, while Prince Lance got off scot-free without punishment for beating a prince.

Her reputation for being merciful would also increase her image as a good queen among both commoners and nobles, albeit only a little bit.

"Admit what, beautiful queen?" Mathias asked, pretending not to know, but his voice had a flirting tone.

Simp points 0.70 +

Wow... I received more than usual? Mathias ignored the changing atmosphere and thought in surprise.

[Host, you will receive more points by simping despite the unfavorable situation or without caring for a beauty's opinion.]

Mathias learned more and more about his system from the current events.

Has his mind turned to mush from the beating? Prince Lance thought schadenfreudly.

Queen Olivia frowned at Mathias but let it go, as Mathias had said she was beautiful, which was true.

Queen Olivia ignored Mathias's disrespect this time and asked again, "Do you admit to their accusation?"

"What accusation?" Mathias asked, turning to his siblings and pretending to be dumb.

Prince Lance was speechless and repeated his accusation from earlier.

"Did I molest her?" Mathias glanced at Princess Stella with a questioning look.

"That's what everyone has witnessed, Prince," Queen Olivia disregarded Princess Stacy and Butler Edward's opinions and said indifferently.

"Oh... If you say so," Mathias nodded innocently, as if he had just learned everything now and said in a tone as if he had forgotten what happened earlier and was reluctantly agreeing to their accusation towards him.

Everyone was speechless.

They didn't know if Mathias was really dumb or pretending to be dumb, but if he was pretending, it worked, as Prince Lance, Princess Stella, Prince Ren, and the Queen all felt their conscience being challenged by Mathias right now.
