After more than 20 minutes, Naomi, Baka, Alex, and Mr. Dipo finally arrived at Naomi's house. The four of them sat down in the living room after Naomi signaled Zelda to prepare drinks and food for everyone."You don't need to bother like that; I just want to hear what really happened," Mr. Dipo said calmly."I'm sorry, Great Master, I didn't tell you this earlier because Kenric told me to wait for your condition first before I tell you the real situation." Naomi started the conversation."Yes, I can understand his concern. But I'm well now, so you can tell me the truth," Mr. Dipo replied.Naomi took a deep breath before speaking again. "In recent days, Madame Reya has begun to organize your house. Some of the servants were fired, as were the guards. I know that many people were replaced with Mr. Brayen's own men.Some of your men stayed here and worked for me for a while, while others returned to their homes to await the call from you and Kenric. It was my own decision, as I cannot ac
After everyone had gathered in the side yard as Alex wanted, then Baka gave the order for them to separate themselves from Mr. Brayen's people."Old people on the left, new people on the right!" Baka ordered.Immediately, everyone moved as ordered. While Mr. Dipo's men were calm, Mr. Brayen's men were nervous and glancing at each other."New people, please return to Mr. Brayen's house because Mr. Dipo will return to this house. I don't want any misunderstandings to happen between Mr. Dipo and Mr. Brayen's family," Alex said as he looked at the row of old men carefully."I'm the one who knows you all best. I'll give you a chance to switch positions properly!" Alex shouted as some new people stood in the row of old-timers.Immediately, the people who were trying to deceive moved. And now it was clear that only a third of Mr. Dipo's men had not been kicked out of the house."Very good," said Alex, looking at everyone in front of him."Do as instructed!" shouted Baka."Okay!" said the ori
After finishing breakfast, Kenric and Mr. Ge played chess again. But this time Kenric's concentration was broken, so he was defeated several times by Mr. Ge."Is this because of the fruit problem?" asked Mr. Ge while running his horse."Yes," Kenric replied quickly. "I'm a little worried about this.""It's natural for you to be worried, but it's useless to think about it because what will happen will happen no matter what you think," said Mr. Ge.Kenric let out a long sigh. "It seems to be true," he said in a weak voice.Then Kenric and Mr. Ge resumed playing chess properly. This time, the rhythm of Kenric's game was back in order, unlike earlier, when his concentration was broken. But after playing for a while, their concentration was finally interrupted again when a prisoner walked towards the cell."What is he trying to do?" muttered Mr. Ge as he looked back at the chessboard near his feet."Mr. Kenric," called the prisoner, who was now near Kenric's cell door."What's wrong?" aske
"Let's talk about something more serious," Naomi said, wanting to change the subject."I just want to hear your opinion, nothing more."Naomi let out a long breath. "Yes, I do like men who are dominating and can protect-""And hold you back?" said Kenric.Naomi had a lazy expression on her face. "Who doesn't like a strong man who can keep others in their comfort and safety zone," Naomi replied in the end.Kenric nodded slowly. "I understand," he said."Don't say it like that, as if I'm teaching you a lesson," Naomi commented.Kenric ignored Naomi's comment and asked again, "If your partner wasn't that kind of person, would you throw him away?""If it was fate, then I wouldn't have made an issue of it," Naomi replied. "Is that clear? If so, I want to talk about something else.""Yes, it's quite clear," Kenric replied while putting a serious expression back on his face.'Ah, why do I feel ashamed of myself when we talk about this? Why does he have to ask me directly about this anyway?'
