Mr. 4, who had been assigned by Aslan to monitor Duke Coby's movements from the start, frowned in surprise when he saw Prince Howland arrive at his uncle's residence. Shouldn't the prince be in Westalis to capture Aslan?
Everything that was happening right now was beyond their plans. And after listening to what had happened between Aslan and Howland, M. 4 fell silent for a moment.
He could hardly believe what he was hearing. Shit! If Aslan returned to Westalis and handed over Princess Roseanne's body, they would most likely fall into a trap.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Mr. 4 tried to stay calm and think of a way. He couldn't use his magic stone inside Duke Coby's residence because Duke Coby was also a magic user. If he used it, Duke Coby would immediately know that someone other than himself was using magic.
