Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



975 Chapter 975: Please don't make us

The Guards started searching for the Prince throughout the city. They started from the Inner City. Every single house was searched. And during this time, the Guards also took advantage of the situation.

They searched every house thoroughly, and every suspicious person in the city was killed along the way, accused of being a spy for the enemy.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the infiltrator was dragged to the torture room for interrogation. And the King personally handled this interrogation.

Karyk's shadow also followed the King to see the outcome of this interrogation.

After searching through the inner city and failing, the Guards extended their search towards the outer region of the city.

They again went from house to house, the number of guards being increased even more. Every person in the outer region of the city was scared as they saw so many royal guards come to their area.

Most were trembling when approached by the guards. Some even died in fear as the Royal Guards never left the inner city under normal circumstances.

Even when the guests were to be brought back from the shore, the task was handed over to people from the outer city. The guards only escorted the guests back from the Inner City threshold.

"I think your family has already found out that you have escaped." Karyk was standing in the open, next to the Prince. "I can already hear some commotion. You should return."

"Tsk."

The Prince clicked his tongue. He thought that no one was going to find out that he was missing until he returned himself in the morning.

He had made sure that no one could know his absence, so how did they find out? Did his mother go to his room to check? He wondered.

"I thought I could stay until the morning. But it is fine. Even if I go back now, I have proved that I can walk safely. They might allow me to come out next time." The Prince was highly optimistic, even in this situation.

Only Karyk knew that the Prince was wrong. No matter what he did, he was never going to be allowed to come out. If anything, tomorrow might be his last day.

'His death and Heaven's descent... I wonder how this unfolds.'

Karyk was quite intrigued about the future. If it was the reality, he might have thought about changing a few things, but he knew that it was nothing more than the forgotten past mentioned in the book.

He was not here to change things. He was just here to be a spectator and observe the destruction of this civilization.

"I will go back, but you will come with me."

The young prince held Karyk's hand and asked towards the commotion.

The moment the Guards saw him, they all sighed in relief. The Prince was safe. They had finally found him.

"You! Take your hand off the Prince if you don't want to die!" One of the guards told Karyk.

"I am not holding him." Karyk raised his hand, revealing that the Prince was holding his hand instead.

"Y-your highness, this is...?"

The Head Servant who accompanied the guards in the search stepped forward, confused. Why was the Prince holding the band of an insignificant person who lived in the outer city?

At first, he thought that the Prince was being threatened and held as a hostage. But if that was the case, why would he be brought here? The Prince could have easily been killed before they could even find him.

"I came out of the Palace to see the city. This man helped me a lot, so he is my friend. I want him to attend my birthday celebration. He will be coming back with me."

"But Your Highness, this man is from..."

The Head Servant had a disgusting look on his face when he looked at Karyk. Even the influential people in the inner city were insignificant before the Royal Blood, let alone this man who looked like a beggar and lived in this pathetic place.

"This man is using you to climb higher. Don't be fooled by him! Many powerful and influential guests will be coming. How can we lower the prestige of that event with the presence of this man?"

"That is impossible. I hadn't told him my identity when he first helped me. Hence, you are wrong! In any case, it doesn't matter!"

"It is my birthday, and as a Prince, I am telling you. I want him at the celebration. Or are you saying that my friend will lower the prestige of my own birthday?"

The Prince had always been kept hidden from the world in the palace. He always did as he was told, but this time, he had seen the outside world. He also had things that he wanted, and now, he didn't want to keep his thoughts buried beneath a fake

persona.

"If you don't take him, I won't go back either!"

"Your Highness, please don't make us use force," the Head Servant said, bowing respectfully. "We only wish for your safety."

The Prince released Karyk's hand. Seeing his reaction, the Head Guard smiled. The Prince was listening, or so he thought.

He realized that the reality was completely opposite. The Prince wasn't coming towards them. Instead, he looked like he was preparing to fight back.

"Try using force and I will have to fight back!"

His clothes changed into royal attire.

The Head Servant hesitated. If they actually fought, it wasn't good. They might

accidentally hurt the Prince if he was fighting back.

The King had reminded him that the Prince wasn't to be harmed. The Prince's safety

was more important than anything.

After a brief pause, the old man sighed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Fine. You can bring him with us. His Majesty will decide if this demand is to be

accepted or not. I can only bring him back with us and try to convince him for you."

"Much better." The Prince held Karyk's hand again and walked back towards the Palace, accompanied by the Guards from all sides.
