Blood Flames

Chapter 7

In the Royal Palace, Alberu Crossman the Crown Prince of the Roan kingdom was currently doing his never ending paper works. He just returned from the nobles meeting.

He was tired but, he can’t rest just yet since he still have a lot of work as a crown prince.

He had assess the nobles that would bring a good future for the kingdom and so as a good candidate as his support, and one of them is Basen Henituse the second young master of the rich County of the Henituse territory.

He indeed agree that young master Basen is the best choice as a heir but, the count never announce that he was the heir only the people believed that he was.

On the other hand, the first born Cale Henituse was known as trash and a good for nothing drunkard, the count never chase his son away even though his son made such ruckus but, the count instead cover and apologise for his son’s trouble.

But what bothers Alberu is that, Cale Henituse never did anything other than drink and throw bottles, he never did any crime such as sexual assault , murder, robbery he doesn’t even have a record as a womaniser or such.

‘He really is a peculiar one’

He then leaned his back on the backrest and notice a black envelope with gold linings and a red spider lily seal in it and this made Alberu frown.

No one was allowed to enter his office other than his aunt, and as far as he knows, no one entered his office when he was in the meeting.

Creak*

The door opened revealing his aunt Tasha with a lot of papers that needs to be sign by him.

“Great timing aunt, do you remember anyone entering my office when I was in the nobles meeting? “

He said holding the letter in his hands while Tasha tilt her head in confusion.

“No. No one entered your office, why?, is something wrong? “

“Yeah, there’s a rat that put an envelop in my desk”

“I think this is the queen’s doing”

“That was on my mind but, there is a seal that indicates the letter from”

“Then who sent it? “

“I don’t know, this is my first time seeing this kind of seal”

“How about opening the letter, so that we can trace the hand writing “

Alberu then open the letter, he was quite impress of the penmanship but frown after he red the content of the letter. Tasha who notice the change of her nephew’s face asked.

“What does it says? “

“... It states that, there would be a terrorist bombing during the Kings celebration “ This shocked Tasha.

“Find the person who sent this letter”

“You believe it? “

“No, but, we won’t lose anything if we trust it, right? “

Tasha then left the room to find any traces of the said person. Alberu sigh tiredly and looked at the night sky in his window, remembering the contents of the letter.

[ There would be a terrorist bombing in the plaza during the Kings celebration. I suggest that you don’t make a move just yet and only stealthily search for the planted bombs.]
