154 083. Ruppel Olfolse -1 Part Two

**

I stepped outside the audience chamber.

Tina remained inside to make her speech to the Aslan nobles. Although I wanted to stay and listen till the end, my body was still too exhausted to continue. The side effects from using Amon’s relics still lingered and I needed to take a good rest first.

While walking on the palace’s corridors, I glanced outside one of the windows. “Wow, so she really had that thing moved all the way out here.”

The giant tree left behind by Yggdrasil, the world tree, was now visible in the palace’s garden.

The tree with lush green colour continued radiating dense Mana everywhere as it brought nature back to life.

[The World Tree’s Branch.

Ability: a small part of the world tree that will become another world tree permeating with great nature once it fully matures. When summoning the spirits of nature, or even the tree spirit itself, it will grant a 50% Mana amplification bonus to Shamans. It will also help with maintaining the amplified Mana.]

“It’s not bad, thanks to you. Before all that, where is my brother and father?”

“They are both inside, your highness.”

“I wish to converse with them for a little while.”

“Yes, of course.”

Oscal smiled rather smoothly and opened the door. The figures of two men could be seen inside.

One of them was lying on bed, presumably asleep with the sheets pulled up over his head. He must be having a nightmare judging from how he was writhing around like that.

…Ruppel Olfolse, the Third Imperial Prince, was currently under arrest for the suspicion of high treason.

I shifted my gaze elsewhere.

“Ohh! You’re here, son? I’m telling you, traditional Aslan cuisine is really great! Sure, it’s a bit of a hostile place to live in, but there’s a good reason why this kingdom is a famous tourist attraction.”

White would no doubt be made to shoulder the responsibilities of his actions.

I cleanly ignored the roasted meat he pushed towards me and addressed him curtly, “Where have you been until now?”

“Mm? Ah, that. I’ve been here and there. Lome kingdom, Aihrance, and also…”

“Are you telling me that you’ve been on a journey?”

“That’s right.”

He nodded oh-so matter-of-factly.

How could I not get pissed off from that irresponsible answer?

To begin with, this guy left behind way too much crap for others to deal with. And I had been mopping up a sizeable portion of that.
