Chapter 82: Lucien’s Confession

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

Natasha was wearing a simple training suit, after having practiced swordsmanship. Her legs were long and straight.

”Confess?” She looked a bit confused but soon became serious, ”Confess what, Lucien?”

Natasha was very different than usual. Now she was like a leopard ready to launch an attack.

Lucien did not answer the princess instantly, instead, he turned around and looked at lady Camil silently.

Natasha was very smart. She understood what Lucien was worrying, especially seeing that Lucien was still playing the piano, ”I trust lady Camil with my life, Lucien, so there’s no need to ask her to leave. And in Ratacia, no one can spy on us.”

”Your Grace, we can never be too careful.” Camil stood up and her blue eyes started to shine brightly. Her whole body gradually became transparent and turned into a statue made of seawater.

Then the seawater from the statue overflowed onto the floor, and soon reached to Lucien’s ankles. A moment later, the whole practicing room was half filled with seawater, and the water level already reached to Lucien’s chest. Seeing Lucien’s confused eyes, Natasha nodded to him.

Soon the room was fully filled with the water. Lucien came to the bottom of the sea.

However, the practicing room was like a big water cube, and the water was not leaking anywhere else at all. Besides, Lucien could breathe easily as usual. The only difference was that Lucien’s skin was covered with a thin layer of silver light.

”Blessing?” Natasha lifted her eyebrows, and soon apologized sincerely, ”Sorry… I did not know Lady Camil would examine you.”

”I totally understand. That’s what lady Camil should do. You don’t need to apologize at all.” Lucien was ready for the examination, and that was one of the many reasons that Lucien did not tell the princess what happened to him the first time he came to Ratacia Palace. Now his Blessing had been awakened, and his spiritual power from practicing magic could thus be hidden.

Lucien understood that, if he faced the heretics by himself, he would absolutely not be enough. Currently, the best choice was to report to the princess and refer to the noble power. And the key point was that he needed to figure out a proper chance to make sure his plan would not threaten the hostages and his own safety.

Now it was the proper chance.

Looking at the silver light covering Lucien’s skin, Natasha rested her chin in the left hand and said, ”Moonlight Blessing, but weaker than a knight’s Blessing… Well, Lucien, now you can tell me what happened. The whole room has been isolated by Camil’s power.”

”As you can see, Your Grace, my Blessing is weaker. That’s because my Blessing was awakened by a bottle of magic potion given by someone else.” Lucien was well-prepared for what he was going to say, ”Since the night when I got invited to be your consultant, I was involved in a conspiracy aiming at you and the grand duke.”

”I see. That’s what you get from working with them, a potion to awaken Blessing,” The corner of Natasha’s lips curled up.

”That is not true, Your Grace.” Lucien mixed the truth and his lie together, ”They kidnapped uncle Joel and his family. They offered me a lot of help in the past when I was struggling. The kidnappers wanted me to report your schedule to them, as well as things that I hear in the palace. They want me to have my Blessing awakened in order to work better for them.”

”Camil?” Natasha was a bit surprised, ”All the people who work for me… they got carefully investigated first, right?”

”Yes, Your Grace. Mr. Evans’s music talent is beyond doubt. Although he got involved with a witch’s case, there is no evidence showing that Mr. Evans, or any of his friends, was suspicious.” Camil stopped examining Lucien and said to the princess. Her voice came from different directions under the water.

As the future grand duke, the security measures around Natasha were very strict.

Natasha nodded, ”Do you know anything about Mr. Joel and his family?”

”Our intelligence department reported that Mr. Joel and his family were invited by a noble lord.” Camil sounded a bit angry.

”Although the security measures in the palace are very strict,” said Lucien, ”when I was acting nervous in front of you the last time, the kidnappers warned me about it in the evening of that day. So I suspect that there might be spies around you, Your Grace.”

”So you were doing that on purpose. Lucien, I really did underestimate you.” Natasha looked quite serious but then smiled, slightly shaking her head.

Then Natasha stood up from the bench and walked around in the room filled with water, ”The intelligence department is untrustworthy right now. Auntie Camil, please go to the church and tell this to the two cardinals, Amelton and Gossett.”

Enjoying his isolated life, now Cardinal Sard was not actively involved with the church. Two younger cardinals, Amelton and Gossett, were currently in charge.
