Chapter 144 My Mother is Still Alive (2/2)

'I have to know if my mother is really alive.' I thought to myself.

And the one that has the power to know it is none other than Regaleon.

'I must tell him about this when he comes back.' I thought.

I take another sip from my cup.

***

(Regaleon's POV)

My business trip really didn't take too long. The main matter why I went away for a few days is because ex-queen Erica was scheduled to be transferred from the palace to the tower of Grace, which was located at the remote corner of the country of Alvannia.

I wasn't content with the sentence king Edward had given to his ex-wife.

'She tried to take the life of my most precious person. Of course I won't let her get away with such light punishment.' I thought.

I was mounted on my horse, Midnight. We were concealed near the road going to the tower of Grace.

I took my shadows guards and Dimitri with me, planning to ambush the ex-queen's convoy

”Your highness.” A shadow guard came out of nowhere and kneeled down before me. ”The ex-queen's convoy will be here shortly.” He said.

”Hmm.” I nodded. ”You know what to do.”

”Yes.” The shadow guard replied.

”Tell the others to take their stations as planned.” Dimitri ordered. ”We will execute the plan once the ex-queen's convoy is here.”

”Understood.” The shadow guard retreated and vanished into the woods.

”Is there any news from Theon?” I asked Dimitri.

As I know, the prince of Jennova invited himself for afternoon tea with Alicia. I have ordered Theon to watch his movements carefully.

”I have a very bad feeling about that prince from Jennova.” I said.

The sun has set in the west a while ago and the darkness of the night enveloped us. Only the light of the wanning moon illuminated the surroundings. Going to the tower of Grace from the capital will take at least a week by carriage.

The location we are at now was the most suitable for ambush. It was clearly a remote road. If ever the convoy dissapeared, the alarm will only go off after a week have passed and the ex-queen and her convoy haven't arrived in the tower of Grace.

”A letter was just sent via Tempest, your higness.” Dimitri said. I have specifically left Tempest behind to guard Alicia and if ever an emergency occured, I would know instantly because Tempest flies fast.

”What is written?” I asked.

”It said that the afternoon tea ended smoothly. Just that the princess looked ashened by the end.” Dimitri replied.

”Ashened?” I looked at Dimitri curiously.

”It looks like prince Gladiolus said something that shocked princess Alicia greatly. Unfortunately, Theon wasn't able to hear what they were talking about even with his advance skills.” Dimitri explained. ”Fortunately, sir William was there to support the princess. He also has the same view as you,  pertaining the prince of Jennova.”

I sighed in relief. At least I can count on that William for Alicia's safety while I am away. The both of us truly cares about Alicia whole heartedly.

'I don't want to admit it but William and I holds the same amount of affection towards Alicia.' I thought.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Then we hear a bird's sound. That was the signal to commense the plan.

”Let's focus on what is on hand first.” I said with a wicked smile. ”I will deal with the prince of Jennova later.”
