Chapter 54 - The Angry 4th prince (1/2)

It was deep into the night and Shad was in route to his estate after leaving the banquet. At this moment, the sky was at its darkest.

The whole royal capital was enshrouded by darkness and a tense atmosphere.

However, the darkness tonight was different from the usual one. There was this depressing feeling contained inside it, which had quickly spread all over the capital like a virus.

The royal capital was meant to be bustling during the night, with people partying and drinking. The doors of the establishments such as Inns, restaurants, and the red district where all the fun resided were supposed to be open. During the night, the royal capital was supposed to be more alive than it was during the day.

Unfortunately, it was not the case tonight. The whole city was completely dead, and all of this could be traced back from the speech that Shad had just made in the royal banquet. Even the common people could sense the danger in the air as they closed their doors, windows and had gone to bed earlier than the usual.

” 4th prince your highness, don't you think you were a little too aggressive tonight in the banquet.” Asked mark who was sitting next to Shad inside the carriage as they were heading home. Currently, Mark was quite in a dilemma because he could sense the danger as well, it felt as though there were horrible enemies coming for them.

His duty was to protect the 4th prince, but how was he going to do it when the 4th prince had threatened all the powerful noble family within the kingdom with his speech. It's true that his mission was to protect the interest of the empire and reverted the kingdom back to its past peaceful and prosperous self by reclaiming the lands that were taken from the south by the bandits as well uprooted the corrupt nobles that had allied themselves to the Nicholas Empire, but he didn't have to be so direct about it. Doesn't he know what scheming and diplomacy were for? unlike the other princes, the 4th prince was little harsh and hot-headed. At this moment. Mark was also thinking about one thing, and it was how he was going to protect the 4th prince in this foreign soil.

” Aggressive! , huh, I don't think I was aggressive enough. I don't have time to play with these old fogies who think that they could control everything in the dark. I just want to smoke them out of their holes and slaughter them.” Answered Shad with a strong killing intent.

Shad really didn't have time to play nice with these people. His most important business was at the southern region of the kingdom where Henry's pod had crashed as well as the bandits that occupied most of the territory.

Shad wasn't planning on spending too much time in the capital, but before he leaves, he won't leave any stone unturned even if he has to turn the royal capital into a river of blood.

Scheme!

Diplomacy!

The hell with them, he will use the most brutal way to crush whoever opposed the Djage Empire.

Seeing the intense killing intent emitting from the 4th prince's body, Mark couldn't help but swallow what he was going to say.

He truly felt that he was unable to see through this young prince's heart. The 4th prince was sometimes smart with his personal control, sometimes very friendly with people and generous, especially with the commoners as he greatly cherished them. But tonight, he was as though he was looking at the demon king that was thirsty for blood.

” Mark alerted the two imperial knights as well as the twenty soldiers to get in positions, we have some company,” Shad said with a slight smile on his face. While he was inside the carriages, he had been scanning the whole area non-stop for potential enemies with his spiritual forces. As he thought, they really came after him.

Tonight, Shad only had three imperial knights accompanied him in the banquet, as for Gwen who was the only women among the four imperial knight, she was currently with Monalisa in a mission that Shad had given her before he left. The rest of the soldiers were in the estate, but Shad had taken the twenty most powerful of them to accompany him in the banquet.

” Mark, don't worry about me, kill as many of them as you can, if possible leave none of them alive,” He said before he got out through the window of the carriage and climbed on top of it before mark could even stop him.

In the sky, The cold wind howled weirdly.
