Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 797- Stealing the Air Engine

In this case, the first prince who was currently her biggest hurdle and the person who had the support of a duke and numerous other nobles.

"By now the news that I am alive should have reached Alstin. Has he already started making plans on how to deal with me?"

 Being one of the people who knew him the best, Cynthia knew that her brother wouldn't take the news of her being alive, lightly. She was sure that even at this moment, he was coming up with some unscrupulous plans to take her out of the succession battle.

"It is as Your Highness has said, the first prince is at this moment in a discussion with a couple of his selected subordinates. He is trying to come up with a way to falsify the report of your being alive to the nobles supporting him while at the same time hiring a group of assassins to take you out" Follow current novelenglish.net . s on novelenglish.net .

Cynthia already expected to hear something like this as such, Annette's words caused her expression to not falter at all.

"What should we do your highness? If we let that man be, who knows what kind of loathsome plans he would come up with the next time"

Alvara spoke out in concern. Her disregard of the first prince's status and her calling him 'that man' showed how much she hated him. After all, he was one of the main perpetrators who drove Cynthia to run away from the capital and into the depths of despair.

Other than that, he also tried to buy out her people. Alvara was also approached with such an offer, in fact, the prince even tried to put his hands on her body. It was not without any reason that she hated; no, loathed the first prince.

"You are right. I have tolerated him far too much since our childhood days. This caused him to become full of himself and think that he could just do anything he wants and get away with it. This time, I won't take it lying down. I'll make my move before he even has a chance to do anything"

"Alvara, Contact Blake, Wyot and the others. Tell them to prepare to march towards the Castledor city with an elite team. We will raid Castledor city and capture my brother"…

"Yes Your Highness" Alvara nodded her head and quickly went off to carry out her orders. This left only Cynthia and Annette inside the room.

"By the way, did he leave any instruction for me" It was pretty much clear who she was referring to with those words.

In response to her question, Annette smiled and shook her head "Master is very pleased by the results you have shown in the tower town and has asked us to protect you properly. He believes that if it's you, you will be able to complete your mission without him needing to give any instructions. Nevertheless, he asked us to tell you that, you can ask for his assistance anytime that you require his aid. Master will do everything in his power to aid you".

"I see… I must thank him for all that he did"…

 In fact, they even appear to be a little relaxed and the atmosphere was a light one. Looking at them, it wouldn't seem like they were at all concerned about entering a dangerous forest region.

Their attitude was more like they were out on a stroll in the park. And that was actually the case. The Northern Otulaw Forest might be dangerous; however, that was by the standards of an ordinary adventurers.

For Elites like them who were all high level and had years of experience under their belt, a place like the northern outlaw forest was nothing. If anything, they had already experienced, numerous life and death battles which was much more dangerous and worse than this place.

After all that, it would be strange on the contrary for them to be afraid of a place like the northern outlaw forest.

As the night had already fallen, Cynthia and her group were camping at the edges of the forest, near a small brook. Some were creating a fireplace, some setting up tents, while some went inside the forest to hunt monsters.

Every adventurer was doing something or the other.

"So this the place where Master camped all those years ago" Annette muttered as she took in the night view of the forest.

Even though this was her first time coming to such a place, she had already seen the adventures her master had gone through as such, she was already quite familiar with the place.

That said, this was still her first time experiencing something like this for herself and thus couldn't help but feel a tinge of excitement. The view, the air, the atmosphere and even the company, everything was new for her.

One of the goals that Simon had for sending his subordinates away from the dungeon and on a mission on their own, was for them to gain plenty of experiences and broaden their horizon.

Looking at Annette's current state, which was like a child curious about everything around her, it could be said that one of his goals was partially achieved.

There was no doubt that they had much more to learn and know about this world; nevertheless, the experience today would forever stay with them and become a part of their strength.

Whoosh… Wild wind blew, rustling the leaves of the trees, from nearby clinking noise of glass and the rowdy laugh of the adventurers could be heard.

Annette who was taking everything in, suddenly arched her beautiful eyebrows and held her hand near her ears. This was a sign that she had received a special message transmission from one of her teammates.

 "I see… keep monitoring him and the other for the time being. I will let her know about this" After saying so, Annette cut the communication and made her way over to the main tent where Cynthia and the others were.
