Chapter 57: Prince Julius's Plan

The man in black knew the rules well; even though he was acquainted with the two guards, there would be no exceptions.

He took out a silver token from his ring and removed his hood, revealing the face of an ordinary middle-aged man with a slightly pale complexion, as if he had not been exposed to sunlight for a long time due to living in the dark.

One of the guards took the token, checked it, and then returned it to the man in black.

"No problem, long time no see! Robert."

"Long time no see. Where is the lord now?"

The man named Robert took back the token and casually asked.

"The lord should be in the study, looking over the intelligence report that just arrived from the Fis Chamber of Commerce. You can go straight there."

"Thank you."

Robert nodded to the guard and made his way familiarly to the study on the second floor on the east side of the building.

When Robert stood outside the study, he awkwardly wiped his hands on his clothes before knocking on the door gently.

"Come in."

A calm and magnetic baritone voice came from inside the study. Robert then relaxed, carefully pushed the door open, and walked in.

Inside, a spacious walnut desk faced the door, neatly arranged with various books and documents, bathed in the still cool morning sunlight.

The blond middle-aged man sitting at the desk, leaning back slightly in his chair, was frowning at the intelligence report from the Fis Chamber of Commerce and did not notice the entrance of Robert.

Seeing this, Robert did not speak but stood silently to the side, bowing his head and quietly waiting for the man to finish the remaining documents in his hand.

After a while, the blond man put down the papers, took a sip of the fragrant black coffee beside him, and rubbed his tired eyes.

"Lord Julius, you really shouldn't overwork yourself like this," Robert said softly, his face filled with respect and concern.

"The plans are mostly in place, just waiting for the Annual Holy Festival. And you haven't had a proper rest for more than half a year!"

Indeed, the blond man sitting at the desk was Prince Julius Fis of the Fis Kingdom.

Julius waved his hand nonchalantly:

"The closer we get to critical moments, the less we can afford to let our guard down. I don't want years of effort to be ruined overnight."

Then Julius looked up at Robert in front of him and asked:

Lately, he had been feeling a sense of palpitation, something that had never happened before. Was there something he had overlooked?

Leaning back in his chair, Julius suddenly asked Robert:

"Have the targets for the Annual Holy Festival been confirmed?"

"Yes, my lord," Robert quickly replied.

"They are Viscount Cain, Baron Leo, Baron Lucas, and Baron Allen. On that day, these four will be arranged to stand 15 meters to the left of His Majesty the King."

"But..."

Julius lifted his eyes, disliking the uncertainty, and pressed Robert:

"Speak the truth!"

Robert hurriedly lowered his head and said:

"As per your instructions, Baron Leo, Baron Lucas, and Baron Allen have been probed without any anomalies. However, the task regarding Viscount Cain was given to Camus, and there has been no progress."

"Camus?"

Julius remembered him; he was an exceptionally talented student from the Fis Royal Magic Academy who had broken through to Silver Mage before graduation.

What's more precious was his commoner background, making him one of the mage talents Julius had recruited in recent years, and hence, he had high hopes for him.

Senior mages were very valuable allies, and in the entire Fis Kingdom, they were mostly found in the Magic Academy.

Being the first in line to the throne, he had only one Gold-level mage under his command.

He had wanted to give Camus a chance to prove himself, but he couldn't even complete this small task?

Julius was somewhat disappointed; he had allocated quite a few resources to Camus.

"Make sure there are no accidents! Hurry up!"

Julius stood by the window, not saying much more, just faintly instructing Robert.

"Yes, my lord!"

Robert immediately complied, and seeing that Julius had no further instructions, quietly turned and left the study, gently closing the door behind him.

Julius silently watched the bustling streets from the window, his gaze not focused on the noise, but murmuring in a voice filled with complexity:

"Hilda?"
