Chapter 453 Auction trap (30)
After a long moment of silence for the second prince, the fourth prince stood up again and moved back to our formation.
He looked at one of his men and said, "Bury him properly. You are free to dispose of the rest of them as you wish."
There was no need for this person to ask who 'he' was.
There was only one person that the fourth prince could be referring to, the second prince.
His subordinates didn't ask anything else and just gave a bow before heading over to the corpses on the ground. Though they would treat the second prince's corpse differently, they still had to take care of all the corpses that were here.
The others would most likely be burnt or thrown in a ditch, the second prince would receive a small private burial plot.
After he gave this order, the fourth prince walked off without even looking back.
However, before going, he waved his hand at me as if he was telling me to follow him.
I took one last look at the second prince's corpse before following the fourth prince out of this place.
There was only silence as I followed him.
I had questions that I wanted to ask, but I could see that it wasn't the right time to ask them. The fourth prince clearly had some thoughts on his mind and it would be...wrong to ask these questions while he was in this state.
So I was waiting for an opportunity to ask what was on my mind.
That opportunity came very quickly.
The fourth prince led us to a carriage that was waiting for us.
The three of us got into the carriage and then the carriage started driving off.
In no time at all, there were people that appeared on the streets again. They were walking around, going about their normal lives like they had noticed nothing happening in this capital city.
They had no idea that such an important event had just happened.
But that wasn't important to us either since the fourth prince finally spoke.
"I'm sure that you have plenty of questions, so feel free to ask them now." The fourth prince said with a smile, but there was still a clear trace of sadness in his eyes.
I looked at him for a bit before calmly giving a nod.
Taking a deep breath, I said, "You used me, didn't you?"
There was a silence that hung in this carriage.
Shaka looked at me with a cautious look, as if he was surprised that I would be so direct with this.
However, the smile on the fourth prince's face slowly grew wider as he looked at me.
Finally, he said, "Yes, I did." n-.0Velb1n
I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this, but I quickly gave a sigh and relaxed them.
I knew that there was nothing to gain from being angry, so I just forced myself to calm down and ask, "Why?"
"Because it was necessary." The fourth prince said without a single fluctuation to his voice. There was no expression on his face, as if what he was saying was the most natural thing.
But this caused me to knit my brows slightly.
I looked at him with narrowed eyes for a bit before suddenly saying, "Even though it broke our original agreement?"
The fourth prince didn't seem bothered by this as he said, "But now you've accomplished your goal. There's no need for you to stay in the capital anymore.
No one will dare make a move against you since you were one of the ones that took down the second prince."
I knitted my brows even more when I heard this.
I didn't know how I was supposed to react to this.
One moment, the fourth prince showed remorse over killing the second prince and the next, he was stating it like it was nothing more than a fact.
This change really was just too sudden for me and I couldn't adapt.
There was a long silence that hung in the air before I said, "The crime of killing a prince isn't one that is easy to bear. Don't you think that you should have told me about this before you put your plan in action?"
The fourth prince raised a brow as he revealed a smile and said, "Would you have worked with me then?"
I deeply knitted my brows since I could hear the almost taunting tone in his voice.
He was right, I definitely wouldn't have worked with him if I knew.
After all, this was the death of a prince. This was not something that was light.
This was an event that would affect the future of this nation, an event that no one in this kingdom could avoid.
So there would be a lot of attention that would come from this.
Attention which was the last thing that I wanted.
I had only thought that this was a plan to cripple a few of the second prince's limbs, not to kill the second prince.
If I knew, I definitely wouldn't have agreed!
I took a deep breath after staring at the fourth prince for a bit and said, "Regardless of the circumstances, do you really think that it is right to lie to your allies? Or is there anything else that you're not telling me?"
The fourth prince didn't answer this question, but the smile on his face really annoyed me along with the way that he looked at me.
The way that he looked at me was almost like he had found an interesting toy.
I knew that he wouldn't stop using me for different things in the future unless I made things clear.
But before I could say anything, the fourth prince said, "It's fine as long as you receive some compensation, right?"
He leaned in and said with a smile that was like the devil's, "What kind of compensation do you want? As long as I can get it for you, you can have it."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
