Nightfall.
Looking at the castle gradually lit up the lights, Stephen reflexively closed his eyes, he turned around, at this moment Stephen, face not only did not have the same kind of arrogant expression before, and even showed great fear. In front of him, Prince Heine was sitting there quietly, gazing at the castle, a gentle smile appeared.
"I'm terribly sorry, Your Royal Highness, I ..."
"I would have expected you to be the leader of this investigation team, Mr. Stephen."
Prince Heine's voice was smooth, but Stephen felt a chill instantly surging up from his back, and he tried his best to hold back the instinctive fear, and it was only the pride of a strong man that prevented him from falling to the ground and shivering like the others. But even so, Stephen clenched his teeth, he dared not say anything, he could not say anything. Otherwise, if he opened his mouth, he could not help but scream in terror.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
The icy killing intent disappeared, and Steven breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't know why this is the case ... This is the order of the Lord of Cthulhu, and there is no way for me to disobey it."
To be honest, when Steven learned of this news, he was also very confused. Originally, he thought that relying on his status and position, becoming the leader of this investigation team should be a sure thing. But he didn't expect that Wendy would actually take the initiative to hand over the leadership to that damned little girl. This alone had already made Stephen quite miscalculated. Originally in Stephen's plan, if he was in charge, then he could create all kinds of accidents, after all, although the magician has a very high level of attainment in magic, but outside of that, it is very weak. Steven was absolutely sure that he could accomplish his original mission. But now, all of this has become a failure.
"The teenager ... How did he find us?"
"..."
In the face of the prince's question, Stephen was silent. In fact, he could not understand, the secret contact because it is very perfect right, and along the way, Stephen also did not find Jared has felt his own to the prince and his entourage to leave a mark of signs, even when Jared found the prince and his entourage hiding place, even the beginning of the chrysalis of him, did not have the slightest feeling that the prince has come to the vicinity.
"Do you know what his natural ability is?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is not something I was aware of."
"Forget it."
The prince smiled gently, outwardly seeming not to mind, but what he then said was anything but.
"Just catch him, then everything will make sense."
With that, the prince leaned a little toward the fire, and then continued to gaze at Stephen before him.
"Mission-wise, you don't want to screw up, or else I don't think you'd want to face that kind of punishment ... That's right."
"Yes, Your Highness. Then, I'll go and monitor their movements now."
Knowing that it was useless to say anything more, Stephen saluted and prepared to leave, but the prince stopped him as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, who's the lady?"
"Which one do you mean?"
After all, almost all of the investigative team, with the exception of Jared and Stephen, were teenage girls. Even Steven was a little confused by the generalization.
"It's that young girl with the beautiful two-colored pupils."
The prince rose to his feet, his eyes filled with wild joy.
"I didn't expect to meet such a strange maiden in such a place ... What is her name?"
"Your Highness, her name is Caroline Deidreville Louise. Like Jared, she's a Wizard's Keeper."
"I'll take it."
Prince Heine's next words made Stephen even lost his voice, although he had already known that this prince was quite loose in some aspects of his private life, but this was not the time to talk about such things. He gave a furtive look to the old man behind the prince, but he just stared back at him coldly, without any intention to come forward to help. So Steven had to speak up, hoping to dissuade the prince from the idea.
"Your Highness, but ..."
"I don't care what method you use, you must get her, that maiden ..." said Prince Heine, pausing for a moment, then he actually laughed." I must have her, such a woman no one but me is entitled to enjoy. You know what I mean, Stefan. Bring her to me, she's mine."
"This ..."
Stephen was speechless for a moment.
Bring it in?
Does His Royal Highness think this is some random village girl in a country village?
Because Caroline seldom rush before Jared in the daytime to fight the reason, Stephen has never seen her fighting style. However, the heart to heart, so looks beautiful weak a young girl, Jared actually assured that she stayed behind their own, and in the battle time completely not to protect her appearance, then the strength of the young girl is certainly not vegetarian. Jared's strength Steven is very clear, he can even and his own stand as a tie, from this inference, Caroline is very likely with Jared difference. This kind of character, how can it be said that the kidnapping can be kidnapped? Maybe it's easier to get those magicians!
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
"I understand, Your Highness."
Stephen bent gently, then disappeared into the darkness of the night.
And right now in the castle, Jared was sitting in a chair with a smirk on his face, fiddling with the silver knives that had corroded a bit in his hands.
