Chapter 45 - A Risky Deal

“Why are you here?”

Ian looked at the Third Prince with a puzzled expression.

After all, this place was in front of the main palace.

It was a place heavily guarded by royal knights.

If the Third Prince had come, Ian would have known from the knights’ reaction.

However, the Third Prince was smiling very brightly.

“There is no place I cannot go to in this royal castle, my little brother.”

The Third Prince smiled broadly, saying that he would show him all parts of the royal castle.

“Want me to help you get out?”

Ian frowned slightly at the Third Prince’s smile.

‘Why is he being so kind to me? Is there anything he wants?’

Obviously, it wasn’t like this in his previous life.

The Third Prince just helped him out of pity.

So, instead of answering, Ian looked suspiciously at the Third Prince.

“First of all, I need to hear why you’re trying to help me.”

“What reason do I need to help my cute brother?”

“But to the other younger brothers…”

“Oh, not them.”

“…”

Ian sighed. He did need help anyway.

“I see. Then I will be under your care for a while, and I will use my brother’s pass…”

“A pass? Why would you need that?”

“What?”

Ian felt something ominous, but regardless, the Third Prince took Ian somewhere.

It was a thicket in the most remote part of the royal castle.

Ian was immediately wary of the appearance of the deserted place.

“This is the farthest place from the main gate.”

Even though Galon was next to him, Ian couldn’t believe the Third Prince brought him to such a secluded place.

‘Is he trying to kill me?’

Moreover, the Third Prince was said to be the greatest sword genius in history.

‘As expected, I shouldn’t have believed him.’
