Chapter 83: Prince's Arrival

After Viktor's crests merged into a hollow, some changes formed in his guardian fragment. In another way of describing, his fragment grew up.

At first, Viktor could only read the records of a person. But after his fragment got stronger, he can see deeper into a person's life. He was able to erase a small portion of normal people's memories. But it was still lacking.

Tsk! Why can't I read the guardian of greed's record? It says that they went to a destroyed planet after they betrayed my elder brother. It's burly after that. The pages are empty from this stage. It's like the alphabets are appearing very slowly. It feels as if they went somewhere where the time is very slow from the real flow of reality time.

Viktor took out his mother's record and saw it was the same. The flow of time on earth is also slow. So he assumed that he was living on a planet that has a different flow of time.

"Master, is there something wrong with the book?"

Adonis came inside his bedroom with a cup of warm water and gave it to him.

"Sit down," Viktor said. So he sat beside him on his bed and asked if there was something wrong. But he finished the glass of water first and said," I feel like I should teach you something important."

Viktor patted his head and inserted a small ball of light inside his head. It was an information ball he made to pass secrets from one person to another. It's a black technique that even god doesn't know how to break through.

"Master, this is.."

"Shush!! Don't speak of it to anyone. Use it when you feel like you need it.'

Viktor went inside his blanket right after he finished talking to sleep. He was too exhausted to use the black technique because it was the heaven guardians magic. A normal elemental guardian doesn't know its existence. And it costs a great amount of mana.

Somewhere in the Imperial palace.

A group of people was sitting in front of a lady on their knees. They looked pale as if they were dead. Their eyes were fixed on the floor because the lady in front of them was scolding them for failing their mission.

The lady asked, "You. You're telling me that you found no information on Viktor?"

"No, my lady. His office was moved to imperial offices, but his papers were sealed. We were unable to find anything."

The lady stood up and grabbed him by his hair. Her anger was leaking out as a dark and red aura from her body.

"You deserve to die."

"No, lady! Please! I'll make sure to ..no!! Aaahh!!!"

Dozens of dark hands came out from her back when she cast her dark magic and it killed the man by ripping his head from his body.

The blood splattered everywhere.

"I hope some of you can get me his real background. I want to know who he is."

The people inside the room accepted her request and walked out of the room with that dead body on the floor. But the separated head was left alone.

"Ugh! Why can't I charm him! What secret is he holding!! Should I just kill him! But how!!!"

She stomped on the man's head and its skull broke into pieces. His eyeball got stuck under her hill. So she accidentally tripped over the broken skull.

"Aaaaaahhh!!!!"

At that moment, the prince had no idea what he was witnessing behind the door.

It was midnight, so he thought that he'd spent some time with Elena secretly. His charm effects were gone because of the holy blessing of the temple. But emotionally, he grew some feelings for her. He walked out of his room secretly and when he was almost at her guest hall, he saw a group of men entering through the door. Some of them were royal knights, some of them were palace guards and a nobleman was also following the inside.

His intentions changed.

Why are those people going inside her guest hall at this hour?

The prince hid behind the window of that room and sealed his presence to hear what was going on. And then, he felt the dark uncomfortable aura all over his body. He knew it was black magic without any doubt.

I had no idea...

Suddenly, he heard a man screaming and his voice became broken and a disturbing grunting sound reached his ears. A man's head was being separated inside.

I should remain calm and see what happens next.

Suddenly, he saw a group of men come out of the room with a dead headless body. So he followed them instead of going inside. Because he knew his place.

She ordered them to search for Viktor. The best magician of this kingdom. I heard her badmouthing him countless times. When she used to do that, I felt rage inside my heart. I wanted to kill Viktor and feed him to hunting dogs.

But now that she's not beside me, I don't feel the necessity to kill him at all. Instead, he should be treated like a high person. I think I should go to his home right now. The situation isn't good inside.

"Blake."

A shadow knight who was appointed to protect him appeared behind him when he called out his name and said, "You saw what just happened there. What are your thoughts?"

"The prince invited a cursed doll inside the house."

"What?"

"I warned you countless times. But you were under her black magic spell. Now that she's inside, it will be hard for you to kick her out. Only sir Viktor knows what to do. I suggest you seek his help right away."

"Viktor hmm? The residence isn't far from here, right? Let's go right now."

The prince used shadow steps to cross the neighbourhood in a rush to reach his house quickly. The moons were shining bright, so he was clearly able to see where he was stepping. The houses under his feet were passing by as he jumped from one house to another. The shadow knight was following him from behind.

"My price, the Harvort residence is on the left."

Will saw the big white house with a blue roof and saw a figure standing on the tower. So, he jumped from a long distance and landed on the roof beside the man.

"Welcome to Harvort residence."

A man with dark hair and golden eyes welcomed the prince in the middle of the night. His eyes were reflecting the lights of the twin moon so his appearance became more astonishing. The prince was flabbergasted to see his beauty.

The prince asked, "Who are you?"

"I am master Viktor's butler. Adonis North. What brings the crown prince to the master's house at this hour, may I ask?"

"I'm here to have an important conversation with Viktor. I request an audience of his right now."

Adonis kept silent for some second and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible at this hour. Master is resting. Please come again after sometimes"

"How long is he going to sleep? It's almost the last hours."

"So, what brings you here?"

Viktor lit a cigarette by sitting on the roof and inhaled it for the first time. The smoke came out of his mouth and vanished with the blow of the cold wind.

"I'm sorry, master. I was trying my best not to disturb you."

Adonis took off his overcoat and covered Viktor's back because he was wearing thin night clothes.

"It's cold, master. Please cover yourself."

The prince was shocked to see him sitting on the roof with a cigarette, so he asked when he came up. "Just now. I can't get a good sleep because of all these problems. I assume you came here to complain about your baby bird?"

The prince clenched his jaw and said, "Stop this nonsense. You knew about her from the beginning. Why didn't you warn me?"

"I believe it's our first personal meeting right? And, do I have any authority to order the prince to shut his lips that wobbles between her legs"

The prince became embarrassed.

"Listen prince, life is tough. When you make a quick decision without seeing through all the negative and positive outcomes, that quick judgment of yours becomes the bone in your throat. And I do not have any solution to your problem. You need to figure it out by yourself."

Viktor threw the cigarette butt and wore the overcoat that Adonis gave him. "It's almost morning, prince. You should head back. And yes. Have a good sleep. Good night, first male lead."

Viktor touched his forehead and he became weightless. The knight who was protecting him also became weightless and flew as if they were in space due to Viktor's magic. He cast magic to teleport them back to their house without hesitation. Because it was already morning and he needed to sleep.

"Master, are you sure it was a good decision?"

"Don't worry. They won't have any memory of this events. They are going to wake up on their warm bed just like they did everyday. They will never remember today's conversation."
