"Father Emperor, what do you want from me?" Crown Prince Wilhelm said with a smile on his face.
After Oscar was assassinated, his mood improved a lot. Although, he was somewhat regretful that he could not kill Oscar in one fell swoop. But he believes that there will be opportunities in the future. After all, Oscar's luck can't always be so good.
As for the situation this time, he also believed that it would not be traced to him. After all, this was not his direct instruction. Even if Friedrich? Franz III is traced, he will not be exposed.
"Prince, do you know about Oskar?" Wilhelm II asked coldly.
"Father Emperor, after I heard the news of Oskar's assassination, I was very sad. The murderer was so abominable. He dared to assassinate an important member of the royal family. It was a heinous crime. Father Emperor can totally sentence him to death and avenge Oskar!" Crown Prince Wilhelm looked like he was suffering from great hatred.
Wilhelm II couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this situation. He knew that Crown Prince Wilhelm was not going to admit it.
"Prince, do you know who is the real mastermind?" Wilhelm II asked.
"Who is behind the scenes? Could it be Oskar's competitors? After all, Oskar owns many companies, so it is understandable that it will offend some competitors." Crown Prince Wilhelm pretended to be dumbfounded. Anyway, he was determined not to admit that he was the one who ordered this assassination. He's not a fool. If a Crown Prince really does such a thing, according to the law, it is entirely possible that he will be stripped of his right to inherit the throne. Everything Crown Prince Wilhelm did was to preserve his right to inherit the throne, which was undoubtedly the most important thing to him.
"Prince, according to what we have learned, the killer was sent by Friedrich? Franz III. Do you have anything to say about this?" Wilhelm II asked.
Crown Prince Wilhelm's eyes suddenly flashed with panic. He did not expect that in such a short period of time, he would have traced Friedrich? Franz III. Doesn't this mean that Wilhelm II already knows the truth about the entire assassination incident?
"What should I do? Father Emperor already knows, what should I do? Should I confess to him? What will he think of me? Will my right to inherit the throne be lost because of this?" Crown Prince Wilhelm became a little flustered.
However, he then made up his mind that he would never admit it. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable. Anyway, as long as he insists that he has no knowledge of this matter and puts everything on Friedrich? Franz III, then there will be no problem.
"Father Emperor, could this be a misunderstanding? How could Archduke Franz III do such a thing? I think there must be some misunderstanding." Crown Prince Wilhelm said.
Wilhelm II looked at Crown Prince Wilhelm and couldn't help but become a little disappointed.
"Prince, you really disappoint me. At this time, are you still unwilling to admit it? The assassin who assassinated Oskar was clearly the one who ordered Friedrich? Franz III to do it." Wilhelm II looked angry.
"Father Emperor, no, I don't know about this, it has nothing to do with me!" Crown Prince Wilhelm immediately denied it.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat solidified. Wilhelm II believed that Crown Prince Wilhelm was the mastermind behind it, but Crown Prince Wilhelm denied it. Although, Wilhelm II knew that his guess was correct. If Friedrich? Franz III were to be arrested and interrogated, he would definitely get the result he wanted. However, the whole world knows that it will cause trouble. This will undoubtedly make German Empire and Hohenzollern family the laughingstock of the world. And this is undoubtedly something Wilhelm II doesn't want to see.
After a while, Wilhelm II said, "Prince, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I think we all know what this is all about. In order to maintain the image of the royal family and ensure the peace of Germany, I don't plan to pursue it any further."
Hearing Wilhelm II say this, Crown Prince Wilhelm breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he made the right bet.
"Starting from tomorrow, you can move to Potsdam's palace! You are not allowed to leave there without my order!" Wilhelm II continued.
Crown Prince Wilhelm Suddenly felt a basin of cold water pouring down from his head, freezing his heart.
"Father Emperor, are you going to put me under house arrest? No, you can't do this. You can't deprive me of my freedom. I am Crown Prince of the German Empire!" Crown Prince Wilhelm yelled.
"You should reflect on it there, and when I think you have truly reflected on it, I will let you return to Berlin. During this period, your position as Crown Prince will not be taken away, and no one will announce it to the outside world." Wilhelm II said.
"No, Father Emperor, you can't do this to me. I am your favorite son!" Crown Prince Wilhelm begged.
However, Wilhelm II was unmoved. This time, Crown Prince Wilhelm really disappointed him.
"Essen, send Crown Prince back!" Wilhelm II ordered with a cold face.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Essen? Feng? Jonath nodded.
Immediately, two palace guards took Crown Prince Wilhelm away from Wilhelm II's office. During this time, Crown Prince Wilhelm was yelling like a rascal. But even so, it cannot change Wilhelm II's decision.
When Oscar got the news in the hospital, he felt much happier. It seemed as if his wounds didn't hurt that much anymore.
"Your Highness, congratulations. Although Your Majesty has not abolished Crown Prince Wilhelm's right to inherit the throne. However, this undoubtedly shows that Your Majesty's patience has reached its limit." Karl? Feng? Jonath said with a smile on his face.
Oscar shook his head. "This is not what I want. For this, I almost lost my life!"
If he was asked to sacrifice his own life in exchange for the right to inherit the throne, Oscar would not be willing to do so. If your life is gone, even if you have the right to inherit, what will happen?
However, what happened this time also made Oscar see clearly the bloodiness in the royal family. For the sake of the succession to the throne, brothers will also turn against each other. They may even kill each other. Oscar, who was born in the East, has a deeper understanding of this. After all, among the Eastern royal families, the fight for the throne is more bloody than this.
"The throne is filled with blood. If you are not ruthless, you cannot be the emperor at all. This is the same no matter whether you are West or not. Next time, I will never be ruthless or soft-handed, and I will never let others point a gun at me again!" Oscar secretly made up his mind.
