175 A Trap

"Alright." Llica replied as she looked into his deep eyes lovingly. The two of them then seemed to be in their own world, disregarding Rena who was still sobbing on the floor.

Rena thought that it was weird that the couple were silent so she looked up and was met with their flirting scene. How could this couple still flirt when there's a crying person before them!?

"...That's right, second prince! The enemy has told me to lay a trap for the first prince before accompanying you here." Rena spoke up as she just remembered what she had done earlier.

"What trap?" Kazuya asked with a serious face.

"I was told to deliver an envelope to the first prince and the first princess. I am not sure about the contents but I think that something that would lure the two should be written there. Although I have already told some trusted guards to monitor them in case something went wrong, I'm still not sure if they are going to be safe." Rena reported.

Kazuya's face darkened. He then took out his phone to call his brother.

After a few seconds, the call was answered, "Kazuya? What's up? Have you arrived safely?"

"Kazuki, tell me what was written in the envelope Rena had given you before we left." Kazuya said as he felt worried.

"Well, it says that there's something wrong with Lily's pregnancy and that if I wanted to know more, I should go to the west courtyard tonight. I was just about to go there." Kazuki replied in a serious tone. He was really worried if something had went wrong for their first baby.

"Don't go there!" Kazuya ordered. Luckily he was still in time before it was too late.

"Why? It could be something serious. I don't want anything to go wrong." Kazuki asked suspiciously. Come to think of it, this letter was a little suspicious. Although the doctor's name was written in the letter, normally, the doctor would call him to tell him directly, and not through the paper like this.

"The letter was sent by the enemy!" Kazuya said as he gestured for Lilica to also call Lilienne to stop her.

Lilica nodded knowingly and quickly took out her phone to call Lilienne.

"What do you mean by that? Rena had given me this letter directly so there's no way it was from the enemy." Kazuki argued.

"Rena was also a spy." Kazuya told him honestly.

"What?! Are you sure?" Kazuki was also evidently alarmed.

"She confessed. Anyways, do not go to the west courtyard." Kazuya paused as he looked over at Lilica who was trying to call Lilienne but to no avail.

"It seems like her phone is off." Lilica said worriedly as looked at Kazuya.

"Kazuki, where is Lilienne?" Kazuya asked as he felt a bad premonition crept in his heart.

"Lily? She's in my room. I told her I had some business to deal with so I just left her alone in the room. Wait… Don't tell me that she was also given a letter!" Kazuki shouted worriedly as he quickly turned his body in the direction of his bedroom and started running.

"She was also given a letter. If she isn't in her room, then she should be in the east courtyard, furthest away from the place that you were called to. I'll call father so that he can order the guards to help searched." Kazuya said before he hung up.

He then quickly dialed his father's number. After a few seconds, the king's voice sounded from the other end, "Kazuya? Did something happened?"

Normally, Kazuya wasn't the. Type to. Report if he had reached safely or anything unless asked. He wouldn't even call his father if nothing went wrong. It would usually be his mother if he wanted to report on his life.

"Father, please order the knights to help find Lilienne! She should be on her way to the east courtyard! The enemy had tricked her into a trap!" Kazuya replied seriously.

"What! Gather the guards!" The king ordered his wife before he continued asking, "What do you mean she was tricked? What exactly happened?"

"Kazuki and Lilienne were each given a letter by the enemy. The enemy had Rena deliver the letter so we weren't suspicious of it. The letter told Kazuki to go to the west courtyard and for Lilienne to go to the east courtyard. Luckily, I stopped Kazuki in time so he's safe but Lilica couldn't contact Lillienne at all so she might be in danger!" Kazuya told his father of what was happening with a worried tone.
