Chapter 421 Who dares? (1)

He was about to say something else, but he suddenly closed his mouth when he saw the fourth prince glare at him.

He wanted to turn to say something to me, but the fourth prince was ahead of him.

The fourth prince came over and asked with a concerned look, "Are you alright?"

I was surprised since I never thought that the fourth prince would be so concerned about me.

I just waved my hand and said, "I'm fine, they didn't get to me."

I turned to look at Shadow Five and said, "She saved me in the end. If it wasn't for her, they might have gotten me in my sleep."

The fourth prince looked at Shadow Five and gave a nod before saying, "Good work."

He said it in a very simple manner that it didn't seem like he was praising her, but Shadow Five was definitely touched by it.

She immediately fell to one knee and said, "This subordinate is not deserving of this praise."

The fourth prince just waved his hand and said, "Get up."

Shadow Five stood up and then moved back to give the fourth prince space.

The fourth prince turned back to me and said, "It's good that you're safe." Then his face turned a bit dark as he said, "Even though I had already made it clear that you're one of mine, they still dared to move against you…"

The things that he was mumbling seemed dangerous, so I pretended like I didn't hear a thing.

After mumbling for a bit, he looked at me and said, "Take care of yourself for now. I'm sure you're tired after all of that. I'll come and see you tomorrow."

I was surprised by the last part, but I didn't even have time to say anything as he was already moving away.

The fourth prince took one last look at me before turning to the prime minister to say, "Let's go, we're heading to the castle."

The prime minister looked at the manor as if there was something that he wanted to do and he looked like there was something that he wanted to say when he turned back, but the fourth prince's words made him swallow those words, "I'm sure that my royal father will want to know about this."

When the prime minister heard this, he gave a gulp before quickly giving a nod.

He realized that the fourth prince was right.

The king was most likely waiting for a report.

This was a matter of absolute importance after all.

The dwarves were national guests and now they've been attacked in the residence that the king had provided for them. If this was known, it would be a slap to the king's face.

So he naturally would want to know about this as soon as possible.

So the prime minister gave a nod in the end before saying, "We should head back and report to his majesty."

After that, the prime minister's carriage followed the fourth prince's carriage in the direction of the castle.

It didn't take long for them to disappear.

Once they were gone, it was just our group that was left standing there.

I turned to look at Shaka and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't you go back with Scar earlier?"

Shaka just calmly said, "Boss told me to stay here and keep you safe. I didn't know why, but it seems like he knows more than I do."

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

Did that mean that they already knew about the assassination attempt, so they sent Shaka to prevent it? Or was it something else?

Shaka then added, "For now, all of my other missions are cancelled and I won't be receiving any new orders. Until you leave, I'll be guarding you."

I gave a reassured nod when I heard this.

I knew how strong Shaka was, so it was reassuring having him guard me.

I had thought that I would have to get through this next period without him since he had been called back to headquarters by Scar, but now it seemed that they were going to protect me.

Of course, I also knew that this was because they wanted to protect their own investment, but I was fine with it.

As long as I had a powerful guard, it didn't matter what the reason was.

Plus, I could say that I'm quite close to Shaka after all that we've been through.

I looked at him again with an inquisitive look, but he just gave a shrug as he said, "I don't know anything else. No one told me a thing, so there's no reason to look at me like this."

I looked at him carefully, but dropped it in the end.

After all, even if he was lying, I wasn't able to see through it.

Even after all the time that we had spent together, I still wasn't able to read his expressions at all since he had a great poker face.

Still, that didn't really matter for now.

After that was settled, we started heading back into the residence.

But then I remembered one more thing.

There was still Shadow Five standing there looking in the direction that the fourth prince had left in.

It didn't seem like she had moved an inch since he had left.

I gave a cough before saying, "Do you want to go back to him? I have another guard now, so there's no need for you to stay here anymore. You can go back to his side."

Shadow Five slowly turned to me before saying, "My master has ordered me to protect you, so that is what I will do."

Then before I could say anything, she disappeared without a trace.

This was just like before where she had disappeared, but now I knew that she was most likely somewhere nearby hiding in the shadows watching over me.

I just gave a sigh before heading in with Shaka.
