Lafeier walked hurriedly, as if going to find someone. He took out his phone and looked for the encrypted contact in his address book.
Just as he was about to make contact, Chadan's loud shouts and hysterical curses came from the front: "You bastards will die a terrible death!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Unless you kill all of my Karolin clan today, as long as there is still someone alive in our Karolin clan, even if we have to try our best, we will expose what you have done today to the public. By then, your Howard clan will be despised and hated by everyone," Chadan yelled.
"Those who have historically conspired for power and usurped the throne have never had a good ending. I'm just waiting for the day you reap what you sow! You will surely die a terrible death! Definitely!"
As Lafeier walked over, he saw Chadan being intercepted by soldiers at the door. Chadan's eyes were bloodshot with hatred, cursing Lai En, while struggling constantly trying to rush out of the door to perish together with Lai En.
In just one day, Chadan had gone from the Crown Prince, to the heir apparent, then to a rebel and a murderer. He had become a prisoner.
Lai En stood there with both hands in his pants pockets, with the composure of a victor, enjoying Chadan's outburst.
Lai En corrected him, "Today in this palace hall, the only rebel who murdered the monarch is you, Chadan Karolin."
Chadan: "Even in death, I will not let you go!"
Lai En said, "Death is not necessary. The monarch and his subjects are one family. How could we drive your whole clan to extinction? Although the Crown Prince will inevitably be imprisoned, your family members will be fine. With so many years of relationship here, if we wanted to force the Karolin clan to death, we would not have withdrawn the media reporters earlier in the hall, and you would have been taken away by the police chief already."
Chadan spat on the ground, "Relationship? Don't make it sound so nice. Aren't you just afraid that people will find out that the royal family is fighting for power, that your Howard clan is plotting and usurping the throne?"
Lai En hmm-ed and nodded, "Your mind is still a little clear, not crazy yet. Although the Crown Prince is incompetent, his resilience is still good. After all, you were the Crown Prince, the first in line to inherit the throne. Yet you lost it effortlessly to a foreigner of Hua Country descent, oh no, not lose it, but your Karolin clan begged and forced people to take it, begging him to marry the princess and handing over the royal power. It's really embarrassing for the great Karolin family that you can't even find a capable person among you!"
"Living under Duke Lin's halo since you were young must have been painful for the Crown Prince, right?"
Chadan: "You...!"
Lai En said, "But you don't have to feel pain anymore, because you personally got rid of him. You must feel very gratified in your heart, right?"
Gratified? He probably regretted it so much that his guts turned green now.
Chadan was so angry at Lai En's cold ridicule that his blood rushed to his head and his vision went dark.
Lai En said, "It's about time. I have to go check if those disobedient people have learned to behave now."
Lai En looked at the stunned Chadan with a laugh and turned to leave. He happened to catch a glimpse of his father walking away in the other direction.
Just as Lai En was about to call out to his father, he stopped and quietly followed behind.
Lai En followed his father to the third floor. All of the royal family members were on the first and second floors. The old king and his family were detained separately in rooms. The third floor was quiet without any attendants or servants in sight.
Why did his father secretly come here alone? Judging from his hurried look, did he have an important matter or person to attend to?
In the quiet space, from quite a distance away, Lai En heard his father's familiar voice asking, "Did it succeed on Lin Guli's side?"
Lai En stopped at the corner. He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be no news from Lin Guli's side. The one his father sent to assassinate Lin Guli, did his father not receive any updates?
Was his father talking to his own subordinate?
No, the master would not come to find the subordinate.
And so furtively at that.
The voice that responded to his father was equally familiar to Lai En, "I was just about to find you."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lai En stared wide-eyed in surprise - this voice was exactly the same as his father's.
It made Lai En feel like his father was talking to himself.
Lai En's spine chilled instantly, breaking out in goosebumps. He desperately wanted to poke his head out to take a look....
And he did just that...
