BXBX NOVEL 204 Chapter 204
Edward who was running his mind at full speed was suddenly struck with an unsettling thought.
“What if this was done by him?”
The more Edward thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Although he had tons of enemies none of them was capable enough to enter his territory and take down a whole strategic point.
So, naturally, the needle was pointing in one direction and that was Alex.
“What if he was trying to control his anger before him and sneaked out of the Duke’s mansion to commit such atrocities.”
“No, his troops are still there or maybe some slipped in and he only took a handful of elites.”
Edward stared at the outside scene. There was still some time before dawn and if Alex went himself and sent his troops, he couldn’t return quickly.
“I need to check first.”
“If everything happens as I thought, I can find a chance to strike back and profit a lot in front of this incident.”
Edward was a greedy person, for the sake of the throne, he poisoned his father who would be in a comatose state and spent the rest of his life until he went into eternal slumber.
And he secretly mixed drugs with his older
brother food who suffers nervousness and mental breaks down because of this which had made him a psycho.
Fortunately, his mother was dead. Otherwise, seeing him committing such devious deeds, she would have killed him in her womb rather than giving birth to a snake who harms his own family.
Edward acted quickly and called the guards.
“Relay my orders. Invite King Alex respectfully and ask him to meet me.”
“If he asked the reason then inform him that there had been a state of emergency.”
“Moreover, a quick search in the soldier’s quarter and see whether all the elites of Nevan were present or not.”
…
Due to forceful intrusion, Alice along with others had to wake up from their peaceful sleep.
Alice, who wondered why they were called so urgently, heard that there was an emergency meeting.
“It seems that your brother had enjoyed a lot in the night,” Catherine muttered with a faint smile.
Alice giggled and muttered, “It seems that brother had a wild night out there.”
“I hope he might not have overdone it,” Christina said with a worried tone.
“You are worrying too much sister Christina. My brother knows how to control.” Alice refuted.
He tidied up quickly and posed as Alex walked out followed by Catherine, Christina and her maid who posed as Riya.
The servants and guards who saw him walked out of the room followed by a line of beauties, gritted their teeth out of jealousy and wondered just why the hell their luck was not as good as this man’s.
Even though they were staring with their dagger-like eyes trying to poke a hole in Alice was posing at Alex, they tried to maintain their characteristic friendly smile.
…
“Your Highness, King Alex is on the way.” A servant informed Edward who stood beside Duke Walmart.
Edward who heard the servant’s words frowned and his expression stiffen with worry.
‘Shouldn’t they try to make excuses to delay the timing as Alex might be still out or has he already returned?’
‘No, this isn’t possible, just how can he return so quickly? Even if he is a legendary rank, he can’t travel so fast. Something is odd.’
‘What if the attack was done by someone else.No, it can’t be, even if it was done by someone else he had to find a way to blame them otherwise his reputation would be pummeled.’
“Did they try to delay or make excuses? Were they annoyed and shouted at the servants?” Edward asked.
The butler shook his head and said”No, they replied as soon as they were called and said that they will be here quickly.
CLANG!
The door opened and Alex with a leisurely pale face walked into the room followed by his women.
“I hope you have a good night’s sleep,” Edward said with a smile.
“Why did you wake us up so early?”Alice asked with an irritated tone.
” We have a little problem over here. We have suffered a huge crisis.”
“Crisis…What crisis?” Alice asked with a startled expression and her eyes opened wide.
Her acting was capable enough of bagging an Oscar to her name just like her big brother.
Catherine shook her head seeing his genuine acting.
‘Same blood runs deep in both of their veins.’Catherine thought inwardly.
Even Edward was taken up for a moment seeing Alice’s expression.
With a subtle frown on his face, he spoke in a sarcastic tone”It was the place where your forces went through where a military drill was held and you all have mistaken it as the call of war from our side.”
“So, I am wondering whether you have a role in its destruction. You better know than anyone else just how short temper you are. Maybe, you have a hand in it. I am just guessing as you know this big event shocked the nation.”
“As the Prince, I must punish the evildoers. So, naturally, I must inspect everyone.”
“Tsk!”
Alice clicked her tongue with an annoyed expression and muttered pointing her hand at Edward.
“Listen here bastard, let’s drop the pretences for now.”
Alice spoke like Alex whose bandit switch had been switched open.
“I know very well that the monster attack in the forest was your doing. Do you think I have a hole in my brain and I have forgotten about your heinous deeds by committing the experiment?”
“Since we are here, let’s talk for real now.”
“If I want to crush you, I can kill you now. Don’t doubt my strength. If I wanted to kill you no one can save you. So, if I wage a war, I would take your head on as I did with Amidon.”
“I don’t need to use cowardly tricks like yours to deal with my enemies,” Alice spoke, coughing out all her anger which mortified Edward.
