Chapter 429: Prince Julius

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As Melody ran towards the building, Charles also stood up from the garden bench and followed her. Meanwhile, Duke Michael and others turned their attention towards the dark sky and waited for Baron Daniel to appear.

Well, they believed so.

On the other hand, Charles walked on the concrete path and soon arrived in front of a five-storied square building.

It was basically a keep.

But unlike the regular keep of the castle, this one appeared much larger and had two entrances. The front entrance was directly leading towards the Grand Hall, kitchen storage, and the luxury rooms, while the back entrance led to the soldiers' accommodation rooms.

Yes, this building inside the castle was so large that it could accommodate more than 2000 people inside!

Not only that, but the Dinton Castle also had tons and tons of rations, weapons, and even the necessary groundwater supply.

Even if this castle got surrounded by enemies, it could stand on its own for more than six months.

Charles looked up at the grand structure wholly made of stones, arrived in front of the keep's entrance, and walked in.

Actually, he closely followed after the young woman named Melody.

Within a few seconds, she entered the grand hall filled with luxurious sofas, tables, and chairs and then shifted her gaze towards the golden chandelier. Then, she took a step forward, went towards the velvet-colored couch, and sat on it.

At that moment, a man in his late thirties came from the right side corridor and bowed his head towards Melody. He had brown hair, a hook mustache, a triangular face, and appeared to be around 176 to 178 cm high. He wore a black suit with a tie and a vest.

"His Highness is waiting for you in his room, My Lady." He said in a polite tone.

A trace of annoyance appeared on Melody's face. The reason for her irritation was very simple.

The second prince of Aetas Kingdom had been f*cking her non-stop for the past few weeks!

If not for the Duke's hospitality during these past 120 years, she would've refused his orders long ago.

She even wondered where he got that kind of stamina.

"Tell him that I'll be there in a few minutes." She spoke in an annoyed tone, then leaned her back against the couch and closed her eyes.

On the other hand, the butler bowed his head towards the young woman, turned around, and headed in the direction where he came from.

In the meantime, Charles pondered for a second and decided to follow the butler. In truth, he came here to get the 'Goddess's Shield' artifact. But due to the earlier vision, he changed his mind and decided to find out the root cause of this problem.

'The mysterious seer... I want to get more information about him and finish him off before he grows into a potential threat.' But before that, he needed to gain complete control of this castle and these thousands of soldiers.

'There is only one way for that.' A cunning smile appeared on his face.

Without any delay, he took a step forward and followed after the butler.

The butler first moved towards the nearby storage room, picked up a bag of dry fruits, wheat flour, cabbages, and beans, put everything in a large bag, and then walked out of the room.

Then, he walked on the corridor and entered another room. It was the kitchen.

He soon met a young woman, exchanged a few words, and gave those things to her.

After that, he left the kitchen, walked past two more rooms, and soon arrived at a wooden double-door.

First, he raised his hand, knocked on the door twice, and waited.

A few seconds later, a young man's voice came from the other side.

"Come in."

Meanwhile, the young butler opened the wooden door and walked in.

It was a 20*20ft room with a luxurious four-poster bed at the center, two tables on the sides, and a bookshelf to the bed's opposite side.

At that moment, a half-naked young man leaned his back on the silk-covered headboard slat and stared at the entrance. On the other hand, he continued to rub his hardened holy sword...

No, it was actually a puny dagger.

Anyway, he continued to do his thing without showing any embarrassment and only stopped when he heard a coughing noise from the butler.

"What?" He retracted his hand from his crotch and glared at him in anger.

The young man appeared to be around 25 to 28 years old, had wavy auburn hair, a handsome body, amber eyes, a square face, and straight eyebrows.

He was none other than the second prince of the Aetas Kingdom, Julius Matthias Claymoore!

Upon seeing his angry face, butler bowed his head in apology and spoke in a low tone.

"L-Lady Melody said she'll come here in few more minutes, Your Highness."

"Hmm? That bitch! Why is she taking too long?" Prince Julius clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and then asked.

"What about that chef lady? Is she free now?"

