Chapter 416 - 366 : The Princes Visi (1/2)
West of Green-Leaf, precisely in the wasteland, a royal airship just appeared above Kang Amidel's city. Its golden radiance and majestic aura attracted a lot of attention. Everyone knew that someone from the Royal family came here, as for what reason, nobody could guess.
Amidel personally welcomed the visitor, a friendly smile plastered on his face. He politely bowed to Isadore before guiding him to his castle.
”It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness.”
”Oh stop with the polite talk, I feel like vomiting each time I hear you.”
Isadore waved his hand in annoyance while sitting opposite to Amidel. They can be considered acquaintances and their relationship aren't harmonious but they can't be considered enemies either.
Hearing the prince talk like that, Amidel laughed but didn't say anything. After fully enjoying and savoring the hot tea he was served, Isadore looked at this unusually calm man, who still hasn't asked him for the reason of his visit, and said
”I came here to ask a favor from you.”
Amidel glanced at the nonchalant Dan, who was dozing off in the corner, then said
”If it's for your Highness, I'm prepared to do anything.”
'This two-faced prick! Each and every one of them is a damned sly fox.'
The Crown Prince inwardly cursed Kang Amidel, who was genuinely didn't know why Isadore came all the way here. There are not many things Isadore can't do on his own so this left him curious about this favor.
”Please spare me your nonsense. I want to know a few things about Arthur MoonStar.”
The moment Arthur's name was uttered, Amidel frowned and his countenance changed. His gaze narrowed as he stared back at the unfazed Isadore.
”I wonder where your Highness heard of that name.”
”Just like you have your birds, I have mine.”
The blond young man unconsciously tapped his finger on the table while talking:
”I am interested in him and wish to cooperate with you. What I mean with 'you' is your Kang Clan, which is desperately trying to conceal everything about that man.”
After what seemed to be an eternity, Kang Amidel let out a long sigh before replying
”I am afraid I can't divulge anything regarding him. I'm in no position to take unnecessary risks, if you know what I mean.”
”Oh come on! We already know the Kang Clan is in a tight spo-”
Dan angrily butted in only to be stopped by Isadore, who raised his hand, signaling the straw-hat wearing dude to shut up and back away.
The prince's lips curved upwards as he continued:
”He's a dangerous dark horse. Moreover, his wife is no less deadly than him, I wonder why the Kang Clan chose to bet on him… are you guys that desperate? Or do you know something we don't?”
Amidel's eyes flashed with a cold glint before it quickly disappeared. He stood up and said
”I believe we're done here.”
Without waiting for the Crown Prince, he turned around and left.
”I'm going to stay here and sightsee for a few days. Do let me know if you change your mind.”

”Truth can be elusive and fickle as the shifting sands yet you must know it regardless of the consequences.”
Saly, who was incredibly happy since the fighting has finally ended, was sitting on a desk and listening to the Joker, who was holding a long and thick stick.
He was actually giving her some lessons while she carefully listened. After talking for three to four hours, he would ask her questions and if she fails to answer, her hands will suffer a harsh punishment by the stick, which was normal in every way yet it caused a stinging pain that dug deep into her bones.
”Now tell me, what are the types of dragons.”
Like a good and hard-working student, she stood up and began talking
”Yes, teacher. There are four types of dragons, Geo Dragons, Empyrian Dragons, Black Dragons, and Hybrid Dragons.”
”Good, then what are the Hybrid Dragons.”
Saly took a second to collect her thoughts only to hear the harsh and rebuking voice of the teacher enter her ears
”Really now? Your answer is nothing but silence? And here I thought you were listening to me. Raise your hands!”
Startled, Saly hesitantly retorted
