Chapter 127


"Your highness prince Claus, can you grant an audience to my family's young miss?" The old butler asked .

I wrinkled my brows . With a serious tone, I asked . "Alice?"

"So your highness remembers my young miss . It's an honor . "

I scoffed inwardly . It would be strange if I don't remember someone like her .

Beside me, Lena frowned displeased . "Who is it now? Always interrupting my time with brother . . . "

"An old acquittance . " I smiled wryly and explained Alice's background .

When she heard my explanation, Lena's first reaction was to shot me a suspicious look .

"Another woman?"

Little sister, your brother swears that I'm innocent this time .

I ignored Lena's gaze and spoke towards the butler in a sarcastic tone . "Do I need to follow you today too?"

However, the butler feigned not to understand the meaning behind my words and bowed apologetically . "I'm sorry, but my young miss is a bit sickly so she is unable to show the prince due respect?"

I snorted . Do you think I did not realize you are trying to take down a notch?

However, it shows Alice's inexperience . Showing off her arrogance will only make others warier of her .

Normally, I would not have bothered with it and I would have followed the butler, after all, I don't care very much about formalities and things like that, however, I'm a bit displeased with Alice today .

Putting on a cold look on my face, I opened my lips . "Tell your young miss that I will wait five minutes for her . If she doesn't come before then, then we don't need to talk . "

"… I understand . " The butler replied indifferently, not at all bothered by my attitude .

As I expected, less than three minutes later Alice appeared before me followed by the butler and the knight girl that always accompanies her .

"Long time no see you, Prince Claus . " Alice curtsied politely and showed a weak smile .

"Miss Alice is as beautiful as always . " I replied with a small smile and invited her inside the carriage . Alice agreed with a smile and entered with the butler and the knight . I did not bother to stop her two followers from entering .

Once she was inside, she bowed towards Lena respectfully . "It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Lena . "

"Hmph!" Lena snorted and looked away . Despite it, Alice kept her respectful smile .


Once she was done with the formalities, Alice looked at me . "Will Princess Lena heard our conversation?"

I replied with a smile . Before Lena could react, I touched her forehead and induced her to sleep .

"Bro… ther?"

Holding Lena's small body on my arms, I put her on my lap and stroked her head gently .

"Prince Claus sure loves the princess . " Alice giggled .

"Please stop with your games, Alice . Go straight to the point . "

"Okay okay, so serious . " Alice giggled again and pouted . "It looks like the prince is dissatisfied with me . "

"You know the reason . "

"… So I was discovered, huh . But it helped me to confirm that you are not simple, prince . " Alice chuckled, not the slightest embarrassed that I saw through her plot .

I remained silent and refused to answer .

Seeing my expression, Alice put a finger on her lips . "I'm curious though . What gave me away? I'm sure I don't leave any trace behind… Could it be, are your eyes like mine? Perhaps that is the reason you can fool my eyes . "

"You are mistaken, I'm not a seer . " I replied . "However, I have seen someone like you before . "

Alice was startled . "Another seer? Does that seer taught you to hide from our eyes?"

"You can say that I learned how so I could hide from her . "

"How interesting . Hey prince, can I meet her?"



"I don't think so . " I shook my head and looked right into Alice's clear eyes . "Alice, go straight to the point . If not, we will end this conversation here . "

"How impatient . " Alice pouted and raised her hands with a helpless expression . "Okay okay, I'll talk . Prince, what do you think about joining hands with me?"

"…"

"Think about it . " Continued Alice . "With my abilities and your talent, I'm sure we can surpass everybody in this world . Can't you see it? We two can conquer the world! Nobody will be able to stop us!"

"… So it came to it huh . " I heaved a tired sigh . Seers are always like this .

Seeing my expression, Alice misunderstood . "You don't like it? Or maybe you don't trust me? I don't mind marrying you if it allows you to trust me . In fact, you are the only male I have met that I consider worthy of marrying me . "

I fell silent for a moment . Perhaps, five hundred lifetimes ago this offer would have been enticing . But for me now, this is nothing more than a joke .

