During Kiev's brief visit to Ardel, the prince didn't show much expression, and Kaizer did notice that he abruptly left after speaking with Nessica, Anna's nanny. The prince didn't even glance at his sick betrothed and was not seen until now.
It was assumed that he had lost interest in the marriage, prompting Kaizer to carry out his rebellious plan to seize the throne by eliminating all his enemies.

Kaizer held his breath. He already knew why this person came; fortunately, he had made up a good excuse for that.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. The princess has died," he replied.
A crease formed on Kiev's forehead as he heard the king's reply, tainting his alluring good looks. His mesmerising red ruby eyes glared at Kaizer persistently.
"How come? What happened to her?" he asked.
