Chapter 127 - The Hunter And The Hunted

‘How on earth did it come to this?’

The Fifth Prince Haverion felt momentarily suffocated at what he saw.

Clearly, he was supposed to be under surveillance, yet he had just stepped into the square.

This was possible because he put in a special request through the royal knight last night.

“Even so, it’s a day for my brothers to be congratulated by everyone. Even if I can’t be the first to congratulate them as their brother, do I have to be in this remote place?”

“I will go ask His Majesty Eloin.”

The king naturally gave his permission.

Of course, it was under a condition.

“You can’t meet or talk to other people.”

But it still didn’t matter.

‘I can see my youngest brother’s distorted expression.’

This victory ceremony was a significant event for Kaistein, as the successor to the throne would be nominated on this occasion.

Haverion had a big plan cooked up for this event.

‘The youngest, who made great contributions to the Northern Expedition, will stand alone at the frontmost.’

The place that received the most light.

When Ian appeared alone amid everyone’s blessings, an incident happened.

And at that time, he had to bear the people’s wrath and curses alone.

Once the ceremony turned into mayhem, he would carry out the next plan.

But now, the scene before his eyes.

“Long live Prince Ian!”

“Long live the First Princess!”

The Fifth Prince couldn’t hide his shock when an unexpected presence appeared.

And to top it all off, the man right behind the two.

“The greatest sword on the continent!”

“The continent’s strongest knight! Long live Duke Lavaltor!”

Even Duke Lavaltor, with his characteristic stern expression, was there.

Haverion sensed that something was wrong at once.

‘This can’t be happening. I’m sure the youngest should be the only one in that position.’

The First Princess and Duke Lavaltor were supposed to be in different positions. And his plan was originally based on the assumption that Ian would be alone.
