(Regaleon's POV)
”What did you say?!” King Edward roared in anger.
I was in his office the very morning of the next day. I have told him of the assasination attempt on Alicia the night before.
I was calmly seating in front of him sipping my tea in peace after relaying the events of last night.
King Edward's face was now bright red with anger.
'Good. At least I know that he still cares about his third daughter.' I thought.
”All of what I said is true.” I said to him. ”I have evidence here that can show truth.” I looked at Dimitri who was standing beside me.
Dimitri bowed and gave the pile of papers he was holding to King Edward.
King Edward took the papers and started to read them.
”I have found evidence not only for the assassination attempt to the princess but also for other illegal doings.” I said with a calm voice.
King Edward browsed thru the papers. At every turn of the page, his eyes would get wider and wider with shock.
”Is this...all credible?” King Edwards asked.
”Your majesty, have you forgotten who I am?” I looked at him with a cold gaze. ”I am the crown prince of Grandcrest. If I want to know any information, then nothing in this world can stop me from getting it. And not to mention, if I want someone to be guilty, then he will be guilty without a doubt.”
King Edward shivered with my words. He knows that my words isn't an empty threat.
”I also have eye witnesses to attest to such accusations.” I told him. ”With an attempted murder against the third princess of Alvannia, not to mention this crown prince's fiancee and future crown princess of Grandcrest, it will be punishable by death of his immidiate family. For the other crimes, I leave you to their punishment.”
King Edward was speechless after my words have been said.
”I would like to see the judgement be given by this afternoon.” I stood up. ”I am confident that all of the evidence that you need is in those papers. I sugget you start working on it right away. I heard that general McGregor got wind of this accusations against him and is ready to flee the capital today with his family.”
King Edward snapped back from his daze. ”Guards!” He shouted.
The guards stationed outside the door came in running after the king's call.
”Yes, your majesty.” The guard kneeled down in front of him.
”Take the first and second platoon of the royal guards and go to general McGregor's estate. Arrest him with charges of treason and the attempted assassination of the third princess of Alvannia!” King Edward roared.
”Understood your majesty.” The guard quickly left the office.
”I am afraid that your royal knights won't be enough, king Edward.” I said. ”Dimitri, let's lend a hand to the Alvannian royal knights. Give order to the first platoon of my 'Black Dragon Army' to assist the royal knights in caputring the mastermind of the assasination attempt against this prince's fiancee.”
”Understood.” Dimitri bowed.
”Well then, your majesty. I will take my leave.” I said. ”I will be anticipating a good show later.” I smirked.
I turned around and walked out of the office.
