Agis Stirlander still couldn’t believe that the Third Prince he had been interacting with and divulging information was someone else all along, an impostor.
But all the facts pointed towards the Third Prince he had been interacting with is obviously fake.
In the world of cultivation, subordinates wouldn’t usually suspect their masters as it was the other way around. They usually followed orders and tried to be loyal unless they had rebellious intentions in their mind.
Agis Stirlander is a loyal subordinate, hence, from the start, he didn’t have much doubt since he hadn’t detected much difference as the impostor behaved nearly to how the Third Prince would behave.
Hence, this also made him think that the impostor should be someone closer to the Third Prince but the thing is... The Third Prince didn’t put on airs like a grand person but instead interacted with others as if they were his peers.
This caused him to be doubtful as to who exactly could be the impostor.
*Bzz!~*
’Well, I guess that it’s time to find out then...’
Agis Stirlander moved his head to a direction while his gaze became stranded on the materializing figure. Dark blue hair, and gentle features despite the sharpness the time left on his face.
Such a disguise that perfectly imaged the Third Prince he knew... But he still couldn’t see through!
"Agis... I believe that you have been well with the subordinates I sent to protect you."
Agis Stirlander became taken aback, wondering if this person was truly his highness, the Third Prince but when he recollected that this information of being protected could be known by the assailants who targeted him, he inwardly shook his head.
"Yes!" Agis Stirlander smiled, "The subordinates your highness sent are all extremely powerful enough to protect my residence. I wonder if your highness could allow me to personally thank, Alchemist Yen, Hassel, Gaines, Engelbert, and the few others who have given their time to protect my humble residence?"
"Of course!" A grin spread across the disguised man’s lips, "However, before you give away your resources to them which they wouldn’t require any son, it is better that you use it to investigate instead. By then, it wouldn’t be too late to gift them personally for their help!"
Agis Stirlander blinked once and bowed deeply with clasped hands.
Because... He almost couldn’t hold shock and disappointment back!
In the names of the subordinates he had given, two were fake! If the other party were the Third Prince, he really would have become confused and asked who those two were because the Third Prince was really close with almost every subordinate he had gained.
The disguised man forced a smile but it came off as a genuine one instead. It wasn’t as if he was a great actor but it was the power of laws.
Such is the power of an illusion!
Needless to say, this person was the Second Prince who had disguised himself to gain information and sabotage his Third Brother for no apparent reason other than hate and incompatible thoughts.
Alchemist Yen deemed that the Third Prince had thoughts about the opposite gender. His lips widened as he felt like teasing.
"Haha, your highness, you act like you’re secluded but you know of all things that happened in the Ethren City! If your highness is seriously interested in the Conferred Queen, you should’ve followed the example of your First Brother, the First Prince and tried to interact with her."
"You jest, Yen. Now that the Alstreim Family has barred us from even paying a visit to the Conferred Queen’s residence, how am I supposed to even interact?"
"Oh? You’re interested in me?"
A female voice suddenly echoed as Alchemist Yen and the Second Prince simultaneously stiffened! Their scalps turned numb as they tried to search for the source of the voice as a reaction.
But before they could even do, an enormous source of power abruptly appeared at a location and erupted!
When the Second Prince finally caught the glimpse of the yellowish-golden glow behind his back, his expression changed as he turned his head.
A fist appeared!
*Boom!~*
The surrounding herbs and flora all disintegrated in the wake of the fist’s force! A long line of the ground being carved up as if it were being eroded emerged!
The body that had taken the complete brunt of the force was sent flying as it broke through numerous walls before crashing on the ground, even forming an enormous crater in the process.
"You!" Alchemist Yen became aghast as he pointed at the woman.
His hair danced as even he too was almost sent away by the force of the fist but when he recognized what her identity concurrently, his expression became blank!
"You... You’re the C-Conferred Queen!!" Alchemist Yen’s fingers trembled as his arm and fingers dropped.
He dared not point anymore!