"Want Caroline? That prince is really bold too."
Jared then coldly grunted, smooth hand upward, only to see a silver flash quickly shot out of his palm, not biased and not follow the insertion in the center of the stone crack. Caroline's expression was also very helpless, after all, she was the one who was responsible for listening and relaying the message, in this situation, saying such news made her feel very embarrassed and also a little worried. Caroline watched Jared uneasily, obviously guessing what he was thinking, but in fact, she basically had already guessed Jared's decision.
"The guy who dares to steal a woman from me can never be allowed to go back alive."
Jared sounded flat as a matter of course, while Caroline sighed softly.
(If I'm not ...)
"Wouldn't that be nice?"
Jared interrupted Caroline with a smile.
"Hold your head up and be confident, Caroline. Being able to attract a man should be the highest compliment a woman can receive, and it shows that your beauty has such charm."
(But then, your country has an old saying about the beauty of a woman.)
Caroline gently shook her head, in fact, her appearance for the two have brought trouble is not the first time, not to mention that beautiful appearance, alone that pair of color different pupils, often make Caroline become the center of attention. And almost every time to help her to solve the problem is Jared, although he did not particularly have any complaints about this, but Caroline herself is often self-condemnation, if they are not like this, if their eyes ...
"What, you hate that? I like it."
Jared shrugged his shoulders.
"It's not that easy for a woman with a face to destroy a country. A woman with a face can destroy a country as a fairy tale to listen to things like this is okay, but really in reality, only the talent and beauty of both, and has the extreme charm of the woman, can afford to take this title. In front of their charms, even things like the country will be defeated, isn't that a kind of praise?"
（But that could lead to a lot of unforeseen trouble, couldn't it?)
"Make no mistake, Caroline."
Jared's tone turned serious as he stared into Caroline's different-colored eyes, as if he saw the conflict within her.
"I can't be around you if I'm afraid to run away from trouble of this magnitude. It's cowardly to put up with this, and that kind of person can't be good enough for you, can he?"
Caroline was silent for a moment, and then gave a little laugh.
(From what you're saying, it seems like there's no other man in the world who's good enough for me besides you.)
"It's the truth ..."
Jared has the chutzpah to acknowledge Caroline's claim.
(You really are ...)
"Knock, knock, knock."
Before Caroline could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door. Then, Kelly and Serenity walked in. Jared looked over at them curiously and asked jokingly.
"What's the matter? Do you want to sleep with me, ladies, if you're not in bed at this time of night?"
"Stop dreaming!"
Kelly glared back at him, but Serenity just ignored him and reported back to Jared.
"Mr. Jared, Miss Kelly and I believe that someone should keep watch during the night, or there may be danger. After all, Lord Stephen and Prince Heine should be nearby, so I think someone should be in charge of the night watch. In case of any danger, we can react."
"Whatever."
Jared didn't say anything about not being on watch, but after all, Serenity's offer was a reasonable one. After all, Serenity's suggestion was reasonable. In this case, a little more caution was a little more insurance. So Serenity nodded, and immediately turned around and walked out the door, without the intention of staying in the room for a moment. Kylie looked at Caroline with a complicated expression, then shook her head and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Jared.
"Kelly, there's something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"That Serenity she ..." Jared made a gesture, he didn't seem to know what to say." Seems to be not the same as the normal wizard?"
"Indeed it is true."
Although she didn't know why Jared would ask this question, Kylie answered his question seriously. Because the Tower of Emerald Green and the Tower of Helium had a close relationship, Kylie also had a little knowledge in this area." Serenity-sama is the adjutant of the Lord of Helium, and I heard that she was born in the army before becoming a magician, so she's not quite the same as a normal magician. As for some of the reasons, it is not my ability to know ..." said here, Kylie stopped talking and gazed at Jared suspiciously.
"Don't worry, I won't get her into bed, at least not now."
"... So, I'm off to rest."
Jared's jokes were not for everyone, and Kelly gave him a cold stare before turning to leave. Jared watched as the door closed behind him and smiled helplessly.
(Ms. Kelly's personality is very serious. She'll hate you if you joke around like that.)
Caroline said, getting up and going to the window.
In the darkness of the forest, a faint firelight was shining, and she gazed at it for a moment, then her expression changed slightly.
(I think we've got some trouble to deal with...)
Then, without looking back, Caroline said to Jared.
