Kapitel 64: Relieved Royal Highness

"Perhaps it's truly lost."

The Prince let out another soft sigh, noticing the princess's expression of self-blame.

Unable to bear seeing her so distressed, he reassured her, saying, "At the moment, I haven't been able to locate the necklace, but perhaps I'll be able to recover it later on."

The Prince's words meant to offer solace, but he had little hope of ever finding the lost necklace.

After attempting to console the princess, His Royal Highness commanded: "Notify the city of Huahai that I will not be attending the dinner. I have no desire to participate."

With his departure imminent, Huahai City had planned a farewell banquet in his honor. But with the necklace still missing and his spirits low, the Prince had no interest in attending.

"Understood. I will inform them immediately," replied the person in charge.

Once his subordinate had departed, the Prince lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, lost in thought.
