Chapter 122: A Mission Is Bound To Fail
At Averion Castle...
Crown Prince Cassian was still in a bad mood. The day of his return to Kingdom Eldara was fast approaching, yet he didn’t know how he would be able to bring Princess Eve with him.
Eve was busy rebuilding the slum, transforming it into a progressive village wherein the poor people could live happily without worrying about famine and deadly diseases in the future.
Eve was helping the poor families in the slums to improve their way of living through proper education and other sources of livelihood.
"If Eve can succeed in making the slum progressive like other villages, Princess Eve is worthy to become a ruler standing by my side." Crown Prince Cassian mumbled, expressing his thoughts with Sylvana.
"Tell me, Sylv... what should I do to make her come to me?"
"Your Highness, we can’t do it by force. I think let’s wait for a perfect time. Don’t be impatient or else, your plan will get ruined." Sylvana advised him not to do reckless things.
"I’ve heard that Alaric and Princess Eve will go to Kingdom Zephyra. If things don’t go well in Kingdon Zephyra, you can use this to offer her some helping hands. With that, she would feel indebted to you."
"What do you mean by that?" Crown Prince Cassian looked at Sylvana with interest. "Have you seen another vision?"
Sylvana smiled as she nodded. "Yes, your Highness. I’ve seen a glimpse of what will happen to them while they embark on Kingdom Zephyra."
"Their assassination mission is bound to fail. Alaric and his men have a dark future in Kingdom Zephyra. They will be cornered by Zephyra’s royal knights."
Crown Prince Cassian fell silent when he heard that. He was worried about Princess Eve. He wondered if he should warn her and convince her not to go.
"I don’t care if Alaric and his men will die. But I am concerned about Princess Evelina. What did you see in your vision? Will she get in trouble?" Crown Prince Cassia asked Sylvana as he grabbed her shoulders.
"Yes. And that’s when you must make a move to rescue her. She will be indebted to you." Sylvana wanted to create an opportunity for Crown Prince Cassian to save Eve.
"Alaric’s mission is top secret. How will Kingdom Zephyra find out his plan?" Prince Cassian asked, pacing back and forth across his room as he thought hard.
This time Sylvana didn’t say a word. She decided to hide some things from Crown Prince Cassian.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Cassian had suspected something. "Does it mean there is a traitor here?! Someone who will spill the plan to Kingdom Zephyra."
Sylvana took a deep sigh. "Yes. That’s the main reason for this failure."
Crown Prince Cassian narrowed his eyes. Even Kingdom Averion was not safe from Kingdom Zephyra’s spy.
"We need to go back to Kingdom Eldara!" Crown Prince Cassian had made up his mind.
If Princess Eve would be in danger, he must prepare his knights for the rescue mission. There was still enough time to prepare before Alaric and his men set out on a journey to Kingdom Zephyra.
"I shall inform Chancellor Igrin that we will leave as soon as possible," Sylvana said, leaving Crown Prince Cassian’s quarters.
The moment Sylvana left, Prince Cassian was preoccupied by what she revealed. Even though Alaric would fail, there was no guarantee that he could die during the mission.
’Maybe I should also grab this opportunity to kill him. King Zaraki will be the one to blame for Alaric’s death.’ Prince Cassian thought to himself, plotting something against Alaric.
Knock! Knock!
His thoughts were interrupted by the knocking sound.
"Your Highness, Princess Alessandra is here to see you." Prince Cassian’s servant informed him.
"Let her in," Prince Cassian plainly responded.
In a few seconds, Princess Alessandra entered his chamber. He was only wearing his open robe at that time.
The princess didn’t expect to see him half-naked. ’Sylvana left just a while ago. Don’t tell me... the Seer is his woman?’
Alessandra clenched her fists at that thought. She was jealous. Crown Prince Cassian was so rude and cold toward her. But when it came to Sylvana and Eve, he was friendly and approachable.
"Why are you here, Princess Alessandra?" Crown Prince Cassian asked, pouring his glass with a wine.
"I’m here to talk to you. Are you not really considering marrying me?" Princess Alessandra directly confronted him.
"You have nothing to lose here. Marrying me is a good deal. Why are you so invested in my sister, Eve? I know she is younger than me. But she is already married. I have what she doesn’t have. Why can’t you choose me?"
Prince Cassian cocked his eyebrow upon hearing that. ’I think the royal family doesn’t know about Princess Evelina’s power. No wonder, they take her for granted as compared to the other royal siblings. They don’t know how important Princess Evelina is.’
"Princess Alessandra, you are wrong. Eve has something you don’t have. She has a good heart." Crown Prince Cassian defended Eve.
Princess Alessandra became more annoyed and frustrated upon hearing that.
"Good heart?!" She snickered. "Prince Cassian, don’t be blinded by her beauty. She is not even a real princess! She is the daughter of a servant! A servant whore who seduced my father!"
Alessandra could no longer take it. She had to reveal Eve’s origin so that Prince Cassian would feel disgusted by Eve.
’Oh. It’s not a surprise. No wonder Queen Amara is treating Princess Eve coldly.’ Prince Cassian thought, pursing his lips.
"She is ambitious and greedy just like her mother! Aren’t you afraid that she might take advantage of you?" Alessandra continued backstabbing Eve in front of Prince Cassian.
Prince Cassian couldn’t tolerate Alessandra for talking badly about Eve. She kept insulting her.
"Princess Alessandra, do you know that I’m so picky when it comes to women? What can you do for me? Are you even worthy to be my woman?" Prince Cassian moved closer to her, his fingers playing with the loose strand of her hair.
"What will you do if I tell you that I don’t need a wife? I have my Seer to warm my bed. Why would I choose you?" Prince Cassian was taunting her. He wanted to prove to her that she was not better than Eve.
With her competitive nature, Princess Alessandra wouldn’t back down from a challenge. Right now, Prince Cassian was a great challenge to her.
"I can also warm your bed... better than your Seer and Eve!" Princess Alessandra impulsively declared.
"Oh, Really?" Prince Cassian let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Have you experienced sleeping with a guy? Aren’t you a virgin anymore?"
Princess Alessandra was at a loss for words. That was a tricky question. If she told him she was still a virgin, Prince Cassian would doubt her ability to pleasure him in bed. If she told him she had experienced sleeping with men, he would definitely insult her as though she was a whore.
"Prince Cassian, everything can be learned!" Princess Alessandra chose her words carefully, not directly answering his question.
Prince Cassian chuckled once more.
"Fine. Do you want to try and give me a hand? I need to relieve myself. Can you do that, Princess?"
Alessandra: "..."
