The first prince wasn't that worried since he already somehow guess that this might happen, which was why he sent more men and hired mercenaries to help out . Yet it has been a few days since anyone reported to him . It was obvious that his people didn't want to meet him with nothing to show for, but still not reporting for four days straight was not good as well .
The first prince Reynold could only sigh as he waited for some news . He needed this to end faster since his brother the second prince was finally making a move .
'I wonder what that coward will do this time? . . . Also I've been wondering why he made our little sister the sword princess go on a wild goose chase . It is possible that this might all be distractions for the real plan . '
AdvertisementWhile Reynold was thinking about what to do with his little brother, he heard someone knock on the door, and spoke the password . Once one of Reynold's guards heard the password he opened the door . The person who entered was Erick one of the six close aides of the prince .
"Have you accomplished your mission?" Erick bowed his head when he heard his liege ask this question . He didn't want to return empty handed but he had no choice, since he knew that his liege would be wondering why no one was reporting .
"Unfortunately we have lost track of him . The knights under my and Henrick's command have been afflicted by a mind spell, they have forgotten what has happened for the past few days . We assumed that Valdel was in the area, where the knights lost their memories, but after searching the whole area there was no sign of him . "
Hearing what Erick had to say, Reynold frowned a bit . Erick hasn't lifted his head the entire conversation, but if he did and he saw the frown on his liege's face he would've propose to kill himself .
"Is he that powerful?"
"No my liege, when the five of us fought Valdel we sensed how powerful he is . The amount of knights that chased after him were too much even for the five of us to handle . So he either fought them by a set number of people and wiped their memory, or someone extremely powerful aided him . "
"Are you thinking Ren did this?" Erick once again shook his head before answering .
"He is the most probable person to do this, but I don't think he was the one who did so . Based on the information we had gathered about the person named Ren, he wouldn't have just erased the memories of the knights, he would've annihilated them . This means while on the hunt for Valdel a third party intervened . "
"A third party?"

"Yes it would seem that Valdel has an enormous amount of luck . It is possible that while on the run, he met a random master that help him . "
"Isn't that too much of a coincidence? . . . Hmmm, but still he does seem to be a person that has a ridiculous amount of luck . Gaining that magic weapon, meeting my father and gaining his favor, having a friend like Ren, escaping the encirclement . Yes he does seem to have a ludicrous amount of luck . . . Tsk, still I don't have time for this . "
Reynold looked at his faithful subordinate and sighed .
"Erick I need you to come with me, since my brother the second Prince plans to hold a banquet to celebrate the return of Captain Ross . Currently Captain Ross has a neutral standing, but it would seem that my second brother thinks he can make him join his side . I must stop him from doing this, if he gains Captain Ross, he would easily gain the favor of most of the common soldiers . So for now I want you to tell Henrick to continue the search on his own . While you and the others shall accompany me back to the capital . "
"It will be as you wish my liege . " Erick stood up and left the room . Reynold who was left alone with one of his guards sighed . Nothing seems to be going as planned .
'Well if I can't overcome such challenges then becoming king of this kingdom will be impossible, much less being a conquering king . Very well I will show everyone how I will overcome this challenge and prove I am the rightful king of all . '
