Chapter 85.1 - What A Windfall

The crown prince’s eyes shook.

Only then did it come to mind.

‘B… bet?’

It was a bet made with taking the emperor’s knee as a joke. Of course, he didn’t know yet that Ian had found the culprit. However, contact with his subordinate, Yeong, was cut off.

Then it was clear that the Seventh Prince must have found something related to the culprit underground.

‘If so, the bet is my loss.’

Originally, he would have waited for that man to bring the culprit. However, he didn’t manage to do so because he was in a hurry to move. Hence, of course, it was his defeat.

The problem was…

‘I… have to swear allegiance to the seventh prince of a kingdom?’

It would never happen.

However, the crown prince had a livid look on his face.

It’s too early to give up.

‘I even betted on the emperor’s knees. Do you think I’ll give up just like this?’

It was natural for him to think so.

They might not know it, but Ian wasn’t safe right now.

In addition, Lavaltor could also be in peril at the same time.

Therefore, the crown prince spoke triumphantly.

“Unfortunately, I won the bet.”

“Oh?”

“And I advise you as my ally. If you don’t hurry, the Seventh Prince will be in danger.”

And now he had to stall the time for that. There was only one thing the crown prince could do.

Dump!

He fell down.

Lavaltor’s soldiers rushed in surprise at the sight.

“The crown prince has fallen!”

“Medics! Come here! Hurry up!”

Even if he was a hostage, he was the crown prince of the empire. Due to such a personage falling, the procession stopped on the spot, and the medics started rushing to the crown prince.

If anything were to go wrong with his life, the relationship between the two countries would deteriorate.

While the medics were busy rushing in.

The crown prince, who pretended to faint, closed his eyes with a triumphant smile.

His whole body began to ache because of the strange liquid, but that didn’t matter now.
