Chapter 174: Yale’s Suspicions

Betrayal. If the eldest prince betrayed the kingdom with all his guards in charge of the security, killing whoever he wants wouldn’t be difficult. Moreover, although the king was still far stronger than the eldest prince who had just reached the Rank 9, the king wouldn’t be on guard in front of him, so the chances of the king being defeated by and sneak attack or a trap were high.

Yale had no proof for that guess, but it was very difficult that the capital reached the state Yale had seen in the vision without that kind of situation. In any case, there was nothing to lose for tracking Sebe and be aware of any sneak attack towards him; if Yale’s guess were wrong, they would have just lost a day.

“Listen, Shirk. It may be difficult to believe, but the eldest prince has enough power to provoke the situation in the prophecy. They were the ones in charge of security, so if they are traitors, killing anyone they wanted would be easy. In order to change the future we can’t neglect any option, follow Sebe and protect him from sneak attacks, be especially careful near those guards. I hope I am wrong, but we can’t play with Sebe’s life due to thinking it is impossible.”

Suspecting of someone from the royal family to be a traitor without solid proofs was a great sin, but Shirk had to admit that the eldest prince could turn that prophecy true with his power.

The fact the eldest prince longed for power wasn’t any secret, although no one thought that he would act unless the king died. However, with that sudden increase of power, the chances of the eldest prince trying to remove everyone who could be a problem for him in the future were high.

The prophecy only spoke about Sebe’s death, but there was no way he was the only victim because although Sebe was someone who had opposite ideas than the eldest prince, there were other princes more dangerous than him for the eldest prince.

Although Yale understood that, he didn’t have any plan to help the other princes because only Sebe was his friend, the destiny of the other princes weren’t important to him, nor he had an obligation to help them.

In fact, that was something that benefited Yale because as the other princes had higher importance than Sebe, the eldest prince wouldn’t attach a lot of importance to Sebe’s murder.

To catch all the princes off guard, they needed to be killed almost at the same time, which would force the lackeys of the eldest prince would need to disperse.

If all the forces of the eldest prince attacked together, Yale wasn’t sure of being able to save Sebe without using a trump card, but if they were dispersed, fooling them should be possible.

However, before thinking of how saving Sebe, Yale wanted to ensure the safety of his sisters. Yale knew that Wyba was in the house, but with the Bloodline Radar, he found that Aiwai was inside the castle, which was a problematic place.

“Shirk, do you know how to enter the castle today? My sister is inside.”

Yale’s understanding of the palace was too low, but Shirk was a guard, so his information should be better.

“Any other day, Sir Yale will be able to enter the palace even without my help, but today the only ones in charge of the doors are the eldest prince’s guards, and they had forbidden any access without the authorization of someone of the royal family. Even other guards and servants are unable to enter or exit without that authorization.”

Yale knew that usually to enter the castle, he wouldn’t have problems. He was asking Shirk just because that day was special and Shirk confirmed what he was fearing, the castle was isolated to anyone who wasn’t from the royal family.

“I will go to pick up Wyba. Follow Sebe for now; I will be there soon to help.”

Yale understood that to enter the castle he would need Sebe’s help and entering the castle was a must to ensure Aiwai’s safety.

Yale ran towards the room where Wyba was playing with some dolls Aiwai had made to her.

“Wyba, you need to come with me. The situation may turn dangerous, at that moment I will put you in the Storage Space, so don’t resist.”

Wyba didn’t understand the situation, nor she liked to be put in the Storage Space, but she noticed Yale’s worried expression and nodded obediently.

Yale could force Wyba into the Storage Space even without her consent, but he would need a bit more time if she resisted, and in a real battle that bit of time would be fatal.

One of the reasons to put Wyba in the Storage space was for her safety, but even if Yale had the possibility to leave Wyba in a perfectly secure place, Yale would still choose to put her in the Storage Space. The reason was simple, she wouldn’t be affected by the Time Bloodline inside the Storage Space, and Yale knew that he would need to use the Time Bloodline as it was a great help for any time-based skill.

Yale stored their belongings in spatial artifacts and in his Storage Space in case the house would be damaged, which seemed extremely possible seeing how the houses burned in the vision.

Most of the belongings Yale had picked up were the things they had carried from their old house, and Yale knew that Aiwai had a huge affection for them. He didn’t clear the house as perfectly as they did with their old house, but at least the most important things would be safe.

The only important thing Yale was unable to pick up was the Bloodline Fruit Tree, but there was nothing he could do as he doubted that he would be able to plant it again in less than an hour.

Although Yale was making a lot of preparations, he wasn’t sure that the eldest prince would be really a traitor, and there was a possibility that nothing would happen that day, but the possibility existed since the moment he had the vision.

After all, although the eldest prince had never shown intentions of betraying the kingdom and always showed intentions to inherit the kingdom rightfully, people could change, especially after a huge increase in power.

Yale chose to be paranoid; he would rather make an effort in vain than regret it later.

“Wyba, now we will look for Sebe, he is the only one who could help us to meet sis right now.”

Yale was hesitating about when asking for Sebe’s help, before the attack or after it. After all, even Sebe would have difficulties believing that his eldest brother was a traitor and Yale wasn’t even sure if that was the truth either.

After walking for a bit, Yale found Shirk and Sebe. Sebe was talking with some people which included two of his friends that Yale had met previously. Shirk wasn’t speaking to anyone; he was just hidden near Sebe looking at him.

Yale walked towards Sebe; he decided to ask him for help directly. Although he knew that speaking with him could alter the vision he had, the main reason for the incident wasn’t Sebe’s murder based in his guess, so Yale believed that even if Sebe were in another place, there wouldn’t be any delay in the start of that battle. However, Yale didn’t plan to say anything about the attack to Sebe; he just needed to enter the palace.

That was something possible for Yale, but impossible for Shirk because as a guard, he couldn’t go to talk casually with Sebe in public and ask him a favor.

“Oh, Yale. I thought you hated this kind of social events. I see that Wyba has also come, but she doesn’t seem too happy to be here.”

Sebe noticed quickly about Yale and Wyba; he had felt bad when he heard that they didn’t want to attend the party.

“I hate it, and Wyba also hates it. We don’t come here to attend the party; we need to speak with you in private.”

Nobody understood Yale’s intentions, but Sebe agreed anyway. Although Sebe believed that Yale was just a young kid, he didn’t doubt about Yale’s intelligence and that the fact Yale wanted to see him should have a good reason behind it.

“Sebe, I need to enter the palace to meet my sister as soon as possible. I can’t tell you the reasons right now, but it is important.”

Sebe didn’t expect such a request, but he saw that Yale was serious.

“I am sorry, even I can’t enter the palace today. Those guards from my eldest brother told me that I am too young to be in the palace with my brothers and sisters for today’s party and that I should spend the day at the party outside the palace.”

Sebe was upset by that, he liked to be with his friends outside, but he felt bad for being excluded from the palace just due to being the youngest prince. That kind of discrimination towards him was something that happened a lot when his siblings were in charge of organizing any event.
