Chapter 564 - Five Hundred And Sixty-four: His Majesty (2/2)

”I know that and I stand to assure you that I will not fail you. We will win this battle and you will get the promotion you need. You will be the commander of the royal troop in my reign,” Lord Albert assured him.

”Thank you, my lord,” The captain went down on his knees instantly. He glanced up with a smile as he added, ”Or should I say, your majesty?”

A smile crossed Albert's features at once. It felt good being called by that title.

However, Neon, who had chosen to remain at his hiding spot, frowned, ”Your majesty,” He muttered to himself.

Did the royal family appoint a new king? The only people he knew being referred to as ”majesty” were the queen, Uncle Judy, and Akim. Even aunty Emily was called ”My lady,” instead of ”her majesty,” because she hadn't married the prince yet. So why is that man being called ”his majesty”

There was no way the man was a king, Akim had told him he - Lord Albert - worked for his mother. Hence, even as ignorant as Neon was, he sensed something wasn't right. He had to tell Allen and Ailee, they were the smart ones.

”All necessary plans have been put in place, all we need are your orders to strike,” the captain said.

”We are not in a hurry to move.

The queen might look easy but she's a smart woman. We have to move when she least expects it. But in all, we can't let the wedding go on….” Lord Albert trailed off when he heard a rustle in the bush.

At once, both men froze, their eyes connecting as understanding dawned on them. They knew the fate that awaited them if their secret got leaked hence they had to eliminate any threat.

”Shit,” Neon cursed from his hiding place. He had not intended to make a noise. Call it instinct but Neon had a feeling those people were not fans of children. What was he going to do?

The captain checked his loaded rifle, regretting the fact he had no silencer - not that they were permitted to use it in the palace anyway. It seems he had to use his fist so as not to draw attention.

He walked in the direction of the bush where the rustle came from, his body in anticipation to incapacitate whoever was hiding in there before his next course of action.

However, before he could get closer, a white albino mouse slipped out from the bush causing much rustling than earlier.

The captain breathed in relief, it was the mouse - a cute one at that. He shook his head at Lord Albert, it was nothing. The man nodded in approval. However, just to be on the safe side, the captain decided to make a thorough search when he heard someone holler ”Neon!” from afar.

At once, the captain stepped back and gestured to Lord Albert that it was time to part ways. They should not be seen together.
