"EVERYBODY!" Lord Zealot called the attention of the crowd. "PRINCE WILDER HAS CONNIVED WITH THE WITCHES AND IS TRYING TO PROTECT THEM. HE WILL BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON!" He declared. Richard watched with wide eyes, realizing what Lord Zealot had done. Had he been played? Wilder just smiled at Lord Zealot and shook his head. "That... won't be happening." "Do you think you are getting better because a physician from the palace treated you?" He asked in amusement before laughing. "You should cooperate…

Richard stared at the three without answering Harvey's question immediately. Was that the choice he had made? Sacrificing the little girl who did nothing to them to get Wilder back in the palace? Richard looked at Anne's daughter, who did not say anything. She had been quiet since he started talking, just like Harold too. Harold had actually seemed surprised when he realized Wilder and Anne's relationship ran deep. But Alicia hadn't been since she already knew about them; what she didn't know was whether…

Richard just looked at the two. Aside from what had just happened, he could tell something was bothering Anne. On the other hand, he could not understand what was wrong with Wilder or why he had worn the cloak when he was supposed to be checking his injury. How was he still standing there and chatting with her? He could smell Wilder's discomfort from where he stood. "Look at me," Wilder ordered Anne when she kept staring into the stream. She sighed and turned to look at him, locking eyes. "This... is…

The gas had also affected Richard, and Wilder, who was already suffering from the silver and wolfsbane poisoning. As soon as Richard took notice, he tore out a part of his dress and handed it to Wilder to cover the lower half of his face while he did the same for himself. With the assassins still struggling to run away but too weak to even move, Wilder took the chance, racing into the poisonous smoke with his sword, and Richard followed with his sword too. He didn't care that it was a dishonourable thing…

The attack had come abruptly. Prince Wilder had been bathing in the stream down the woods, with Richard standing guard far away, when he felt that they were being ambushed. At almost the same time, arrows came flying at him. Thankfully, Richard had already sensed it and was able to swiftly hit them off with his sword. However, the men all came out of their hiding spots, dressed in all black, with their faces covered from their noses down and also wearing short straw hats to properly hide their…

Prince Wilder insisted that he didn't need any more men deployed to that village to hunt around for witches. He said he would handle it and would be permanently moving there to better find them on his own. Everyone was supposed to be happy about him going far away, right? But no. They were uneasy. First of all, it has been 3 years now. How come he still hadn't been able to find one single witch in that small village? The Prince Wilder they knew would even burn down the entire village just to find them.…

Richard followed Prince Wilder when he returned to the palace a few months later. The first thing Wilder did when he arrived was go find the king where he was looking out into the lake and grab him by the neck until Eli's back was against the wall of the podium behind them. Wilder squeezed viciously, and even Richard had been too shocked and scared to know what he was supposed to do. Seeing how there were no guards around, he didn't know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. "You must have…

The third time Wilder met the strange girl, Richard hadn't been there when it happened. It was a year after they met her the second time. He had chased after her at that time but didn't see even her shadow. The only thing he had found was the dog, which had run for its life. They had received information about a man who knew some details about the witches' hideout. Richard had led some people to find them, while Wilder had taken a different route with some other men. When Richard met them again later…

Months passed. The king had fallen severely ill and passed, and Prince Eli was now King Eli. Another unfortunate thing that happened was Queen Arya giving birth to another Beta, making it two Beta sons. The kingdom was even more unstable at this point, and Lord Zealot's foothold was stronger since he could even control Eli more than he did the previous king. He was a powerful man with gold and armies, and it wasn't until his death that King Eli could fully be in control of them. But Richard could see how…

"Mind your business!" The noble lady spoke harshly before gesturing to the maid to grab the little girl, but once again, the intruder pushed her off. "How can you bully a little girl like her?" The strange girl asked in disbelief as she looked down at the frightened girl. From the look of things, this was not the first time it had happened. "She is my servant, so why can't I bully her?!" The noble lady asked arrogantly. "Ser-Servant? What is... that?" The girl asked in confusion. "I... am not a…
