[Fairy In The Forest] Minutestory017

part 51 Henry

When Prince Mike entered his room after a long, refreshing shower, he collapsed onto his bed, gazing at the ceiling with exhausted eyes. His mind replayed the day's events - the intense battle with terrorists, the King's daughter's frightened face, and the King's helpless expression. It was all so overwhelming.

"Oh, what a day," Mike sighed, his voice barely audible.

Just then, a gentle knock on the window caught his attention. He sat up to see a dove pecking at the glass, its soft coos a soothing balm for his frazzled nerves. "Hello, buddy!" Mike smiled, rising from the bed to approach the window. He opened it, and the dove fluttered in, its legs carrying a small letter. Mike carefully untied the letter from the dove's leg and began to read.

The message was from Blezi, and Mike's eyes scanned the contents with growing interest...

[Dear Prince Mike,

I know as a Jozeia's only prince, you have a lot of responsibilities and work. I can consume you will be busy. But I have some important News to share with you before it goes too late. I want to inform you that I have found the great master Jake, and just as you had told me to find him and ask for the previous king's testament. I did. I asked for that testament. But he said it was a hidden plan between him and the king, no one knew about it, so he wants to know who told you about the testament? He might know more deep secrets about our kingdom, I can imagine the worst but as a friend who trusts you with her life, I am daring to share this information with you. Please be aware. The person who have told you about the deepest secret can never be trustworthy, he might be the one who helps our enemies, and helping them by faking his loyalty with you. So please be safe and contact with me about this, inform me about the situation.

Your old friend,
Blezi]

Prince Mike's eyes widened as he read the letter, his mind racing with the implications. He felt a shiver run down his spine as he realized that someone close to him might be hiding a dark secret. The words "he might be the one who helps our enemies" echoed in his mind, making him question everyone's loyalty.

Mike's thoughts turned to Henry, his trusted manager, who had been by his side throughout the day. Had Henry been the one who told him about the testament? Mike couldn't recall explicitly, but he remembered Henry mentioning something about the king's wishes.

After Mike read the letter, his mind raced back to the day of the terrorist attack on the palace. He remembered the chaos, the screams, and the sound of clashing swords. But most of all, he remembered Henry's strange behavior.

Henry, his trusted manager, had been nowhere to be found during the attack. Mike had searched for him, but he had vanished without a trace. It was only later, when the dust had settled, that Henry had reappeared, his face pale and his eyes evasive.

Mike had brushed it off as fear, but now he realized that Henry's behavior had been more than just cowardice. He had been helping the terrorists.

Mike's thoughts raced as he recalled the moments when Henry had been absent during the battle. He had excused himself to "search for the king," but Mike now knew that he had been sabotaging their escape.

The memory of their escape from the palace came flooding back. Henry had inspected their carriage, assuring Mike that everything was safe, but when they had started moving, the tires had begun leaking. It was as if Henry had sabotaged their escape.

Mike's heart raced with anger and betrayal. He had trusted Henry with his life, and this was how he had repaid him?

Mike's mind seethed with anger and betrayal, but he knew he had to keep his composure. He was a guest in the Gloveda Palace, and accusing Henry of treason without solid proof would be unwise.
