Chapter 357 What Changes Everything?

Northern stared blankly at the lady while she was babbling.

Of course, he knew that he wasn't his father and mother's real son. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com

He could still very well remember the day they took him, he barely saw his mother but he could make out the urgency of the situation at that time.

The three sisters too...

And he had suspected that they were all dead.

But a Prince just sounded unbelievable. Eliis could have been wrong.

But a Knight of Luinngard Empire couldn't be. Right?

Northern squinted his eyes.

"You knew all this and still wanted to kill me?"

"The order was issued to kill Raven and her cohort. I'm the weakest of the two that was sent. Usually one knight should be enough but you have a Sage amongst your cohort. So I was added."

Northern felt slight pity for her as she called herself weakest.

'Weakest and yet she was so tough to handle.'

Northern looked away slightly, hiding the embarrassment on his face.

"You are not weak. You were tough to handle even for me."

Jeci smiled, her bruised face still managed to radiate like an angel, albeit, a fallen one.

"Thank you for the kind words, my lord."

Northern immediately raised his hands in protest,

"Hey, hey, let's calm down with the lord thing. We don't know anything for certain. Even if I am prince, I don't think that changes much..."

She interrupted before he could go any further.

"It changes EVERYTHING!"

Northern raised a brow.

"What?"

"This is not a question of what if, you. I am sure you are Henai's son. Henai is sister to the current Emperor of Luinngard. It changes everything. The Emperor is your uncle! And he loves his sister so much. Follow me to Luinngard. You'll see what I am talking about."

Northern looked at her contemplatively.

He was tempted to feel happy but was somehow trying to stop himself.

'The Emperor of Luinngard is my uncle...'

He suddenly felt like his shoulders were rising, stomach churning with happiness.

But at the same time, this could be a wild assumption, just like Ellis had.

"The tower," Northern responded.

"The Tower?" She tilted her head, puzzled, then her expression suddenly lit up. "Oh! That tower!!"

Northern did not respond to her and just continued walking forward.

"What about your friends?"

"They are not my friends."

"But won't you want to check on their bodies?"

Northern paused and turned to her with a dirty smirk on his face.

"Won't you want to check on the body of your number nine?"

She chuckled, "Pfft, he's good."

Northern nodded, "Exactly the same way I feel about those guys." He turned away from her, "If you really intend to follow me, the number one thing I value most is silence. Silence for me is golden."

Jeci's cheeks reddened, as she looked down, squirming like a worm.

She squeezed a few words out, which Northern didn't hear at first.

"What did you say?" He glared at her.

She spoke a little bit louder,

"If I decide to be a bad girl... would you spank me... here..."

She pointed to her ass.

And honestly, her figure was envious amongst many.

Northern felt his entire face flush with redness.

"What the hell?!!" He shouted and sharply turned away, moving forward quickly.

"My lord, my lord, please spank me my lord," Jeci cried as she hurried after him.

At some point, Northern even began to run, she too hastened her step, shouting:

"My lord! My lord!! Please spank my ass, make me cry my lord!!!"

Both of them ran until Northern came to a stop when he saw a massive wormhole, lying dead on the ground.

Its violet gore had enlarged into a pool, dampening the sandy ground of the desert.

It was the same worm that they had to take shelter from, the one that caused a sandstorm.

Northern's eyes trembled.

Who could have killed such a creature? A creature that it took Ul to warn them from.

Jeci finally reached beside him and stopped, looking at the titanic body of the worm.

"Number nine killed this."
