71 Ch. 71: Conference [3]

"Prince Nathaniel?" Arthur called out, and the black-haired boy turned toward him. Locking gazes with his son, he asked. "Is what your brother said true?"

Silence filled the hall as they patiently awaited the First Prince to speak.

Despite the quietness, Nathaniel could feel how his heart beat like crazy in his ears. Letting out a sigh to calm his raging heart, his mind drifted. At first, he didn't want Adrian to get involved with that organization, fearing that his brother would be caught up in their web once more. That was why he lied when Adrian asked about his wound.

However, the fact that he had dragged him into this made it seem like Adrian knew he was lying.

"Prince Nathaniel, are you listening?" The Emperor called out once again.

After a brief moment, the black-haired boy eventually responded. "Yes, Your Majesty. My brother spoke the truth. I fought with one of them."

"Do you know who they are?" Arthur pressed on.
