Chapter 23: Gone Rogue
"A plan?" Spencer was startled by Seth’s words. He never anticipated the prisoners being transferred to their palace to be of use other than to interrogate to find more information.
Seeing his reaction, Seth exhaled softly. "I’ve told you to learn more politics but you just refused. The Crown Prince intercepting the capital guards and disregarding the protocol to capture these prisoners over meant he wanted to do something to them. If you interrogated and tortured them to death, then what will the Crown Prince be left with?"
Stunned, Spencer’s face turned pale. He stumbled a few steps back and pondered over the situation.
Indeed, it wouldn’t have made any sense for the Crown Prince to capture them just to interrogate them.
After all, the matter could have been done by the capital guards through the Capital Justice Court.
Spencer highly doubted anyone could be powerful enough to manipulate or destroy any evidence under the Capital Justice Court. The Capital Justice Court was one of the jurisdictions under the Royal Court, responsible for overseeing and trialing any crimes committed in the capital.
"Then what should I do?" Frustrated, Spencer clenched his fist. He felt like imploding for having no way to express his anger. The Crown Prince was delayed and hindered by someone, but all he could do was wait at the palace.
If possible, Spencer hoped to leave the palace and rush over to Leonard’s side. Unfortunately, he was forbidden to do so by Leonard.
"What you should do is just show your face occasionally in the capital. Let the others know you’re still here." Seth calmly said.
"You need not to worry about the Crown Prince’s safety. I’ve already used my code name to make numerous arrangements."
