The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 107

Wait. Does that mean he forgive them? They couldn’t believe their ears as well as their eyes when they saw him smiled sincerely.

“L-liam….” Beverly had been silent the whole time giving her family more time to apologized to the man. And when she heard Liam said he forgave them, she lifted her eyes unbelievingly and teared up gratefully.

She slowly stood up and dashed towards him and embraced him tight. Ah! She could finally breathe.

She kept sobbing while Liam ċȧrėssed her back. “I-I’m sorry!”

“Your forgiven.” The man whispered while the Sven family stood up. For the last time, they kowtowed in full respect before the man.

Diana teared up at the touching scene before them. She seemed to be watching a very dramatic movie. At least, a happy ending.

Finally, a closure. She muttered within her as she wiped the tear dropped from her eyes.

“Diana!” She saw the woman running towards her. She was crying and smiling at the same time. “Thank you!” She hugged the woman tight as soon as she reached her. “Thank you for all your advises yesterday. It worked! It really worked!”

“I’m glad everything was settled now.” She mumbled.

The woman sighed deeply when she broke away. Then she held the woman’s both hands. “I don’t know how to thank you for all your help.” She kept sniffing. “I literally owe you the freedom we have now.”

“Everyone deserves to be happy and free.” Once again, the woman embraced her tight.

The Sven family left as soon as they settled all their concerns. Now everyone was leaving with unexplainable joy on their faces.

“Liam…” Cole sat beside the man who was sitting on the couch at the living room. The others offered to ȧssist the Sven family as they go back and Diana and Sarah went with them.

“Yes?” He replied as soon as he took a sip on the glass of water in his hand.

“You scared me a while ago.” He hissed. “I thought you were serious about making one of them your slave.”

“Did you really think I would do that?”

“Something like that. Besides, you were so serious back then.”

Liam chuckled. “I was actually thinking of doing that.”

Cole raised his brow confused. “Then what made you change your mind?”

“Well, I don’t need one since you are more than enough.” He joked. “Besides, he doesn’t have the skill to fight. I don’t need a crybaby in my care.”

Cole rolled his eyes knowingly but he was also quick to notice the sudden change on the man’s face. He looked… troubled.

But that kind of facial expression of him hints something odd.

“What’s the matter?” He was worried.

“Cole, can you do me a favor?”

“What is it?”

“What’s your plan then?” Cole asked.

“I need you to gather information. And make sure no one notices you as you work on this task.”

“You can trust me with it.” Cole confidently ȧssured the man.

Meanwhile, at the royal city of Kadesh….

Prince Veziron and his confidants reached Colah, the royal city. The conversation with the northern kingdom went smoothly and he was confident that they will be able to get them as their ally.

Though there was just a slight problem but it was manageable at least.

He was riding the horse proudly while the people of Colah pays him respect. They were already greeting him like a king.

‘Ah, this kind of feeling… I like it.’ He muttered softly. Seeing how the people esteemed him highly raised his confidence and his chance to be the next king. Truth be told, only the king and him received such praise and respect from the people.

He was enjoying the mini parade when he suddenly got a glimpsed of someone familiar standing from a distant.

‘Grandfather?’ He furrowed his brow confused. Did he intentionally come to welcome him? Impossible! He must have come to gather information about his business meeting with the king of the northern kingdom.

The old man cued him to follow him therefore, he got off his horse and told his confidant to go back to the palace first. Then he followed the old man who entered a dining place.

“Grandfather, is there something you want to tell me?” Prince Veziron asked as soon as he sat on the chair opposite him.

“How was your trip?” He didn’t answer his question. “What’s the result?”

“The king didn’t give his final response yet but I believe we got them on our side. He said he will be sending his final decision in a week.”

“That’s good then.” He sipped the cup of tea before looking at the man in front of him. “Did you know that the rumors about the crown prince was true?”

“No. I didn’t. Is it really true?” He wanted to know as well.

