Governor Fred's face was grim as he left Prince Lexie's tent.
He had expected that this Holy Knight of royal descent, returning in glory, could serve as the Empire's anchor. Nevertheless, it now seemed that he could, instead, become the source of calamity.
It wasn't that Fred didn't want to kill Colin Angler, but he realized that even if he managed to kill him now, what was he to do about the robust and imposing Northern Army?
If handled poorly, it could trigger a widespread civil unrest across the Empire.
Moreover, how easy could it be to murder Colin Angler while he was under the protection of Duke St. Gregorian?
On the other hand, assassinating Prince Harrison would be much simpler and wouldn't cause great upheaval.
However, seeing Prince Lexie's resolute stance, Governor Fred felt a headache coming on.
Could Prince Harrison truly be Prince Lexie's illegitimate son?
