Chapter 360 Comforting Christina And Talk With Myrcella

I took the portal to the Pallas Kingdom and found myself walking through the corridors alongside Myrcella Redhorah. As we passed, the knights and maids widened their eyes in shock before quickly bowing their heads with even more respect and reverence than before. My true identity had already spread everywhere, and Christina had likely confirmed everything. I was no longer seen as the Queen's niece but as the youngest son and Heir of the Kingdom. The fact that my face resembled my mother's and thus bore some likeness to Connor probably added to their shock.

"What was his name again?" I asked.

Myrcella, her face hidden behind a white mask, remained silent for a moment before replying. "Aslan Edenis Gabriel was leading the meeting."

"Edenis Gabriel, huh?"

He belonged to the four great Edens, the Kings of Edenis Raphiel. He was also Miranda's uncle.

Aunt Olivia's face briefly flashed in my mind. She had sacrificed her own safety for the one she loved, and predictably, it didn't take long before she was targeted and killed by the Iris Project.

There was a reason why the Great Four Families of Edenis Raphiel stayed secluded on their island.

"Did he say anything about my mother's situation?" I asked.

"Lord Aslan said he will try to locate her," Myrcella answered.

"Tell Aslan to first think about a way to defend himself from me. The next time I see him, it won't be for greetings," I spat venomously.

"You are talking about a King of Edenis Raphiel and the Leader of Monarchs, Edward Falkrona," Myrcella warned, though there was no annoyance in her tone.

"And what? He couldn't even protect a meeting between the highest nobles of this world. You earn respect from others, and I have none for that old man," I retorted, snorting.

Myrcella fell silent.

"Where's my sister?" I asked Blaire as soon as I saw her.

"I-I will lead you, Your Highness!" Blaire said, immediately hurrying ahead.

"You've changed a lot since I last saw you, Edward Falkrona," Myrcella said, recalling the time she saved me during my fight against Pyres.

Pyres... That bastard responsible for Louisa's death. In the end, it all traces back to those Iris Project scum. Aunt Olivia, Louisa, and now my mother... I swear I will erase them from existence.

When I reached the doors, the two knights guarding them panicked at the sight of me. Ignoring them, I swung the doors open.

Inside, the important nobles of the Kingdom were gathered, discussing matters with Christina, who still had swollen eyes but was diligently doing her job. Upon seeing me, Christina's tired eyes lit up slightly. "Amael..."

"Everyone out. I need to talk with my sister," I ordered.

"Your Highness," they all greeted me before leaving one by one.

In the end, only Christina, Myrcella, and I remained in the room. Christina silently put away the letters on her table.

She chuckled hollowly. "All letters from other nobles, offering their condolences."

"Tell them all to go to hell," I said, sitting down next to her.

I smiled, leaving the room and following after Myrcella.

"Myrcella Redhorah."

Myrcella, who was hurrying ahead, stopped in her tracks.

"Are you in that much of a hurry to see daddy Aslan?" I asked with a scoff.

"It seems your character isn't the only thing that has changed in a year, Edward," Myrcella said, turning around.

"Do you know where my mother might be kept?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

I knew she was just planning to search the world to find my mother.

"No, but I will find her," Myrcella replied.

"How long will it take? A month? A year? Ten years? I guess you'll be just in time for my sister's burial."

"You..." Myrcella's mask hid her face, but I knew she was glaring at me.

"I know a way to find my mother," I said confidently.

"What? Are you telling the truth?" Myrcella asked, not believing me at all.

"If I didn't have the means to find my mother, I wouldn't be as calm as I appear right now," I said, narrowing my eyes.

I would have done something reckless if I didn't know that my father, no matter what he had become, wouldn't kill my mother. Knowing I had some time allowed me to think carefully and rationally.

"Then what are you waiting for?" She asked, puzzled.

"I need some time."

"We don't have—"

"We have time. Whatever my father is planning won't kill my mother and will take time. That time will be enough for me to find where she is. I need you with me to take her back," I said.

"..."

"You can leave now if you want, but you will just waste your time," I added without an ounce of doubt.

Myrcella clenched her fists. "What do you want me to do?"

"Quite simple. Stay here with my sister until I find the way. You will have the entire palace to yourself. Isn't that great? Though I suppose not since you are a princess," I said, turning around.

But I soon stopped.

"One last thing."

"What?" Myrcella asked, waiting.

"You will have dinner with my sister."
