133. The Truth that is Reversed

“Sorry, your Highness the Crown Prince, you must not come out of this room.” The Second Prince was stopped by the guards as he was about to leave his room.

“Why can't it? My father was killed by someone and even saw the body, I can't?” The Second Prince could not help his frustration and sadness of being confined in a room alone when his only remaining parents were now being murdered in a sadistic manner.

It was at this time that Prince Qodis, the uncle of the Second Prince, came to visit him.

“Uncle?” The Second Prince looked at his uncle.

Immediately the uncle ran and embraced the body of his nephew.

“Oh, Ivan, thank goodness you're okay. I've heard everything. Forgive Uncle for being so busy playing outside without knowing is a big deal going on in the kingdom. My brother is a good king. Who would kill him.” With sobbing, Prince Qodis uttered his sentence sobbing.

“No, it's not Uncle's fault, really. Who would have guessed that something like this could happen inside the heavily guarded palace.” The Second Prince's reply was accompanied by a divorce for his uncle's attention.

“Sorry, your highness Prince Qodis. You are not allowed to visit the royal family murder suspect at this time.” Said one of the guards breaking the blue meeting between the uncle and nephew.

“Ohoooo! How dare you be rude to the royal family, you lackey lowly.” Snapped Prince Qodis to the bodyguard who tried to drive him away.

“Sorry, your highness Prince Qodis. Servant only carries out the order to strictly escort the suspected murder of the king and the former crown prince.”

“Plak!” Prince Qodis slapped the watchman in the face.

“How dare you accuse my beloved niece of murdering her own father and brother. Nor has it been confirmed the body of Bistan, how dare you say that my nephew is dead, huh!”

Seeing Prince Qodis' heightened emotions, the superintendent of the guards came to him apologizing and tried to explain the situation to Prince Qodis so that he could cooperate.

“Huh, a lowly base that only costs the country money. They may accuse the future king himself of being the murderer of his own family. Ivan, just relax. Uncle make sure to release you immediately from the charges.”

Prince Qodis to Prince Ivan. Prince Ivan sincerely thanked him and Prince Qodis immediately disappeared from the place.

Adrian finally uncovers the mystery of the mission that was sent to Kaiser and Arskad accompanied by video evidence that he recorded. It all points to the same man, Prince Bistan, the former crown prince.

Kaiser, Arskad, as well as the others were able to witness how the Prince of Bistan changed shape to resemble a demon after absorbing the life energy from a woman. It was fortunate that Adrian immediately came to the place to stop Prince Bistan. Otherwise, the woman would have also breathed her last breath along with the other victims.

“This is cruel. So the First Prince is doing this kind of thing?” Kaiser could not help his surprise to see the heinous massacre perpetrated by the Prince of Bistan to which all his victims were his own men.

“I do not expect that the mysterious death of the citizens of the capital and also the curse that befell the three kingdoms in the west that killed almost all of its inhabitants, all caused by the First Prince.” Professor Dios added his comment.

“If I am alone, I don't care because they are all just NPCs. As long as we can complete our respective missions, then that is enough for me.” Said Adrian flatly.

“I was a little disappointed with the Second Prince who kept all this a secret and he even acted as if nothing had happened. I thought he was a benefactor who willingly took to the outskirts of the kingdom to clean up the scattered remains of the fateful tragedy. Of course at least he should do it if he still has a conscience because all this is caused by his own brother.”

“Truly cruel even if it is for the sake of defending the country, but to the point of sacrificing millions of civilian lives.” Then Arthur added.

“Yes, you mustn't blame the Second Prince too much for this. More than anyone else, I know the pain he is suffering the most. He was just trying hard not to show it. After all the former crown prince did all this unilaterally without the knowledge of the Second Prince.” Adrian seemed to defend the Prince who during his time in the world, continued to be guarded with all his heart.

“Well, whatever it is, it's time to reveal the truth in public.”

“Wait, Brother Kaiser. I want the part about the former crown prince causing the tragedy of the curse in three neighboring kingdoms in the west to be kept secret in public. Otherwise, there will be a crisis in this Amora Kingdom. And as a result, I will not be able to carry out my mission to make the Second Prince ascend the throne.”

“Hahs. This is actually very contrary to my conscience. Fortunately, this only happens in the game world. If this is in real life, then I definitely won't let it.” Against Adrian's statement, Kaiser can only sigh resignedly while following Adrian's will

“So Sister agrees?” Tanya Adrian confirmed.

“What else do you want? Most importantly now, we can all get out of this world safely. Others agree, right?”

At Kaiser's question confirming, everyone nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, at the place where the Second Prince was temporarily detained.

“Release! What are you guys doing?! Although I am now a suspect, you must remember that my status remains as crown prince of this kingdom! Your act of dragging me forcibly like this is tantamount to insulting the kingdom!” The Second Prince snapped angrily as the overseers who should only be assigned to watch over him were now treating him roughly, like the prisoners of commoners.

However, the overseers did not care at all about it and instead dragged the crown prince even more violently like dragging a stray dog. One of them, who appeared to be in his higher post, showed the royal letter to the poor crown prince.

“This?” The Second Prince asked in disbelief.

“Yes, the senate has decided that you are demoted as crown prince and replaced by your brother, Prince Adoles. Your status as a prince was officially revoked with a letter signed by the Prince, no, I mean the noble Crown Prince Adoles. The bodyguard! Drag that nista villain into the kingdom's deepest dungeon!”

“Ready execute command!” The soldiers obeyed the command of their commander and dragged the Second Prince like a stray dog.

In that prison, it seemed that someone had been waiting for him impatiently. He was the 299th executioner of a dungeon inmate who caused the state of the dungeon to be in an uproar with the mysterious disappearance of several prisoners there. It was Lu Shou, the last member of the volunteer team to the virtual world.

Of course, the guards of the dungeon did not care about it all because it was none of their business that the outcast prisoner was dead or not. After all, no one would look for those miserable prisoners that all members of his family would forget.

“Yo, Second Prince. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's start having fun.” Lu Shou said viciously as he stared at the pitiful face full of the second prince's wounds.
