Agis Stirlander still couldn"t believe that the Third Prince he had been interacting with and divulging information was someone else all along, an impostor.

But all the facts pointed towards the Third Prince he had been interacting with is obviously fake.

In the world of cultivation, subordinates wouldn"t usually suspect their masters as it was the other way around. They usually followed orders and tried to be loyal unless they had rebellious intentions in their mind.

Agis Stirlander is a loyal subordinate, hence, from the start, he didn"t have much doubt since he hadn"t detected much difference as the impostor behaved nearly to how the Third Prince would behave.

Hence, this also made him think that the impostor should be someone closer to the Third Prince but the thing is... The Third Prince didn"t put on airs like a grand person but instead interacted with others as if they were his peers.

This caused him to be doubtful as to who exactly could be the impostor.

*Bzz!~*

"Well, I guess that it"s time to find out then..."

Agis Stirlander moved his head to a direction while his gaze became stranded on the materializing figure. Dark blue hair, and gentle features despite the sharpness the time left on his face.

Such a disguise that perfectly imaged the Third Prince he knew... But he still couldn"t see through!

"Agis... I believe that you have been well with the subordinates I sent to protect you."

Agis Stirlander became taken aback, wondering if this person was truly his highness, the Third Prince but when he recollected that this information of being protected could be known by the a.s.sailants who targeted him, he inwardly shook his head.

"Yes!" Agis Stirlander smiled, "The subordinates your highness sent are all extremely powerful enough to protect my residence. I wonder if your highness could allow me to personally thank, Alchemist Yen, Ha.s.sel, Gaines, Engelbert, and the few others who have given their time to protect my humble residence?"

"Of course!" A grin spread across the disguised man"s lips, "However, before you give away your resources to them which they wouldn"t require any son, it is better that you use it to investigate instead. By then, it wouldn"t be too late to gift them personally for their help!"

Agis Stirlander blinked once and bowed deeply with clasped hands.

Because... He almost couldn"t hold shock and disappointment back!

In the names of the subordinates he had given, two were fake! If the other party were the Third Prince, he really would have become confused and asked who those two were because the Third Prince was really close with almost every subordinate he had gained.

Even he, Agis Stirlander was a low-level subordinate that a higher-up wouldn"t spare a glance but with the Third Prince"s way of doing things, even the closest and powerful subordinate, Alchemist Yen came to protect him.

The Third Prince, Alexi Ethren was such a person whom he would give his life for!

But this person in front of him!!!

Agis Stirlander"s expression became ugly as he completely understood that the Third Prince he had been interacting with was an impostor all along!

There was another matter that Agis Stirlander could use to confirm if the Third Prince was real or not but he deemed that he had no need to go to such lengths, even going as far as to reveal one"s weakness.

As for what that matter is, it was something that only he and the Third Prince initially knew; the matter of his first granddaughter being skilled in Yin Laws.

"Agis! What is this? You don"t need to be this servile!" The disguised man extended his hand and held Agis"s shoulder as he lifted him up.

Agis Stirlander lifted up his head, his expression calm. However, an object appeared on his palm, glowing transparently.

"What"s this? Oh... Why have taken this out for?" The disguised man smiled as if he felt amused even looking at the object.

It was a High-Level Spirit Stone but its undulations erratically spread!

Agis Stirlander beamed and presented, "I want your highness to accept this gift of mine for I have gained an astounding breakthrough in the investigation of the Conferred Queen!"

He looked at the change in the disguised man"s expression and further distracted his concentration away from the spirit stone with his sentence.

Because the simple undulations from the spirit stones were none other than the simple signal he and Alchemist Yen had agreed on!

In a few seconds, a figure quickly arrived as the disguised man abruptly stiffened! However, he didn"t move or run away, but instead...

"Oh, Yen, I heard that you were protecting Agis for the trouble I have stirred by involving Agis..."

"Hahaha! Your Highness, protecting little Agis from those n.o.bles is nothing but an easy task. Unless those who hold the helm were to make a move, they can forget about doing anything to little Agis!"

Alchemist Yen saw that it was the Third Prince himself! He became ecstatic as he continued, "Your Highness, it isn"t wrong for a man to like a woman! There is no need to be shy enough to hide this fact. Besides, the woman you"re interested in, the Conferred Queen clearly isn"t a weakling, instead, she has the highest potential I"ve ever seen!"

Clearly, it could be seen that Alchemist Yen is extremely close to the Third Prince, Alexi Ethren by the way he talked.

The disguised man forced a smile but it came off as a genuine one instead. It wasn"t as if he was a great actor but it was the power of laws.

Such is the power of an illusion!

Needless to say, this person was the Second Prince who had disguised himself to gain information and sabotage his Third Brother for no apparent reason other than hate and incompatible thoughts.

Alchemist Yen deemed that the Third Prince had thoughts about the opposite gender. His lips widened as he felt like teasing.

"Haha, your highness, you act like you"re secluded but you know of all things that happened in the Ethren City! If your highness is seriously interested in the Conferred Queen, you should"ve followed the example of your First Brother, the First Prince and tried to interact with her."

"You jest, Yen. Now that the Alstreim Family has barred us from even paying a visit to the Conferred Queen"s residence, how am I supposed to even interact?"

"Oh? You"re interested in me?"

A female voice suddenly echoed as Alchemist Yen and the Second Prince simultaneously stiffened! Their scalps turned numb as they tried to search for the source of the voice as a reaction.

But before they could even do, an enormous source of power abruptly appeared at a location and erupted!

When the Second Prince finally caught the glimpse of the yellowish-golden glow behind his back, his expression changed as he turned his head.

A fist appeared!

*Boom!~*

The surrounding herbs and flora all disintegrated in the wake of the fist"s force! A long line of the ground being carved up as if it were being eroded emerged!

The body that had taken the complete brunt of the force was sent flying as it broke through numerous walls before cras.h.i.+ng on the ground, even forming an enormous crater in the process.

"You!" Alchemist Yen became aghast as he pointed at the woman.

His hair danced as even he too was almost sent away by the force of the fist but when he recognized what her ident.i.ty concurrently, his expression became blank!

"You... You"re the C-Conferred Queen!!" Alchemist Yen"s fingers trembled as his arm and fingers dropped.

He dared not point anymore!
