Chapter 296: 123. Moli’s aunt (6000)

In the banquet hall, Lunxis straightened his clothes and slowly walked up to the front podium, with the gaze of all the guests at the venue falling upon him.

Even though Nali had already undergone prolonged Council reform, the concept entrenched in people’s hearts was not so easily changed. The name of Gedelin still carried an incomparable weight in the public’s heart, not to mention that it was Gedelin IX who single-handedly led the policy that would shape the fate of Nali for his generation and many to come.

"It’s Prince Lunxis!"

"The Royal Family is still as enthusiastic as ever about supporting charitable causes..."

"Why isn’t Prince Dexter, the Heir Apparent, the one here?"

The murmured whispers quickly reached Lunxis’s ears, the last comment causing his face to momentarily shift, turning slightly uncomfortable.

What Lunxis hated most was being compared with Prince Dexter, for his elder brother had been destined for greatness from a young age, not only loved by their father and the people but also very diligent and maintaining a humble and kind heart.

In Lunxis’s eyes, he and Elizabeth seemed like two insurmountable mountains that suffocated him, but unlike the broad-mindedness in Dexter’s heart, Lunxis loathed and detested his own brother Dexter for rightfully stealing away the love and attention that should have been his within the family.

To put it bluntly, he was somewhat petty.

He cast a faint glance at the wealthy merchants who had come to attend, yet couldn’t pinpoint who had just made the comment.

After a second, he was about to speak when his peripheral vision suddenly caught streaks of golden light spreading through the night air outside the window.

Like a colossal cover, it enveloped the entire venue in just an instant.

How could Lunxis not recognize the essence of that magic?

After all, he was one of the Imperial Family and was aware that his sister commanded the Guard Army capable of using this kind of magic...

But Elizabeth wouldn’t strike at him; the only explanation was that Dexter had gone to Elizabeth to borrow troops to arrest him.

His mouth opened, but the magic microphone he was holding suddenly dropped from his hand and when it hit the ground, the sound of the impact was amplified by magic.

Instantly, reverberating sounds filled the entire chamber, igniting the atmosphere of the venue.

"Bang!"

At that moment, the golden lights went out abruptly, as a figure was suddenly thrown out violently from the side corridor.

The body scraped along the wall linked with the Magic Emblem as it went by, the force so great it destroyed the Magic Emblem.

"Who is it?"

"Has there been an attack here?"

"Not good! It’s the Witch Research Association, the cult that attacked Saint Nali University before!"

As the lights went out unexpectedly, the venue descended into chaos, with the rich hurrying to flee towards the exterior.

But at the entrance, opportunists and the newly rich were still squeezing in... In an instant, an awkward scene unfolded at the doorway, with people outside unaware of the inside commotion pushing to get in, and those inside trying to rush out in panic.

"Stay still! This is the Royal Guard, from now on, stay where you are and do not act rashly, or you will be treated as criminals! Go, catch Lunxis and search the entire Healing Room!"

Inside the main hall of the Healing Room, Lunxis’s legs had already gone limp with fear because he heard the distinctive steady voice of his elder brother at the door.

Ironically, despite hating his brother so much, when it came to being personally arrested by him, he was scared witless, a sudden sense of fear towards a family elder washing over him.

What... what did he know? Why is he arresting me?

Could it be about my dealings with Blake? Then, would he strip me of my royal status and throw me into prison?

Lunxis had lost any will to resist, struggling to escape towards the window behind him, while Kachina in the darkness still saw clearly. The one thrown out was her subordinate, the Transformed Person Karaken, someone had used immense strength to smash him towards the exterior Magic Emblem connected to the lights...

Was it Prince Dexter’s men?

Kachina’s expression darkened as she turned to glance at the Bai Cui Bank director sitting unflusteredly below the podium, holding a glass of champagne, knowing that today’s situation was clearly aimed at Lunxis. Possibly, they also knew of his and his master’s relationship, otherwise, Dexter wouldn’t have thought to search the Healing Room.

With that thought, Kachina clenched her teeth and abruptly walked up to Lunxis, grabbing his collar while whispering sharply,

"Prince, you mustn’t reveal anything to Dexter, you’re his brother, he won’t harm you..."

"Get lost, you peasant wench, it’s all over! It’s all your fault, all of it! You’re so slow in your actions!"

Kachina knew that Lunxis was just a worthless thing incapable of withstanding any real pressure. Biting her lip as she eyed the Guard Army momentarily blocked by the crowded guests outside, she suddenly slapped Lunxis across the face, jerking him to alertness,

"You... You dare to hit me! I’ll fight you!"

"Lunxis, are you going to seek vengeance against your brother, or waste time here blaming me! If you want to speak, do so; if we’re going down, we’ll go down together, but remember, once you’re caught, keep your mouth shut! Fool!"
