Chapter 1610 The Third Prince

Chapter 1610 The Third Prince

The moment Grey and the Second Prince left the castle, the Second Prince asked him with a smile.

"Tell me the truth, who carried out the assassination of my younger brother?"

Grey didn't flinch, replying with a bland tone, "I don't know, I only interest myself in things I do. Since I didn't kill the Sixth Prince, I can't bother much with who did."

"What if the person comes for him?" The Second Prince asked.

The person he was referring to here was none other than the Seventh Prince. Grey said he couldn't bother himself with who dared to kill one of the Princes vying for the position of becoming the next Emperor, so the Second Prince wanted to remind him that he was working for someone who was also vying for that position, and might also be a target.

"His Highness is well protected, and if any unfamiliar person gets within a hundred meters of him, they will answer to myself and my comrades." Grey replied calmly, still not showing any signs of being worried.

The Second Prince has been monitoring Grey's expression and how he would react to these questions, but to his shock, Grey was the same way. This was the same expression and reaction Grey has had almost every time they had crossed paths. Even when he told Grey to assassinate the Third Prince, Grey didn't have much of a reaction.

'This guy is either clueless about it, or his ability to hide his emotions are top notch.'

The Second Prince didn't know what happened with the Sixth Prince, but he was wary of Grey and the Seventh Prince. He couldn't confirm if the Seventh Prince was the one who ordered the assassination, but he knew that since Grey could survive the attack of the First Prince's Necromancer, it meant that he could hurt him to a certain extent, and if the timing was right, he could even kill him.

He's on the same level as that Necromancer, so if Grey could harm that Necromancer, the chances that he could harm him was also very high. Besides, the time Grey had an exchange with the Necromancer, he was only in the First stage of the Sovereign Plane, now however, he has broken through to the Second stage, which meant a significant increase in his strength.

The Second Prince didn't ask any more questions, he led Grey in the direction of the Third Prince's kingdom.

On the way, Grey decided to ask.

"Will the assassination take place now, or after you've left?"

An hour later, Grey and the Second Prince got to the Third Prince's kingdom. They were escorted straight to the castle where they met the Third Prince in a Hall, with a few Elders with him.

"Brother, you're here." The Third Prince said, while still being seated.

The Elders in the Hall stood up as a show of respect to the Second Prince. He has not just a higher status, but he was also stronger than them too.

The Second Prince didn't mind that his younger brother was seated, he walked to one of the random seats the Elders use and went straight to the point, "Someone assassinated Waylan, you're the closest to his kingdom. Do you have any idea if he had any disputes with anyone?"

"Waylan has always been cowardly, groveling after everyone. There's none who would try to kill him." The Third Prince responded.

"But someone has killed him, and whoever it is, they have no reservations about killing any of us, which is a big problem." The Second Prince explained.

The Third Prince looked at him and said, "We just have to be careful, and when Father returns, he'll fish out the person behind it."

"And if the person kills anyone else before Father returns?"

The Second Prince saw the way the Third Prince was responding and knew he had no clue about the death of the Sixth Prince.

"One of my confidants was killed while he was coming through that route, around the same time as Waylan." The Third Prince said when he sensed the Second Prince's gaze on his Elders.

"Oh, what's his strength?" Curiosity appeared in the eyes of the Second Prince.

"First stage, he sent a message saying he sensed someone sneaking into Waylan's castle. We thought the person wanted to steal, so I told him to watch and then report back..." The Third Prince explained.

The person hasn't reported since then, and they found his life crystal had been shattered. The Third Prince guessed the culprit was the same person who assassinated the Sixth Prince.

The Second Prince didn't speak and squinted his eyes, accessing the information he just received. The Sixth Prince hadn't gotten to the Sovereign Plane so he didn't expect a Sovereign to try to kill him. But since a Sovereign was sent, it meant whoever did it was well connected. Very few people knew about the Sovereign that is always with the Princes below the Sovereign Plane.