An hour passed. Kenric was currently chatting casually in his holding cell with Mr. Ge, as usual. Finally, the prison guard came into the room, as Kenric had expected."Come with me!" invited the prison guard while looking at Kenric.Kenric casually got up and followed the cold-faced guard."I've never seen you talk to the prisoners like the other guards," Kenric said casually, because he had long been interested in the guard's facial expressions."What should I tell you?""Well, let me change the question. Don't you want to ask me something?""What should I ask you? People of your status are used to getting in and out of prison in no time," the warden replied with a lazy expression on his face.Kenric let out a long sigh. "Today is my last day here. I've been watching you for a long time, and I've never seen you joke-"The warden turned his head. "My life has been full of jokes, so I don't need to joke with you anymore," he said with the same expression."Hah, I really envy people li
After more than an hour, Kenric, Baka, and Alex finally arrived at Mr. Dipo's mansion. They walked quietly until they met one of the servants."You by the window, come here!" called Kenric.The servant, who was cleaning the front window of the mansion, immediately turned his head. She gasped when she saw Kenric coming. She immediately ran a little towards Kenric."Young Master, welcome," said the servant as he bowed his body."Yes, where is the Great Master?" asked Kenric as he looked around the deserted place."The Great Lord is in the back garden with the Young Lady," the servant replied calmly."Young Lady?" Kenric frowned at the servant's words.Meanwhile, the servant was also puzzled at Kenric's current reaction.Then White, who was standing to Kenric's left, asked the waiter. "So that shameless woman came here again?"The waiter turned to White with the same confused expression as when he saw Kenric's facial expression."Didn't you say it was the woman who has been coming here i
Half an hour passed by this time, and Naomi, who was still waiting in the backyard of Mr. Dipo's house, began to get nervous because soon she had to leave to meet the people who would work with her."I'd better go; he will definitely talk about the plan with all of them for a long time," muttered Naomi, who then took a sip of orange juice given by the waiter and then got up from the chair she had been sitting on.Naomi then walked towards the waiter, who was currently arranging the peony flower pot that she had noticed together with Mr. Dipo. Yes, a few days ago, Mr. Dipo said he wanted to see the flowers in the garden, so Naomi sent some of her grandfather's peony collection to Mr. Dipo's house today."Hey, can you do me a favor?" asked Naomi as she tapped the waitress on the shoulder.The waiter immediately turned around and then smiled nervously in front of Naomi. "Yes, I can help. What is it? I mean, what can I help you with, Young Madam?"Naomi smiled a little at the servant's be
After half an hour of driving, Kenric finally arrived at the beach, where Naomi would meet with the client."You wait here; I'll just be a minute," Naomi said when she was about to get out of Kenric's car."Okay," Kenric replied casually.After that, Kenric only remained silent as he watched Naomi, who walked further and further away from him in the parking lot.Meanwhile, Naomi was currently running along the beach while directing her gaze around the place. Until finally, she saw a man sitting in a gazebo with two young coconuts in front of him."Riko!" Called Naomi while raising her hand high.Immediately, the man turned to Naomi and replied by raising his hand like Naomi did.After that, Naomi ran towards the man named Riko. Naomi's warm smile is showing at this time. "Where's Reika?" she asked."Reika is in the bathroom," replied the sharp-nosed man with neatly arranged sideburns, typical of Middle Eastern descent."Who are you here with?" asked Riko as she looked around the place
After a few minutes of walking, Kenric finally arrived at the courtyard of the Rodriguez family mansion. There was Naomi, who was currently standing near a car, guarded by White and Baka on her right and left. Kenric also accelerated his pace to get to Naomi's place immediately."What's wrong?" I asked Kenric, whose happy expression on his face immediately faded when he saw the tense expression on White and Baka's faces."Nothing; don't mind them; let's go home," said Naomi while grabbing Kenric's face and then smiling warmly.Then White said, "Your wife is bleeding again, but she insisted on waiting for you here instead of getting into the car."Kenric's eyes widened at that. "Is it from running or something?" he asked with a worried look on his face."It's okay; there's no stomach pain, I think." Naomi's sentence was stopped when suddenly Kenric picked her up."Open the door! Let's go back to the palace!" Kenric ordered.After that, White immediately opened the car door, while Baka
Three days passed. This afternoon, as planned by Prince Evan, a party to welcome Kenric as a new member of the Pelso Royal family was held lavishly. All members of the royal family, relatives, and important people in the country of Pelso were invited and attended today's event."Are you ready?" asked Prince Daniel, who was currently approaching Kenric in your room, where Kenric was staying for a few days in the palace."Yes, everything is ready," replied Kenric as he stood up from the sofa where he had been sitting.Then he looked at his watch. "They should be there by now," he said."If you're worried, then I can send more people to help there," Prince Daniel said, offering to help."No need; the fewer people involved, the better. I don't want to make a big fuss; as long as Naomi is safe, that's enough," Kenric refused while needing the earphones in his ears."Well, then let's go immediately to meet the guests; after that, you can leave this place," said Prince Daniel.Kenric nodded
A few minutes passed as Kenric returned to the waiting room. And at the same time, Doctor Uno was seen talking to Prince Daniel."Are the results out yet?" Kenric asked with a cold expression on his face."Already," replied Prince Daniel.Then Kenric turned to Doctor Uno."As expected, the results of your DNA examination say that 99 percent of your DNA matches. So it is confirmed that you two are related as father and son," Doctor Uno said calmly."It's good that there were no mistakes in the DNA test," Kenric said, then sighed."Once again, the public announcement of this DNA test will be left to you; are you willing?" asked Prince Daniel while looking at Doctor Uno with a cold gaze.Doctor Uno immediately nodded his head. "I am willing," he replied seriously."Good, then get ready to announce this," said Prince Daniel calmly.After that, Doctor Uno left the waiting room with the DNA test documents, while Kenric now walked up to Prince Daniel."Then what do we do next?" Kenric asked.
