215 News About Chris Maynard

Duke Baron was speechless as he looked at the first prince. Was this still the guy who always looked lethargic and tired?

“As for why I stayed here, you need my strength.” Prince Renz paused and revealed his aura to the Duke which made the latter stunned.

“Peak stage Level 4 Esper! How could this be?!” Duke Baron stared at the prince with a dumbfounded look on his face. He never would have thought that the man known to everyone as the drunkard prince was actually a terrifying expert!

“Please forgive my impertinence, Your Highness!” The Duke lightly bowed his head to show his respect. He finally knew why the emperor left the family heirloom to Prince Renz. It wasn’t to prevent a dispute between Prince Christopher and Prince Calvin, but because Prince Renz was the only person suitable to hold it!

Prince Renz patted the Duke’s shoulder. “We should reorganize the army to prepare for the Dustin Empire’s attack.”

After the prince’s reveal of power, Duke Baron became more respectful to him. “Yes, Your Highness! I’ll inform the commanders right away!”

Prince Renz nodded his head.

Seeing that the prince has gone silent, Duke Baron used the chance to excuse himself. He bowed to Prince Renz and left.

“What’s happened on your side, Sir Aethelwolf?” The prince stared into the distance with a deep look on his face.

Meanwhile, in the estate of the Urgel Household. Julie Irish was busy organizing some documents when she heard the knocking on her door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Julie Irish put down the documents and said. “You may enter.”

Grace entered her study and looked at her sister who was buried in a pile of documents with a hint of pity. At such a young age, her elder sister had to handle a lot of matters for their household.

When Julie Irish saw her younger sister, she let out a smile. “Why did you come here?” She asked as she poured herself some coffee. “Would you like some?”

Grace declined her offer and said. “There is a letter for you from an anonymous sender.” She took out a piece of paper that was sealed with the Urgel Household’s imprint.

Seeing this, Julie’s face turned serious and she immediately took the letter from her younger sister’s hands. “Let me see it.”

Grace was surprised by her elder sister’s impatience. It was rare to see her act like this since her elder sister was a calm person. The contents of the letter made her more curious. “Sister, where did that come from?” She asked.

Julie Irish looked at Grace and answered. “Do you remember when I said that I was investigating the Maynard Household?”

Grace nodded her head.

“This letter is from a subordinate I sent to observe them.” Julie Irish said before opening the letter. She read the contents carefully.

After reading everything, she crumpled the paper and burned it with her world essence.

“Why are you investigating them? You weren’t interested in them before.” Grace didn’t know why her elder sister was investigating the Maynard Household and when she saw the seriousness on her face the moment she read the letter, it made her even more suspicious.

“Sit down first.”

Grace sat down and looked at Julie Irish silently.

“Do you know Enrique Maynard?” Julie Irish asked.

Grace pondered for a moment after she heard the name and she eventually nodded her head. “He is the son of the Maynard Household’s family head. From what I know, Sir Enrique Maynard is a Level 3 Blacksmith.”

“Enrique Maynard is dead and this person is Aethelwolf’s friend. I investigated the Maynard Household to help him know the truth behind Enrique’s death.” Julie Irish said.

Grace smirked when Aethelwolf’s name came out of her sister’s mouth. “Ah, so it was for Sir Aethelwolf. I was wondering why you are suddenly doing something strange.” She knew that her elder sister has a complicated relationship with Aethelwol. Grace wasn’t sure if her elder sister liked him, but she was definitely showing interest in that person.

Julie Irish glared at her and continued. “Recently, I heard that Enrique was murdered, but it was covered up by the Maynard Household. Strange right? After investigating further, I found out that the culprit is actually one of the heirs. When I told Aethelwolf about this, he suspected that it was done by Joseph and he ended up guessing it correctly. It was indeed done by Joseph Maynard. Without Enrique in his way, the Maynard Household would end up in his hands. As for the contents of the letter, it’s like this...” Julie Irish paused before she continued. “Aethelwolf asked me to investigate a man named Chris Maynard. Apparently, this guy is the manager of Enrique’s weapon shop. Turns out that Chris is still alive and is being held captive by the Maynard Household as the suspect of Enrique’s death.”

Grace felt her head aching from the complicated events happening in the Maynard Household. “So that guy Chris is being framed, and Joseph who is the true culprit of the murder is still walking in broad daylight. Did I get it right?”

Julie Irish nodded her head. “I have to inform Aethelwolf about this. Chris is also one of his friends so he has to know about this.” She said urgently.

Hearing her words, Grace shook her head and said. “That won’t be possible. I heard from Janrose that Sir Aethelwolf left the Lassiter Household’s estate with Olivia. She said that they went to the camp outside Lion City.” Janrose was her classmate so they talked a lot about private things and this was something they discussed.

Julie Irish stood up in surprise. “What is he planning to do there? He even brought his daughter with him.”

Grace shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t ask me. I also don’t know why.”





Julie Irish kept the documents inside her drawer as she said. “I have to tell him the information before it’s too late. Chris might not be able to survive in the prison of the Maynard Household.” She then walked out of the room with quick strides.

“Hey! Wait for me!”
