Revenge Journey
Chapter 32's

"I wonder why the queen dotes on other princes more than the real Laren. Logically the original prince Laren was the daughter of the empress and must have pure royal blood, but why would he love the son of a concubine and ignore the real prince Laren?" Said Laren in surprise

"Maybe you'll find the answer if you've met him sir."

"Hmm you're right, but do I have a chance to meet her?"

"Of course, sir, if the news of your recovery has reached the ears of the queen mother, she will surely come to see you."

"Hmm maybe." Said Laren while nodding slowly

Three days later, Laren was about to leave for the imperial palace along with Rayden and a few other bodyguards.

"Rayden's." Call Laren

"Yes prince, you command?"

"Do you have a confidant here?"

"Of course, your honor." Reply Rayden

"Then you order him to watch the situation in this palace as long as I go to the imperial palace, especially those princes. As for you, come with me to the imperial palace." Laren's Order

"Good prince."

Rayden went away briefly to carry out the order given by Laren, Laren went up to his train and waited for Rayden.

Rayden soon returned, and rode his horse straight to the imperial palace.

The king and prince Altezza led Laren to the gate of his palace.

"Laren, you're careful." Said the king while approaching Laren's carriage

"Okay father." Reply Laren while nodding

"You should always be vigilant. 'Maybe' someone will stop or just interrupt your journey." The king's whisper to Laren

Laren's eyes immediately widened when he heard the whisper from the king.

Is... Is your father warning me of something? Does your father know something? (Laren's Inner thought)

"Well then, go and be careful of my son." Said the king then slightly away from Laren's carriage

"good. Then Laren permits to leave father." Said Laren and was nodding back by the king

You!! Just wait for Laren, I will never allow you to snatch the position of heir to the throne from me. Just look at what the consequences will be if you dare to face and fight me. (The inner prince Altezza while giving off a slight killing aura)

Laren who was about to depart accidentally looked towards the Altezza prince and felt his killing aura.

So the heart's intention is to face Altezza's brother, well I'll see how you're capable. (Laren satin with a grin)

Laren also left along with Rayden and several other guards, while still in the area around the palace everything was still going well.

But after an hour's drive, and Laren also his entourage had gone out of the palace area there was a group of people dressed all in black surrounded Laren's entourage from the front and back.

"Stop!" Say one of those people

"Who are y'all? Dare to stop prince Laren's journey." Said one of Laren's bodyguards

"Give your prince over!" Said the man while pointing his sword towards Laren's bodyguards

"No way!"

"Then no need for further ado, attack them all and take their prince."

"Good!"

Inside the rested Laren train was awakened by the noise ahead, and finally asked Rayden what was happening.

"Rayden, why so much noise?"

"Prince? There's a group of people who're blocking our journey prince." Reply Rayden

"What?"

So this is the warning that father meant. (Batin Laren)

Laren closed his eyes and opened his sky eyes to find out the number of enemies.

10 Very professional assassins, and 5 archers who had been prepared with their arrows hid in the trees. It looks like Prince Altezza sent a very professional hitman instead of the hit man sent by the other two princes. (Batin Laren while observing what is seen through his celestial eyes)

"Rayden you take care of them lest our journey be obstructed because of that group of people." Laren's Order

"Good prince." Rayden then wanted to advance to attack the assassins

"Wait a minute Rayden."

"What's the prince?" Rayden stopped his steps

"When you attack them, be careful on this side... Since there's an archer ready to shoot you at any time, don't let yourself get hurt." Said Laren while showing some direction

Whahuh? How could the prince possibly know the archer hiding in the trees? I can't even feel their aura. (Batin Rayden was astonished by Laren's words)

Rayden goes and attacks the assassin, and there are several assassins who die at Rayden's hands.

While attacking the assassin, Rayden saw one of them glancing in a direction, and suddenly a sharp arrow shot towards him.

Rayden quickly dodged the arrow, because of the warning from Laren earlier so that Rayden was more alert to the place shown by Laren.

It was true that there were archers hiding behind the trees, but how could the prince know this? (Inner Rayden astonished)

After that, Rayden captures the leader of the hitman and then takes him before Laren for interrogation.

Now the hand of the assassin has been tied by Rayden and faced towards Laren with a kneeling position.

"Say. Who took care of you to get in my way?" Laren asked with a sharp eye

"Huh, I would never say that."

Because thinking if it can not be separated from Laren, the assassin was finally drinking the poison that he had slipped on his tongue.

In an instant the hit man took out the foam on his mouth and then died.

"Cih... The same trick again." Laren was upset

Not long after it finished killing all the assassins that existed, there were some people who came to approach Laren.

One of them rode on a white horse, once close enough to see if they were troops from the imperial palace.

"Hail prince Laren." Said someone riding the horse

"Who are you? And how do you know about me?" Ask Laren

"I am an emissary of the main imperial palace, I am in command to pick up and guard the prince of Laren from here to the imperial palace." Say that guy

"Well then, if you may know what your name is?" Ask Laren

"I am general Zang Shiao, you can call me general Zang."

"All right, general Zang."
