CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE – UNEXPECTED VISITOR
*******
'What the f*cking hell is he doing in here?!'
The former assassin looked at the person who suddenly shows up (more like barged into) without warning and thinks that he owns this place.
'Can I just f*cking kill this person and erased his entire existence?'
Well, that would be the former assassin's usual response if he was in a bad mood or if someone provoked him without reason.
However, that would be no longer the case anymore…. Yet.
Since he reincarnated into this world and occupying the body of a prince of this Empire, even if it's just a prince-name only, he needs to restrain his usual bloodlust for killing.
'I don't remember this brat having a conversation with the original owner in their early childhood and based on the original's memories, they haven't much interaction until their adulthood so, what change?'
Tsk. What now?
× … A FEW MINUTES AGO…. ×
After he cleaned up everything and kept the book hidden in his spatial necklace that the Crown Prince gifted to him, he deactivated the barrier around his room.
Since he doesn't have anything to do, he'll just busy himself training his body and after that, he'll meet with the Crown Prince.
As he was ready to set for today, a knock was heard and he just stated to come in while doing whatever he is doing and after that, he looked at the person who came into and it was one servant here, more specifically, his personal attendant that the Crown Prince personally picked for him.
"Is there something you need? I specifically ordered that I won't be disturbed for a moment."
The attendant, namely Rouen, knowing that this little prince was under the protection of Crown Prince Eugene, and can be considered as one of the Crown Prince's people. Rouen didn't dare to show disrespect and gave a proper response according to his status.
"Forgive this servant for failing to follow your instructions but… Fifth Prince Laurence, you have a guest and this servant tried to reason out with them by saying that you're not to be disturbed but…"
Laurence raised his hand to stop him from speaking any further because he already had a hunch on why Rouen failed to stop whoever wants to visit him unexpectedly.
In this world were those people in power reigns superior, it looks like whoever this person who suddenly comes to him is someone who is in power, so it's understandable that Rouen wouldn't dare to disobey and since he is also one of the Crown Prince's people, he wouldn't dare to tarnish his master's reputation.
'However, it's a different case if it's me. If only I was back in my world, I would just outright ignore this whoever that person is but since I am just a "wastrel prince" in their eyes, I need to act accordingly on how the original owner acts in front of others.'
Laurence; "Take me to that person. We can't let them have a say about us or the Crown Prince. I won't let them tarnish my brother's reputation. This is the least I can do to help him."
Although look timid, Rouen can see the determination of the little prince as he said those words and as one of the trusted subjects of the Crown Prince's faction, Rouen smiled and because of that, the former assassin gain Rouen's respect without knowing.
After that, Rouen guided the little prince to the other side of the palace, where the guest was waiting for them. Rouen had to admit that he was a little worried about the Fifth Prince if he was going to confront that person.
Who wouldn't know about the story of the Fifth Prince?
An unwanted child of the King and an outcast because of his inability to manifest an affinity, practically labelled him as nothing but a trash.
As someone who came from a Baron household who didn't have the rights to shine because Rouen is one of his father's illegitimate children, he also suffers the same treatment, just like how the Fifth Prince was labelled as an outcast.
Although no one would dare to hurt the Fifth Prince physically and the most would others do is to gossip about his incompetence since no matter what happens, he is still a royal prince of Truman Empire and harming a royalty is equivalent to raising a rebellion against the Empire.
Rouen noticed they had reached the room where the guest was and before he could speak, the Fifth Prince raised his hand, commanding him to stop.
"I'll take from here, Sir Rouen. Thank you for guiding me here. I'll call upon if there is anything needed. You may dismiss."
Since the Fifth Prince had spoken, Rouen didn't have a choice but to comply and could only report this matter to the Crown Prince so that if anything happened, the Crown Prince would intervene.
"As you wish, Your Highness."
With that, Laurence entered the guest room to greet (or much better, to confront) whoever this person wants to meet him.
....

× ….. PRESENT ... ×
As if an angel passed by because of the silence between the two, Laurence looked timid but bearing the aura of a royalty as he looked at the person seated on the opposite side who didn't speak as he entered the guest room.
'Tsk! Just like his mother, who is arrogant. What do I expect from them?'
As much as he wanted to chase off this person, he couldn't do it.
The person who unexpectedly visits (more like barging into) without formal invitation is none other than the first young master from Duke Albert Household….
Alejandro Francois Albert.
