"It goes without saying I feel sorry for him."
Veronica put some scrambled eggs on Mateo's plate. "Eat more, or you'll get hungry later."
"Hehehe! Roni is the best." Eggs were all it took to make the man happy.
On the other hand, Crayson was eating with a serious expression, eating congee with pickles. After chewing his food, he asked, "Have you all heard about Zac's situation?"
He first looked at Veronica, then looked meaningfully at Matthew, implying something.
Destiny shook her head and sighed. "This is a serious matter. After all, Zac is the prince of Castron. I can't believe Xavier dared to make a move against him. I'm afraid it's over for him."
Veronica lowered her eyelids and absentmindedly ate her serving of food, casually saying, "I heard about it."
"Ron's husband's death is closely related to Xavier. He was arrested and got what he deserved."
Confused, Mateo expressed his thoughts as well. "Karma."
"Although it happened in the hidden clan's territory, Zac is Castron's prince. He has a noble status. I want all of you to stay away from him. It's best not to get involved, lest you get into trouble."
Crayson's words were clear in intention, warning the younger ones.
Matthew didn't respond, and Veronica hummed in return, but Mateo, who was in the dark, smiled happily and said, "Isn't it best to sit back and watch the tigers fight? That way, we won't be hurt."
"Speak less and eat!" Crayson glanced at him. "You're an adult now, so act like one."
Everyone fell silent and ate breakfast quietly.
After the meal, the servants came to clean up the dishes. Veronica turned to Matthew. "Hey, Iron Pillar, let's go to the foot of the mountain to do some shopping."
"Roni, I'll go with you." Mateo walked briskly to Veronica. "Iron Pillar is busy. It's better not to disturb him."
