Chapter 56 - The Real identity Of The 2nd Prince (2/2)

Hegel knew about the Merit or achievement departments of the Djage empire which was a system of how they choose their future Emperor, yet the 4th prince didn't participate or even takes missions in order to build up his merits.

For example, either being the emissary of the Mulan Kingdom and uprooted the bandits that had occupied most of the territories of the south of the kingdom were considered as an A rank mission from the merit departments, yet he 4th prince agreed to do it without expecting any reward or the merit points in return. As such, he wasn't afraid to fail or succeed which will make him more dangerous. He won't care about what methods to use, as long he gets the job done.

While the 2nd prince was pondering about the 4th imperial prince, a man in black, about 30 years old, entered the living room while scratching his head as stuttered out a few inconsistent words, ” Demon, he is not a human. The demon will come after me.” he was quivering and his face was pale and filled with fear.

” What is it? What happened?” seeing the terrified look on this man's face, the people within the living room including the 2nd prince instantly felt nervous.

The all stood up at the same time.

” The people who went to ambush the 4th imperial prince, they all died. they were single handly slaughtered by the 4th prince himself. It seemed like their heads had all explode and their bodies burned by the lightning bolt.” The man was quivering, ” Furthermore, they were all killed by just one strike each. they were killed instantly!”

” They didn't even have the chance to strike. not even the Black Bear as he was captured by the 4th imperial prince.”

” What! What did you say?” The 2nd prince slapped the table in front him hard and stood up at once.

The others looked at each other in speechless despair as they were done listening to the man in black reports.

They felt shocked, as they couldn't imagine that the 4th imperial prince was that powerful. Not only that, he has been hiding his strength and fooled everyone, Even the people of the Djage empire because they had some spies over there as well.

They knew earlier what strength the people that they have sent had. In fact, it was why they were shocked when they were told that they were killed by a single strike, to make matter worst, they were killed by the 4th imperial prince himself.

The 2nd prince was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He even felt a bit dizzy at the moment.

” The 4th imperial prince.” The 2nd prince humped heavily and his eyes were filled with coldness. ” Tell me. How did it happen?”

Without wasting any time, the man in black explained everything that had happened without leaving a single detail behind.

” Two lightning swords that appeared in his hands, no magic circle, no casting spells, One strike.” Everyone gasped fearfully.

They had no way to confirm whether this explanation was true or not because it sounded so unbelievable. It was the first time they have heard of somebody using lightning or any element without the use of the magic spell, even void mages have to use the magic spell.

Suddenly,

” So, this is where you lots where hiding. it seemed like I hit the jackpot.” They heard the cold voice of the 4th imperial prince reverberated above the 2nd prince palace.
