Chapter 307: I Have a Sword
At the same time.
Winterless City, Royal Palace.
While Lin Xiao and the others were happily eating ice-cream, Caesar was facing another mans wrath with a grave expression.
Brother, are you really going to go? The man had his back towards Caesar as he sternly questioned.
Yes.
Caesar had his chest up and head raised and responded without backing down, but no matter how much he forced himself, he couldnt hide his unease. If you listened carefully, he didnt have his usual confidence.
Is that so? The man slowly turned around and asked, What if I wont let you leave?
Brother, you cant stop me!
Caesar continued to hold on and secretly clenched his fists as he bravely faced the mans opposing gaze.
Blond hair and blue eyes with sharp facial features. At first glance, that man looked similar to Caesar, but if you took a close look they were quite different. Compared to Caesars handsomeness, he looked more heroic, whether it was his sharp gaze or broad jaws, he looked like a valiant general, unlike a young prince like Caesar.
Currently, his expressionless face held some concealed anger as he stared daggers into Caesar, like a lion starring at its prey. If it wasnt for Caesars determination and clenching his teeth, he would have already went limp.
It was strange, he was a normal man without any magic or battle aura. Even if he was given a sword, it would be difficult for him to hurt Caesar, but if you had to ask why Caesar was so nervous
He was Thomas Alex, the eldest son of King William, first in line to the throne.
As for his older brothers inquires, he didnt dare not respectfully listen.
I dont understand, what do you want? Even if you complete missions as an investigator, what can you obtain? Money? Ill give you as much as you desire. Fame? I can also arrange that. So, why do you want to take the risk?
Brother, I want to be a hero!
Oh, I almost forgot, that was your childhood dream Since the day your mother died, right? Caesar.
Susanna, she was a good mother, you should be proud of her.
Yes, mother has always been my pride, but others dont think so.
Sigh, why are you still mentioning something that happened when you were a child? Father already made amends, gave her a name, and also gave you the status you deserve, are you still not satisfied?
Of course I am if I wasnt, then I wouldnt be standing here and saying goodbye, but I would be putting a sword against your neck, brother.
Heh, youre right. Thomas chuckled and didnt mind his impertinent words as he continued the topic from earlier, So Caesar, you shouldnt hold a grudge against father.
I dont, I never have.
Sigh, brother Thomas sighed and was speechless.
Perhaps Caesar didnt think he was being resentful and he was just chasing his dreams, but Thomas knew it wasnt like that.
Caesar had never thought about becoming a hero before, but ever since that incident, it was like he was possessed. He ignored the mocking and ridicule and diligently trained in swordsmanship and magic to become stronger, towards that goal that Thomas couldnt understand.
To turn the once innocent Caesar into what hes like now, even if it wasnt resent, perhaps theres another issue weighing on him that he cant talk about
Forget it, since youre so determined, I wont stop you. But
Just as Caesar relaxed a bit, Thomas sharp words made him choke in anger again.
Ill send a group of guards with you, in case youre in danger.
Brother! Im going to finish a mission, how can I bring guards with me?
Then what if you meet an enemy?
I have a sword.
Your sword, may not prove useful.
Thomas shook his head and didnt want to continue arguing. He could only sigh and change the topic when he saw Caesar becoming angrier.
Brother, I heard you arrested someone at the alliance office called Hebrew?
Just a greedy scumbag.
Caesar briefly recounted of what had happened.
I cant believe there was someone like that working there brother, its better if you dont go. Youre going to get married with princess ShenDai Ying in half a year, the journey is going to be dangerous, if you meet another Hebrew with no one protecting you and something happens, how will I explain that to her?
Ill be fine
Although Caesars brother looked very manly, but he was always very naggy and treated him like a child. Last time he was forced some guards when he went to Heino Kingdom, he definitely wont agree this time!
Sigh, father was right, you really are an immature fool, you will never understand until something happens leaving your beautiful fiance behind and running off on your own, is there something wrong with you?
Caesar finally had something to say to his brothers lecturing.
No, Im not going alone.
Hm? Is ShenDai Ying also going with you? Then that might not be so bad you can just think of it as a newlywed trip.
No, not her, Im going with Rosie.
What? Cough, that brat again!
As for that brat Rosie, Thomas still viewed her quite highly.
She had a good temperament, although she had a little temper, she was prudent. She wasnt a noble, but she was from a suitable family and was a good marriage partner. She was always following Caesar around, but he didnt seem to mind, so there were some possibilities there.
If possible, it wasnt like Thomas never thought about helping his foolish brother make the decision and letting them get married. But Rosie couldnt compare to the Great Qin Empire behind ShenDai Ying, and since their marriage was decided, he couldnt go against the kings orders.
Okay, then you can go with her just dont forget about the marriage in half a year. If you break that promise, Ill send someone to bring you back.
Tsk, no need, Ill be back.
Although he replied firmly, just imagining himself getting tied up and carried back to the palace made him shiver. He resolved himself to successfully complete the mission to prove his own strength, to live up to the expectations of the hero!
Yes, this mission wasnt just a normal mission, it was an excellent opportunity to realize his dream!
A while ago, Greentons second, the reserve hero Evelyn came looking for him. She said that the hero had interest in him and hoped that he could be actively involved in this mission. If he performed well, the hero would even be willing to make an exception and take him as a disciple!
How could Caesar retreat after hearing that? Not just this mission, he would be willing even if it was to hell and back!
So he ignored his brother and turned to leave, preparing to set off on his own journey.
But as he was leaving, he was stopped by Thomas.
Hey, wait!
Give up, I must go, even father cant stop me!
No, I just wanted to warn you of something. Thomas stepped forward and lowered his voice.
This mission isnt a normal S ranked mission, on the surface it may look just like Gotham Kingdoms problem, but it seems like theres a lot going on behind the scenes, even I couldnt fully investigate whats going on
What do you mean?
Venus Society.
According to his information, last times mess at Heino Kingdom wasnt just perpetrated by Anderson alone, there was a secret organization called Venus Society behind him.
Even through the Kingdoms networks, he couldnt find anything about the Venus Society, all he knew was that they had some relation to the Holy Light Church. But as for what they wanted to achieve, Thomas had no clue.
There will definitely be someone from the Venus Society that will mess with this mission, even the hero might not be able to successfully resolve it, I mean even hes baffled right now.
Did something happen to him?
After Caesar heard his brother say that, he suddenly remembered an important detail.
Last time he was supposed to meet with the hero, but in the end Evelyn showed up with a haggard appearance and left quickly after saying what she needed to say, like she had something important to do.
Caesar, honestly, this times mission is just a front, the real mission hasnt been divulged yet, and probably wont be until you guys reach Gotham Kingdom
Thomas felt worried for his brothers safety when thinking about how his foolish brother was going to get involved in this mess.
Even if Caesar wanted to be a hero, he still needed to keep his life. Now that even the hero is lost, arent these rookies just going to foolishly die in vain?
Caesar, Ill just tell you once, actually the heros holy sword was stolen. On the surface, your mission is to investigate the turmoil in Gotham Kingdom, but youre actually going to help the hero find the holy sword!
What did you say?
Caesars jaw dropped after hearing what Thomas said.
Was the holy sword something that could be stolen?
