Capítulo 680: Trap Setting (Part 2)_1

Time rewinds to one day earlier.

By the time Cardinal Mensai returned to Dragon City, it was already dark.

The streets were already devoid of pedestrians, only occasionally would a patrol guard be met.

Mensai lifted the carriage curtain, instructing the coachman:

"First, go to Phoenix Palace."

"Yes, my lord."

The horse-drawn carriage immediately changed direction, heading straight to Phoenix Palace.

Mensai got off the carriage, announced his arrival, and under the lead of an attendant, entered Prince Harrison's bedchamber.

Upon entering, Mensai noticed that Prince Harrison's eyes were red-rimmed, which indicated that he had just cried.

Mensai knew this was due to the news of Emperor Reinhardt's death reaching Dragon City.

"Prince Harrison, have I disturbed your rest?"

"No." Prince Harrison collected himself, and in a deep voice, asked, "Cardinal Mensai, have you just returned from the frontline?"

"Yes, Your Highness."
