198 106. Lomania -1 Part One

I would’ve never imagined that this fool was someone this honest to his desires.

However, that made things extra easy for me. So much so that I ended up feeling hollow inside, after realising that running into the First Prince was indeed just a waste of my time.

I looked down at Derian who was still on the floor and grinned deeply.

“Thanks to your ambition, things have become a lot easier now,” said I before calling for Luan to come closer to me so that I could ask him a question, “Where is the Heavenly Army situated now, big brother?”

“As you’ve requested, they are in the middle of their preparation to move out to the border region. However, as it is now, they are still stationed near Lomania in case of an emergency.”

Now that’s good to hear. Excellent, even.

I nodded theatrically. “That’s perfect! In that case, big brother.”

“…?”

“The thing is, I can see it.” I pointed to my eyes and then pointed at Derian next. “This bastard is the collaborator currently giving shelter to the Vampires and Second Crown Princess Consort, Rose.”

“…Is this true?”

Luan glared at Derian. The Second Prince of Lome with a deeply pale face seemed to be urgently pondering what to say here.

What a relief it was that the fool was so poor at hiding his emotions.

Luan’s brows shot up after confirming Derian’s face, and he looked back at me. “Hold on, Allen. Could it be that not only you can detect Vampires, you can also recognise their collaborators?”

I shook my head.

[Mind’s Eye] wasn’t omnipotent. It was impossible to distinguish someone that perfectly. However, I could still see how much their innermost ‘thoughts’ were leaning towards their desires.

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

This would be the first time since my fight against Nasus the Lich that the attribute window openly displayed the target’s ambition.

If this was Mikael from the Church of Caiolium, for instance, I wouldn’t have thought that he was an enemy in hiding.

Luan tilted his head this way and that.

I smiled brightly and stared back at him. “Just like what I did back in the imperial palace, I’d like to… sort this place out as well.”

When I said ‘sort out’, I wasn’t obviously talking about anything complicated.

I now knew that Derian was connected to the Vampires. Which meant that the Theocratic Empire’s authority could now be fully unleashed despite it still being inside the Lome Kingdom.

I shall ferret out Rose and the Vampires hiding within this place. And then, we shall investigate in-depth what the hell they had been aiming for here.

Luan made a slightly awkward face. “If that’s what you want, it’ll be done. However, do remember that this isn’t our imperial palace. If we haphazardly mobilise our forces…”

“Oh, that? That will be taken care of once we get Prince Derian’s cooperation.” I shifted my gaze to Charlotte, who was standing near the office’s doorway. “Charlotte?”

“Yes, your highness.”

Charlotte furrowed her brows deeply at that.
