The moment that his blood made contact with the Summoning Crystal, there was a dark energy that suddenly came from the Summoning Crystal. At the same time, there was a strong aura that came from it that made the fourth prince's elite guards stop in their tracks. They were waiting to see what was going to happen with this Summoning Crystal instead of trying to stop it. The fourth prince saw this and shouted at them, "What are you doing? Stop him before the summoning ceremony is over!" The elite…

After he pulled out this dark stone, Duke Yuletide raised his other hand up to his mouth. However, he didn't seem to do anything after that. With the way that he was just standing there, it was almost as if he was hesitating to take this final step. Both the fourth prince and I knitted our brows when we saw the dark stone that he took out. While I had no idea why the fourth prince was looking like this, I had this worried look on my face since I could feel the magic energy coming from this dark…

The way that Duke Yuletide was acting was as if he was treating all of this as some kind of accident. It was as if he was trying to sweep everything under the rug. He went even further with this as he pointed at me and said, "Your highness, I found that this is all the tricks of this fugitive. Please hand him over to me so I can punish him for the things that he's done to my men." He didn't even hesitate to throw me under the bus, while also trying to get me back so he could continue with what he…

When the dark clothed figures saw me stand up and move towards the fourth prince, they had no choice but to come out as well and follow me. Though they walked in a calm manner to blend into the chaos, their hands were on their weapons. They didn't let their guards down for even a single second as they were prepared to fight their way out if things went south. Though it was clear that the first person that they were prepared to kill if things went wrong was me. We just casually walked forward…

For the first time in a while, I was finally let outside. I was surrounded by several men in dark clothes that all belonged to the Snake Syndicate. They looked like they were there to protect me, but there was no mistake that they would have cut me down at any moment if they were even the slightest bit suspicious of me. They had been sent by Duke Yuletide to make sure that I did what I was supposed to do. As for what that was, there was a reason why I had been brought to the forest like…

When Duke Yuletide was finished talking to me, I was escorted back to the same room as before. The two maids were still there as if they were waiting to serve me. They just stood there at attention as if they were waiting to cater to my every whim, but I could tell that there was a trace of disdain that was in their voice. It seemed that before I had arrived, there was someone that had told these maids some things. If I had to guess, it was most likely the two black clothed figures that had…

Resonance... Yes, it was a sense of resonance that could be heard from his voice. That was because he felt that his family had been betrayed by the royal family all this time, so now that he saw me who had also been 'betrayed' by the royal family like this, he felt that we were similar. That was why he went as far as revealing himself like this. He was confident enough that he would be able to convince me to side with him against the royal family, which was why he wasn't afraid to show himself…

I hesitated for a second, but eventually I stood up and followed the head out of this office. It wasn't as if there was anything for me to do if I were to stay in this office, so it was better to go along and see what they were up to. The head led me out of this office and to another room that was near the center of the manor. I found that the office that we were in before was an office that was at the edge of the manor. The one that we had just come to was one that was right in the center, near…

The moment that I heard this, I slightly knitted my brows. The black clothed figure who was sitting there in front of me didn't say anything, but I could see by the change in the look in their eyes that they seemed proud of this. But they seemed to have misunderstood something. This reaction from me wasn't because I was surprised by the fact that they came from the Snake Syndicate, it was surprise from the fact that they would suddenly admit something like this. At the same time, I knew that I…

Turning around, I found that there were two maids that were waiting there along with two dark clothed people who had their faces hidden. With the way that the maids had been waiting there, it was as if they had been waiting there the whole time just to serve me. But I shook my head in the end and said, "No need. I'll talk to your master first." The maids were surprised to hear this before looking at the two cloaked figures as if they didn't know what to do. To be fair, the two of them were quite…
