Chapter 440 438:Third Prince Or Princess

For the next few days after he met with Noah, Alex had been spending his time too quietly doing his things to the point that Riya and Zach were starting to get suspicious about him.

When Riya, conveyed all of this to the other four, a deep and heated discussion of guessing Alex's next move went on.

In the end, everyone arrived at the same thought.

Alex might be going to do something fishy after treating the First Prince.

There were still 25 days before the deadline and both Empires seemed to be a bit restless.

No one knows if the date would be changed as the call to send troops had already been made.

Contrary to what everyone thoughts, Alex was really cooking something.

Alex sat on the top of the bed and closed his eyes.

All sorts of information passed on to his mind and floated inside his head.

With the mark, Moss had started to lead him to the places he wanted to visit.

After travelling for many days, Moss entered a small area near a lake and after staying there for a few days, she started to head back.

'These people run away like stupid rats.'

Moss seemed to be frantically heading back towards her home.

Alex's lips curled upwards with a playful smile.

"It seems I can finally raid this place."

"Trashes, I am coming to dispose of all of you."

........

Alex and Riya under Noah's guidance sneaked into Royal Place smoothly.

It wasn't an official visit and since Alex wanted to stop his name from spreading far and wide, he needed to enter like a thief from a secret passage led by Wilford.

"Does Arkham have only three Princes?Is there really no princess?"

Wilford's steps halted and he gave Alex a sceptical look.

Alex raised his hand and spoke, "I was just curious about something."

"It's better if you keep your curiosity to yourself," Wilford spoke politely.

Alex had heard rumours that there was a Princess born to the Emperor but The Emperor Killed her due to his disliking for her.

Alex didn't know how much was true in this.

"Welcome, Alex!"

"Welcome Lady Riya!"

Noah greeted both of them.

Alex and Riya greeted them and then both of them bowed their heads and spoke.

"We greet The Imperial Majesty of Arkham."

As Alex bowed on one of his knees, he lifted his to catch the glance of the man.

Alex's eyes furrowed as he saw the man's appearance.

Vermouth Ark, the current Emperor of Arkham, had reached the Saint realm.

Since the people of Saint realm had a long life span, he should look quite young like a man in his prime.

But his appearance was quite bleak.

His face was haggard with a shabby bear. His hair was dishevelled and his eyes seemed to be tired which may close any moment.

"Are you thinking about my current appearance?"

Alex's body shook as the man noticed and he quickly refuted"I dare not His Highness."

"Sigh. It's okay."

"What good is to keep your external appearance when my Empire is falling."

"Noah informed me about your endeavour. Your help had been great but, regrettably, it was quite late. It can change many things if it came two months or a month ago. We are going to fight demons in the East and if we lose this….."

"This is our end."

Alex could hear a sense of helplessness in his voice. It wasn't just an act to draw his sympathy.

Alex stared at Noah 's eyes which were still burning with fire.

'He isn't going to back down easily.'

Alex raised his head and stared at Vermouth and said"This time it will be different, His Highness."

Vermouth narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"Why do you think that?"

"It's because this time I will be there with your troops."

The single sentence brought forward a heavy silence all around.

Even Riya looked at Alex with widened eyes.

Her man was too brazen.

If it was anyone else, Vermouth would have scoffed and ridiculed him but seeing the man's eyes with unshakable confidence, he didn't know why he felt he could trust this man.

With quivering lips, he spoke, "Please save my child."

"This is not an order from an Emperor but a sincere plea from a father."

"I can't promise anything but I will try my best."

"Noah, show him the way."

"Yes, Father."

​ Noah led Alex to his brother Nolan's room.

Alex observed the holy aura around the room and saw the priest guarding the place.

"The situation seems to be quite bad."

Noah didn't speak anything and was about to enter when he saw the door was opened slightly.

"Is someone inside?" He asked with a stern voice.

"It was strictly forbidden for anyone to enter so how dare you to neglect the orders," Noah shouted.

The guard's priests trembled and as Noah opened the door, Alex saw a lady squatting down near the bed with a teary face.

Alex didn't stare at the girl for long as his attention was drawn by the man whose body had become blue-black with veins bulging all around.

"Noah, ask that maid to leave."

"Ouch!"

Noah pinched Alex which surprised him.

"What the hell, I don't remember us being close enough to engage in friendly deeds."

"She is my sister."

Creak!

The lady on the chair stood up and stared at the people with an uneasy expression.

"Brother, they are?"

"Wasn't it said that Arkham doesn't have any Princess?" Riya asked with curiosity as if she found something to gossip about.

"The third Prince is my Sister Siena acting as Prince. An Oracle was saying that both Princes may lose their lives due to a disaster. To take precautions, father decided to ask her to pose as Prince but since everything seems meaningless now father wants her to lead her life as her true self."Noah explained without looking at Siena.

Siena's expression became frosty and she shouted startling everyone.

"Just what the hell is going on? Can someone explain to me?"

"Why have you led them here and how can you expose the secrets to the outsiders?"

Noah sighed and tried to calm her sister who erupted like a volcano.
