Chapter 767 Assassination Attempt

As much as he wished to stay and hunt down the remaining assailants who dared to attempt an assassination, he couldn't risk High Prince Kael's condition worsening without immediate medical attention.

Orion redirected his attention towards Prince Alden and said, "Let's go. I'll follow behind to protect you."

Upon hearing Orion's words, Prince Alden nodded in understanding and swiftly ascended into the sky.

Meanwhile, Orion propelled himself into the air with a single powerful leap, trailing behind Prince Alden while ensuring the safety of both him and the injured High Prince Kael, with the captured assailant firmly secured over his shoulders.

Canopy palace

Orion stood outside High Prince Kael's room with Prince Alden beside him and Princess Morgana by his side.

The door swung open abruptly, shattering the solemn silence in the air.

High King Eldric and High Queen Rowena emerged from the room, shutting the door behind them.

"Thank you for your help, Mr Orion. I promise your actions today will not go unnoticed, and you will be properly rewarded," High Queen Rowena said, her gaze fixed on Orion.

"And I won't rest until I find the person responsible for this attack on my son," she added, tears welling in her eyes.

High King Eldric gently rubbed Queen Rowena's back to soothe her emotions. "Don't worry, I'll arrange for the royal guards and ensure that whoever is responsible for this pays for what they have done to our son," he said, his voice fierce and firm.

Orion shook his head. "I don't need any rewards, High Queen Rowena. Just knowing that I was able to do my best and protect the High Prince from fatal harm is the least I could do, especially after he and Prince Alden showed me around the Pixie Kingdom and took care of me," he responded.

Prince Alden nodded calmly in response. He had already checked his condition and knew he was okay. Therefore, he wouldn't leave his position until he ensured his elder brother's well-being.

Observing Prince Alden's response, High King Eldric sighed. Although he wanted to say more, he refrained.

"We'll be taking our leave now. I'll see you tomorrow, Mr Orion," High King Eldric said before walking away.

High Queen Rowena nodded at Orion before walking beside her husband.

Just as the High King and High Queen walked away, another figure suddenly emerged, racing down the halls towards them.

It was a woman with long, tied black hair adorned in a knee-

length light orange dress.

"ALDEN!" the woman exclaimed as she collided with Prince Alden, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around him. "I heard what happened. I'm so relieved you're okay. I've been informed that the healers have arrived and are heading to your room for your checkup. Let's go."

She attempted to drag Prince Alden away with her, but he remained rooted to his spot.

"What's wrong?" she asked, turning to look at Prince Alden with furrowed brows, her expression tinged with confusion.

Prince Alden shook his head. "The healers will have to wait a while longer, Dysis. I'm not leaving until I know my first brother is out of critical condition," he responded firmly.c

An abrupt silence fell over the surroundings.

Dysis landed on the ground, fixing Prince Alden with an emotionless expression. "I've heard the High Prince is already receiving treatment, but you've been waiting here since your return to the castle. You have two choices: either come with me and let the healers check your condition, or I can ensure you understand his situation firsthand by putting you in a similar state as the High Prince. Which will it be?" she responded, her tone threatening.
