章節 31: Drypho Town
Rai's POV
"Where?" I asked again. I stood up, went to the nearest window and watched the scenery outside.
"The town is called Drypho, my lord," he responded. A town where all the news originated, from which wisps absorbed throughout the continent.
"But what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Ah... we are looking for more information about something, my lord," he said.
"I see." I said while thinking about something interesting.
"But what are you doing here, my lord?" He asked, and I turned around and looked at him.
"Fate brought me here," I said with a serious face.
"...." But he didn't even believe in what I am saying right now.
"I just teleported myself to a place where they needed me the most, okay?" I said, and he only nodded.
"Now stop asking and get ready." I flick my finger and my clothes change and a robe covers my whole body.
"W-where are we going, my lord?" Killian asked.
"To get information," I said and opened the door, ready to see the outside.
Drypho is definitely a tourist spot. Every year, thousands of visitors—both human and non-human—visit this village. The village of Drypho is renowned for its elaborate and exquisite floral decorations.
Furthermore, floral decorations serve as a cover or pretext for shielding the wisps that reside within the woodland, since there aren't many wisps left dwelling on this continent. However, not all people are aware of the wisp's existence.
"Where are we headed, my lord?" He asked.
"To a place where all the information can be found," I answered as we headed to the forest discreetly.
"But why are we-"
"Shh... No more questions and just follow me."
We travelled for two hours before reaching the home of the wisps. Because of the dense fog obstructing our view, we are unable to see anything. With a flick of my fingertips, the fog disappeared.
"Wow!!" Killian could only utter a word. The wisps came out, revealing their appearance to us.
"Welcome to the land of the wisps." I moved toward the enchanted tree that had been standing for so many years. After I put my right hand on its boot, it began to glow and become more vibrant, and all living things started to move around.
Nothing came out of Killian's lips except gasps. The magic tree shifted, and a door opened up in front of me. A wisp suddenly appeared and moved closer to where I was standing.
"We're looking for something, and I hope you can help us find it," I said.

Crown Prince's POV
'Knock, knock.'
"Come in." I set the papers aside and saw Zain walking closer to my desk. He lowered his head as a sign of respect.
"I greet the Crown Prince," he said with a cold voice.
"You may lift your head."
"Yes." I looked at his back, but I didn't see Killian Alvar Lysanthir entering the room.
"Have you seen Killian?" I asked.
"That's what I'm here for, your highness." He retorted.
"Really? I thought you two were together gathering some information?" I asked in confusion, but he only shook his head.
"A minute ago, we were catching the thief when suddenly his entire body froze when we passed through the market." Zain replied, and it made me realize something.
"When we passed through the market, did you sense something odd?" I asked.
"Now that I think of it, I sense a unique aura. A familiar aura was hiding within the people." Zain said.
"We've met that kind of aura before." I said.
"But why would that man always wearing a robe be here?" Zain asked.
"Maybe he's just like us. Looking for some information about something. Does that mean the two of them know each other?" I said.
"Most likely, but when we first met that guy, Killian didn't seem to know him at all." He replied.
'Knock, knock.'
"Come in." I said. Kelvhan, my secretary, came in with an anxious face.
"I greet the Young Duke." he said, lowering his head. Zain just nodded, and Kelvhan lifted his face.
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked with a confused look, but he couldn't even utter a single word.
"Um... that's....." He was cut off when someone was knocking on the door.
"Your highness it's me, Killian." A voice came out behind the door.
"You may enter." I said. The door slowly opened, and I saw Killian's face. He walked in with a serious face. He lowered his head and greeted me and Zain.
"Where have you been?" Zain was coldly asking Killian a question. Suddenly, a man with a robe came in and the three of us froze since we didn't even notice his presence.
"What- why-" I couldn't even utter a word when I saw him walking near Killian.
"I greet the Crown Prince and the Young Duke of Lustina." He said, which made Zain unsheathe his sword and point it towards the robed guy. Killian also unsheathed his sword and pointed it toward Zain.
"What h*ll are you doing, Killian!" Kelvhan yelled.
"Put your sword down, Zain." Killian said in a cold voice.
"*Smirk* Are you threatening me?" Zain asked.
"I am." Killian retorted.
"Both of you, stop! We are in the presence of the Crown Prince!" Kelvhan said.
"*Sigh* You humans are too troublesome." Everyone stopped, and we looked at the robed guy. He placed his hand on Killian and Zain's sword.
"Now, now, everyone, calm down." It felt more soothing when he said those words, and everyone calmed down. Killian and Zain put their swords back.
I can't believe he stopped those two without even using his power. He has such an aura that nobody can defy what he says.
"Who are you?" I asked. The color of his eyes kept changing as he gradually took off his hood to reveal his silver hair. Except for Killian, who was unmoved, everyone was astonished.
"Will my appearance help with explaining?" he said, smiling.
"I'm Rai Alexio, the last descendant of Alexio."
