“Yes. That's interesting, Prince Luciel. Although not all, but most of the powerful Lycan from the Ivercrown Family could distinguish a person by the smell.
Even if that person uses some kind of concealment skill, we can detect it.”
“So so ..”
Hearing Charles' explanation, Ciel nodded He felt quite lucky that Theo had invited him to go along. If that young man and Camellia were to go to Silver Fang Kingdom, despite not knowing his true identity, the two would have been caught for supposedly infiltrating.
Ciel then turned his gaze towards Theo.
“Can you also smell me, Theo?”
Hearing Ciel's question, Theo shook his head.
“No, Mr.But I have strong instincts. Besides ... might not exist?”
Looking at Theo who was tilting his head with a puzzled expression, Ciel instantly guessed. Most likely it happened because the Lycan and Demon genes in the juvenile's body were in a draw and were equally strong. So, there is no tendency on one side.
“I don't know about Theo, but Jenneva has a better smell than me.” King Charles said with a proud tone.
Ciel then turned her gaze towards Jenny. Confused why the woman did not tell him first.
Sensing Ciel's gaze, Jenny turned her face away with a red hue on her cheek.
How could I say that? I don't want to be labeled as a perverted woman for sniffing Prince Ciel's smell!
Why do you have to say such an embarrassing thing? You stupid brother!
Although the expression on her face had not changed at all, Jenny's cheeks were completely red.
Unlike Ciel who is less sensitive to women's feelings, Camellia knows that Jenny is ashamed of Ciel. The girl also realizes that Jenny has feelings for her lover. But compared to her rejection of Isabella before, Camellia had already received Jenny in her heart.
For Camellia, Jenny is the woman she deserves to be an example of. Although in a level not too strong, the woman had a good heart. He was very strong and loved his son. There are still many other things, but it can be summarized as .. a good mother.
Seeing how Jenny averted her gaze, Ciel only let out a short sigh.
“So ... Why should you go undercover, Prince Luciel?” charles asked somewhat curiously.
“It would be troublesome if a Prince from the Black Sun Empire went to another kingdom and got into trouble. My identity now is Gin, the mercenary of the Colorless Lunar Group.
As for Camellia, from now on you can call her Hara. Like me, his identity is a mercenary of the same group.”
“Then ... what is your goal to go to Silver Fang Kingdom, Prince Luciel? Although dying, I am still the King of that kingdom, and I ... will not let you harm my homeland.”
Seeing King Charles' serious expression, Ciel gave a dissatisfied grunt.
“Don't be a hypocrite, King Charles. I know the reason you said that Jenny and Theo might be targeted. Besides caring about them ... you also expect help from me, right?”
Hearing Ciel's explanation, King Charles chuckled. He was quite surprised as well as happy because Ciel was completely beyond his expectations. Besides being so strong, it was still very smart.
“I just didn't expect that you yourself would come. What an honor to have you personally intervened, Prince Luciel.”
“How much longer can you start moving. No need to fully recover, as long as it can move and withstand several attacks ... it is enough.”
“Lima .. no. Three days is enough. Actually, I feel pretty good. However it takes a few days to get used to.”
“Then, we head to Silver Fang Kingdom four days later. No need to delay anymore. Since in you have an accident until our trip .. maybe a total of about a month more.
If you delay too long, the Silver Fang Kingdom will become even more chaotic.”
Charles nodded with a serious expression.
“Then please help, Prince ... no. I mean, Mr. Gin and Miss Hara.”
...***...
Fifteen days later, in a castle.
King Charles took a deep breath. He sat down together with Jenny while looking at the figure across the table. That person was named Rocky, the Marquis of the Silver Fang Kingdom. The territory he controlled was the border area between the Silver Fang Kingdom and the Black Sun Empire.
Despite the border, the region was very calm and peaceful. This is because both sides rarely intersect.
Rocky himself was a tall and muscular bald middle-aged man. It's a bit like a bear compared to a wolf.
“What really happened when I left?” charles asked Rocky.
“Jonestly, My King. Ever since you suddenly disappeared, the kingdom has become increasingly chaotic. Some of the people above (royal families) even started to make demands on the Black Sun Empire.
The border area is becoming increasingly tense. To make matters worse, there seems to be a dispute in the capital. A lowly nobleman like me has absolutely no right to have an opinion or even know such important information.”
“How about the Tez family?”
“...” Hearing the name Tez mentioned, Rocky let out a long sigh. “Wives, children, even grandchildren are beheaded in public. They were considered traitors and given a sentence.”
When he heard Rocky's explanation, Charles gritted his teeth before pounding the table in front of him with emotion.
“Even you dare to disavow your own words, Andrew! You ..”
“He has not changed at all.” Unlike the emotional Charles, Jenny seemed so calm.
“By the way .. I am very surprised that you are still alive, Princess Jenneva. I still remember the day that the Silver Fang Kingdom mourned your funeral. Many people deeply regretted the death of the Flower from the Silver Fang Kingdom.”
“That's absolutely nothing to regret.”
Seeing Rocky complimenting her and occasionally looking at her, Jenny replied calmly. Not humble or arrogant. He kept his distance with that person and set his own limits.
“There are things that make me doubt, my King. The two robed people ... who exactly are they?”
“Transpaid soldiers. Yes ... more precisely the subordinates of an acquaintance.” Charles replied casually.
“It looks like they are quite dangerous. Are you sure, they are not suspicious figures?” ask Rocky with doubt.
“I trust them so much. A level 5 (early) magic knight, he's named Gin. As for the level 4 (late) magician, she was named Hara.
Compared to them .. maybe I'm more suspicious of you, Marquis Rocky.”
“You must be kidding, My king.”
Rocky rubbed sweat on his forehead. That person now no longer suspected Ciel and Camellia. His family who take care of the border is arguably quite clean. They did not interfere at all with the chaos and power struggles in the capital of Silver Fang Kingdom.
Even when meeting, Ciel instantly gave him the stamp ‘good people’. The reason is actually very simple. Rocky likes peace more than power, and the man fears a war on the border will break out. Things that will make him suffer.
Although the peace in question is different, Ciel still appreciates Rocky who likes peace. After all ... not everyone thinks of creating peace only to laze later.
“Then, I want you to do something, Rocky.”
“Speak your order, My King!” rocky said firmly.
“Spread the news that I survived and have returned.”
Hearing King Charles' orders, Rocky is shocked.
“Isn't it .. it harms us, my King? If I do it .. it's like breaking a bush to scare a snake. Those people (the enemies) will hide and we will find it difficult to detect them. In my opinion-”
“Do it!” charles said firmly.
“Good, My King.”
Charles initially thought the same thing with Rocky. But after hearing Ciel's really rather simple but unthinkable plan, Charles felt enlightened. That person was even more amazed by the figure of the prince who was so young.
A truly amazing young man!
