While Elandor was busy instigating David into a prison break, the royal palace was already in an uproar.
It's already been a few minutes since Leon was waiting outside the eting hall and there was sweat continuously dripping down his forehead.
He swore to God that he had never felt so tense as today!
After leaving his brother at the guild, he went along with Evelyn and Eve to help interrogate Parul but just when he was about to get started, he was summoned by Princess Lena.
When he reached the palace he was shocked to see the panicked and worried face of the Princess.
He was lost in thought, 'What's with her reaction?'
'Isn't it just so artifact and letter that got stolen?'
A thought suddenly hit him, 'Perhaps she has already fallen too deeply in love with and…that she is scared that if soone else reads her love letter addressed to , then people may get the wrong idea about our relationship!'
'Oh is she scared that I will be punished for trying to court soone of royal blood?'
'Uwuu her worried face is way too cute! Don't worry when I return to my family, I will get back my fa and reputation and will have enough status to be together with you.'
But before he could speak so sweet words to coax her, she spoke in the most serious tone he had ever seen.
"Leon, I think we will also be arrested", these were the words that had been constantly ringing in Leon's head since the Princess talked to him.
He tried to recall everything again how the Princess told him...that she has stolen her family's heirloom, The hero's mory stone, which has been kept by the royal family since the tis of ancient generations to help them tide over any potential life-death crisis.
She told him that according to her family records, a legendary technique that is even capable of challenging Gods is stored in the mory stone.
When Leon heard her, he instantly figured out everything and scread in his mind.
'You damm Princess! Why did you have to steal sothing so important and even if you had to steal it, you should have given it to personally!'
'Is her brain gone full dumb like those cows who mindlessly graze grass that she can't even think that such important stuff can't be sent out casually by weak people like Evelyn.'
Unknown to them Elandor has already used the mory stone to learn the legendary one-shot technique long ago.
But before they could figure out what to do, they were already summoned by the King who quickly found out that the heirloom was missing from the royal treasury.
Leon was praying to God, "It was this stupid Princess who stole… not . Please I have nothing to do with this shit!"
He was getting more and more nervous while waiting outside the eting hall.
At first, only The King and Princess were in the room, but as minutes passed, mbers belonging to the royal family and so who have high status in the royal court started entering through the door and joined them.
Seeing so many high-profile people entering in such a short ti he already knew how intense the situation was.
He was sure that if they are not able to find the mory stone from Parul, he along with the Princess will have to suffer an unimaginable fate.
As soone from a rich family, he knew that heirlooms have a lot of significance for any noble household, they highlight the pride of their lineage and are like a symbol of glory for their future generations.
And nobles with their big pride will never allow soone to rob it and escape so easily.
And heck yeah! This was much greater than an ordinary heirloom, it was a fkin mory stone containing a legendary technique.
Soone has to take the bla, even if no suspect is found, soone must beco a scapegoat to take the bla so that the king's image is not lowered in the eyes of commoners.
…
In the eting room, Princess Lena was surrounded by her brothers and other cousins, seeing the glaring eyes of all the won she had called aunts since childhood, she was already too timid.
The king didn't waste much ti and asked her directly where the heirloom was.
She was already too scared that she could barely even muster the strength to stand properly, her legs were already shaking too much but seeing the majesty of the king standing in front of her, like a broken record she told everything...about how she stole the mory stone sneakily from the treasure room to how she sent it to Leon via Evelyn to how it got robbed by Parul.
"But Dad, don't worry Evelyn has already caught Parul."
"She will soon tell us where she has hidden it."
But before she could speak more she was greeted by a tight slap, she looked up with her big watery eyes to see her Dad's angry face as she put her hands on her right cheek which had swollen-red after suffering the impact.
"Foolish girl! I never knew you were this stupid"
"Do you think a weak girl like Parul can alone dare to rob such a precious item?"
"Probably, she is just a pawn, who is following orders and the real mastermind must have already secured the mory stone from her hands."
"But luckily your subordinate Evelyn is still useful as she quickly arrested Parul while her dad was out".
"If the guild master had co early, we would not have been able to arrest her so easily."
"They already have many secret people supporting them and he would have definitely sent Parul to so foreign country before we could even take any legal action."
"It's already too late, we will wait for the night so that we can squeeze all the important information from Parul's mouth before we sentence her to death in the morning."
"It seems that people no longer fear the power of the royal family anymore."
"Tomorrow morning, when people witness how we publicly execute Parul, they shall once again feel the fear of going against the royal power and will know that only fate that goes against their king only ends in death", saying this, the King had a crazy expression on his face.
No one knew, at that mont under Elandor's lead, a pair of a boy and Lolli were already planning hard about how to break into the prison and run away with Parul.
