Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 206

Chapter 206
A long silence filled the place . Alice, Hannah, and Aaron's eyes were shaking . For a moment, they did not know if my words were true or not .

I chuckled at that . Well, that is the normal reaction .

\"Amazing, right?\"

Alice nodded in a daze . She then took a deep breath and calmed down .

\"… Why are you telling me this?\" Alice said, but her voice was noticeable hoarser than before .

\"What do you think?\" I asked instead of replying to her .

Alice fell silent . She thought for a moment before widening her eyes in fear .

\"The murders, could it be…\"

\"Bingo, that is the answer . \"

Alice's face paled . If my words were true, then what was happening was much graver than she thought .

I looked into her eyes and sighed . \"To be honest, I thought I was the only immortal in this world . As I told you, Immortals are not cabbage . Every Immortal is someone incredibly talented or incredibly lucky, most of the time, it's both . A person like that can take ten thousand years to appear in a world, and maybe they will die before attaining immortality . So, for two immortals to appear in a world at the same time is very uncommon .

\"But, after I investigated the killings in the academy, I came to the conclusion that the person behind them is most likely an immortal, or someone at that level . In other words, that person is probably someone strong enough to destroy this world . \"

Alice's expression turned grave . \"… Could you be mistaken?\" She asked .

\"Perhaps . \" I chuckled . \"But most likely not . \"

\"Don't think I'm joking . \" I continued with a serious expression . \"Alice, Immortals are not a good bunch . Most of them treat people as grass, not caring in the slightest if they die or not . Believe me, if an Immortal is planning to do something in this world, he probably will not care if he destroys half of the world in the attempt . \"

Alice nodded and fell silent again . I did not mind it and continued sipping my tea calmly while waiting for her next question .

Not even five seconds later, Alice looked at me with a sharp look .

\"No, something is not right . \" She said . \"If becoming an immortal is as hard as you say, how did you manage to become one at such a young age? Moreover, how did you learn all that information? Prince, are you messing with me!?\"

\"Calm down, Alice . I told you, becoming immortal has nothing to do with strength or age . Although you are right that I needed more than eighteen years to attain immortal… Mm, was it thirty or forty years? I don't remember . In fact, I became immortal purely for an accident . \"

\"Huh?\" Alice was completely confused .

\"… My way to immortality is pretty unique . Mmm, you only need to know that this is not my first life . \"

\"Huh? That is…\"

\"Reincarnation . \" I completed her words . \"Well, a bit different, but yeah, that is the gist of the things . As for the information, I learned about that in my past lives after interacting with some other immortals . \"


Alice opened her mouth, but she did not manage to say anything .

Another person spoke instead of her .

\"Young miss, don't believe his lies!\" Hannah, Alice's knight, spoke in a furious tone . \"How can you believe something so outrageous like that! Do you think we are crazy!?\"

I curved my lips up in amusement . \"Then tell me, what do I need to do so you can believe me?\"

\"That is…\" Hannah was stupefied .



I shook my head and chuckled . \"In truth, I don't care if you believe me or not . The only reason I'm telling you this is that Alice's abilities can be useful against the person behind the murders . \"

\"My abilities? Do you mean [Fate]?\"

\"Yes, [Fate] . \" I nodded with a smile . \"I told you before, don't I? You remind me of a friend of mine . Just like you, she can wield fate . Of course, she is much stronger than you . \"

\"… Is she an immortal too?\"

\"She is . \" I looked at Alice and replied . \"A very powerful one, by the way . I killed her twenty-seven times, but she is still alive . \"

Alice stiffened .

\"Coming back to the topic, [Fate] is a very strong power . Seers like you, when strong enough, can use it to manipulate gods and even immortals . That is the reason immortals like us protect ourselves against its powers . Nobody likes to have their actions controlled by others . Many immortals even kill every seer they find . I have also killed a few of them . In fact, during a period of my life, I hated seers more than anything . \"

All the blood drained from Alice's face . She could feel the killing intent I was exuding . For an instant, she thought I was going to kill her .

But the next instant, my killing intent disappeared .

\"Well, that was long ago, so you don't need to be afraid . Plus, I already took countermeasures against you, so even if you become as strong as that friend of mine, I will not fear you . \"

Alice nodded . She recalled that when we last met, I took something out of her soul .

She thought about asking me about it, but in the end, she didn't . She had the feeling I was not going to answer anyway .

\"So, what I need to do?\" Alice asked .

\"Nothing much . \" I replied . \"The person behind the murders will definitively hide his actions from your fate, so you just need to use your [Fate] as much as you can . You don't need to learn about his plans, but just to find any abnormality in the city . Something your fate can't see through, even if it's a dog that looks taller than its fate shows . When you find something like that, tell me . I will do the rest . \"



Alice looked into my eyes and nodded after a few seconds . \"… I understand . I'll believe you for now . \"

I chuckled and stood up . \"That is enough . By the way, Alice, I have a small advice for you . Stop now that you can curb your ambitions . Because if you reach the point where you feel the need to kill me, I'll kill you first . \"

Once I said it, I vanished from the spot .

…

Once Claus left, Alice and the others stayed silent .

Finally, Alice opened her mouth .

\"Uncle Aaron, what do you think?\"

\"… I don't know, young miss . This has gone beyond my scope of understanding . \"

Alice nodded .

\"Young miss, you are not going to believe him, right?\" Hannah stood up with a flustered expression . \"It's obvious he was lying!\"

\"Do you think so?\" Alice stared at Hannah and sighed . \"Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards believing him . \"

\"Why!?\"

\"Because he knows too much, and how can you explain that an eighteen-years-old prince can injure a god?\"

\"But–\"



\"Stop, Hannah . \" Alice shook her head . \"I know you dislike the prince, but that is not reason enough blind your judgment . Besides, if his words are right, we can't afford to ignore it . It will be meaningless to get the entire empire if the empire is destroyed . \"

. . . Sigh, I don't know what to think . Alice grabbed her forehead in confusion .

\"By the way, Uncle Aaron, how is Hannah's registration to the academy going?\" Alice suddenly asked .

\"Everything is ready . She starts next week . \"

\"Young miss!\" Hannah cried out, but Alice ignored her .

\"Perfect . Hannah, you know what your task is, right?\"

\"Young miss!!\"

\"You only need to seduce the prince . Learn about his likes and dislikes, and talk to him about me . \"

\"Young miss!!!\"

Aaron sighed at that moment . \"Young miss, if prince Claus is truly an immortal as he said, do you think this will work? He will probably see through your plans easily . \"

\"And what about it? There are so many girls with him, do you think I'm worse than them? I don't think he is the kind that rejects a meal that is served to him . \"

Aaron shook his head speechless after hearing it . He could only hope that his young miss was not biting more than she could chew .

To be honest, he simply desired to get away and retire in a place far away from this terrifying prince that almost killed him once . He was already too old for this .
