Chapter 31 The old general (1/2)

It was nearing midnight in general Robert's estate near the outskirts of the city.

The old general was in his study looking at some papers. He was holding a glass of whiskey in his hand. He deeply sighed while reading the papers in front of him.

”What is the old general sighing deeply for?” A voice of a man came from outside the room.

”Who is there?!” Robert made a menacing voice.

”Calm yourself old general, it is I.” The man entered the room slowly.

When he was near the lamp light his features were revealed. A man with brown hair and eyes was seen.

”It is you.” Robert sighed in relief. ”What does your highness, crown prince Regaleon of Grandcrest want, to be here in this old man's estate in the middle of the night.”

”I was thinking if having a chat with the old general.” Leon smiled. ”Your security is rather lacking general Robert. I can waltz in here at ease.”

Leon stopped in front of the old general's desk. Not far from him was Dimitri standing just at the edge of the shadows.

”Hahaha it is not lacking your highness.” Robert laughed. ”It is just the crown prince and his royal guard are keen in sneaking past my guards. As expected of the crown prince and royal guard of Grandcrest, you are indeed worthy of the title.”

”And getting this title was not easy. I am standing above a mountain of body, blood and bones just to achieve my goals. And it doesn't end there.” Leon said with a mighty aura.

Robert was taken aback and sighed. ”Your temperament is so much like your father when he was at your age, such strong aura. But your looks came from your mother.”
