Chapter 588

The sky gradually darkened.

As the full moon hung high in the sky, the time for everyone to fall asleep quietly arrived.

Although the Imperial Capital would be very lively tonight, and there were many officials and knights rushing out of the palace, as if they were alarmed by some earth-shattering event, Harvey's room was quiet, or even lonely.

"After all, those fellows outside will not allow anyone to visit me, a prince suspected of treason."

Harvey stood in front of the window and looked at the heavily guarded knights outside the bedroom with a self-deprecating expression.

Upon closer inspection, although Harvey's expression was normal, as if he had not been mistreated, there was a pair of handcuffs on his hands.

The handcuffs were buckled on both of Harvey's wrists. They were not chained like ordinary handcuffs, so Harvey's hands could still move freely.

However, on the handcuffs, there were mysterious magical runes flickering from time to time.

Obviously, this was a pair of magical handcuffs.

Harvey sighed as he felt the tightly suppressed mana in his body being shackled by such a pair of magical handcuffs.

"With my current strength, it is impossible for me to escape from here, right?"

Even if they were able to escape from this place, they would not be able to escape from the heavily guarded imperial palace.

Therefore, Harvey's freedom no longer existed.

"How ironic."

The most powerful prince of the Empire, the heir to the throne in everyone's eyes, had fallen to such a state. It was really ironic.

However …

"It's not your style to be so self-pitying, Your Highness."

A voice suddenly rang out from behind Harweis, entering his ears. Harweis's entire body shuddered as he turned around to look at the source of the voice.

In the next second, Jarvis saw the cloaked man who had appeared here without a sound.

"You …?"

Harvey's eyes widened, and his face was filled with astonishment.

"What?" Shien curled his lips and said playfully, "You don't recognize me anymore?"

Hearing this, Harvey fell silent.

After a while, Harvey relaxed his body and let out a bitter laugh.

"You're finally here, Borztut." Harvey didn't know if he saw hope or felt ashamed. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to let you see my useless side."

Harvey's tone was filled with helplessness, but it was also filled with unprecedented relief.

Shien shrugged.

"I also didn't expect to see you in such a situation when I came here as I had promised." Shien glanced at the magic handcuffs on Harvey's hands and said casually, "It seems like you and that knight from the Bigusler Family are having a hard time recently."

"If eating and drinking well is having a good time, then I'm having a pretty good time," Harvey said helplessly, "I can only say that I've failed this time. I've underestimated that Poison Consort."

It should be said that Harvey had been careless.

He thought that he could ask for help from the kingdom by participating in the Kingdom's Treasure Selection. Little did he know that his departure was exactly what Mara wanted.

"If I hadn't left, Mo Luo wouldn't have been able to spread rumors about me and Lockett so blatantly. He wouldn't have filled the imperial capital with rumors of us collaborating with the enemy and treason."

Harvey was really helpless.

If he had been in the capital at that time, with his cautiousness and resourcefulness, there was no way he wouldn't have noticed Mo Luo's actions. He also wouldn't have allowed these rumors to spread and allowed Mo Luo's people to take the opportunity to accuse him in front of the king, gradually weakening his reputation and power.

Of course …

"If you hadn't left the Imperium and asked for reinforcements, it would've been barely possible for you to deal with the so-called Royal Concubine who bewitched your father, ousted your mother, and eventually dominated the court, wouldn't it?"

Shien pointed out Harvey's predicament.

"Indeed." Jarvis nodded in agreement and murmured, "If I didn't leave the empire and stayed in that kind of predicament for too long, I would've been killed by Mara sooner or later."

From the looks of it, the current situation was not a bad thing.

After all, rather than dying a slow death, it was better to take a gamble and look for a chance to break the stalemate.

With that thought in mind, Jarvis couldn't help but feel a lot better.

Especially with Shien's arrival, Jarvis saw the hope of breaking out of the current predicament.

Thinking of this, Jarvis spoke straightforwardly.

"You've met Lockett, haven't you? Lockett? "

According to their previous agreement, after arriving at the imperial capital, Shien should have gone to Lockett first.

"Then, you should have roughly understood the current situation from Officer Lockett, right?"

Jarvis regained his usual calmness and composure.

"That's right." Shien didn't beat around the bush and said, "I know your current situation. I also know that although Tierre has suffered some setbacks, her life is not in danger."

Thanks to this, Shien came to Jarvis first.

Otherwise, he would've searched the entire imperial capital for Tierre.