"N-No, Your Highness. She is making food with other chefs for all the soldiers. It'll take more than 3 hours for her to finish the cooking work." Butler said with a solemn look on his face.

On the other hand, Prince Julius slammed his fist on the bed and shouted.

"Melody should be here in two minutes. Otherwise, I'll cut your fingers and feed them to my pet dog!"

"Y-Yes, Your Highness!" Butler went pale in an instant as he nodded his head, turned around, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

On the other hand, Prince Julius closed his eyes while imagining the nude Melody, moved his right hand towards his crouch, and started beating his meat.

Unbeknownst to him, a ball of reddish flame appeared next to the bed and soon formed into an appearance of a human.

Charles activated his [Arcane Eyes] skill, zeroed his gaze on the young man, and checked his body status.

Other than the unusual vitality level, there was nothing special in his status.

'A radiant knight with advanced swordsmanship, huh.'

Charles didn't say a word as he raised his hand, cast [Burning Thoughts] spell on him, and erased his current thinking.

A second later, a memory of the naked image of Melody appeared in his mind.

Although Prince Julius tried to open his eyes after sensing the anomaly, Charles didn't give him any chance, moved his hand towards his nape, and knocked him unconscious.

'Even though the Radiant Knights have an abnormal physique, their wisdom power is so weak.'

He shook his head in disappointment, shifted his attention towards the prince Julius and cast the Rank-4 [Burning Consciousness] spell.

A second later, a ball of purple fire appeared in Julius's Inner World and soon formed into an appearance of a 28-years-old young man. Charles's purple consciousness glanced at the world filled with nothing but foggy clouds and waved his hand.

The next instant, countless [Fire Seed] and [Knowledge Seeker] fire spells flew from his illusionary body, spread in all directions, and started burning the memory clouds.

As the purple consciousness was erasing the prince's memories, Charles glanced around and soon turned his attention towards the small knife placed on the nearby table. Then, he went near the table, took the silver knife, and then returned to the bed.

After that, he sat on the soft bed, made a small cut on his right shoulder, and let the blood drop on his palm.

Following that, he conjured a ball of greenish-blue flame and healed the wound.

Then, he shifted his attention towards the drop of blood, activated his [Shape-Shifting] skill, and created an identity imprint.

Once that process was over, he shifted his attention towards Julius and muttered.

"All should I do now is to wait for my purple consciousness to finish its work." He nodded inwardly, turned into his elemental form, and then disappeared from there.

A second later, he opened his eyes in the Astral Realm, moved towards the opposite table chair, and sat on it.

Then, he closed his eyes and started reading the burned memories.

Two minutes later, another knocking sound came from the outside.

'Visitors?'

Charles raised his eyebrows, stared at the entrance door, and soon noticed two people were standing outside the double door.

They were the Butler and Melody.

After getting no response from inside, both glanced at each other in puzzlement and decided to barge in.

The butler first took a step forward, pushed open the door, and entered inside, while Melody also followed after him. Both soon shifted their gaze towards the four-poster bed and saw the unconscious Julius.

"He fell asleep while masturbating?" Melody's lips twitched as she saw the embarrassing scene.

On the other hand, the butler hurriedly ran towards the second prince, took his hand, and checked his pulse.

A heavy sigh came out of his mouth. Then, he took out the nearby quilt and covered the prince's half-naked body with it. After that, he turned around and spoke without showing any emotion.

"Let him rest for a while, My Lady. He might have fallen asleep due to fatigue."

Melody also nodded her head in approval, and soon both walked out of the luxurious room.

For the next 45 minutes, Charles continued to erase the second prince's memories and read them patiently.

'A spoiled brat, huh. But compared to his elder brother, this guy is way better. Although Julius is a sex addict like their other family members, he showed some interest in training his body, army, and politics. In truth, he is very good at strategic battles and has shown his worth to all the soldiers. Currently, more than 1000 elite Royal Knights are under his control. After the death of Aetas King Oliver, Duke Michael visited him and sowed a seed of greed. He induced Julius's desire and convinced him to fight for the throne.... At that moment, many other low and mid-class nobles also supported Julius and they formed a new alliance.'
