"Ssshhh!" the man put a finger in front of the prince's face and shut him up. "We know who you are, Prince Felix. We know what your place in the royal family is as well."
"In terms of importance, you would be the fourth most important child of the emperor, we do know that. We also know that a father never truly loves his children based on their merits, so he will do anything to save you," the man said.
"Wha— What do you want?" the prince's face got serious.
"Hmm… we came across a special tidbit about the zoo from someone. Do you know what it was?" the man asked.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" the prince asked.
