The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 294

“Can we reply to Skia’s message?” asked Elios to Mischa.

“It doesn’t look like we could do that. He removed his tracks and used various satellite channels to send this video. He could be anywhere,” said Mischa. “I can send the data to Uncle Nic. Who knows, he might be able to help.”

“Yes, you should. Call Nic again, and take care of Karl Sotterham’s DNA, match it with Renald’s DNA in his wine glass I gave you the other day. If they are uncles and nephews, I think I know what makes them hate me to death and want to hurt my family,” Elios quickly explained.

The man’s face was red with anger. As a cold-blooded professional killer, he rarely showed his emotions. But since it was related to his daughter, Elios really couldn’t help himself.

“Yes, Sir,” said Mischa respectfully. He then excused himself and left Elios alone.

After Mischa left, Elios sat while staring out of the window, his mind was busy remembering Friedrich Neumann. He had only met this man a few times three decades ago before Ren was born.

In fact, Elios didn’t even think Friedrich had a child if he didn’t investigate Renald Hanenberg’s background. Once he learned that Vega was married to Ren, Elios used all his sources of information to find out who Ren really was and everything about him.

He wanted to know whether Ren was worthy of being with his daughter or not. Even though Ren was a prince, Elios thought that his origin was very suspicious. He used his mother’s last name, and the Moravian court did not acknowledge his existence until four years ago.

That meant, either Ren’s birth was undesirable or there were other problems. Elios could only determine the next step to do after he got that information.

For Alchemists, marriage was usually a once-in-a-lifetime event. However, the marriage between Ren and Vega happened in an unusual situation. If Ren didn’t deserve Vega, Elios would not hesitate to separate them.

He found some information about Ren which he thought was very unusual. During his life, Ren never had a lover. He had only dated many women casually after he became an adult, but he was never in any relationship.

For a normal 30-year-old man, it was quite suspicious. That was why Elios confronted him and later found out that the young man was aromantic.

Even though his explanation made sense, Elios still didn’t like it because his favorite child was married to a man who didn’t really love her. Elios believed that only a man who could love Vega the way he loved Aleksis, his wife, deserved to have Vega’s heart.

Now … a new clue from Skia said that Ren was most likely involved with Vega’s kidnappers and it made Elios very angry.

He took out his cell phone and texted Ren to see him the next day after he announced his resignation to the palace. He would ask directly about Ren’s relationship with Sophia and Karl. Elios hoped that Nicolae could quickly find out Karl’s true identity so that they would find out the truth soon.

[Tomorrow, I will return to Targu Mures to meet Vega. You can come when your affairs at the palace are finished.]

He then closed his cellphone and finished the wine in his glass. It was almost midnight so he had to immediately force himself to rest and prepare himself for tomorrow which might be full of problems.

If Ren was indeed involved … Elios must think of a way to tell Vega the truth about her husband. After that, he would think about how to properly punish Ren and everyone else involved in that kidnapping incident.

While sipping his wine, Elios pondered again. If Ren was involved … Vega would be so heartbroken. Her heart would shatter into a million pieces. His daughter seemed to love Ren so much.

Would it be better if Elios took care of the matter secretly and Vega didn’t need to know the truth?

It was normal for him to feel so restless since Vega was his daughter. If only his children lived up to his plan … it certainly wouldn’t have turned out like this. Vega got married too young.

***

Ren was already sleeping when the SMS from Elios came to his cellphone. The sleeping pills he took were very strong and he went to sleep immediately after taking them. When he got up in the morning, he read the message and frowned.

Why did Elios want to return to Targu Mures? Didn’t he want to investigate the clue Skia sent last night? Did he plan something?

[I’ll be happy to come to Targu Mures.] Ren replied to Elios’s text immediately.

After he cleaned himself and got ready, Ren immediately headed to the palace and asked for a formal audience with the king and queen. He didn’t care anymore about Moravia. They could all go to hell if they wanted.

“Uncle, I will submit my resignation to the palace. I want you to prepare for another press conference. This is unexpected but I got the order from Alaric Rhionen to do it immediately,” said Ren on the phone to Karl.

“What? Did he ask you to resign?” asked Karl in surprise. He sounded displeased with Ren’s decision where he quickly followed Elios’s request. “Isn’t this too fast…?”

“Yes. However, I guess I have to follow my father-in-law’s request if we want the Alchemists to accept me. Isn’t that what you wanted all along?” asked Ren indifferently.

Karl was silent for a long time. He remembered Princess Hannah’s story decades ago about how her family treated her very badly. Karl, who loved Hannah as much as his brother, only wanted to avenge what the Moravian royal family had done to Hannah by taking the Moravian throne from their hands. And they were almost there already…

Ren was now the future king of Moravia … They only needed to wait for the old king to die or abdicate.

However, if they had to choose, Karl agreed with Ren to prioritize the Alchemists’ elixir of immortality.

“All right … I’ll arrange another press conference,” Karl said finally. “After lunch, all media will be invited.”

“Thank you,” said Ren before hanging up. He then looked up and asked John who was driving his car towards the palace. “John, after you drive me to the palace, go to the airport immediately and pick up a woman. Tell her that Karl sent you. I’ll give you the details.”

“Very well, Sir,” said John respectfully.

He was Ren’s trusted man who never asked anything other than doing what his master ordered him to do. Ren could always count on him.

After the car stopped at the courtyard of the king’s palace, Ren got out of the car quickly. He then knocked on the windshield and gave instructions to John. “Her name is Sophia Meier. I just sent the picture and all the details about her to your cell phone. From the airport, you have to take her straight to my penthouse.”

“Yes, Sir,” replied John again. After making sure the driver understood what to do, Ren immediately entered the palace. It looked like all his business would be settled today. He couldn’t wait to meet Vega.
