“Two weeks at least? The longest being one year? What happened?”
Dustin was so stunned that he could barely react. There was a horrified look in his eyes.
Although he resented Rufus, he was still his father. When he heard that he didn’t have much time left, a wave of
panic suddenly washed through him.
With only a few family members left, he couldn’t imagine how he was supposed to face Rufus’ death if he was
gone.
“Is this news reliable?” Dustin asked in a hushed tone. He tried to keep his composure, yet his fists were clenched
tight under the table.
“Your Highness, not a lot of people are aware of it now, but it’s definitely true. Even if the prince doesn’t want me to
tell you, I thought you should have the right to know,” Rodrigo replied with his head hung low.
“The prince has always been healthy. Why did things suddenly turn out this way?”

Lucozia to prevent the savages from invading, but he still has to prevent internal conflicts from the court. He really
reached his limit!” Rodrigo exclaimed, his voice trembling.
As Rufus’ personal guard, he was well aware of the situation.
In the past, the Prince of West Lucozia was truly majestic and domineering. Even a slight move of his would have an
immense impact on the government.
Yet now, he was getting on in years and didn’t have much time left. It was certainly lamentable.
“Ah… it’s true that the prince really had too much on his shoulders throughout these years. He had the entire West
Lucozia on his back.
“It was nearly half of the territory of Dragonmarsh. Although he was unparalleled, things had really been too hard
on him,” Cinna sighed, his expression sullen.
“Did Rufus mention anything else?” Dustin suppressed his emotions, trying to make himself appear indifferent.
“The prince said if you feel tired or wronged, you can always go back. West Lucozia will always be your home!”
Rodrigo said in a trembling voice.
“Go back?” In a daze, Dustin stared at the teacup on the table as he continued, “It’s been so long. Maybe it’s about
time to go back to visit.”
“Great! I’ll arrange it immediately!”
Rodrigo was over the moon when Dustin agreed to go back.
Over the years, Rufus had been longing for his return. However, he showed no signs of returning due to the conflict
that happened between them years ago.
Of course, Rodrigo would be overjoyed when Dustin finally agreed to go back. After a decade, Rufus and Dustin
could finally reunite with each other.
“Don’t be in a hurry. I still have something to tend to. After three days, I’ll take my leave for West Lucozia,” Dustin
interrupted as he gestured to Rodrigo to return to his seat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Sure! As long as Your Highness is willing to go back, anytime is fine,” Rodrigo replied as he nodded repeatedly.
“Did the monarchy only send you to Osnal?” Dustin suddenly asked.
“No, A team of undercover agents tagged along as well.”
With a solemn expression, Rodrigo continued, “These are all extremely skilled agents trained by the monarchy.
Each member could take on an army.
“However, I disbanded them once we entered Osnal to avoid drawing any attention. If Your Highness would like to
meet them, I can get them now.”
“No need for the hassle. Since they’re undercover agents, just let them stay hidden,” Dustin replied, shaking his
head.
These undercover agents were truly exceptional. Not only did they possess skills and strategy, they were all
equipped with special abilities.
Be it gathering information or assassinating important figures, they had to rely on these agents.
A lot of these agents had to remain unknown for the rest of their lives as they could only live with fake identities.
Even after they died, they couldn’t receive the recognition they deserved.
