"It’s quite simple..."
Davis echoed as his words trailed off.
"You just have to tell the Alstreim Family’s Envoy that it was your second brother who had impersonated you..."
"What!?" Alexi Ethren momentarily became stunned.
Hearing the other party’s voice which seemed to be solemn and not jesting, he became stunned again before he connected the dots!
"Is the impostor Second Prince!?" Alexi Ethren asked as his eyes widened.
Davis nodded his head, "They must be thinking that I haven’t managed to identify the impostor’s face but it’s too bad that they underestimated my skills in investigating through soul sense."
"The one who tried to frame you is none other than your own second brother, Keith Ethren."
Alexi Ethren’s expression became ugly as he clenched his teeth in anger. Somehow, he didn’t doubt this point as he too felt that his second brother always looked as if he was always scheming something.
In fact, he knew that his first brother and second brother didn’t look eye to eye at each other since they were aiming for the throne, having the same conflicting interests. He didn’t doubt that they might even go far as to kill each other for the throne.
However, he, Alexi Ethren hadn’t even taken part in the race to the throne! He and his subordinates did nothing yet they were all almost framed!
They hadn’t even contested for the throne but they were schemed against regardless of their intentions! This was basically forcing them to fight for the throne or die!
The was also another way out but that was to become servile!
"Law Sea Stage undulations have erupted in this northeast region, hence, the lord of this region, one of the Royal Protectors will arrive in a few minutes to check if the matter has been resolved..." Alexi Ethren muttered and turned to look back.
"Yen, check if entry is allowed into the Second Prince’s Royal Palace. If they’re giving an excuse and refuse to let you in, then instantly report it to me."
"Yes!" Alchemist Yen exclaimed with fervor.
Finally! The Third Prince could oversee their dire straits.
Alexi Ethren turned to look at his another subordinate and moved his mouth, "Agis..."
"Yes!?"
"What!? Is that true!?"
Agis Stirlander became stunned for a second. He glanced at the Conferred Queen’s Protector before looking at Alexi Ethren, "Your Highness, it is indeed true..."
"My granddaughter has fallen for that man... Alchemist Davis Loret, who initially seemed to be Alchemist Scythe who had helped her survive in the Tripartite Alliance Territory."
Alexi Ethren’s eyes brightened before he laughed, "So that’s what it is... So they have a past..."
Agis Stirlander couldn’t help but smile wryly, ’Indeed, if it weren’t for their history, I would have doubted their intentions as well...’
After all, Alchemist Davis could have made a move on Natalya after knowing that she is skilled in Yin Laws but judging by how they acted, it didn’t seem to be the case as Natalya looked as if she were head over heels for Alchemist Davis.
Seeing how Alchemist Davis had helped him in this endeavor, aiding him in uncovering the impostor’s identity, he rather felt felicitous and heartened of his grandson-in-law.
"Since you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, especially your granddaughter from these assailants, I suggest sending your granddaughter to the Conferred Queen’s residence for the time being."
Agis Stirlander’s expression changed, "This..."
"If you are worried about the propriety or her safety, then I’ll give you my word that I’ll safeguard her until their..."
"Mighty Expert, with these words, I can rest assured..." Agis Stirlander sighed as he stated. He felt reluctant but as the other party said, he really didn’t have the ability to protect his granddaughter.
This entire matter of being framed began with his fallacy of believing an impostor to be the Third Prince. Hence, he felt that sending Natalya to them might be appropriate and safe.
Davis inwardly smiled as he gained what he wanted. With this, he could bring her to his residence and engage in marriage distancing, where the groom and the bride shouldn’t have any contact for the few days before marriage.
Davis imperceptibly blinked.
’Yeah, distancing...’
As if he’s going to follow his own words said through a fake persona...
’That’s likely not gonna happen...’ Davis inwardly lampooned.
However...
"Does the Third Prince have a problem?" Davis asked in a deep voice as he noticed the change in his expression when he mentioned him and Natalya.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
