Connad was against the idea. Perhaps if the blue-haired man pocketed the status of a friend instead of a guard, he would have said that the prince had gone mad for wanting to keep an unknown red rose in his chamber.
He had already expressed his suspicion that the red rose might be dangerous, but the prince was acting like he was deaf.
Unfortunately, Prince Reigen's decision could not be changed even though Connad gave him a strange look.
The prince knew that the blue-eyed man was worried for his safety, but he still wanted to keep the red rose nearby so he could observe any changes that might occur to the red rose.
In the end, the prince indeed brought the mysterious red rose into his chamber.
Placing the red rose vase on his bedside table, he continued to stare at the rose as if it had an interesting secret within it. He had killed all the Wemor witches, so he couldn't question them about the red rose.
He only knew that the red rose was unusual because the witches had purposely locked the flower indoors in the old tower. He just had to find the reason behind it.
"Connad said that an evil spirit might possess this flower, so is it true that it's an evil red rose?" Prince Reigen began his monologue.
There was only him in the chamber. The chamber belonged to the princess of Shovalon before, but he had decorated the chamber so that the look of the chamber suited his taste now.
The prince didn't even know what the princess of Shovalon looked like, so he could carelessly claim the spacious chamber as his.
He assumed that he didn't need to care about someone who was no longer in the world.
The red rose was on the nightstand, and Prince Reigen dared to stretch out his hand, wanting to touch the red flower. He wasn't a coward in the first place, so touching wildflowers shouldn't be a big deal for him.
He knew that red roses had sharp thorns, and that was why he directed his hand at the red petals of the red rose. Nothing happened when the epidermis came into contact with the petals. It wasn't that the petals were poisonous and would hurt him just because he touched them.
There was nothing special about the petals, so he pulled his hand away from the rose. "If the witches locked this rose in the tower because they couldn't control it, then this rose should have some power, right? But nothing happened when I touched it, so maybe Connad made the wrong hypothesis this time."
He still remembered Connad's theory, but he immediately brushed it out of his mind because the red flower was harmless. The rose didn't turn wild even after he touched it, so maybe it wasn't as dangerous as in his guard's theory.
Sighing heavily, Prince Reigen still knew nothing about the red rose even after observing it for a while. He indeed had studied the witches for years, but he had not studied their magic. He knew that witches used evil spells, and he had no interest in such practices.
"I will ask someone about this rose tomorrow, but now I'd better take a bath before going to sleep," the prince spoke to himself once again before getting up from his bed.
The prince was dressed in black and maroon today, and he started stripping in the chamber. He could have asked the maids to help him take a bath, but he never did such a thing. He wouldn't let the lowly maids see his perfect body.
His body was indeed perfect. He was a man who was so close with swords, but there was no single wound on his body except for the fresh wound on his left arm and his right leg. He got those wounds from Sharass, but they had been treated by the royal doctor.
He didn't mind getting those injuries. To him, the injuries were like a memento he got from his actual fight. Before he fought Sharass, he had never fought with a real enemy. That was the reason why his body was free of wounds.
He often trained with the soldiers in the army, but the soldiers did not dare to harm the prince of Breviel. In the end, the prince's body remained free of wounds.
The black-haired prince had a habit of stripping in his room before going to the royal bathing pool. To him, it was convenient because all he had to do was dive into the water without needing to strip down in front of the lowborn maids.
He would only wear a robe when he headed to the bathing pool, and he would enter the water along with the robe because he was too stingy. He wouldn't let the maids catch a glimpse of his toned body.
He was completely naked now, showing off his toned arms, broad chest, as well as the six pax that resembled an array of bricks on his stomach.
Even his legs looked so long and slender, and his buttocks looked sturdy too. The prince was always full of himself, and he even walked towards the big mirror and stood there for a while to admire his body.
He ran his hand through his black locks and silently praised his look. No one knew his narcissistic side, but he indeed loved his own body and look.
After being satisfied to see his body through the reflection of the mirror, the prince immediately grabbed one of the robes and put it on his body. He then opened the door and headed to the bathroom.
Now there was only a red rose in the chamber, and the red rose witnessed how the prince shamelessly stripped himself and even admired his own body.
'Why did I end up in this chamber? I know that it was my chamber before I was cursed, but why did that perverted prince bring me here? What should I do when I change into my human form tomorrow? Oh! And I also have to get rid of the image of his naked body soon!'
