The inn was quite spacious. It had a bedroom and a living room. There were five people inside; Alexander, Chislon, Ulrich, Fedel, and the kidnapper; while Alexander's knights were guarding the door outside. –Thud! Fedel threw the kidnapper's body onto the cold floor and Chislon activated his Mana Disruption Device, in case the man tried something funny. Fedel lowered the man's hood and a brunette head came into view. There were many scars on his face and his age was estimated to be in his late…

Chilson swept the faces in front of him. "While we wait for reinforcements to arrive, we will return to Syna." Alexander's brows furrowed and expressed his thoughts in a displeased tone. "Why? Shouldn't we just search this forest?" Chislon shook his head. "That's what they're aiming for." The boy's wrinkles deepened. "I can't seem to understand what your point is, Count Andreas." "What I'm trying to say is that our opponents are using their little brains." And he smiled and continued. "First of…

She strode toward the door and before she left, Annelise sent me a goodbye kiss. I had never been relieved that a flying kiss was invisible else, I would surely dodge it. "Your Highness, please, don't marry that hussy!" Wrinkles manifested on my forehead. I glanced at Leticia and she looked at me with pleading eyes. Why would I want to marry Annelise anyway? She was the Empire's enemy, also, she wasn't my type. Leticia continued. "I-If Your Highness wants to get married, please marry me instead! I…

Hours passed and footsteps echoed through the room. A black-robed man came and brought a tray of food. "Wow. Thank you!" One of the guards spoke. "This is not for you!" "What? Then for whom?" "The Priestess ordered us to treat him well." He pointed at me with his chin. I had no idea who 'the Priestess' they talked about was, but it seemed to be a higher-up or something. "Why does the Priestess have anything to do with him anyway?" He shrugged and approached my cage. "How should I know? I'm just…

"Say, Cedric, should I chain my son inside his Palace instead?" "Pardon?" Cedric was baffled. He couldn't comprehend what the Emperor was talking about. Dariush heaved a long deep sigh. "Never mind." "I–I understand." "Did Theresa know about her son's kidnapping?" "Her Majesty did not." There was a brief pause. "Keep it quiet for the time being." "I understand." –Tuk –Tuk –Tuk The white-haired man tapped the window frame. "When is the Yovanny Princess coming?" "Estimated around 4 to 5…

"Ian wait!" Alexander tried to follow Damian but someone grabbed his upper arm. He stared at the doer and Chislon came into view. "What are you doing?! Let me go!" Alexander struggled to get his hands off but to no avail. The boy didn't know, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat, and waves of pain swirled through his head. "Your Highness, please calm down." The Count tried to ease Alexander's anxiety. Chislon thought that it would be bad if both Princes separated from them. "No! You don't…

Alexander guided me to a food booth and ordered something. He placed two silver coins on the table and took two food skewers from the vendor. "Here." Alexander offered me one and I received it. The food in my hand was white and had the shape of a tube; they stacked up horizontally and red sauce covered them. "Try it." I lifted my head and Alexander was seen eating it. I brought it to my lips and took a bite. The sweet-spicy flavor with a little bit of acidity filled my mouth; I thought it was the…

A day passed in a blink of an eye and after taking a shower, Fedel helped me put on the hair-changing potion. Simply, the color would come off when exposed to water and that was why I had to reapply it. "It's done, Your Highness." "Thank you, Fedel." "My pleasure." Soon, I got out of the room and coincidentally I met Alexander in the corridors. He was seen walking whilst massaging his bridge nose. I hastened my pace and positioned myself next to him. "Good morning?" He turned to look at me and my…

Once the trip was over, I did ask Chislon and he said that we were indeed visiting their Research Department; as I had foreseen. He also stated that there were at least 7 Departments in each Division and blah blah blah, but still, they didn't explain anything that made them so special. There was something amiss about them. After that, Chislon dropped us at the Imperial Resident and said that something came up, then left. The mansion we would be staying in was much grander than expected but I didn't…

A butler was seen standing in front of the mansion. He had brown hair with a few strands of gray decorating it and light-brown eyes. He wore glasses and his age was estimated to be around his late sixties. He bowed as soon as we arrived at the entrance. "I greet the Princes of the Chrono Empire." "You may rise." The butler straightened his back and glanced at Chislon, then smiled. "Count Andreas, it's been a while." "Yes. It's been a while, Joshua." He returned his attention to us with his benign…
