Chapter 431: Crown Prince's Call



"Okay, I will explain the situation from the start. Before, someone special to the prince was involved in a particular circumstance we could reveal right now. But to put it simply, the person had become an instrument for something that is against the empire."

"A coup or some sort, perhaps?"

"...I was not tasked to answer all of your questions. Anyway, that person was allegedly forced to get close to His Highness Edward. And then suddenly, the ones behind all of this executed a plan and implemented it on that person, literally."

"And how did I relate to that?"

"According to the reports, that person lost control of their body and was taken by someone else. When they were about to execute their plan, someone showed up and faced that person, trying to stop their plan with force. They fought so effectively that they destroyed a small portion of the Vagoth Forest."

"Uh, huh."

"The intervener actually won in the end and left that person\'s unconscious body in the forest before the authorities found it. Since that person was special to the crown prince, he even joined the search. When that person woke up, we then inquired about the details and gathered as much information as possible."

"Are you implying that I was the one who fought that person?"

"According to that person, in spite of being controlled, they were still able to observe what was going on, and they clearly remembered the one that saved them: a young man, probably a teenager, with black hair and red eyes who was named Azrael. That perfectly describes you."

"I see. But I have to tell you that I am living on another continent, so that doesn\'t make sense to me."

After Azrael said that, the man then scanned him from head to toe and grinned.

"From what we could see, you are ethnically different from the people living here, possibly making you a foreigner to this kingdom. You cannot fool us around."

"That still doesn\'t explain everything, unless you get some explanation to enlighten me."

"As for the explanation of how you can get to the other continent, your ability to sense our presence is a mark that you are not just an ordinary person. In addition, given that you can see through our identities, it is possible that you have some skills to hide or forge your stats, explaining why we can\'t read you very well."

"That\'s a good explanation you got there. I\'ll give you that."

"I assume that you are going to admit that you are Azrael?"

"Hmph. Very well, I am indeed Azrael," he said as he put his right hand on his chest. "To think that the Imperial Intelligence Unit was able to track me here, as expected of the empire\'s greatest reconnaissance agents, would my response suffice?"

"If you confirm yourself to be Azrael, then we request that you come with us."

"But why would I do that?"

"...Actually, His Highness Edward ordered us to bring you to him because he wanted to thank you personally for saving that person. We were also told not to force you if you find it uncomfortable. But again, it\'s up to you if you want to come or not."

"Hmm... Let me think."

Azrael, or rather, Raphael, helped Edith at that time because it was for his own good as well, not just because someone requested him to do so. He did not want a reward for saving Edith, as the stability of the empire also meant the stability of the continent, which included the queendom.

But then Azrael thought that there were really no negative things that would happen if he were to see the prince. One of the few downsides was that he had to reveal himself to a few individuals.

In fact, the meeting would make things easier as Azrael would not have to keep his profile low. Also, he might get a closer relationship with the imperial family, which would give him some advantages.

"Well then, I have decided to come with you and meet this crown prince."

Afterwards, Azrael went to his partymates and told them that some people approached him, and he was summoned back to the Northern Continent. He did not explain to them why, but he said that it was something important.

Since Azrael could not fully hide Raphael\'s sophisticated demeanor as a nobleman, his partymates suspected him to be a royal, which he promptly denied. He might not be a royal, but he was a copy of a nobleman, so they were somewhat right.

He bid farewell to them, but he promised to come back. Actually, behind their knowledge, Azrael sent a few Supernatural Observation to watch them while he was gone, especially since he had two lovers in the party.

When it was time to depart, one of the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Unit cast a Long Teleportation spell, and they found themselves somewhere in the territory of the Kingdom of Boulder.

They could just transport themselves directly to the Imperial Capital, but people would suspect if they entered the city without logging in, so they chose to enter the city normally and legally.

They next went to a nearby city and rode a carriage toward the Imperial Capital. In order to keep things discreet, a long voyage would strengthen their authenticity as travelers. In addition, the mission was actually more like a private order by Prince Edward, and not even the emperor knew about that.

During the travel, the agents agreed not to verbally and telepathically talk to each other as they could not trust Azrael fully. Aware that Azrael was like a bottomless pit, they could just assume that he had the ability to hear their private conversations and even telepathy.

At last, after days of travel on the road, Azrael and the Imperial Intelligence Unit had entered the territory of the Imperial Capital. All of them had their own authentic identification cards, so the process was smooth.

After another few hours, they passed by the gates and had lunch together in a diner. Later on, Azrael and the agents went to a hotel, where he met Prince Edward alongside Edith.
