Chapter 890: Chapter 469: Rat Hole_2

Owen Bertram said, "Among the four princes, the Second Prince is not the most handsome, his maternal family is not the strongest, and his personal talent is not the highest. Why would the Saintess of North Ice fall for him? The Second Prince doesn’t know that the Saintess’s subordinates also have contact with other princes, but from our perspective, it is obvious: the Saintess of North Ice has made the same promise to every prince, and perhaps each prince is making the same promise to the Saintess of North Ice."

Glenn Mitchell finally understood, and the positioning of his future also had choices: his deduction and judgement were indeed inferior to that of Wayne Malvin’s pure lineage from the Horizon Bureau. Therefore, he should develop in the direction of a "fighter"; as long as the realm increases, everything will follow.

Owen Bertram secretly admired that the Saintess of North Ice was like a female sea king, raising four princes in this single pond, and perhaps there were other fish ponds as well.

"How did you find out about the secret agreement between the Second Prince and the Saintess of North Ice?" Owen Bertram asked.

Wayne Malvin hesitated for a moment and said, "My father relinquished control of Central Prison, but all these years, besides the Central Prison, he has also had another intelligence network in his hand."

Owen Bertram nodded, "You were given it?"

Wayne Malvin nodded, Owen Bertram didn’t request for the intelligence network. It was Colby Dominic’s private property, left to Wayne Malvin for personal use: "Make good use of it and do not disappoint Mr. Dominic."

By now, the so-called "bride selection" situation had become clear. Owen Bertram and his sister didn’t care for the Saintess of North Ice, and likewise, the Saintess of North Ice would not choose Owen Bertram. Her target was one of the princes.

Owen Bertram looked outside. The night was deep, and the crescent moon hung in the northern sky. Owen Bertram said, "Mr. Oamond, accompany me on a walk."

...

In the capital, next to the Imperial Palace’s west side, there are large and deep mansions. This is where the royal family and their powerful relatives reside. In history, countless foreign relatives have had their power peak here, but often within three generations, they would leave here in a gloomy manner.

At the core location of this area, there is a heavily guarded and deep residence with the plaque "Prince’s Mansion" hung high on its main entrance. This is the mansion of Prince Chancellor Ryan, the Imperial Major Clan.

The Great Minister of Rites holds a high position in the Imperial Family, responsible for handling the Imperial Family’s matters and is not accountable to the Imperial Court. As long as the entire Imperial Family is satisfied, he does not need the Emperor’s approval.

High-ranking officials in the Imperial Court knew that there was a Seventh Realm Ancestral Patriarch sitting in the palace, but only Owen Bertram knew that there was another Seventh Realm in the Imperial Family, which was Prince Ryan.

Outsiders always thought that Prince Ryan was only at the Sixth Realm.

However, the Chaotic Demon had told its host that it had cooperated with a human of the Seventh Realm, and that person was none other than Harriet! The Chaotic Demon would not be mistaken in matters of realm.

Today, late at night, Owen Bertram was going to visit the Great Minister of Rites.

Having knocked on the front door of the Prince’s Mansion – the doorkeeper was, understandably, not very welcoming at night. But when he heard that it was someone from the Horizon Bureau, he did not dare delay the report.

Owen Bertram and Andrew Oamond waited in the waiting room for half a Shichen (1 hour), and a housekeeper-like person came out and said, "Sir, please follow me." The housekeeper led the way with a lantern. After about a quarter of an hour, Owen Bertram met the white-haired Great Minister of Rites in a side hall.

"I have seen Your Excellency. This late-night visit is a matter of no alternative. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

Harriet’s attitude was neither cold nor warm, "You can just tell me the matter directly. As a prince, I am not suitable for frequent interactions with foreign ministers."

Owen Bertram nodded, explained the "deal" between the Saintess of North Ice and the princes, then said, "Since this matter involves the royal family, interrupting Your Excellency late at night is something we have to do. How to deal with it is not up to us foreign officials to interfere, I take my leave."

Harriet also waved his hand slightly, "See the guests off."

Andrew Oamond followed Owen Bertram out, looked back at the deep courtyard of the Prince’s Mansion, and asked, "That’s it?" Owen Bertram smiled and remained silent, patting Andrew Oamond on the shoulder, "Let’s go back."

Owen Bertram wanted to stir up trouble by revealing the transaction between the Saintess of North Ice and the princes. The Imperial Family would not tolerate it.

...

Early the next morning, Owen Bertram was excitedly called up by Verna, "Brother, there’s delicious food today!" Owen Bertram yawned casually and asked, "What’s so delicious?"

"Yesterday, Lily and I found a huge anthill in the backyard, and the ant eggs inside were the size of fingertips, white and tender. You can tell they’re delicious just by looking. I’ve already cooked them this morning and am waiting for you to get up."

"Hmm?" Owen Bertram was genuinely surprised. Had they really found excellent ingredients in the backyard again? He quickly got up and washed, "Let’s go, take me to see."

Just as Owen Bertram left his yard, he met Andrew Oamond, who had a shameful expression on his face. As soon as they met, he was going to kneel down and apologize, "Sir, I..." Owen Bertram helped him up, "What happened?"

Andrew Oamond whispered, "Miss found a Tier-3 Demonic Beast, the Soul-devouring Ant Swarm in the backyard..."

Owen Bertram was taken aback, "Tier-3 Demonic Beast?"

The capital was the Wood Dynasty’s sacred gathering place, guarded by layers of Great Formations. There were actually demonic beasts within? But as Owen Bertram recalled the little black snake, he wondered if it was also a demonic beast. It should have been a high-level demonic beast cub – some powerful demonic beasts looked like ordinary wild beasts when they were cubs.