"… You are the same as her, Alice . "

"Huh?"

"Ambitious, proud, arrogant, thinking that you are the protagonist of the world… Thinking about it, it has been a long time since the last time I saw her . "

"… What are you talking about?" Alice asked confused, but I did not answer . Instead, I let out a sigh and put on a cold expression .

"I'll give you a word of warning . Don't plot again against the people around me . The next time you do it, I'll kill you . "

Alice was startled, but in the next second, an ice-cold look flashed through her eyes . "Who do you think you are?"

Instantly, powerful killing intent filled the carriage . From behind Alice, the old butler seemed ready to unleash his sword .

However, I remained unaffected . Slowly, a hidden and destructive intent spread out from my body, freezing the three of them in their places .

"Maybe you don't understand . " I said coldly . "The reason you are still alive is that you remind me of an old friend and rival of mine . But my nostalgy can help you only this much . If you try to touch one of my people again, I'll kill you without fail . "

Without giving them time to respond, I waved my hand .

A chain-like thing emerged from Alice's head . I then did a pulling motion with my hand and brought it in front of me .



"Consider this a small punishment . " I said, and then, I crushed the chains .

But nothing happened .

Alice's two subordinates were startled . They did their best to release themselves of my pleasure and looked at their young miss worriedly, but they failed to find anything wrong .

Alice, however, had turned completely pale .

"You…"

"… Now get out, I have an afternoon tea to spend with my little sister . "

With another wave of my hand, the three on the carriage disappeared .

One second later, Lena woke up .

"… Brother? Something happened…? Did I fell asleep? What about the girl?"

"She already left . " I said gently while stroking Lena's head . I felt a bit sorry for putting her to sleep, but I didn't want to show her this side of me .

As her brother, I wish she can keep her innocence for a bit longer .

Not much later, the carriage returned to the palace .



In another place of the city, in a carriage .

Three people suddenly appeared .

"Huh?" A startled expression appeared on the blonde knight beside Alice . She looked around unable to process what happened .

"Young miss, this…"

"We are back to the carriage, Hannah . " Alice resolved the knight's doubt . "Prince Claus sent us back . "

"Impossible! Something like this…"



Alice simply shook her head and sighed . "It looks like I still underestimated him . He is more of a monster than I expected . "

At that moment, the butler spoke .

"Young miss, why did you stop me from attacking? If the two of us fight together, I'm confident in defeating the prince . "

"You don't understand, uncle Aaron . The prince, he is unfathomable… Even when I was in front of him, I could see only a slightly more talented fourth-layer swordsman . In fact, if not that I'm sure nobody else could have defeated the assassins, I still would suspect if he is truly so powerful .

"Besides, even if we can defeat him, fighting against him now will only benefit the old men in the palace… Fufufu, I'm much more interested in him now . "

The butler sighed . "How I expected, you are not going to give up in the prince, right Young miss?"

"Of course not . " Alice smiled savagely . "Only someone like him deserves to be my enemy, my rival, and my partner . But… Uncle Aaron, make sure that none of our plans targets the people close to him . "

"… Are we going to stop our plans against his businesses?"

"It's not necessary . I got the feeling that Prince Claus enjoys this kind of game . Just make sure of not going overboard and it will be enough . "

Alice then fell silent for a moment before staring at the knight beside her . "By the way, Hannah, are you interested in joining the Imperial Institute?"

"Huh? Me? Wait young miss! I'm n–"

"It's decided then, you will join . " Alice interrupted Hannah with a smile, deciding on her behalf . Maybe she could learn a bit more about him that way .

Thinking about the mysterious prince, Alice curved the corners of her lips up .

"I wonder what the prince did to me… I have the feeling that I lost something very important, but I don't know what it is…"
