Ethan was visibly shaken when there was actually an invisible hand operating under their watchful eyes.
Not even the Crown Prince was able to avoid their surveillance.
So who could it possibly be?
"I-It can't be His Majesty, right?" Ethan asked in concern.
SWOOSH!
Almost immediately, a strand of mana was launched toward him.
Ethan was incapable of reacting as the stand of mana gave a small cut on his right cheek.
Despite being attacked, he didn't dare to utter a single sound, much less show any anger or resentment.
After all, the one who launched the strand of mana was none other than Wesley.
"Speak such nonsense again. Don't blame me for being merciless." Wesley warned sternly.
Even if it was in a private setting, to dare to accuse the Emperor of anything was tantamount to treason.
Not to mention, if the culprit was truly the Aldros Emperor, then they would have died without even knowing why.
