A Smug Feeling

The look on Prince Fritzen's face implied that he had already found the answer to his previous question so the older prince did not waste his breath any longer.

The tribute King Ophire had received was set aside for his younger brother but it never found its way to its intended owner as it had gone missing.

Fritzen recalled vividly how the Royal guards and a few of the chosen members of the Black Shadow Knights had been sent out on a search mission to find the etcher who had somehow managed to escape its confines.

However, midway through this mission, the knights had returned to the Palace.

Though they had not come back empty-handed as they had brought a letter from the Prince for whom this search mission was being held.

The letter was addressed to the King, reading which the mission was put to an end.

Prince Fritzen had no clue why his uncle had asked the King to call off the search previously.
