Chapter 181-Ronin Acts
At the gate of the Castle, many guards were assigned there to guard the place. Security is tight as everyone can see many soldiers everywhere. Anyone can see the massive castle inside the gate, but no one can enter inside unless you properly enter the gate. The place had a formation that prevented anyone from infiltrating the place and only high officials and prominent members of the Black Turtle Clan could enter inside.
“Sigh, the chaos in the Clan is getting out of place and everyone is affected by it. From the mysterious sickness of our Leader and the fighting of the princes.”
A guard who was at the gate sighed as everyone could feel the tension that is happening inside the Clan.
“Yeah, you are right, we can live peacefully because of our Clan Leader so I hope that there is a miracle for him to recover”
The other guard replied.
“Prince Harrold is also missing, and Prince Henry said that we must report to him if anyone sees him.”
The other guard said but they suddenly heard the other guard say, “Look, is that prince Harrold?”
The guard pointed at the teenager walking towards the gate. He had a height of 6 foot tall and his looks indeed matched Harrold’s. They were stunned because they saw him full of blood and wounds in his body and it looked like he suffered from intense torture.
“Help”
Harrold shouted then he lost consciousness as he fell to the ground. The guards immediately rushed to him and one of them shouted, “Open the gate and call the doctor immediately”
They were now in a panic because if something happened to the prince, they would surely be punished or sentenced to death.
…..
“So my lovely brother is back and he is alive?”
Henry, who is sitting on the chair, asked the man who had a long beard in front of him. This man is named Fil and he is the minister of the empire and one of the trusted subordinates of the Clan leader for many years. He is loyal to and hard working so he was favored by the clan leader. He is also smart that’s why he became the minister and he can see that by only joining the side of Henry, he can still stay in his position and can even get a higher position if he ascended to the throne.
Their best physician said that their clan leader won’t last for long and that they badly needed a new leader to stabilize the situation in the clan. Apparently, Henry had the highest chance of winning so he felt that his move was smart.
“Yes, he came back alive but he is now unconscious because he lost a lot of blood but Prince Haslem rushed immediately when he heard that Harrold is back and he did his best to treat his injuries. Now his condition is stabilized and expected to wake up in 2 days.”
Fil said while he was looking at Henry who had a plain expression on his face. Henry smirked and replied, “Well you can now leave”
Fil didn’t dare to not obey him, so he immediately left the room. After Henry saw that he already left, a man who wore a black robe appeared near him and sat in the chair.
“That Fvcking Haslem is using this opportunity to look like a caring brother and get the support of other people huh? Well, that doesn’t work because the throne is already mine and I only let this act until now so others would not know our plan.”
Henry said then the black-robed man replied, “So what will we do to that pest Harrold?”
Henry immediately replied, “Silence him already as even if he is just an ant, he can possibly destroy our plan even if it was 0.01%”
The black-robed man nodded as he disappeared from the place and now headed toward where Harrold is.
…..
The black-robed man appeared in a room where there is a teenager sleeping on the bed and no one is guarding him inside the room. This place is Harrold’s room and the guards are outside the room to prevent someone from entering but they didn’t know that with the powers of the black-robed man, he can enter the place easily without them knowing.
He looked at Harrold who was sleeping peacefully and covered with a bandage on his body and came near him. He immediately took out a knife and put it on Harrold’s neck and sneered in disdain. “Goodbye weak turtle”
Then he pushed the knife into his neck, but he suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw that Harrold’s body disappeared and he didn’t hit anything. He was stunned and scanned the surroundings and saw a man who was sitting in the chair and looking at him. The man is wearing a black mask and he is wearing butler attire. The black-robed man was stunned and he didn’t expect that someone strong of this caliber is inside the Black Turtle’s clan. Even the black-robed man is Immortal, he cannot see the strength of this man in front of him.
Of course, it was Ronin who disguised himself as Harrold because Dave had other plans. Ronin had the best and most suitable skills for the job and he trusted him so he was not worried that he would destroy the plan.
“Tsk an inferior demon trying to assassinate the King of Assassin? Heh, not a chance keke”
