Chapter 1130 52. Prince Aidan's Gift

Prince Aidan was still taken away.

Is there a feud between the Elven Court and the Kingdom of Paem? Annan didn't know, but the Elven Court couldn't torture them to extract a confession...

When the elf guard was about to leave, Annan followed him and asked, "Do you know what that explosion over there is?"

The tall elven guard remained silent.

"It seems you know what's going on over there?"

The elf guard glanced at Annan who was approaching him and said, "I won't tell you."

"Why? Just because I stopped you just now?"

Annan was very persistent. "It's very simple. There are three reasons why I stopped you from arresting him. First, I am your quasi-ally. I have the right to stop you when I see you making a wrong move. Second, Prince Aidan is not an ordinary person. He is the prince of the Kingdom of Paem and the son of the Thirteenth Supreme King. Your arrest of him is a serious diplomatic incident. Third, he was with me most of the time and he has an alibi when the incident happened."

"He's human."

"Is that why? You doubting him because he's human is as disrespectful as assuming I'm promiscuous because I'm a warlock!"

"You humans are the original sin." The elf guard said in a cold tone.

"Okay, I won't argue with you on this, but you should at least tell me what happened. Maybe I can help."

The elf guard had never seen such a persistent guy, so his attitude softened a little and he talked about the explosion with indignation.

"...If Master Emerald hadn't intervened, the explosion would have killed or injured at least one elder and hundreds of elves."

"Are you saying that the murderer left a death notice as a provocation?" Annan seemed to be thinking about something.

"Do you know the murderer?"

"I don't know, but if you take me to the scene, maybe we can find out something."

Faced with Annan's increasing demands, the elf guard told him not to even think about it.

"Then you have to tell me more information, right?"

After a little hesitation, the elven guard officer told the news that "Shadow" had previously conducted a secret investigation and had lost more than a dozen soldiers, and even the archmage who was called for help was missing.

Even in the Elf Royal Court, the Archmage is not like potatoes in the field that can be grown one after another.

"It seems that the enemy is very strong...so they can screen out the messengers whose strength is not higher than that of the master?" Annan asked.

"doing."

"Then why did you capture Prince Aidan?"

"He went out with you."

I didn't expect that Prince Aidan was targeted because of me...

"I'll keep an eye on it for you too," Annan said.

"Thanks……"

The words of thanks came out of his mouth, but were held back by the elf guard, who left with his remaining arrogance.

Annan looked at the direction where the mushroom cloud had risen for a while, then turned around and returned to the cabin.

As soon as he walked in, he remembered that this was Prince Aidan's cabin. He took a quick look and was about to leave.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly shot out from the broken scepter handle on the table. He looked at Annan and frowned: "Who are you?"

Annan turned around and saw the projected image of a blond man. He guessed, "I'm Aidan's friend. He... went to talk to the elves about something. I'm helping him look after the house."

The man who looked somewhat like Prince Aidan relaxed his brows and bowed gently: "Thank you for taking care of my good-for-nothing brother."

"You're so polite. We are helping each other." Annan responded kindly.

"Please tell him to contact the Kingdom when he returns."

"I will."

The image of the blond man disappeared. Annan looked at the shortened scepter handle curiously, guessing it was a precious treasure... but it was left here by Prince Aidan. Annan arranged a team of guardian golems to help Prince Aidan guard the house, and began to parade around the wooden house community with the golems.

The elves took Prince Aidan away for a long time before releasing him.

Annan rushed to the cabin as soon as possible - Prince Aidan was blocked outside the door by the guardian.

The golem does not know who Prince Aidan is, and will only obey Annan's orders and forbid anyone to approach.

Asking the guardians to move aside, Annan greeted him: "Are you okay?"

"Well, thank you for helping me look after the house."

"Nothing... By the way, your brother came looking for you not long after you left." Annan said, pointing to the handle of the scepter on the table.

"Have you met him?"

"Well, your brother's attitude is much better than those elves."

After all, Annan had seen a lot of bad looks in the royal court during these days.

Prince Aidan smiled and activated the handle of the scepter in front of Annan.

Soon, the image of Aidan's brother appeared in front of the shortened scepter handle. It seemed that because of the angle, he did not see Annan, and asked Prince Aidan: "What did you talk about with the elves?"

"Nothing. The elves were attacked, and they suspected I was involved, so they took me to investigate."

Aidan's brother looked furious: "You acted on your own again!"

"I do not have."

"No? You brought shame upon the kingdom and bought a bunch of scrap metal that didn't exist!"

Annan was puzzled. He had been so friendly just now, why did he act like a villain towards Aidan?
"Annan is the elves' ally, shouldn't we maintain a relationship with him?"

The image said coldly: "Aidan, you know the rules of the kingdom. This is against the rules..."

Prince Aidan lowered his eyes: "Rules again..."

"What did you say!"

"I said……"

"A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home." Annan, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly said, "What this means is that a general needs to be flexible on the front line and cannot rigidly follow the orders of the kingdom."

Aidan's brother looked at him in shock. Annan thought he would confront him, but he paused for a few seconds and said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry for making you feel embarrassed between brothers."

Annan, who was about to help Prince Aidan, lost his temper in an instant. What's wrong with the royal family of Paem... Are they bullying at home? Or are they too well-educated?
Because of the presence of Annan, an outsider, Aidan's brother stopped scolding him and closed the communication.

"You helped me again." Prince Aidan said with a wry smile.

"Who told him to say my stuff was junk?" Annan shrugged. "But why is his attitude so...divisive?"

Annan didn't think it was because of his identity. If the identity of a quasi-ally was so useful, the envoys from the wooden house community would be running madly to his residence.

"Because of the 'rules'. Twisted rules."

Annan remembered what Prince Aidan said, that there were so many rules in the Kingdom of Paem... He thought it was only like this among the common people, but he didn't expect that even the royal family was no exception?

"This is so weird...you must never become like this." Fortunately, Prince Aidan does not have this problem.

"Don't worry, I will never become like that..."

Prince Aidan grasped the scepter by the handle.

"What is it? Can it be mass-produced?" Annan asked casually.

"This is a broken artifact."

Prince Aidan glanced at the handle of the scepter and said, "After the celebration, I will give you a gift..."
