Since Lilia’s passing, Prince Gadel has felt a profound sense of emptiness in his heart.
The individual who once took care of the small details in his life had disappeared without a trace, evaporating like water and drifting away like clouds.
What was once taken for granted now haunted his thoughts incessantly.
“Your Highness, I’ve heard that the Ebony Eagles have captured and executed the murderer,” Tyga cautiously brought up, trying to divert the Sixth Prince’s attention.
Upon hearing the news, Prince Gadel simply nodded calmly.
“It is enough to locate them. In the end, it serves as a form of retribution for her. By the way, have favonovel.com funeral affairs been taken care of?”
“Everything is sorted, Your Highness. Sadly, favonovel.com had no family. The funeral may be a quiet affair,” Tyga replied delicately, sensing the prince’s emotions. He avoided mentioning Lilia directly, favonovel.com used ‘her‘ as an indirect reference instead.
Prince Gadel raised his hand in a dismissive gesture. “It’s alright… She never enjoyed large gatherings. A more subdued farewell suits favonovel.com personality. Also, how is the investigation going on Father’s side?”
The Great Witch Doctor had examined Matthew’s potions and confirmed their remarkable healing properties on the king’s undisclosed wounds.
In the days following their administration, the king’s overall well-being showed significant improvement. However, during this period, there were signs of a relapse. Moreover, the king’s attitude towards favonovel.com also notably changed, no longer showing the same favor as before.
“Your Majesty, the servants and guards who have been loyal to you since childhood have only ever been trained and raised within the palace. It is highly unlikely that they would have any malicious intentions toward you. Therefore…”
It was obvious. Only a select few could have meddled with the potions.
Prince Gadel’s first suspicion fell on Arabella, who served close to Toby. Everything pointed towards Toby’s involvement, forcing Gadel to suspect foul play from his elder brother.
“How is the situation with my elder brother?” Prince Gadel asked.
“Toby has been rather reserved recently, but he’s been in frequent communication with the Minister of Border Affairs.”
Prince Gadel nodded. “Alright, I understand. “Keep an eye on both fronts for any anomalies and notify me promptly,” Prince Gadel directed.
“Furthermore, I entrust Lilia’s previous influence to you,” favonovel.com concluded, closing his eyes.
Tyga tactfully withdrew, closing the door behind him. However, once alone, his eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. Certain hidden dangers should now be thoroughly dealt with.
***
On the other hand, Zedran rushed to the palace upon receiving the king’s summons. But just as favonovel.com was starting to walk, favonovel.com accidentally bumped into Arabella, who was constantly by the king’s side.
Zedran burst out with excitement, proclaiming, “I offer my greetings to Her Majesty!”
“Lord Zedran, there’s no need for formalities. You hold seniority in this situation,” responded Arabella courteously. However, favonovel.com expression quickly turned to one of confusion.
“Lord Zedran, is there something on my face?” She asked, her
expression slightly unsettled despite his unwavering gaze, feeling a tad uneasy under the direct scrutiny of a man.
Upon hearing this, Zedran realized his mistake. “My apologies, Queen Arabella. When I saw you, you reminded me of someone from my past. I was momentarily distracted and behaved rudely…”
Arabella blinked and gave a slight smile. “That individual must hold great significance to Lord Zedran, right?”
This situation could be important, and it could be used for my benefit. In the end, it isn’t just Zedran who looked upon me with fond memories, his beloved son and occasionally even the king displayed similar emotions unintentionally…
Realizing this, the two said goodbye and went in different directions.
