บท 213: I Never Want That

In the royal palace of Nardodia, Theo was making his way inside the Crown Prince's chamber.

Crown Prince Emor was sitting on a chair behind a desk. Scrolls were lying everywhere on the desk and it seemed like he was having a hard time trying to go through them. Besides, he didn't look well.

"Your Highness." Theo halted before the desk and bowed. "I'm afraid your suspicion is right. King Tobias is cutting ties with us and the Masked Commander might be the reason."

"Don't you say that things are normal in Jerivia when I told you to check the situation? The same goes for Qalagon," Emor Tripas asked with confusion.

Theo quickly lowered his head. "I apologize, Your Highness. I heard His Majesty talking about some poisoning incident with Colson Leland. It seems like the Masked Commander is the victim but King Tobias covered everything and made sure that words didn't reach other kingdoms."
