Revenge Journey
Chapter 26's

"My son Laren, I heard that someone sent a hit man to attack you while you were in the eastern village of the kingdom and also on the way back to the palace, is that true?"

Hm... So the king already knew about this matter? The bodyguard said it or... The king from the beginning sent eyes to watch over me while leaving? (Batin Laren)

"Right father." Said Laren while nodding

"Then do you know who sent them to attack you?"

"It... Laren doesn't know father."

"Laren, this is what I learned when I overheard a conversation between the bodyguards who had previously come with you to the eastern village of the kingdom." Obviously the king

So the king learned from the conversations of the guards, not from the eyes. (Batin Laren)

"Why didn't you tell me about it earlier than my son?"

Laren was silent for a moment and thought what answer should be given to the king about the incident of the hitman.

"So... Actually Laren did not want to say this incident to the father, because he did not want to make the father worried. Sorry father."

"Hmm so it's like that, it doesn't matter my son. But the next time you experience something like this then you have to tell me so I can help you." Said the king while patting slowly Laren's shoulder

"Okay father."

This child is always worried about me, what a very devoted child. (Into the king)

"When you were attacked by those hit men, did you hurt my son?"

"Laren wasn't hurt at all, but Laren suspected that the assassin's goal wasn't just to kill Laren."

"What's? Then what else is the hidden purpose of those hit men?" Ask the king in curiosity

"In addition to wanting to kill Laren, it looks like the hit men want to thwart Laren's attempt to solve the plague that exists in the kingdom's eastern village."

"Stop the outbreak problem? Are you sure Laren?" Said the king in surprise

"It's still Laren's guess, because according to Laren if by killing Laren it can stop Laren's investigation of the plague in the kingdom's eastern village." Laren

"Your guess does make sense to Laren." Speak to the king while thinking

"In addition, it can reduce one of the princes in the kingdom. So you could say this plan is like killing two birds with one stone." Laren

"Reduce one of the princes in the kingdom? You mean... This is the deed of one of the princes in this kingdom?" Said the king in astonishment

The king can eat my bait right away, this is good. But this is too soon, if I agree with the words of the king then the king will also be suspicious of me. Father could have considered myself wanting to shift the position of the other princes. (Batin Laren)

"No, that's not what Laren's father meant. Laren's point is most likely that it is another enemy of our kingdom, because with the reduction of the prince of the kingdom it is the same that the power of the kingdom will be reduced as well." Laren

"Hmm so it's like that." Said the king while nodding slowly

Laren, did he really not mean to blame the other princes? Does he not want to feel better before me and shift the position of the other princes to get the position of crown prince?Many people want this position. (Into the king while looking at Laren)

"Well then Laren has delivered everything Karen wants to say. If there's nothing else, then Laren's permission to leave father." Said Laren while standing up

"Well Laren's father understood, then Laren pamit pampur retreat father." Laren then bowed and was nodding back by the king

Laren then stepped away from the king's room, after which Laren returned to his residence in the palace and went straight into his room.

"Rayden's." Call Laren

"Hamba here prince." Rayden's new reply appeared before Laren

"Yesterday there's something you want to say to me, isn't there? Say it now."

"Okay, I want to give you a report according to your noble command."

"Say."

"A few days ago, Prince Stellan showed suspicious gestures. So I went to follow him and told my men to watch over the other princes in the palace. After I followed Prince Stellan I found out if prince Stellan hired a hitman, but I don't know who the hitman was for." Rayden explained

"Hmm it was true that Prince Stellan sent the assassin, what a concern." Said Laren while grinning

"Yesterday I overheard the guards' conversation about someone wanting to harm the prince, does this have anything to do with Prince Stellan?"

"Of course, because prince Stellan did hire a hitman to kill me and foil the problem-solving efforts in the kingdom's eastern village." Reply Laren

"What's? But why would Prince Stellan do that?" Rayden asked in surprise

"Of course, to keep his good name awake, if I manage to complete this task then prince Stellan's pride will go down as he negligently abandons his royal duties and his duties are completed by another prince even younger than him."

"The prince is right, but if that's not how Prince Stellan would suspect the prince?"

"No, because he made my death seem to be due to the plague in the eastern village of the kingdom, not to murder."

"That's cute. But prince where do you know all this information?"

"When the assassin came, there was one of the eye guards belonging to prince Stellan. I caught him and asked about the information."

"Hmm so that's how it is, then do you let go of the person?"

"I killed him." Reply Laren briefly

"What?! Wouldn't it be better if he made our eyes prince?"

"No, he leaked the secret about Prince Stellan to me. So it doesn't rule out the possibility that he'll leak my secret to a future enemy if he's my man."

"Prince is right." Rayden said as he nodded slowly

The prince is very long-minded, this is very different from the prince Laren I used to know. (Inner Rayden)

"So prince do you want to avenge prince Stellan?"

"Of course, everyone who bothered me had to be repaid many times over. But for prince Stellan I should also thank him for sending the hit man." Said Laren while grinning

"Thank you? But why prince?" Rayden asked confusedly because of Laren's remark
