When Prince Harrison walked out of the bathroom, a maid hurriedly came forward to help him wipe off the water droplets.
Having grown up in Phoenix Palace, Prince Harrison had long been used to being served by maids. He wouldn't be as pretentious as Colin. Of course, he wouldn't do anything ambiguous to a maid.
As a prince, he wasn't that desperate.
After putting on his formal attire, Prince Harrison let the maid apply perfume on him.
"What time is the banquet?"
"I'll go ask for you."
"Okay."
After the maid left, Prince Harrison looked in the mirror and adjusted his formal attire.
After a moment, he finally revealed a satisfied smile.
But just as he was about to turn around, Prince Harrison was shocked to find that there was an additional figure in the mirror!
However, after seeing that person's face clearly, Prince Harrison immediately let out a sigh of relief.
He turned around and asked, "Uncle Rhy, why are you in White Dew City?"
Prince Harrison actually wasn't afraid of Prince Rhy.
Although everyone believed that this person had committed a heinous crime by brazenly killing a consul of the empire, Prince Harrison had accidentally overheard a conversation between his parents and knew that Prince Rhy had been wronged.
Therefore, Prince Harrison actually felt a trace of guilt and sympathy towards this uncle of his.
Prince Rhy sat down at the table, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of flower tea.
"I'm chasing after someone. Didn't you go to Silvermoon City? Why are you here? "
"I'm following my teacher here. You still don't know, but my teacher is amazing! He led a mere twenty thousand Bloody Cavalry and defeated the entire Eastern Army. If not for my father's war order being passed to White Dew City, I'm afraid this city would have fallen again! "
Prince Harrison used an incomparably proud tone to praise his teacher's glorious achievements. Only then did he notice the first sentence that Prince Rhy had just said.
"Uncle Rhy, you said that you're chasing after someone? Who are you chasing after? "
Prince Rhy took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "The person who set me up."
Prince Harrison's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became nervous.
Because Prince Harrison did not know the whole truth, nor did he know Mister Cassel's role in this matter, when he heard Prince Leahy say that he was tracking down the people who had framed him, he mistakenly thought that he was referring to Emperor Reinhardt and Empress Mydella.
Prince Harrison's strange behavior naturally couldn't escape Prince Rhy's eyes.
"Harrison, do you know something?"
"Uncle, I … I …"
Prince Harrison panicked under Prince Lacy's sharp gaze.
Of course, this made Prince Rhy even more certain that his nephew obviously knew some inside information.
Thus, he stood up and walked in front of Prince Harrison. He placed a hand on Prince Harrison's shoulder and bowed slightly.
"Harrison, tell me what you know."
Prince Harrison felt as if the hand on his shoulder had grabbed his soul, and a shudder that originated from the depths of his heart swept through his entire body.
But he still clenched his teeth and said resolutely, "Uncle … I can't … betray Father and Mother …"
Prince Rhy had a mocking expression. "Your willpower is not bad, but it's a pity you used it in the wrong place. Has the San Lorenzo family fallen to the point where they have to rely on schemes and schemes to maintain their rule? "
Prince Harrison's entire body trembled, and sweat poured down like rain, but he still stubbornly kept his mouth shut.
Prince Rhy's expression became colder and colder.
"Your father has already disgraced the glory of the San Lorenzo family. I didn't expect you to be the same kind of person. Sooner or later, the prestige of the royal family will be completely destroyed by you and your father!
No! I can't allow such a thing to happen … "
Prince Rhy's eyes revealed an undisguised killing intent as he continued.
"Harrison, I'll give you one last chance. Die despicably or live honorably. Choose for yourself!"
Prince Harrison felt the hand on his shoulder clench tighter and tighter, as if it was going to crush his body.
This young prince was facing a choice between life and death for the first time. And he never expected that the person who would force him into a corner would be his own uncle!
Something in his heart seemed to crumble and shatter at this moment.
Prince Harrison suddenly thought of something his mother, Empress Mydella, had said to him.
A king is destined to be lonely, and also destined to be surrounded by lies and betrayals. Even your closest kin might not be trustworthy. You can only rely on yourself!
Prince Harrison had always felt that his mother's words were a little too frightening, but now, facing his murderous uncle, he suddenly came to a realization.
"Yes, Uncle. You were framed!" Prince Harrison used all his strength to growl.
Prince Rhy's expression softened, but he still continued to ask, "Who framed me?"
"It was Father and Mother!"
"How did they frame you?"
"I really don't know. I just happened to overhear a few words of their conversation and guessed that you were innocent. As for how they framed you, I really don't know. "
Prince Rhy stared into Prince Harrison's eyes. After a while, he seemed to have finally confirmed that Prince Harrison was not lying.
"Then, are you willing to share what you know with the public?"
Prince Harrison hesitated for a moment, but then gritted his teeth and nodded.
Only then did Prince Lacy retract his fierce aura and smile, "Very good! That was what a righteous San Lorenzo should do! I will contact His Holiness to arrange a hearing. At that time, you … "
At this point, Prince Rhy suddenly paused.
This was because he had sensed an intense wave of Holy Light erupting nearby!
In a moment of desperation, Prince Rhy immediately threw Prince Harrison aside and disappeared from the room in a flash.
Prince Harrison collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily. He couldn't muster any strength at all.
After a long while, he finally struggled to get up, found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter with trembling hands.
"Men, men!"
A maid pushed the door open and entered. "Your Highness, what orders do you have?"
Prince Harrison handed the letter over and said, "Send this letter to Imperial Dragon City immediately!"
"Yes." The maid nodded, but after seeing Prince Harrison's sorry state, she carefully asked, "Your Highness, do you need me to prepare a new set of clothes for you?"
"Yes."
…
On the other side, Prince Rhy rushed into Colin's room after chasing the source of the Holy Light, only to find that Colin was lying in a pool of blood.
After carefully sensing the remaining energy waves in the air, Prince Rhy's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce.
"Who are you?!"
The guards of the House of Saint Prospero finally arrived and shouted at Prince Rhy's back.
Prince Rhy, of course, did not care about these guards. He jumped out of the open window without looking back.
Only then did the guards notice Colin lying in a pool of blood. They were immediately scared out of their wits.
"Quick! Get a priest! Count Angele was assassinated! "
