"I heard footsteps, they are here."
The man wearing black colored clothes spoke with a solemn look on his face.
Hearing his words, a big smile appeared on Raguel's face.
He then turned towards Lucas and chuckled,
"It seems that your Sister is still as naïve as before."
Lucas's face brightened up,
"S-S-See? I-I told you already, she still values me. You have already achieved what you wanted, n-now please let me go."
Thinking that Raguel's mood was better than before since his plan succeeded, Lucas begged.
However, Raguel just glanced at Lucas with the same smile on his face,
"No, I have another use for you."
"W-W-What do you want me to do?"
Lucas questioned.
"I will capture Evane and bring her here, once she is here, I want you to be the one to kill her."
"W-What?"
Lucas's eyes widened in surprise.
"What? You don't want to?"
Raguel narrowed his eyes,
"A-A-Alright, I will do as you command."
Frightened by his expression, Lucas nodded in agreement.
Raguel chuckled inwardly,
'To be killed by the one who you were trying to save, now that is a fate befitting for a bitch like you.'
"Goo-"
Raguel wanted to continue, however, suddenly, the man standing beside him snapped.
"We don't have the entire day, continue with your stupid plans later."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaguel turned towards the man and looked at him with a threatening look on his face.
The man looked back into his eyes without a trace of fear in his eyes, rather, a dangerous aura suddenly burst out of the man's body.
Feeling this aura, Raguel's expression changed and he stepped back in fear.
"Unlike you, I have things to do, it would be better if we complete the mission sooner."
"Y-Yes, as you say."
Raguel nodded.
The man nodded and then turned around.
Seeing his back, Raguel's expression contorted into anger, however, in the end, he just gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.
He had to hold back his anger.
Raguel then followed the man, the rest of the Soldiers inside the room placed their eyes on Lucas, making sure that he doesn't plan anything unnecessary.
Seeing their expressions, Lucas's body trembled again and he decided to not do anything.
Not that he was planning to do anything from the beginning.
Moving suspiciously meant nothing but a death sentence and Lucas wasn't planning to die here.
…
On the other hand, when Raguel walked out of the room where Lucas was locked, his eyes fell on his Great Grandfather who seemed to be waiting for him.
"We shall start."
Raguel's Great Grandfather, Cyneheard spoke with a serious look on his face.
The King Stage Cultivator beside him nodded as well.
However, just as they were about to move, another King Stage Cultivator, wearing black colored clothes appeared.
Seeing this man appear in front of them so suddenly, Raguel and Cyneheard panicked, Cyneheard took his fighting stance and questioned,
"Who are you!?"
"Don't act up, he is with me."
However, just as Cyneheard was about to attack the King Stage Cultivator who had suddenly appeared, the King Stage Cultivator sent by the Kingdom spoke.
"Lord Vloyd? What does this mean?"
Cyneheard questioned.
"Well, our King predicted that something might go wrong, so he sent the two of us here, just to be sure that the girl is dead."
Then, Vloyd turned towards the man who had just appeared and spoke,
"And since he is here then there must be something wrong."
Raguel and Cyneheard frowned.
"The information we received was wrong."
Suddenly, the man who had just appeared spoke.
"What do you mean? Is there another King Stage Cultivator protecting her?" Vloyd questioned with a frown on his face.
"Even worse, that girl is a King Stage Cultivator herself."
The man revealed.
"WHAT!!?" Hearing what he said, Raguel shouted in shock.
"Are you sure that you did not make a mistake? She just became a King Stage Cultivator a month or two ago." Cyneheard questioned. Though the disbelief on his face was not as evident as Raguel, he was still shocked.
"Do you think I would make a mistake like this?"
The man narrowed his eyes.
"And do you think someone can become a King Stage Cultivator in just a month?" Cyneheard questioned back.
"…"
The man turned silent.
"…I did not make any mistake, she was definitely the Second Princess and she was a King Stage Cultivator, not only that, she was even followed by another King Stage Cultivator, however, the man had covered his face with a mask."
"That must be her bodyguard," Cyneheard spoke.
"Alright, we don't have much time, I don't know how she became a King Stage Cultivator so quickly, however, even though she is now a King Stage Cultivator, we still have 3, while they are only 2. We even have more than Soldiers with us, killing them will not be difficult if we surround them properly." Cyneheard spoke.
"Indeed."
Vloyd nodded, he then turned towards Raguel and spoke,
"We don't have the time to continue with that stupid plan of yours."
This time, Raguel didn't say anything either, he knew this wasn't the time to fool around,
Evane has become a King Stage Cultivator, once this fact is revealed, her becoming the next King will be pretty much guaranteed no matter if he is proven guilty or not.
She had to die and she had to die right here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaguel nodded and turned back into the rooms where Lucas was locked.
"All the Soldiers are there."
The King Stage Cultivators followed him.
The 4 of them walked into the room and Raguel walked towards Lucas.
"D-D-Did you get rid of her? Will you let me live now?"
Lucas questioned, however, soon, a frown appeared on his face and he questioned,
"Wait, but you told me to kill her? Why didn't you capture her and bring her here? Did you change your mind? Well, that is not a problem either, she will be dead either way, heh, with that bitch gone, now you can become the next King easily.
All hail King Raguel!"
Lucas cheered.
Raguel, however, didn't react much and replied,
"Lucas, there is a change in plans."
"W-W-What do you mean?"
"I will kill Evane with my own hands."
"That is completely fine by me. You can let me go, she is already here, isn't sh-"
Lucas nodded.
"Well, since you are not useful anymore, you will be sending you away first. You still have Royal blood flowing in your veins, don't you? I can't take any risks."
Raguel smiled evilly.
"W-What?"
Lucas's face paled.
Raguel walked towards him with a smile on his face, a dagger soon appeared in his hand.
"NO! YOU CAN'T KILL ME!"
Lucas shouted in fear.
Raguel's smile widened, he raised his dagger, ready to kill,
However, just as he was about to lower his arm,
"Ahh, that would be a problem, I can't let you kill him,
So you need to stop, First Prince."
