The eldest son is now 29 years old, the second son is now 18 years old, and the youngest daughter is 16 years old.
He originally had quite a few illegitimate children, but fearing that the queen would find out, he drove away all the pregnant maids. Now, it is unknown how many of those illegitimate children will survive.
Perhaps because he was about to die, the king was thinking too much and couldn't help but sigh.
"You'll be needed to maintain order then, but don't let your family get involved, or our son might be sidelined."
The old king earnestly admonished the queen, and the queen's originally listless expression suddenly turned serious.
The Queen's family is the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Gri. Through hundreds of years of business, they have developed a vast empire, making them a force that even the King must treat as equals.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot allow the other party to get involved in political affairs, otherwise the Principality of Gri will probably have to change its name soon.

"Protect my three children. If that woman makes any improper moves, kill her!"
The old king, who looked like he was about to die, finally revealed some of his kingly domineering nature, his cold voice like a piercing steel knife.
"yes!"
There was an audio response!
The king nodded: "Go down!"
As soon as those three words were uttered, the voice never rang out again.
But at the same time, someone knocked on the door.
The king checked the time and knew who had come.
His face showed a mixture of doting and helplessness. His youngest daughter had been making soup for him every day since she learned that he was unwell, and it was definitely her at this time.
The door opened, and sure enough, a beautiful young girl with shallow dimples on her cheeks carefully entered the room, carrying a bowl of freshly made soup.
