Everyone looked at the captives.... and sighed.

Sure enough, they were just spoiled brats.

And judging from the way they talked amongst themselves, one could tell that these princes were extremely stubborn, as they didn't even listen or wait for an explanation to their questions.

Instead, they were confident that they had come up with the right theory as to why they had been taken away from the Capital..... without even conforming their suspicions first.

They were really something else.

Landon looked at them and sighed as well.

Apparently, these were Penelope's brothers... the 1st Prince Robert, the 2nd Prince Asher, the and 3rd Prince Neeson.

And why had they been tied up and sent to Landon?

Well, that had to do with their obsession with the throne.

From what he had read, ever since Penelope became ruler of Carona..... these brothers had been constantly targeting her everywhere she went.

After Penelope's coronation years ago, Carmelo had posted these brothers to towns located on the outskirts of the empire.

They were to look after these towns and in a way, act like the town leader or Chief who would report all political decisions to Penelope.

But how could they be pleased with just governing a mere town?

They also added new tax laws in their towns, and forcefully took the people's grains and other food as well.

But unbeknownst to them, Carmelo posted them there so as to test them.

So when he and Adrian heard of all that they had been doing, they had been utterly disappointed and immediately stripped them of that position.

For sure, even at that... these brothers didn't stop causing havoc or targeting their sister whenever they had the chance to do so.

They had even tried communicating with Nopline and other very powerful men and had asked for their help in aiding their sister step down from the throne.

The good thing was that they had never wanted their sister killed.

They just wanted to destroy here forces and make her step down

This alone showed that they weren't all that bad, compared to his own siblings who all wanted him dead instead.
