Chapter 24: Who are you guys? (4)

– It feels like it has been quite a while.

Alberu waved while still lying down on the bed.

– I guess you can contact us even from another dimension.

He looked pretty relaxed. However, Alberu’s right arm and most of his upper body were covered in bandages.

His face was very pale. Furthermore, one of his cheeks was swollen red as if he had been hit by something.

“Grandpa Ron! Crown prince!”

Raon shoved his face toward the screen in shock.

– It’s been a while since I saw you too, Raon-nim.

“Grandpa Ron!”

Ron was a mess too.

Although Ron could use regular potions unlike Alberu, who had some Dark Elf blood in him, one of his arms was in a cast. Of course, it was his real arm and not the fake one that Mary had attached for him.

Furthermore, one of Ron’s legs was in a cast as well.

– What is going on?

Beacrox appeared on the screen at that moment.

He seemed to have entered the bedroom.

“…What happened?”

Beacrox did his best to avoid Choi Han’s vicious gaze.

“Your highness, did something happen?”

Cale looked at Alberu, who avoided Cale’s gaze and looked up at the ceiling.

– I thought it was weird that the name Cale Henituse appeared on the video communication device. Did you call using the divine item?

“Your highness.”

Cale called out to Alberu in a low voice and Alberu finally looked at Cale. Cale could sense it at that moment.

‘He’s angry.’

Although Alberu looked pretty relaxed and calm, he was quite angry.

Ron seemed to be feeling the same as his benign smile was more exaggerated than normal.

– I’ll give you a short breakdown of the current situation.

Beacrox poured some tea into the crown prince’s cup on the nightstand. It was odd for Cale to see Ron just sitting down like this.

– Mm.

The crown prince sat up and leaned against the headboard. He picked up the teacup and hesitated after realizing it was lemon tea before drinking it.

– After you left-

“Yes, your highness.”

– The eldest son of the Flynn Merchant Guild died.

‘What?’

The palace had been protecting the eldest son of the Flynn Merchant Guild.

They couldn’t put an outsider like him in a deep part of the palace because the King’s Palace was destroyed, but… He had been thoroughly surrounded by guards inside the palace.

– He was poisoned.

The crown prince was not done speaking.

– …Also, the youngest young lady disappeared.

The only survivor from the Duke’s House of Orsena… The youngest young lady had disappeared.

– Right in front of my eyes.
