Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lisa was a little puzzled. Why was everyone standing there?

And it even seemed like they had been standing there for a long time.

However, Lisa did not have the time to dwell on this question. She walked directly towards Alan, and asked with some concern upon reaching Alan’s side, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Alan was a little haggard. After all, he had been standing on the spot for so long. Even an advanced powerhouse would not be able to stand it.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ve brought Duke Edna here,” Seeing Alan’s haggard appearance, Lisa thought that he had been punished by Prince Seidan, so she comforted him.

After hearing this, Alan’s eyes instantly lit up. Duke Edna was a tier 8 knight. His combat strength was very terrifying, and he held an important position in the Country of Langham.

Alan didn’t expect that the William Family could get him here!

At the same time, Prince Seidan also noticed Duke Edna, and his eyes lit up as well.

Duke Edna was a top-notch tier 8 knight who was just about to advance to tier 9. Even in the neighboring countries, he was a powerhouse that no one dared to provoke.

As a Duke of the Royal Family, he couldn’t leave the Prince in such a predicament.

Edna narrowed his small eyes. He already knew that Alan was being held hostage by Prince Seidan. The William Family had spent quite some valuables to get him to come. With his status, even Prince Seidan had to give him some face.

“Your Highness, Family Head Lowe has asked me to bring Alan home. I wonder if Your Highness will allow me to do so?”

“Hahaha, Duke Seidan you must be joking. I have no use in holding him here, you can bring him away anytime you want,” Prince Seidan laughed heartily. With his status, he could naturally guess that the William Family must have given some benefits to Edna. Otherwise, Duke Edna would definitely not have interfered in this matter.

Now, it was just so that he could do the Duke a favor.

Edna was an experienced and shrewd person. The only reason Prince Seidan could agree to his request so easily was most probably because he had a favor to ask of him. Thus, Duke Edna did not dawdle and directly asked, “Your Highness, is there anything you need my help with?”

Alan who was listening at the side secretly gritted his teeth. His family must have promised quite a sum of benefits for Edna to come for him, but Prince Seidan had made Edna take the initiative to offer his help with just a few words. How could he accept this?

However, when Alan thought of the situation he was in and his status, he did not dare to say anything more.

“Of course. Get the Master of this castle to come out and see me! If he refuses to do so, just raze the castle to the ground!”

Prince Seidan’s eyes were cold and filled with red.

He had been suppressing his anger for a long time. Edna’s arrival had caused his anger to erupt completely.

When Edna heard this, he furrowed his brows tightly. He was an experienced old man who had seen much of the world.

On his way here, Duke Edna had already discovered the chasm in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The chasm had almost penetrated the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range, telling Duke Edna that the person who had caused it must be an advanced powerhouse whose strength might not be inferior to Edna’s.

Adding all the information to the expressions and attitudes of the people when he arrived, it was not difficult for him to determine that Prince Seidan had offended an advanced powerhouse.

However, when he thought about how he could do the Royal Family a favor by agreeing, he still agreed.

“Okay,” Edna agreed and walked towards the castle.

“Get your Master out,” Duke Edna’s voice was very low, and there was a faint trace of combat aura mixed in it, which made people want to submit to him.

“Hey, it seems that they haven’t left yet!” Autumn, who was in the castle, heard this voice and said to Thor.

This sentence seemed to wake Thor up. She patted her forehead and said in annoyance, “Oh gosh, I forgot about them!”

“What is happening outside?” Eddie asked curiously. He had been awake for quite some time now, but he knew nothing about what had happened before.

“Master, when you were resting, a group of people came, saying that they wanted to do some business with you about the perfume. But you were sleeping just now, so I asked them to wait outside,” Thor said innocently while she lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

“Hm, since they haven’t left yet, let’s invite them in,” Eddie didn’t think too much about it. After all, the perfume business was very popular, and many people wanted to do business with him.

“Okay,” Seeing that Eddie didn’t blame her, Thor immediately smiled as she skipped to the outside of the castle.

“Come in!” Opening the door, Thor did not have a good attitude towards this group of people and said coldly.

This tone and attitude made Edna somewhat displeased.

He was an Earl of the Country of Langham, a top-notch tier 8 knight!

Even the Royalty would not dare to have such an attitude when facing him.

However, thinking that this castle might also have an advanced powerhouse, Edna did not care too much.

The instant Prince Seidan saw the castle gates open, countless methods of torturing the Master of this castle flashed through his mind. However, he knew that he had yet to obtain the formula for the perfume, so he was not prepared to reveal his true colors.

The group of people followed Thor into the small castle. The minute they entered, they were instantly stunned by the scene before them.

Was this a castle that a small noble could have?

The magnificent decorations and the luxuriousness of everything were comparable to the Palace in the Imperial Capital!

Edna appeared much calmer. After all, he was an earl, thus he had seen much of the luxuries.

Thor brought them to the hall where Eddie was and said, “Master, they are here.”

Eddie raised his head and looked at Prince Seidan and the others. He said with a smile, “Everyone, please take a seat.”

Prince Seidan unceremoniously sat across from Eddie. His eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc as he stared fixedly at Eddie.

At that moment, he wanted to kill this “Master” a thousand times. Scratch that, he wanted to torture him a thousand times before killing him a thousand times.

Only by doing so did Prince Seidna feel that he could wash away the humiliation he had suffered today.

However, he could not reveal his true thoughts now, thus Prince Seidan merely said, “Let me introduce myself. I am a member of the Royal Family of the Country of Langham. King Andrew is my father.”

As he said this, Prince Seidan’s face showed an extremely proud expression.

Prince Seidan thought matter-of-factly that such a small baron would kneel and kowtow to him the moment he knew of his identity.

“Yeah, are you here to discuss the perfume business with me?” Eddie nodded and asked very calmly.

Eddie’s reaction made Prince Seidan dumbfounded. What was going on?

Could it be that this small baron didn’t know what the Royal Family was?

Or perhaps he didn’t know who Andrew was?

“I’m the Prince! The Prince of the Country of Langham!!” Seidan was a little anxious. He shouted at Eddie, seemingly having no care about his image anymore.

“I know. So what? Do you want me to make a sign for you to tell everyone you’re the Prince?”

Eddie’s ears were hurting from Prince Seidan’s loud voice. He couldn’t help but reach out and pick his ears.

In Prince Seidan’s eyes, Eddie’s actions were simply contempt for him. It was humiliation!!
