Chapter 393. Side Story 2. A Mad Dog Lives In the Imperial Palace (4)
Imperial Guards had been dispatched at once.
Two full companies, including Vice-Commander Amy Altura, rushed out the moment they received the report of a kidnapping in broad daylight. They'd already been informed that Prince Halo had gone to the capital for a short trip with Saintess Seria and Caron Leston. And then...
"Vice-Commander! An urgent report just arrived! A kidnapping occurred in the capital! The child who was with Saintess Seria has been kidnapped!"
The shocking news shook the Imperial Palace to its core.
The instant Seria used her holy power, her identity had essentially been exposed. Naturally, the palace had erupted into chaos, and forces were sent out immediately—from the Imperial Guards, the Imperial Magic Tower's combat battalions, and even regular army units. It was all to retrieve the prince.
And at their head stood...
"Caron Leston. Caron Leston. Caron Leston," Empress Leon muttered darkly.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Amy asked.
"Dame Amy, if there is even the slightest scratch on our prince... I will declare Caron Leston a rebel on the spot and execute him myself," the Empress said coldly.
"...I will not stop you, Your Highness," Amy replied.
A pitch-black fury clouded the face of Empress Leon Leston as she sighed.
Her son had been kidnapped. Any mother would be frantic, but Leon had gone past frantic and straight into despair and rage.
