Book 8: Chapter 18
‘To be frank, I truly feel hopeless.’
‘I thought I’d get to just laze around as a Prince this time. Never did I expect there’d be another plot against me. I’m sick and tired of these plots at this point. Why can’t I have some free time? Even if I am the Prince, it can’t be that everyone comes after me, right?’
‘I’m just a kid… can you spare me…?‘
I walked on the road feeling a little tired, not because of my wound but because I was honestly feeling worn out. The things that happened over and over have numbed my mind. I was truly disgusted by the current matter, yet I lacked the tension and nervousness I had when I first faced challenges.
‘Am I getting old…?’
I silently walked on the road and looked at the surroundings on the streets feeling tired. Freya, who was behind me, bit down on her lip. I think she was trying to figure out what those people are up to.
‘We didn’t get any concrete information from Prince Bagrott so we have no idea what they’re planning and what they’re after.’
‘Freya won’t take any action until we have detailed information. That’s Freya’s way of doing things. Getting flustered on your own before confirming what the opponent is planning to do is the stupidest thing you could do. As such, we won’t do anything for now. We just need to wait.’
Just as I reached the market, I saw Nara, who was walking arm in arm with Tarak. Nara greeted us when she saw us then pointed at my arm with bewilderment and asked, “Ah, Your Majesty. What a coincidence to see you here. What happened? Did you get hurt?”
