"I heard earlier that someone dared to break through here, My Lord," Ryan said that morning, enthusiastically. The man is the main servant at Ethan's place. Cheerful and feisty, truly an aura capable of warming the surroundings.
Ryan placed the food-filled push rack beside Ethan's seat, as the man frowned faintly in the middle of his work. "Who are they?"
"Why do you want to know?"
Ryan looked the other way. "Yes .. as the main servant here, I think I deserve to know."
Unfortunately, Ryan is Zachary's confidant. He had even worked in the palace before. Ryan also worked for the king.
Ethan laughed crisply. "They are the crown prince and my sister, Lady Luvena" he said honestly.
"Crown Prince?!" shocks surprised. But understanding Ethan's astonishment at his exaggerated reaction, Ryan hurriedly normalized his expression. "What interests did he bother to come here? And also, together ... Lady Luvena?"
"They love each other. So it's only natural to fight each other. I was amazed by the crown prince's persistence to snatch my brother from Prince Julius. Well ... Now I'm becoming more and more curious as to whether the two of them have made it out of here or not, yes."
Ethan takes a piece of paper intending to write something on it. Seeing that, Ryan hurriedly helped get a quill pen and ink dipping inside a special shelf.
"For whom is the letter, My Lord?"
"For Beckett. It just so happens that he's outside. Maybe I can do something."
Ethan is back. This time more seriously. Even he used elaborate writing, a writing that could only be read by those who had castes as nobles so that Ryan could not read some even one letter from the contents of the letter. When finished, Ethan rolls up his own letter and summons his beloved pigeon, which has deep black fur, so disguised that it flies at night. Tied the letter right at his feet. After that Ethan gently stroked his fine fur.
"It looks like a secret letter."
"Yes?" Ethan. In an instant the dove flew free in the air after Ethan flew it on the balcony. Leaving Ethan and Ryan back together as usual.
"Of course it's a secret. I don't want anyone else to get the letter and read it without my knowledge or Beckett." Ethan sat down. This time calmer, he sipped the still steamy green tea slowly.
"Why is the crown prince here, My Lord?" Ryan repeated the same question. He is not satisfied with the answer Ethan gave before. "There must be something, right."
"There's something." Ethan deliberately made her even more curious.
"If it's allowed to know, what is it, My Lord?"
"The less you know, the better" Ethan replied. It was actually the last warning Ethan gave.
Ryan insisted. "You can tell me everything. Let's just say I'm your confiding place, My Lord."
'This is important news. Your Majesty the King should know what the crown prince is doing! I can't miss it!' inner Ryan was excited.
"Well if you force it. I actually do need a confiding friend." This time Ethan picks up a plate of pancakes that are in the corner of another table. The morning snack he had deliberately left. Cutting the middle gracefully using a knife and fork, the maple syrup at the top just melumeri the cake like a waterfall.
"After a long time, finally one of the members of the royal family was willing to acknowledge my existence. Prince Lu— ah, no. Crown Prince. He entrusted me with an important position because I passed the secret test he gave me. All I got was my hard work, Ryan. Not from Declan's help or the duke's own."
"Ah, so you're going to replace one of the ministers, are you?"
"No. The position that the crown prince offered was much more formidable than that," Ethan replied proudly. Not at all interested in covering up his fun.
"He offered me the title of right-hand man of the Knights Nyx. How, really great, right?" Ethan stuffed a piece of pancakes into his mouth.
"Knight Nyx? What does this have to do with the crown prince?"
Ryan's approaching. Take the dragon teapot from the glass tray and pour the contents into a cup.
"Not yet, yes. The crown prince was the greatest man in the elite army. He often kills mercilessly. Especially against people who complicate the way, His Royal Highness will not stay silent," Ethan dismantled casually. Even she leaned back on her work chair, receiving the cup that Ryan offered. A cup with low alcohol. Ethan spent it in one dope.
"I just found out, My Lord. A shocking news. But seeing how the crown prince had performed all this time, it was indeed impossible for him to succeed among the Nyx Knights." Ryan was amazed. "Ah, yes. I'll have to drop these teapots into the kitchen and ask for a new drink for you. Then I say goodbye, My Lord."
Ethan nodded, still smiling calmly. "Yes, yeah, please."
Ryan looked respectfully. He pushed the push rack containing the teapots with a feeling of pleasure. There was so much important news that he got and should be reported to His Majesty the King at the latest this afternoon. The reason His Majesty the King himself so spied on the two illegitimate children Lumiere —Ethan and Beckett— was because he hated both of them. From the beginning it was so, and forever it will be. Unwanted children of the land like them, could not flourish under Sasania as long as King Hudson was in charge.
Not until Ryan touched the doorknob, a knife hit his neck. Stuck. Slowly he felt behind him, and it was true that there was a blood-stained knife mixed with maple syrup there. He turned around, but how surprised Ryan was because Ethan was now standing relaxed right behind him.
"M-my Lord, what does this mean?" His hand that had just wiped his own blood seemed to tremble, as well as his trembling gaze inversely proportional to the reaction Ethan gave.
Ethan's approaching. He patted both Ryan's shoulders until the man who had a body much shorter than him was getting vibrating violently. A smile never once separated from Ethan's lips.
"S-I promise to shut up to anyone, My Lord. I swear!"
"Eum, unfortunately the crown prince already believed in me so much that it was very difficult for myself to believe in others. There are traitors. I'm sorry, yeah."
Without guilt, Ethan holds Ryan's head firmly and twists it a hundred and eighty degrees. Ryan did not scream. A very painful feeling approached him suddenly. His head is like a crumble. Neck's broken. In an instant, the man's body weakened, then piled onto the floor without being propped up by anything.
In an instant he died.
"I'm in trouble if His Majesty the King finds out everything I told you just now."
Ethan turned. He wiped his sweat with the back of his hand, then clucked in annoyance.
"Ah, when I don't want to dirty my hands. But curiously, you're the one who forced me to do it. Ck, Ryan, Ryan."
Ethan is back in his chair. Letting Ryan lie stiff in front of the entrance while waiting for someone to come here and clean it up. Well, the pancakes are much more interesting than the view ahead. Lately because the work piles up, Ethan feels hungry quickly.
"Well, is the knife still stuck to Ryan's neck?" Ethan chuckles. Even so, he still ate the pancakes with the remaining forks.
...----------------...
"It feels pretty weird if I don't say goodbye to Beckett." Eve stared at the other buildings which were quite far from where they were standing at the moment. "But it's hard to break through his room. Aside from the location of the building in front, through the road that often soldiers pass, Beckett is also not here."
"I'm sure Ethan will explain everything. Beckett wouldn't hate you for not saying goodbye, would he?" entertain Lucas patting his shoulders gently.
Now they're at the corner of the gate. Waiting for some soldiers to let off without leaving a trace. But unfortunately the guard is being tightened, so it takes a long time to be free from the Ethan castle complex to the rat road that is behind the Declan castle complex.
Eve nodded. He couldn't have made it any further for Lucas just to say goodbye to Beckett. When they wanted to make a move, Lucas stopped Eve by holding her shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
Eve turned. Lucas's face returned seriously.
"I can sense that Declan is here. After Ethan and Beckett, don't you want to say goodbye to him, too?"
Eve tensed. If Declan finds out, maybe his plan to escape ends up failing. Obviously, Declan looks very royal against the kingdom. He obeyed. And perhaps, his existence is now also intended for all Lucas' plans to not succeed and then again force Eve to sit quietly in her room for a day.
What should Eve do now?
