Chapter 108: Turning the Hallway
Roy ran as hard as he could, ignoring the hot air that was burning his lungs. The pace is heavy due to sandy road barriers. "Master!"
Ezra and Roy turned their heads automatically, distracting them from the entourage of the townspeople who were unceasingly grateful to them. After one month, the artificial lake, brought by the third prince Igoceolon, was successfully created in several drought cities in the kingdom of Berloi. In addition, the design of the water channel has been confirmed by their respective mayors, so that the task of Ezra and his entourage is completed quickly.
Of course the prince was satisfied with the results of his efforts, the collection of credit score went smoothly, the debt of gratitude he received, his reputation also quickly spread.
Plus, he defeated Chris, the first prince who bullied himself as a child, increasing the inner satisfaction of the little vengeance. The way Chris has is effective with the many water mages he rents, but he missed the fact that the target city this time has minimal funds, he said, in addition, the contract offered by the first prince could be seen as a restraint instead of a solution.
"Why else is he?" Selena asked from behind the veil she was wearing. The girl's skin is sensitive to sunlight, so she covers almost her entire body with a cloth even though it makes her sultry and sweaty.
Roy got up to gasping for breath, he then stretched the newspaper he was carrying. The large printed title there looks striking. Attacks ****** in the Kingdom of Edodale during the Festival of Celebrations.
But what caught their attention was not only that, there was a photo listed there titled Princess Eve and Duke Frost also became victims. Seen two men surrounded by dozens of guard soldiers, the short-haired girl in the photo looks familiar. Rina.
"It turns out Rina is Eve's missing daughter!" Roy exclaimed, a speck of panic was in his voice. Since he did not know the true status of the person he was dealing with, Roy was casual towards Rina. Has he ever been disrespectful? He didn't say anything strange to the Princess?
Only Selena was surprised. The girl snatched the newspaper, scrutinizing the face printed there more observantly. "Well, right, it's Rina! But this guy isn't River?"
Roy, who felt the awkwardness of his employer and uncle's reaction, blinked confusedly, "Aren't you surprised?"
"Well, so Om was suspicious, but didn't tell me?"
This time it was Ezra who said, "You think an ordinary person can refuse a request from a prince so easily?" The man still felt bitter with the constant rejection he received.
"... What-what-"
The stuttering question was not finished, but Ezra had already responded, "Just like when I couldn't punish a presumptuous commoner when I hid my identity, Princess Eve was the same. Your ignorance is a blessing." Only then did Roy breathe a sigh of relief.
Ezra looked at every word written in the newspaper column. After reading, a new idea emerges.
Their next goal is not Edodale, but the epicenter of the outbreak that makes people act aggressively, but Ezra has honestly not found a solution to the problem. Therefore, it is better that they change direction first.
In addition to assisting Edodale in the threat of *****, he could also utilize his connections to the princess known as an alchemist. Maybe he can also get a cure for the existing outbreak.
"Let's go to Edodale."
