Chapter 291: [Bonus Chapter]Part Of The Deal

"What do you plan on doing once you find them?"

"You know it well."

"Think before acting," Drayce warned. "Though I am not clear why you are adamant on sentencing them to death, let me tell you I don’t support you taking the life of innocent people."

Arlan raised a brow at his solemn-looking friend. "No one is innocent, Dray. everyone will get punished for the wrong they have done."

"I will give you the benefit of the doubt."

Arlan didn’t comment on it. "For now, it is imperative I find them before my father does. It is quite difficult, since my brother-in-law holds the core clues to their whereabouts, and he is more loyal to the King than to the Crown Prince."

Drayce merely shrugged. "If you are leaving the palace grounds, be careful. Last time, a wizard was following you."

Arlan smirked. "Now they have more reason to follow me."

"Don’t tell me, did you do something reckless intentionally?"

"I believe they might fancy the blood stained handkerchief I dropped near the corpse of that wizard you speak of."

Drayce narrowed his eyes on him. "I thought you wish to live as a human. Have you changed your mind about revealing yourself?"

"More like a warning for them to not mess with me and my people. They should not take me lightly just because they think I am a human."

Drayce studied his friend’s expression. In the end, he could only sigh.

"As you feel right. I will be on my way," Drayce said as he retreated to his carriage.

Arlan didn’t return to the mansion and went straight outside of the royal palace. The news from Alexander was more important than anything else.

—--

At the guest mansion of Griven, only the palace officials returned in their carriages. One of the knights escorting them informed Oriana and the rest that the prince had left the palace for some important work.

Oriana, who was present outside to welcome the prince, felt puzzled. ’He always returns to the mansion before going anywhere. Is there an urgent problem he needs to solve?’

Since their master was not returning yet, Oriana thought it was an opportune time to deal with her personal matters. She first talked to Neil about what other tasks she needed to do in relation to the royal ball in two days, and then afterwards, she made a gesture that seemed like she recalled an important matter.

"Which reminds me, Neil, I have to make a quick run to the mansion next to us. I promise it won’t take long. I only need to deliver the medicine I made for Queen Seren and leave some instructions to her servants."

"Alright. Return soon."

"Yes. I will," she said. She hurried to her room in the servant quarters, making an effort to bring some of the supplements she had created in the past, before heading to the other kingdom’s delegation.
