Chương 150: Chapter 150

Prince Ron gasped. "So great great great uncle Kaiden is the Shadow Master? I thought he died in war!"

"That's what he made everyone believe." Hilda said. "Only few of The Shadows know that he is still alive. I know because my father was one of his trusted aids."

"So why can't Prince Kaiden expose himself to the Queen of Ashenmore?" Zedekiel asked. "Why does he fear her?"

"Because she has the power to kill him." Hilda answered.

"I do not understand." Prince Ron said. "How?"

"I'll explain, Your Highness." Hilda assured. "Even though King Rapheal had banned dark magic, Prince Kaiden still went ahead and practiced it, saying that Shadow Magic was not enough to defeat the Elves. With time, Prince Kaiden grew stronger and stronger. Fearing that Prince Kaiden would try to rebel and take over the Kingdom, King Rapheal tricked him into taking a heart-binding centipede."

Zedekiel thought about it and chuckled. "The old man was wise."

"Indeed, he was." Hilda agreed.
