The Bride Of Immortal Crown Prince -
Chapter 85: Something Terrible Happen
Chapter 85: Something Terrible Happen
At the same time...
On the other side of Mavaria near the Water Town, Leon, Darren, and Sebastian appeared on the hidden shore. The area is desolate like there is no life around that place.
"Crown Prince, apologize for calling you to come to this deserted place..." Darren said while leading the group to enter the old gray brick house, which still stands strong, but traces of the house not being occupied for a long time are visible.
Darren opened the unlocked door. Instantly they saw the family room that looked worn out, full of dust, and dim.
"What did you find?" Leon asked.
"Senior Healer..." Darren said in a cold voice holding back anger. In the last two months, this is already the second case of a healer dead randomly in this town. He suspects their death was unnatural, and a few pieces of evidence show they were probably murdered by someone.
Sebastian’s face turns stiff when he hears that.
Another immortal die?
This case made their division focus on the investigation. Immortals were killed, something that couldn’t have happened, but the facts said otherwise. For thousands of years, it has never happened that an Immortal has died, but this year, four immortals have been killed without knowing what caused it.
"Sebastian, examine this corpse and do whatever you need to do to solve the case..." Said Leon while keeping his eyes looking at the corpse. It was a short man with a big belly lying on the floor with a face as white as paper, and his eyes widened open as if before he died, he saw something.
Leon tried to find out the memory of the man, but unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything. He believes someone powerful who killed this person has cleared all his memory.
Leon walked towards the glass window overlooking the dark sea in front of him. He was deep in thought. Meanwhile, Sebastian keeps the man’s corpse in his space-ring with the help of Darren.
"Sebastian, is this corpse related to last month’s corpse?" Darren asked.
"Lord Gilwynn, we are still investigating. But the motive is more or less the same...." Sebastian paused, looking at the Crown Prince, who was now looking at him with an expressionless face.
But Sebastian could tell that the Crown Prince was in a frenzy right now, just like he was. They had performed autopsies on some of the dead immortals killed, but they didn’t know the cause of death yet. There were no traces of external and internal injuries. They didn’t even find the poison in their bodies. It was as if all these corpses died after seeing something in a curse.
The witch?
Leon took a deep sigh. They don’t have the evidence. After all, since his father became Emperor hundreds of years ago, no more witches have appeared in the Empire.
Right now, the theory they could take was all the immortals died after confronting an advanced weapon. It was likely in the form of light that could cause injuries without any visible wounds to the victims’ bodies. The wounds are fatal. It instakill them before the victims could run or defend themself.
"Darren, from now on. Don’t travel alone. Try to bring a tracker and a guard if you feel something odd around you. Alert my people or me right away before you take action." Leon’s voice sounded intense, making Darren terrified.
Darren could sense the danger approaching him now...
Something terrible happened in this Empire.
But what is it?
"Your Highness... Do I need to alert my family and healer community?" Darren asked.
Leon did not answer him right away, but he walked near the entrance. They all follow him out of the house.
"I will come to your house tomorrow and talk to the elders." Leon looked at Sebastian, "Sebastian, take Lord Darren to the capital." Leon said and vanished from their view.
"Sebastian, where did His Highness go?" Darren raises his brown confusion because Leon suddenly goes.
"His Highness is heading to the General Moon place...." Before leaving, the Crown Prince sent him a telepathic message saying he would report to the general about this tricky situation.
"Can you tell me what happened here? And, how could an immortal die?" Ever since he found out about the senior healer’s murder case a few months ago, he had started to suspect that something strange was going on in the Empire. But he didn’t know where to start investigating.
The Crown Prince only asked him to pay attention to a few Healers he knew in Waterside Town. And sure enough, a few weeks later, today’s incident happened. The healer he had been keeping an eye on was missing, and he found it in this old house.
"Apologies, Lord Gylwinn, I can’t tell you anything. You must ask His Highness for more details. But one thing Lord Darren must know, you must be alerted. Now you haven’t reached Immortal level, you won’t be able to defend yourself if something like this happens to you. The person who killed these Immortals is so powerful...." Sebastian said.
Darren suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, and his face turned pale. He was afraid.
Sebastian is right. Even immortals can be killed. Meanwhile, he has not yet reached the Immortal level. He is only at the Level Peak Master. He can easily be killed.
Not all the chosen ones can become Immortal. Because as the chosen one, they need to cultivate their Innate Ability to reach the Immortal Level.
Some of the Levels that the chosen one must go through are; at the age of seventeen, their Innate Ability will appear on the Level Basic. Then need to be cultivated to advance to the next level; Master, Grand Master, Immortal, and Divine.
Each Level is divided into three; Low, Middle, and Peak. And when it reaches the Immortal stage, the chosen one can enjoy their life as an immortal.
When Darren got his ability as a Healer at the age of seventeen, he was immediately in the Level Middle Basic. He could pass the Level Peak Basic within a year and become a Master. But it has been three years since he stuck at the Level Peak Master. He was just one step away from reaching the Level Grand Master. And it was not easy to reach that stage.
Now, their lives are in danger.
As immortal, they will never die. But that was then. Because now someone or some people have figured out how to kill Immortals. Thinking of this made his whole body feel sick.
