Chapter 184: The Supporter of the Prince

Somewhere in Lonyth

"The Count survived?" Ena Thun frowned when she read the news that the Prince sent. "How is that possible?" She used her lightning to burn the small piece of parchment paper before giving the messenger bird back to its handler. She then got up from her chair and walked towards the large map that she asked someone to draw on the wall.

It was the map of the North.

On it were three kingdoms. Wugary, Lonyth, and Cirid.

There were marks on the map, locations important locations.

"Yes, your Blessedness. It seems that the Duke of the North intervened," Ena's trusted person, Jordin spoke. She lowered her head and avoided Ena's gaze.

"Lucas?" Ena lifted an eyebrow. "Again?" The man had already created problems for the Duke of Lonyth and now, he chose to interfere in matters that did not concern him? What was he doing?

The Duke never did anything without reason. His main priority had always been defending the North from the monsters, he hated politics and anything that did not involve those beasts.

It was unlike him to get entangled with that woman from the Lux Family, and now, the Duke was clearly taking his time traveling back to his territory. Wasn't he worried about his people when he was not there?

"I also received some reports that someone on the Duke's side must have used something to heal the curse." Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"Was it sorcery?" Ena asked.

"We could not confirm the matter. The Duke did not reveal anything and disrespected the Prince. Now, Prince Baltazar wants us to do something about the Duke."

Ena snorted, the Duke was never a priority simply because of various reasons. Firstly, she did not have anyone that could fight against the Rothley Family. She could perhaps do it, but she did not have an idea how strong the Wugarians actually were. The Rothley Family was not something to trifle with.

Secondly, she had no energy to deal with that annoying Duke. Everyone knew that the Duke of Wugari was very capable of annoying people. Wasn't this the reason why many people from the South hated them? Not only were they good with their swords, but they were also good at annoying people with their tongues.

As someone who held the power of lightning, Ena was aware that her temper would be a barrier if she wanted to confront the Duke. She did not want a fight to erupt and compromise their plans.

Again she clicked her tongue.

Her eyes narrowed to the small territory of the Count. It was located on the border between Wugari and Lonyth and the place was crucial for military strategies in case a war broke out. If they wanted to take the Lonyth Kingdom from the current Monarch, they needed to secure the Count's territory so they could fight the reinforcements that the Wugarians would send to Lonyth.

The Count's territory is vital to their plans.

No.

They will find nothing that would deem him worthy to become friends with the Duke.

This will then make them confused.

In summary, the Duke was only using him to mask his actual intentions.

"I have chosen the right man," the Duke's lips lifted into a smirk.

"It is an honor."

"It seems that the Prince wanted to take over the estate. The woman that you married is nothing but a nuisance and is trying to bite off more than she can chew."

"I will take care of it, Your Grace."

"Good."

"As for the Prince you were right. I stumbled upon a piece of information about him. It seems that they want me dead because they suspect I know about his secrets."

"Secrets?"

"Many Unbelievers are disappearing day by day. I believe that the ones taking them are the Prince and whoever it is that is supporting him."

"Oh?"

"They carefully chose their targets, choosing beggars and orphans or travelers. Moreover, it seems that the Prince just started doing this. This is why we have not heard more about it.

....

I don't know anything about the event yet. The staff is not very detailed about it. But she said it will be big? So.... I don't think I can sleep until then. lol

She said that the event will happen on the 16th of Feb.

Also, Happy Valentines day! I bought 2 types of cake for myself today. Chocolate and mango cakes!