“Ehm.” He nodded. “The elders and the king’s council was in disarray right now. They were demanding to know the truth directly from the herald’s mouth.” He sneered viciously.

“Does that mean she will be interrogated in front of the council? Did father agree?”

“He doesn’t have a choice but to agree. And do you know the advantage of being interrogated publicly?”

“What?”

“You’ll be able to control the result.” He laughed maliciously.

“Don’t tell me…”

“Yes! I will bury the truth with her.”

Prince Veziron was in deep thought. He actually wanted to know who the crown prince was. If he was truly worthy to fulfill the prophesy of old.

“And also, have you heard about the shadow knights group?”

“The one they say as the ‘modern robinhood?”

“Yes, why?”

“We need to get them on our side. I heard that the king was eyeing them. I think he was planning to take them on his side.”

Veziron sneered in contempt. What so special about them? He thought.

“Don’t look down on them because you will be needing them once you ascend the throne someday.”

“What do you mean, grandfather?”

“I’m still about to receive the reports about them but I heard that they are growing in numbers day by day!”

“Why are you reacting as if they have saved the kingdom from foreign invasion?” He mocked.

“They’ve been saving a lot of towns and cities in some regions in the kingdom. And the number of their strong abled soldiers outnumbered the palace guards! If they decide to dethrone the king, then they could do it in a blink of an eye.”

“Are they really that strong?” Prince Veziron became serious all of a sudden.

“That’s what I heard.” He replied. “That’s why you need to talk to the head of that group and get him to sign a pack with you. You can use them to control the King and the people in this kingdom someday.”

Prince Veziron was obviously in deep thought. He heard some people talking about them while they were on their way back to the palace. Furthermore, an article pertaining about them has been posted everywhere. They’re becoming famous therefore, he might really have to agree with Shadrach’s idea.

Get them on your side.

“Do you know who their chief head is?” He finally asked.

“No. But I heard they were in Rouen right now.”

Veziron furrowed his brow? Did the old man say they are currently in Rouen right now?

“Are you okay?” Shadrach tapped the man’s arm when he saw him zoned out.

“Did you say the head of the shadow knights are in Rouen right now?”

“Yes.”

“I think I heard that the king sent prince Leo there. I just don’t know the reason why.” He traced his jaw with his finger. Did the king sent prince Leo to talk with the group’s head? hmmm.

Wait, what? Prince Leo was in Rouen right now? Shadrach suddenly felt perplexed.

“You must go, my prince. You must find the boss at all cost!”

***************

Meanwhile… In a simple bamboo house located in a deep forest, an old bearded man was looking outside his balcony as he patiently waited for his messenger to arrive.

After a few more minutes, a shadow-like ninja was seen jumping fast from trees to trees and as soon as she reached the balcony, she knelt down before him.

“Master!”

“What have you got?” His back was facing the petite ninja-like woman.

“They will be heading to Patar tomorrow. The negotiation with the Nahshon clan and the Ammihod clan was a success.”

The old man chuckled knowingly. “Well, I know they will succeed.”

“Also,he met with the Gadites’ head.” She added.

“What?” He faced the woman on her knees. “Why did he end up meeting Admah?”

“Seemed like Admah took some of his friend so he tried to negotiate with Admah for their release.”

“And?” The old man was curious. “Was there a war between them after?”

“Fortunately, there was none. In fact, Admah pledge his alliance to him also.”

“Really?” The old man smirked. “What an unexpected turn of events. Ha-ha-ha!”

Admah, that nasty crude business man… how did he gave in to that young man that easily?

“I think it’s time to meet him now.” The old man made his resolved. “Find out their next targets and let me know as soon as possible. Also, prepare my room, I think it’s time for me to meet this young man.”

The ninja-like lady lifted her eyes to gaze on the man. Is he really doing it? Will he risk showing up? What if he will recognize him?

However, since he seemed to have set his mind, he won’t surely change his decision now. But won’t his presence affect his long-made plans? Anyway, come what may.
