Raine suddenly raised his hand and slapped Karen Er hard across the face. The force of the blow sent Karen Er flying.

Karen Er fell to the ground, his mouth full of blood. His once neat teeth were now all gone, scattered on the ground.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Hiltin glanced indifferently at Raine, a cold smile appearing on his lips as he slowly said, "Lord Raine, your actions are certainly decisive. However, you'd better think about how you're going to explain this to those above when you get back." His words were full of sarcasm and provocation.

At this moment, Soren tightly held back Korena and Yaso, who were extremely angry and ready to rush forward.

Rage flashed in their eyes, because Karen Er had called Soren a bastard, which was tantamount to insulting Korena and Yaso as well.

They, as princes and princesses, were now like enraged beasts, ready to pounce on their enemy at any moment.

The honor of the royal family was not to be insulted.

Soren took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger. He pulled his younger siblings, his voice low but firm, "We're going back. I hope the teacher can give me a reasonable explanation." With that, he forcibly dragged Korena and Yaso away from the Third Army.

Raine watched their backs, a chill rising in his heart.

Only now did Karen Er wake up as if from a dream. He looked at Raine in a panic, wanting to ask for help, "Big Brother Raine, who was that?"

Raine, however, gave him a cold glare and left without looking back: "I'm not familiar with you. Take responsibility for the trouble you caused yourself."

Raine had already made a decision in his heart. He needed to tell his teacher about this as soon as possible.

Karen Er actually pointed at the Crown Prince's face and called him a bastard. This was not something he could handle.

This matter had exceeded his ability to handle. He had to report it as soon as possible to prevent the situation from worsening.

Soren pulled Korena and Yaso back to the main tent. Before Yaso could even speak, a guard hurried in to announce, "Your Highness, Military Minister Breuer requests an audience!"

Korena couldn't help but snort coldly upon hearing this, obviously dissatisfied with her teacher's visit at this time.

Whenever Soren acted more enthusiastic, it often meant that the following events would be more difficult to handle.

Breuer took a deep breath and loudly ordered to his rear, "Bring him in!"

As his voice fell, Raine escorted in a person who was tied up and bruised.

It was none other than Karen Er, who had previously uttered arrogant words. His appearance was now disheveled, a stark contrast to his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor.

Soren looked at Karen Er being escorted in with a smile, knowingly asking, "Teacher, is this the explanation you're giving me?"

Breuer rubbed his temples, a wry smile on his face: "Karen Er's family has been knights of the Royal Guard Cavalry for four generations. His father is Commander Baffi."

"I see!" Soren nodded, indicating understanding. "Then where is Commander Baffi now?"

Breuer replied, "He's on his way back."

Soren nodded again: "Then let's wait for Commander Baffi to come back and let him handle this matter himself. I believe Commander Baffi won't forget the honor and duty of a knight."

Breuer could only nod with a wry smile upon hearing these words.

Although this matter had been temporarily resolved, Karen Er's actions had undoubtedly brought great trouble and humiliation to the Royal Guard Cavalry.

Soren's attitude also showed that he was not someone to be easily fooled.

"Teacher, I have an idea," Soren said slowly, his eyes firm. "I want to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Logistics Department. I wonder if you can give me your support."

As soon as Soren's words fell, the entire tent fell silent.

Everyone present knew that the Logistics Department had always been a sensitive and complex place in the empire.

It was a place where many noble children went to gain experience and make money, and the corruption behind it was already an open secret.

Once a thorough investigation was conducted, it would surely set off a huge storm.

Breuer's heart sank. He naturally knew about the corruption in the Logistics Department. But at this moment, faced with Soren's request, he could only nod helplessly to show his support: "Your Highness, since you have this intention, I will stand by your side no matter what."

Soren's face lit up with a happy smile upon hearing this: "Thank you for your support, Teacher. With this, I have confidence that we will be able to expose the corruption hidden in the darkness."

Breuer nodded again, expressing his agreement.

Immediately afterward, Soren quickly issued orders: "Yaso, Korena, you will go to the Third Army and the First Army respectively to conduct investigations. Jennifer, you will take people to the Alfonso Army and be sure to find out everything."

The crowd responded and left. Only Breuer, Raine, and Karen Er, who was tied to the side, remained in the tent.

Karen Er's mouth was now tightly bound with cloth, and tears squeezed out of his swollen eyes.

He knew in his heart that once the Crown Prince's investigation began, even if he could escape this disaster by luck, he would be unable to escape the final punishment.

What was worse, this matter was likely to involve his father and bring a huge disaster to the family. He kept making muffled cries for help to Breuer, but Breuer pretended not to see it.

Seeing this, Raine tactfully pulled Karen Er down, preventing him from causing more trouble here.

Breuer and Raine stood in the tent, secretly praying that this matter would not be too big, at least not to the point of embarrassing the empire. They originally thought that Soren would gradually consolidate his position in the army and then slowly plan for it, but the development of the matter exceeded their expectations.

Soren's speed made them realize that this Crown Prince's ambition and courage should not be underestimated. Soren's investigation of the Logistics Department was carried out quietly. He did not choose to promote it in a high-profile manner, but instead adopted a secret operation method.

This showed his caution and wisdom, because he knew that once the matter involved too much, the situation might become difficult to control.

He must ensure that he takes the initiative in the action, and at the same time, he must have sufficient ability to deal with the various complex situations that may arise.

While Soren sent people to investigate the Logistics Department, Karen Er's head was also personally cut off by his father, Baffi, and sent to Soren's tent.

"Things have gotten serious."

Looking at Karen Er's head, Soren muttered subconsciously.