Ten minutes passed, and finally Kenric and Prince Ares came out of the maze together."What took you guys so long?" Prince Falcon asked in a cold tone."If I walk faster, then you will pay the fine," replied Prince Ares as he walked casually toward Andreas."Clean up the four corpses in the maze carefully," Prince Ares said as he passed Andreas.Andreas' eyes widened when he heard Prince Ares' words, but a moment later he changed his expression back to calm.After that, Prince Ares walked over to Leticia. "Look at me coming out of the labyrinth with Kenric, the person you've been worried about."Princess Leticia immediately rolled her eyes, showing a lazy expression, when she heard Prince Ares' words."Thank you for worrying about me," said Kenric, who was now in front of Princess Leticia, and then returned the key that Princess Leticia had given him."Of course, I know my brother's nosy nature, so I was worried about you," said Princess Leticia, who then smiled warmly at Kenric, who
After a few minutes of discussion, Princess Leticia felt that it was dangerous, especially now that it was nighttime, and Prince Ares seemed to deliberately challenge Kenric, who certainly did not know the way in the maze."With this map, you'll be able to get out of the maze, whether you win or not," said Prince Ares as he handed Kenric a paper. "Besides, there is security here; if you don't get out of the maze in two hours, then we will all be looking for you."Kenric finally opened the map and then looked at the image on the map for a few seconds, then rolled the map in his hand again. "Alright, I'll play this game," Kenric replied as he stood up and then gave the map back to Prince Ares, who was in front of him.Prince Ares smiled sarcastically. "What can you do without this map? Just bring this map so as not to embarrass yourself; even if you get lost, we will still look for you," he said."No need; I've memorized the path on the map you showed me," said Kenric.Prince Ares showe
Meanwhile, in the reading room at Prince Evan's place. Prince Ares and Prince Falcon were currently sitting on chairs opposite Prince Evan. Yes, Prince Ares and Prince Falcon were listening to the story about Prince Daniel's youth, so Prince Daniel decided not to marry until now."I understand, but it's obvious that Uncle Daniel's son is eyeing an important position in the kingdom," Prince Ares said after hearing all the stories."I don't think so," Prince Evan replied."No?" Prince Falcon frowned at his father's seemingly confident words."He gave signs that he wouldn't be here long, and our people say that your cousin refused to come to this kingdom before," Prince Evan replied."But it could just be an act, maybe it was done so that we wouldn't suspect him. Especially now that the king's condition is getting weaker, I'm sure he came in this way and made a public scene to attract their attention and sympathy so that he could bring down our position," said Prince Ares while clenching
The reporters were eager to take photos of the paper shown by Andreas, until a moment later, Doctor Uno appeared and made some reporters change to interview Doctor Uno. Meanwhile, Kenric and Prince Daniel were currently walking together with Baka, White, and several royal guards to leave the area and return to the car they used to come to the hospital."Ken, I heard one of your father's men trying to put poison in the food you'll be eating this afternoon," White whispered as he opened the car door for Kenric."Is it deadly?" asked Kenric as he walked past White."I don't know yet," White replied because earlier, when he was on guard around the hospital with Baka and accidentally overheard the conversation of two of Prince Daniel's men, he could only hear it at a glance, so he didn't know whether the poison that would be given this afternoon was a deadly poison or not."Did you bring the antidote?" Kenric asked."Yes, I brought it," White replied in a soft tone.Kenric, who was now sit
"Doctor, what are you doing here?" asked Doctor Uno as he looked at White. White was surprised and immediately cleared his throat. "Sorry, you must be mistaken," he replied calmly. Of course, this immediately made Andreas and Prince Daniel turn to White. "There's no way I'm mistaken, your appearance is very distinctive, I-" Doctor Uno immediately stopped talking when he saw that White blinked his eyes several times. Then Doctor Uno cleared his throat and regained his composure and looked at Andreas and Prince Daniel. "Please forgive me, I think I did recognize the wrong person," he said then turned to Kenric. "Alright then let's go in to do the tests and also other examinations," Doctor Uno said calmly and then turned around to step into the hospital first. Meanwhile, the reporters continued to photograph the incident with excitement. Ten minutes later, Kenric was sitting with Prince Daniel on a waiting chair in front of the examination room after taking blood samples. Se
After arriving in a guest room on one side of the palace, Kenric chose to stand in the center of the room and stare around the room. Meanwhile, Baka and White were currently examining the objects in the room and picking up several hidden surveillance cameras installed in several wall hangings and cracks in the room."Check the glass," Kenric ordered as he walked towards the sofa quietly.Baka and White immediately left the table where they had collected the cameras and walked over to the vanity glass in the room and the glass in the bathroom."Right, the glass in the bathroom has a problem," Baka shouted from inside the bathroom.White, who was examining the vanity glass, replied, "The glass here seems to be safe.""Maybe it's because they've installed eight surveillance cameras around this room," said Kenric while looking at the CCTV cameras on one side of the room.Yes, he deliberately left one CCTV so that the people who were watching him could see that he was not doing anything wr
