Chapter 484: 482 Discovery_1

Prince Harrison stepped out of the bath, and a maid immediately came forward to help him dry off.

Harrison, who had grown up in the Phoenix Palace, was accustomed to being served by maids, unlike Colin who was affectatious. Of course, he would never make any ambiguous moves towards a maid.

As a prince, he wasn’t that desperate.

After dressing in a ceremonial dress, Prince Harrison asked the maid to apply perfume on him.

“What time is the banquet?”

“I’ll go ask for you.”

“Alright.”

After the maid left, Prince Harrison checked his ceremonial dress in the mirror.

After a moment, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

However, just as he was about to turn around, Prince Harrison was shocked to find an extra reflection in the mirror!

But, after seeing the face of the person, Prince Harrison let out a sigh of relief, and turned around to say:

“Uncle Lexie, what brings you to White Dew City?”

As for Prince Lexie, Prince Harrison was not afraid.

Although everyone thought him to be guilty of egregious sins, boldly murdered the Governor of the Empire, Prince Harrison overheard a conversation between his parents suggesting that Lexie was framed.

Therefore, towards this uncle, Prince Harrison was actually filled with a bit of guilt and sympathy.

Prince Lexie settled down at the table, poured himself a cup of flower tea and said:

“I was following someone. Weren’t you supposed to go to Silver Moon City? What brings you here?”

“I followed my teacher here. You might not know it but my teacher is amazing! Leading just twenty thousand men of the Blood Knight Army, he defeated the entire eastern army. If it hadn’t been for my father’s war order reaching White Dew City, the city might have been lost again!”

Prince Harrison bragged about his teacher’s brilliant military achievements with immense pride, then caught on to something in Prince Lexie’s first sentence, and asked curiously:

“Uncle Lexie, you said you were tracking someone? Who?”

Prince Lexie took a sip of tea and replied casually: “The person who framed me.”

Prince Harrison was taken aback and became instantly nervous.

As Prince Harrison didn’t know the whole truth and was unaware of Mr. Ji’s role in the matter, when Lexie said he was tracking the person who had framed him, he mistakenly thought it referred to Emperor Reinhardt and Queen Midela.

Naturally, the odd reaction from Prince Harrison didn’t escape Prince Lexie’s notice.

“Harrison, do you know something?”

“Uncle…I…I…”

Under the stern gaze of Prince Lexie, Prince Harrison panicked.

Of course, this only confirmed to Prince Lexie that his young nephew clearly knew something.

So he stood up, walked over to Prince Harrison, placed a hand on his shoulder, leaned in slighty and asked in a deep voice:

“Harrison, tell your uncle what you know.”

Prince Harrison felt as if the hand on his shoulder was gripping his soul tightly, and an inner tremor coursed through his entire body.

But he clenched his teeth and decisively said, “Uncle…I can’t…betray my father and mother…”

Prince Lexie showed a mocking smile, “That’s some will you’ve got, but it’s misused, unfortunately. Has the St. Lorenzo family really sunk so low that they have to resort to schemes and conspiracies to maintain their rule?”

Prince Harrison was shaking all over, sweating profusely, but he still defiantly refused to speak.

The look on Prince Lexie’s face grew colder and he said:

“Your father has already disgraced the honor of the St. Lorenzo family. I didn’t expect you to be of the same ilk. The prestige of the royal family will soon be completely destroyed by you father and son!”

“No! I cannot allow this to happen…”

Prince Lexie’s eyes revealed an unmasked desire to kill as he continued to speak:

“Harrison, I’m giving you one last chance. Choose for yourself whether to die dishonorably or to live uprightly!”

Prince Harrison felt the hand on his shoulder tighten as if it were going to crush him.

This young prince was facing life or death for the first time. But what he never expected was that the person pushing him to a corner was his own uncle!

Something in his heart seemed to shatter at that moment.

Harrison suddenly remembered the words his mother, Queen Midela, used to tell him—

A king is destined to be lonely and surrounded by lies and betrayal. Even your closest relatives can’t always be trusted. The only one you can rely on is yourself!

Prince Harrison always thought his mother’s words were exaggerated, but now, facing his uncle with the intent to kill, he suddenly came to a realization.

“Yes, Uncle, you were framed!” Harrison shouted with all his strength.

Prince Lexie’s expression softened a little, but he still continued questioning: “Who framed me?”

“It was my father and mother!”

“How did they frame me?”

“I really don’t know. I happened to hear snippets of their conversation and guessed from that that you were innocent. As for how they specifically framed you, I really know nothing.”

Prince Lexie stared into Prince Harrison’s eyes. After a long silence, he seemed to finally confirm that the other party did not lie, and then asked:

“So, are you willing to share what you know to the public?”

Prince Harrison hesitated for a moment, but soon gritted his teeth and nodded.

Only then did Prince Lexie retract his imposing aura, smiling and saying, “Good! This is the responsibility that a righteous St. Lorenzo should have! I will contact the Pope to arrange a hearing. By then, you…”

At this point, Prince Lexie suddenly stopped.

Because he felt a strong wave of Holy Light erupt nearby!

In his hurry, Prince Lexie immediately abandoned Prince Harrison and his figure flickered from sight.

Prince Harrison fell to the ground, panting heavily, unable to muster any strength.

After quite some time, he finally struggled to his feet, found pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter with his trembling hand.

“Someone, someone!”

A maid pushed the door and came in, saying, “Your Highness, any commands?”

Prince Harrison handed over the letter, saying, “Immediately send this letter to Dragon City!”

“Yes,” the maid nodded in agreement, but seeing Prince Harrison’s disheveled state, she carefully asked, “Your Highness, do you need help in preparing a new ceremonial dress?”

“Yes.”

…

Meanwhile, Prince Lexie who had followed the source of the Holy Light burst into Colin’s room, only to find Colin lying in a pool of blood.

After carefully sensing the residual energy fluctuations in the air, Prince Lexie’s gaze became incredibly sharp.

“Who are you!”

The Guard of the St. Prowse Family finally arrived, loudly questioning the back of Prince Lexie.

Prince Lexie didn’t bother responding, jumping out of the open window without looking back.

Only then did the guards notice Colin lying in the pool of blood, and they were immediately terrified, shouting:

“Quick! Get a priest! Count Angler has been assassinated!”
