Chapter 123 - Divine Power

Bring in Duke Lavaltor?

The royal guard knight who heard Ian’s command was stunned.

It was only understandable.

“Are you sure you meant Duke Lavaltor? Not Sir Fiosen?”

“That’s right.”

“!”

The knight was at a loss for words.

Even though his job usually revolved around protecting the royal family, he had heard rumors circulating outside.

However, no matter how close the Seventh Prince and the duke were, Duke Lavaltor was not a man who could be summoned at will.

There was no way he could call Duke Lavaltor out for helping him with a few things so far.

‘If anything, wouldn’t it be a relief if he didn’t respond with a snort?’

But Ian seemed to have guessed the knight’s thoughts.

“If you say I call him, he will come.”

“You’re kidding, aren’t you?”

Ian smiled instead of responding. That smile gave the knight a sense of unease, and he could only nod with a sour face.

Perhaps the prince would finally understand once he received a refusal.

The knight left to carry out Ian’s order.

“Very well, I will convey your message.”

“Go ahead.”

Ian looked at the knight’s retreating figure, and his expression chilled.

His gaze was not directed at the knight but at Duke Lavaltor he would soon meet.

‘He must know something.’

He, who usually assisted King Eloin at close proximity, must have known.

The king put his trust in him even when he didn’t trust others. That was all the more reason Ian had to see him.

But he needed to prepare just in case.

Ian ordered Galon in a cold voice.

“Get ready to enter the palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Galon bowed his head as if it were only natural, but the royal messenger standing nearby didn’t seem to share the same sentiment.

With a surprised look, the messenger asked.

“Weren’t you going to return for the preparation of the victory ceremony?”
