Didn't Plan to Become a Companion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 130

The moment Ricardo appeared, the High Priest was the first to reveal himself in the antechamber. Having been confined solely to the prayer room all this time, his face was deathly pale. Seeing this, Ricardo gave a cold, sardonic smile.

“Now you finally seem prepared to properly carry out the will of the gods.”

Though Ricardo mocked him with a twisted tone, the High Priest could not utter a single word in reply.

Yet one thing puzzled him: why had Ricardo deliberately reinstated him to the position of Crown Prince?

Stuart vaguely assumed it was simply to prevent Harriet from exercising authority as Crown Prince.
