The Lost Heir: Battle Of Royalties - Chapter 170

Although Diana’s long, wavy and light brown hair was blocking Liam’s back view, prince Zyrie can still see the man’s broad and seemingly proud shoulder.

“I hope you didn’t find his words insulting a while ago.” Princess Laura muttered when she noticed the indifference in the prince’s gaze towards the man ahead of them.

“I’m amazed you didn’t take it to heart.” The prince replied. Hearing the princess spoke positively, the prince partly smiled to acknowledge her meekness.

“Well, honestly speaking, I was greatly embarrassed when I heard Liam rebuked me. I didn’t understand why he has to educate me when in fact, it happened a long time ago. I was kinda hurt but while listening to him further, I came to understand his reasoning…He was not trying to force his principles on us but he was trying to give us words of wisdom and I came to admire him even more.”

Prince Zyrie smiled sincerely. Well, he must admit that the man gave them words of wisdom. Moreover, when Liam was speaking that time, for the first time in his life, he felt like listening to his big brother admonishing them for not acting right.

Yeah, like an older brother educating his younger brothers.

He smiled within him. That peace that covered his heart at that time… It was his very first time to feel that way.

Once again, he looked at the man. If his deduction is right, then Liam could be a year older than Veziron or vice versa. He couldn’t tell since they seemed to be on the same age. Also, the color of his eyes can mislead other people into thinking that he might be one of the lucky royals who escaped the terror of the battle for the throne of Allen decades ago. They might think he was one of the survivors of that cold war especially the residence and a few elders at the royal city who witnessed the most terrible history during king Edwards battle with his uncle years ago.

He has grey eyes just like the sons of the kings! It’s just that Liam’s eyes were silvery grey!

“He is a good man.” The prince admitted and Princess Laura smiled at the prince’s sincerity. Not many royals can easily admit that especially when they are pertaining to a man like Liam. Their ego couldn’t accept that someone is better than them. But this prince is not like the other men she knew.

She could also tell that prince Zyrie has a good heart.

“I’m glad you can see that now.” She chuckled a little.

“But still, we can’t ignore the fact that he’s already taken… and you also.” The prince chuckled tauntingly. His laugh made the princess hissed annoyingly so she pinched the man on his side.

“Hey!” He bawled. “Don’t you dare do that again if you don’t want the horse to fly. I’m telling you, I am not a good rider.” He warned the woman who pouted in response.

There was a moment of silence between them for a few seconds but it was the prince who broke the silence first.

“Princess, can I ask you something?” He seemed hesitating.

“What is it?”

“I saw you are pretty close with lady Diana as well as the members of the shadow knights…”

“Not really, but what about them?”

“Did you happen to know who Liam is? Where he came from and who his parents are?” His question was too personal and that made the princess furrowed her brows puzzled.

Why the sudden interest on Liam’s background? She thought.

“Why do you want to know?” She curiously asked.

“Nothing, Just curious. Anyway, you don’t have to answer if—-”

“He was a slave since he was young.” The princess interjected. “His men said he grew up as a slave. His parent’s died at a young age and he was left to his father’s close friend who in turn sold him to one of the Egyptian merchants. After a year, the Egyptians sold him once again since they can’t take him in Egypt.” The princess sighed whenever she imagined how hard his life was before.

Prince Zyrie heaved a sigh of relief that his thoughts towards Liam was wrong. What if he was one of the survivors of that cold war? Will it stir another battle among the royals in the future?

Not impossible since most of the government leaders as well as the citizen of the kingdom aren’t satisfied with the king of the country. Also, the fact that most of the political leaders were corrupt made the people dėsɨrė to have a total reform inside the palace.

Imagine what kind of chaos will Liam brings if he became one of the royal bloods!

“I don’t know how he escaped the life of slavery but according to his teammates, someone found him near the entrance of the forbidden. He was greatly injured as if he’s been battling with beasts for such long time. They claimed that since he arrived in Ikarai, the region started to feel a change little by little.”

“What a touching story��” The prince unknowingly voiced.

“That may be the reason why he doesn’t approve any kind of thought about inequality and discrimination.” The princess smiled. “Isn’t he amazing?”

“Tsk!” He snorted but smiled after.

Liam….

MEANWHILE, Asher has his eyes on prince Rohann all throughout their journey. He’s quite reserved in front of him and Liam but whenever he is with his brother, Asher noticed that he’s proactive.

He’s hiding something and Asher can sense it so he needs to watch him closely. He’s eyes were glued on him and prince Rohann seems to feel the eyes staring intently at him.

The prince looked around until he glanced at Asher who faked a smile. He did the same and look forward immediately. Is he doubting him? He suddenly thought when he sensed the fakeness of the man’s smile.

Dang! Guess he needs to be careful this time.

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

They’ve been waiting for hours now yet the young lady didn’t come out from her room yet.

“Do you think it’s time to check her out? again?” Lemuel suggested. However, lady Shammah didn’t say a word. She only glance at the door for a few seconds then exhaled.

“Looked like she stopped crying now. Let’s give her more time to sort her thoughts. I’m sure she’ll come out sooner or later.” The lady advised.

UNKNOWN TO EVERYONE, Sarah was in agony at the things she discovered when she was in front of the altar at the inner room. She didn’t know what happened and how exactly she understood all the events she saw in a vision.

But there’s only one thing she knows, her parents died unjustly!

Yes, for the first time in her life, she was able to meet her parents and witnessed how they adored her so much when her mother gave birth on her. However, they needed to hide her from everyone’s radar because they already saw through her that she’ll become a ray of hope for people searching for one.

They need to hide her so she would live.

That pained the young lady greatly since she silently hated her parents for such a long time. The thought of them not wanting her in the world was engraved deep in her head. And when she learnt about the truth, she deeply grieved for detesting them.

How could she despised those people who risk their lives for hers? She’s mourned.

Someone pushed the blame on them and despites claiming their innocence, her mother and father who were heralds that time, along with a few priests were mercilessly killed in front of the altar.

Whoever did it to them is the completely a devil’s spawn! She was gritting her teeth in anger.

She didn’t know how long did she stay inside her room grieving for her late relatives but now that she got a glimpse of the events in the past, she won’t stay silent any longer.

She slowly got up from the floor and leaned her tired body at the bedside while sitting on the floor. Then she glanced outside the big window. Her eyes may be looking at the sky but her mind was lost in space.

She’s thinking carefully of what to do to avenge the unfair death of her parents and the priests who died unjustly. Add the humiliating death of her grandmother….

The palace definitely needs to be thoroughly cleaned and the need to remove the corrupt and evil officials is a must!

Her mom and dad was both heralds serving the royal family for years and her grandmother was also a great herald over the century. However, their contributions were immediately forgotten when crisis came.

How could the king and the royals discarded their contributions? It seemed to her that the lives of these lowborn people were deemed unimportant to the point of exchanging their lives for other people.

But she won’t let that happen to her. If that’s the fate of being a loyal herald, then she will choose the other path. She can’t die yet unless she sees with her own eyes the destruction of the people who plotted against her family.

“Mom, dad… grandma… I’m ready!”
