352: LOU'S SUGGESTION FOR THE FALLEN CROWN PRINCE

LOU'S SUGGESTION FOR THE FALLEN CROWN PRINCE

"Where is Annie!?" Kellan roared to Bion, the royal warrior, who used to push his wheelchair. He had followed the prince ever since his day as the crown prince and was so loyal to him. He didn't talk much, but his knowledge about all Kellan's secret was very vast. 

Currently, the crippled prince was enraged because he heard the news of the plan to crowning a few days old baby as the crown prince. 

He vied the position as the crown prince and had been trying to look for the opportunity to raise within the royal rank again, ever since Alan had been stripped from his status, because the pressure was too much and the king couldn't ignore it again this time like he used to. 

However, without the support from Cane, because he had gone missing, the only packs that supported his claim was Celestial Moon pack and Golden Light pack, the former pack of Lady Abigail, Kellan's mother. 

Though, he had two packs behind him and the favor of the public, but somehow, his scandal from a decade ago resurface again, reminded the people of his wrong deeds, which swayed the public opinion, more so, those two packs were not par in term of value with Red Claw pack. 

Celestial Moon pack and Golden Light pack were combatant pack, as most of the member of the former pack defended the north from waves after waves of monster attack, while the later pack had most of their member to be the royal warriors within the palace. 

Yet, with Red Claw pack held the economy of the kingdom, it touched great and sensitive aspect of people's lives. 

The day when the Red Claw pack refused to trade magic stone had caused the royal family to lose significant amount of money, which affected people as well, especially those merchants, who resided within the capital city. 

Therefore, though there were many people disagreed with the current crown prince, but they kept it as the talk among themselves and didn't raise any protest. 

"Someone is taking her here, my prince," Bion said respectfully. 

And true to his words, not long after that, the door was knocked and a warrior entered with a young girl with freckles on her nose, she was around twelve years old and outsider always thought she was one of Kellan's favorite children, who he kept inside his palace. 

Once Kellan saw the sight of her, his frustration was assuaged and a smile crept on the corner of his lips. 

"Come here, little one…" Kellan said, beckoned Annie with his hand. 

The beautiful girl was wearing pretty white dress and had her hair cascaded down on her back. People could mistake her as one of the king's granddaughter, a princess, but the look on her face could make you felt the fear that coursed through her veins. 

She was on the verge of crying, but she held back her tears and shook her head. 

"Why don't you come closer to me? Don't you always say I am your favorite?" Kellan frowned, he gestured to Bion to bring Annie closer to him. 

Bion was a typical warrior, he had an intimidated appearance and looked so scary, thus it was easy for him to bring this young girl in front of the prince, as he made her knelt before him. 

"Good girl…" Kellan said, as he stretched out his hand and touched her hair. "I wish you have red hair… but it's okay. I like your curls…"

He had only seen one little girl with red and curly hair in his entire life, thus it was so sad, he only spent a little time with her…

"Prince Kellan… please… I don't want to do this…" Annie cried, she tried to stand up, but Bion pressed her body down. 

"Why not? You don't like our previous game?" Kellan tilted his head. "Let's play the new one then, how is it?"

Annie sobbed and kept shaking her head. 

"You don't want to play too?" Kellan frowned he looked displeased now. "Should I play with your little sister instead, later, when she entered my palace? Since you don't want to play with me again."

================================= 

"How can you come inside?!" Alan barked in shock when he saw Lou was inside his room, sitting on his chair, while playing with one broken ornament that Alan had thrown during his rage. 

"Sst!" Lou put his finger in front of his lips to shush him. "Sit down."

"What are you doing here?!" Alan was not so bright and couldn't read the room like usual, thus it annoyed the merchant to keep him quiet, so no one would know he was there. 

"I have a way for you to get your revenge from this humiliation, but you need to keep your fucking mouth shut, because if there is someone knew I am here, you will lose your chance to get out of this room forever and no one will respect you ever again." Well, no one ever respected him, if he could be honest, but of course, the last statement Lou kept for himself. 

After a quick consideration, Alan sat down begrudgingly. This room couldn't be said as a room anymore, because everything that could be detached had ended up on the floor and everything that could be damaged had been broken into pieces too. 

Alan could shift into his beast, but without any ability to fight and how weak his beast was because he had skipped training for years, just like any other spoiled princes, he couldn't even fight a guard. No wonder, he almost got himself killed when he fought Ethan. 

"What do you want to say?" Alan grumbled, still acting all high and mighty.  0

Lou tilted his head and looked at the former crown prince. He looked haggard, anger filled his eyes and looked as stupid as usual. The merchant sighed, he failed to figure out what Cane was planning, but he couldn't forsake the offer he gave him, thus here he was. 

"I have a way for you to get back the respect you deserved from the people."

"Cut the crap and start talking for real!" Alan cussed like a pirate and if it was not for Lou's tremendous patient and the thought of benefit he would harvest, he would turn this man into a snack for monsters. 

"Well, as you can see our situation right now with the black magic and the lycan…" Lou started, giving him a little bit explanation because Alan cared about nothing else, except himself. "I wonder why the king has not yet written anything to the Holy Kingdom, since this matter fell under their responsibility to control the black magic user."

Alan frowned. He tried to grasp what Lou wanted to say. "What do you want? You want me to write for the Holy Kingdom?"

"Yes, you are so brilliant!" 

Lou fought hard not to roll his eyes when he saw a smug smile on Alan's lips when he praised him. "People from the Holy Kingdom must know how to handle this situation and if you are proven not guilty for the crime of the black magic by the Serafim, you will gain people's sympathy."
