Crown Prince?!

“Oh, that’s right!” The knight went back into his master’s room as he kneeled down before his master once more. “Is there anything else?” His master asked the knight responded quite quickly because he knew that his master did not like having to wait for others “When I was in the shopping district there seemed to be another person watching the maiden and her maidservant.” “Oh?” The chilling voice said although nobody could see it because no one dared to look him in the eye he frowned slightly upon hearing what his knight has told him. “Hm. Did she talk to anybody?” The voice asked, “Uh not that I-oh!” The knight exclaimed as he quickly informed his master “The maiden did indeed talk to somebody and it seemed that the person they talked with was not very liked by both the maid and the maiden.” Upon hearing the words “both the maid and the maiden” the knight’s master was quite intrigued “both the maid and the maiden?” The knight replied, “Yes during there conversation the man grabbed the lady’s hand and seemed to have said something which angered the maid.” The room was silent for a few moments until the knight’s master asked “What did the man look like?” The knight stood up respectfully and replied “The man was very good looking, he had very distinct features. He has dark black hair and he wore a light blue embroidered outfit that seemed to be the outfit given to one of the other princes. What was it called again uh-“ “Light Sapphire” the knight’s master interrupted “alright you can go” the voice commanded. The knight walked out of his master’s room and continued with his daily duties. The knight was still quite shocked about how he managed to talk to his master once more without getting killed in which he said right after closing the door to his master’s door “This. Is incredible! But am I seriously not dreaming?”

In Jiang Palace, Jia Shang was growing more and more impatient by the second “When will he be back! It’s been so long since I left the shopping district. How come he isn’t back yet!” He shouted as the servant next to him peeled some grapes for him to eat he suddenly stood up. Pacing back and forth Jia Shang continued to complain after an hour or so his legs felt tired so he decided to go sit down again. Just as he was about to sit down someone opened the door. “Master!” It was his knight! Seeing that his knight has returned he wasted no time to begin scolding the knight for how slow he was “Oh so you finally decided to come back huh?! Do you know how long it took for you to watch over a girl and her maid! I think you haven’t been taking your job seriously. Who do you think yo-“

“Master! This is urgent! When I was watching over those to girls I had it be extra careful because it seemed like there was another person watching those two girls as well.” Jia Shang’s knight interrupted. Jia Shang’s eyes grew wider as he continued to hear what his knight has said. “Are you sure?” Jia Shang asked as he looked down at the knight that was still kneeling on the floor in front of him. “I want everybody except Li (the knight) out!” The servants who were in the room all stopped what they were doing and left one by one and slowly the only people that were left in the room were Jia Shang and his knight. “Explain.” Jia Shang said as his gaze fixed upon his knight and it seemed that not even a drop of dust could escape Jia Shang’s eyes. “When I was watching over the girls like you asked I heard some noises on the tree to my right. I stopped in my tracks and then I heard the tree on my right ruffle again. Though it was a windy day I didn’t want to risk getting caught. Afterward, I continued to stay in the tree and it was only after I made sure to triple check that no one was left in the tree did I leave.” The knight explained as he kneeled down to his master once again, nobody spoke for a few moments only until a few moments later did Jia Shang ask the knight to leave.

“What do you think?” Jia Shang asked while turning his head to look at the roof. There was no reply suddenly a person dressed in black jumped down from the roof and responded: “His story can be trusted but what you should focus on is what if there was actually a person in that tree?” The person in black sat on the seat that Jia Shang sat in moments ago but for some reason, the air in the room was completely different. Jia Shang looked like some rich family’s child when he sat on the seat but when the man dressed in black sat on the seat it gave off a fierce vibe. “If there was actually a person in the tree that would be a problem.” The man explained. ”There most likely was someone in the tree. Among all my knights Li is most sensitive to his surroundings. How dare someone try and covet something that I, Jia Shang has liked!” Jia Shang shouted with an aggravated look on his face. The man dressed in black quickly reprimanded “You fool! Who cares about that! What you should be worried about is who that girl is? It’s obvious that if someone was really watching that girl the girl either has some purpose to them or since the girl has caught your eyes she would have to be quite a beauty. The problem is that if there was a person who was watching the girl that person’s skill should be very great if one of your knights was not sure if there actually was a person in the tree. Not that your knight’s skills are that good but they’re decent enough.” These words both frustrated and enlightened Jia Shang. How could he say that this prince’s knight’s skills weren’t that good! But no matter what, partially what this old man is saying is indeed true. That was what he thought about the man that was sitting in front of him. “Do you mean to say that if the person that was also watching over the girl’s skills were great enough to the point that my knight couldn’t detect him 100%? The only people that would be able to train such knights would be either the 3rd prince or the crown prince.” Jia Shang asked as he began to ponder over which of his brothers could it have been if there was actually someone there. “Are you dumb?!” The man dressed in black said as he threw his arms up in disbelief! How could someone as stupid as the idiot before him be a prince? Did he bump his head when he was a kid? “The 3rd prince may be strong but he has no intention of claiming the throne.” The man dressed in black explained. “Then that would mean that the only person who it could be is the... CROWN PRINCE!” Both of them shouted.