Jarvis, of course, knew how important Shien was to Tierre.

So, Jarvis said this.

"If you want to solve Tierre's predicament first, then you have to start with the Lefelut family..."

Jarvis was about to say something like this.

However, Jarvis didn't know...

"The Lefelut family is gone."

Shien interrupted him.

"Huh?"

Jarvis was stunned.

"I said, the Lefelut family is gone." Shien looked straight at Jarvis and said with a faint smile, "Why? Is there a problem? "

Jarvis was speechless.

Is there a problem?

Of course not.

You've already solved the Lefelut family, what problem could there be?

However, Jarvis still couldn't help but ask.

"Really?"

It was no wonder that Jarvis was so surprised.

One had to know that the Lefelut family was not a small force.

Although it was a family of assassins that was despised by others in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, the Lefelut family had taken root in the empire for a long time and had a high status. In addition, they had married the princesses of the imperial family several times in history, so they could barely be called the descendants of the Brave.

Such a great family, a great aristocratic family with deep roots, was it really gone?

Jarvis didn't doubt that Shien had the ability to do this, but he still felt it was unreal.

But the truth was the truth.

"In any case, I razed that gloomy abandoned house of Leffelut's to the ground." Shien said indifferently, "Of course, there should still be some fish that slipped through the net. This is inevitable."

Hearing Shien describe the destruction of the Lefelut family so casually, Jarvis felt extremely complicated.

There was no other way.

Back in the kingdom, in order to get Shien's help, His Royal Highness had personally promised to help Shien deal with the Lefelut family.

In the end, he failed to annihilate Wally, and was implicated by the Lefelut family, falling into such a situation. The Lefelut family was destroyed by Shien alone, leaving him with no place to use his power.

This made it difficult for Jarvis to say what he wanted to say next.

Because he knew that if he couldn't show his full value, then it was very likely that he and Shien would go separate ways.

Cooperation, cooperation, only when both sides were useful could it be counted as cooperation.

If he couldn't be of any use at all, and everything had to be settled by Shien himself, then what right did he have to cooperate with him and ask him to help him defeat Mara and usurp the throne?

Even if Shien's goal was to deal with Mara, even if he would go against Mara for Tierre Albein, he could totally sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. But if that happened, would he still be able to raise his head in front of this foreign nobleman who was favored by the Demonic Dragon and the Evil God in the future?

He would probably be treated as a guy who didn't know what was good for him and be blacklisted.

If that happened, the loss would be great.

Jarvis didn't think that it was so easy to take advantage of Shien, and he didn't think that he could show off in front of this person after obtaining the throne.

To be honest, he was just an emperor. In front of this person who was protected by the Demonic Dragon and the strongest Evil God, he was nothing.

If he took advantage of him and offended him for the sake of the throne, then in the future, even if he became the emperor, he probably wouldn't have it easy, right?

Thinking of this, Jarvis's thoughts turned quickly, and he finally made a decision.

"Minister Porztute." Jarvis looked straight at Shien and said, "Since you've already dealt with the Lefferut Family, will you deal with Mara's faction next?"

Shien gave an affirmative answer to this question.

"I will deal with Mara." Shien said calmly, "She is my enemy, not my friend. If possible, I really hope to sneak into her bedroom now and get rid of her."

That would be the end of everything.

But things wouldn't be so simple.

"Mara's whereabouts have always been a mystery. Sometimes he would suddenly appear in the palace, and sometimes he would leave the capital or even the empire to stir up trouble elsewhere."

Jarvis shook his head, telling Shien that this wasn't realistic.

"Over the years, she has been involved in some of the incidents that have happened in various countries in the human world. Be it the incident that happened in the capital ten years ago or the incident with Kosmos a while ago, Mo Luo has always been like this. Her whereabouts are always a mystery, and she appears everywhere. By the time someone notices her existence, she has already become the mastermind behind the scenes, stirring up many storms and creating many incidents."

From this, it could be seen how troublesome this person was.

"Her origins are a mystery, her identity is a mystery, and even her motives are a mystery. She is a vicious woman made of mysteries."

When Jarvis mentioned Mara, his tone was filled with hatred and fear.

"After so many years of dealing with her, I still can't see anything from her. All I know is that the Poison Concubine seems to hate the Hero very much, and even everything related to the Hero."

Jarvis's words made Shien frown.

"Hate the Hero very much …?"

What was the reason for this?

It seemed that this enigmatic woman had a lot of secrets.
