The Doomed and Blessed, 13th young miss Chapter 67

CHAPTER 67

The black figure bowed deeply, “Your Highness, I was sent on a mission outside of the capital, to retrieve a log book from ten years ago, from an unknown person that is a shopkeeper.”

“…You were told to find…A logbook?”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The black figure took out the old, log book and put it in both of his hands, holding it up towards ‘His Highness’.

Breathing out in puzzlement, the other figure took the book and skimmed through it.

Ten years ago? A shop log book…What has that got to do with this Prince? This must be a ploy!

Continuing to find nothing within the logbook, ‘His Highness’ was even more sure that something strange was going on.

They must know that there’s a perpetrator…I exposed too much too quickly!

‘His Highness’ already felt that this acquaintance in front of him had been used to as much as he could get, and smirked. There were no other options then…

“Your Highness, I thought it strange, so I found another ‘slayer’ that went elsewhere and looked at what he had to find. When I found that the item he collected, was indeed, in some relation to you, I went back over the log book that I had, and found something…”

The black figure turned to a page at the front, and pointed to the name. “This log book started with one person, then ended with another. See the back.”

Turning the old book to the other side, ‘His Highness’ found that this was indeed correct.

But neither of these people were his men, or were previously his men. So, what did this mean?

“Your Highness. Would it be possible that the Second Prince wants to give you a false crime, of killing the first shopkeeper in the log book?”

Even if the Second Prince wanted to do that? What did it matter to a Crowned Prince…He would just create evidence against the false charge…Besides, something like that…Wasn’t something the Second Prince would do…But why…

To Matthew’s plan, they were stomped upon this strange ‘evidence’ and what would be done with it…

Thinking that perhaps they were missing something…They kept the logbook, looking through it more thoroughly…Sadly, this logbook was not only old, but quite large. So, they would take some time to thoroughly go through all of it…

And…To the comical part of this, Matthew only knew of this log book being this way, because that shop was his.

Once the black figure left ‘His Highness’, a golden eyed figure appeared.

When ‘His Highness’ saw this person, he immediately kowtowed and said, “This one greets, Supreme Sovereign!”

“Mmm.” Was all the other said, not letting the other get back up.

Cold sweat started to appear on ‘His Highness’s’ back and he stayed there silently.

After a short moment, the golden eyed person said, “Have you not even found him yet?”

More sweat gathered, as ‘His Highness’ responded, “No…No Supreme Sovereign, my men haven’t found him yet. They will endlessly look for the golden eyed person in which you seek, until he is found.”

“I don’t want him ‘found’, I want him dead! He must be killed as soon as possible, before he reaches seventh rank! Did you not want to show me your loyalty!? Then, do so by showing me his corpse!”

‘His Highness’ started to breath heavily, “Ye…Yes, Supreme Sovereign, I will put in my utmost, in doing as you ask!”

“Very well…He is most likely still recuperating from my bringing him here. The best time to strike him down, will be now!”

“Of course…”

‘His Highness’ was interrupted by the golden eyed person, “And what of you becoming the Emperor, how much longer do I have to wait!?”

“Supreme Sovereign, the plan has fortunately gone very well! The Rolland Estate’s ‘young miss’ will be going to the palace in two days. As soon as she is seen by the Emperor, then that hour will be his last!”

“…This ‘young miss’ can be relied upon?”

“Yes, Supreme Sovereign, I had seen both her determination and loyalty, with my own eyes, I vouch that she is capable!”

“Mmm, very well…The Second Prince?”

“He has already been seen as guilty for murdering royalty, Supreme Sovereign. His time will come soon!”

“Then continue!”

A full minute of silence had gone, ‘His Highness’ only then, got enough courage to remove his head from the ground.

Breathing out heavily, he found himself alone, and in dire need to rid himself of the cold sweat he had accumulated.

Relief spread through him as he slowly stood up.

The only time that he was small, was when the Supreme Sovereign was in front of him. It wasn’t a nice feeling, but there was no other way…
