25 POSSESSED BY A SPIRIT

Prince Reigen had studied the witches of Wemor for many years, and he had also seen some magic as there were also quite a few magicians in Breviel. However, it was the first time he had seen the magic of the red rose.

The red-haired girl managed to prove herself that she wasn't lying, but the prince still wasn't sure about her origins. Indeed, the girl said that she was the princess of Shovalon, but the prince did not want to believe her so easily.

He was afraid that the girl was actually an ally of the Wemor's witches and deliberately wanted to deceive him. Those witches were very crafty, and they probably had a contingency plan in case a surprise attack put their safety at risk.

That was why he still locked the door of his bedchamber when he left his room tonight.

He would try to find out the girl's origin, and for the time being, he would still lock up the girl in his chamber.

Connad, who had been waiting for him beside the door, furrowed his brows when he saw how Prince Reigen locked the door of his chamber.

"Why do you lock your chamber, Your Highness? Are you afraid that there's a thief in this palace?"

The guard dared to question him, but Prince Reigen just glared at him. That was a signal that he didn't want to answer the question.

Connad seemed to be able to read the mood and just kept his lips in a thin line. And when the prince started walking away from his chamber, the blue-haired guard immediately followed him from behind.

Connad was shorter than the prince by an inch, and he didn't look too inferior when he was guarding the handsome prince.

His blue hair was quite long, so he had to tie it in a ponytail so the strands wouldn't bother him while working. Prince Reigen never complained about his long hair, so he had no intention of cutting it short.

The golden-eyed prince kept walking on his long legs, and Connad could only follow his boss without saying a word. He could indeed read the mood, and he could see that the prince was not in a good mood at the moment.

The guard didn't even know what was bothering the prince tonight, and he could only keep his mouth shut now.

It turned out the prince was heading to the forecourt of the palace, and Connad frowned in perplexity. It was almost dinner time, and he expected the prince would head to the dining room instead of going outside like this.

But, Connad did not dare to question the prince and only stopped walking behind the prince when the prince also stopped walking.

The guard glanced at the black-haired prince, and he felt even more confused when he found the prince fixing his eyes on the old tower. He had only realized that the prince started acting strangely since they inspected the old tower.

'Is His Highness possessed by some spirits?' The guard couldn't help but wonder as he kept glancing at the taller man.

It was only last night that they checked the condition of the old tower, but the prince's demeanor was very different all day. For some reason, the prince became calmer, and he even daydreamed a few times.

Connad had known the prince since they were both in diapers, so he could tell that the prince's mind was in turmoil right now. The thing he couldn't guess was the reason behind the prince's gloomy attitude.

"Do you want to knock down the tower immediately, Your Highness?" Connad decided to break the silence because the quietness was starting to feel uncomfortable for him.

He was nervously waiting for the prince to answer his question, and when the prince stiffly turned to him, he flinched in surprise.

'Even His Highness' eyes look empty right now. Is it true that he is possessed by a spirit?'

"I'm not possessed by a spirit," Prince Reigen finally spoke as if he was able to read his guard's mind.

The said guard widened his hazel eyes and looked nervous as ever. Perhaps he accidentally wrote his thought on his face, and the prince ended up reading it.

"There's no need to knock down this old tower for now," Prince Reigen spoke again, and Connad once frowned in confusion.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind, Your Highness? Is there anything bothering you?"

Connad questioned him with concern, and Prince Reigen pondered whether he should tell the guard about the red rose.

He and Connad grew up together, and if their relationship couldn't be described as friends, then perhaps the word 'brothers' would fit.

However, the prince was still unsure if it was time for him to tell the truth to his trusted guard.

"I changed my mind about the monument plan," the prince finally answered as he turned to the old tower again. "I want to build a small monument, so I don't have to tear down that tower. We don't need too much space for the monument."

Prince Reigen didn't even know the real reason behind his change of ideas, but he didn't want to tear down the tower. He found the red rose on the tower, and he suddenly didn't want to knock down the tower anymore.

Connad was confused by the prince's sudden change, but he finally nodded his head. "I understand, Your Highness. If you already have a fixed plan, then we can start the project at any time."

Prince Reigen just nodded as the project of building the monument to the Shovalon royal family was no longer his priority. His priority right now was to find out the real truth behind the red rose he had locked in his bedchamber.

Ah, he suddenly had an idea, and he quickly turned to his guard again. "That person who helped me make the poisoned dagger to kill Sharass, he doesn't stay in one place and keeps wandering all over the world. However, you have to get someone to find him, Connad. I'll need his help again."
