Chapter 1977: The Royal Family's Sanctum

Ethan Smith was silent for a moment, then said, "I feel like this is a case of a thief guarding their own loot."

"A thief guarding their own loot?" The Prince was clearly taken aback by Ethan Smith's statement.

He looked around and made sure no one was around before continuing, "Why would you think so?"

Ethan Smith didn't hold back, immediately explaining his thoughts to the Prince.

After listening, the Prince couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Smith, let's find another place to chat," the Prince said as he stood up.

Ethan Smith understood the Prince's apprehension and didn't object. He nodded and stood up as well.

A few people arrived at a certain room in the Imperial Palace, where the Prince locked the door. Even the two attendants who usually protected him weren't allowed in.

"Mr. Smith, to be honest, I have the same thoughts as you," the Prince said with a sigh.
