184 098. Third Imperial Prince's Wish Part Two

**

I greeted Harman with a bright expression.

He made a puzzled face while asking me, “Your highness, what are you doing?”

“Oh, this? I’m just getting that Aztal rune or whatever it’s called tattooed on me.”

Of course, it was just a portion of the runes.

I had gathered bits and pieces of Mikael’s torn-apart corpse and copied the rune letters, showed them to Hans, and asked him to research it. And after about a month of intense research, he finally figured out an extremely small portion of the runic symbols.

I asked Hans, “How long do you think you’ll need to decipher the rest?”

He pushed up the goggles on his face, placed the tweezers on the bowl containing holy water, and glanced at the document with runes written on it. “Even if it’s an imitation, it still boasts a considerably complex structure, your highness.”

The corner of my eyes caught the figure of Harman, who had been eavesdropping in my and Hans’ conversation, walking over to the window.

He cautiously studied the atmosphere in the room before asking me, “Your highness, have you heard the news yet?”

I looked back at him. “What news?”

“The one regarding the Second Crown Princess Consort, your highness.”

I got up from the chair and walked to the window Harman was using to stare at the outside.

At the moment, First Imperial Prince Luan was heading to where that woman was. In addition, White had also been released from prison so that he could accompany his son.

They were leading one of the five forces of the empire, the ‘Heavenly Army’. The whole procession was marching bravely out of the imperial palace and the capital itself.

I muttered, “They’re heading to the kingdom of Lome, aren’t they?”

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Harman nodded silently.

I mean, the two people who genuinely hated the Second Crown Princess Consort had already stepped up to the plate here. Well, sure, White might end up dithering about being unable to decide, but I was certain that Luan would unhesitantly cut her head off on the spot.

Harman stared at me for a while before saying something else, “Actually, your highness… I came to see you because there’s a matter related to the current event that I’d like to discuss with you.”

I shifted my gaze over to him.

“The Third Imperial Prince, Ruppel… He wishes to have an audience with you, your highness.”

“My brother? What for?”

Actually, I could guess that one pretty easily too.

I smacked my lips.

Now that an excuse made itself available, maybe it’d be a good idea to pay him a visit. I mean, the Third Imperial Prince didn’t have all that long to live anyways.
