155 084. Ruppel Olfolse -2 (Part One)

I could tell Ruppel was flinching under the sheets. He must've been listening to our conversation while pretending to be asleep.

White seemed to have noticed it too, because he was glancing at Ruppel as well.

As for me, well, I was having hard time processing what the Crown Imperial Prince had told me just now. He was searching for the stillborn Second Imperial Prince?

"Hang on for a minute. Brother Ruppel's sibling? When you say the Second Imperial Prince, then..."

I stopped muttering there and stiffened up instantly. That's because the absolute worst possible scenario had wormed its way into my head.

Harman told me this story a while ago, didn't he?

The Second Imperial Prince died during birth, then Rose Darina, the Second Crown Princess Consort, revived him as a 'zombie'. And the father, White, had to deal with the aftermath.

I stared at him and asked, "But father, I thought you personally dealt with the issue back then?"
