The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440: That’s Not A Thing

After nearly an hour on high alert, everyone began to relax, convinced that the attacker wouldn’t be back so soon.

Their attack had failed, and there was a chance that they had used an item with a longer cooldown, or a single use artifact, to ensure their success. If they had, it was even more impressive that Rae had rescued the Prince.

But the fact that it had been so close had the man rattled.

"What is your position in line to the throne?" Karl asked, curious why this dragon was so popular.

Prince Nathan shook his head. "I’m from the third branch of the Royal Family, so I would be about one hundred and thirtieth to the throne. More likely it is something related to my work. I am the warden of the Nar Royal Prison, and I sit on the judicial council.

There aren’t many prisoners there, as it’s reserved for imprisoned Nobles. But those who end up there are all powerful. So, it could be one of the Noble Families who has recently been in trouble."

Opal summoned an avatar for herself, so she could interact properly.

"Oh, the plot thickens. Have there been a lot of Nobles in trouble lately? Juicy scandals? Marriage arrangements that were secretly a trap by the families?"

The Prince sighed. "You know there have been. There always are. But why are we talking about palace drama now?"

Opal’s avatar shrugged. "It’s better than letting you panic. Plus, I want to know. I am an illusionist, and I like to put on drama shows reenacting important moments in history.

This just might count. Someone actually escaped from Lady Rae.

That’s not a thing that happens."

"You say that like she’s an elite assassin of some sort." One of the dragons noted.

"She’s a Mythic Rank Blood Destruction Demonic Spider, with the Night Haunter skill, Limited Invulnerability, and a full damage buff skill set. When she wants things dead, they should die. That’s just how it works." Opal’s representative, who looked much like Lyric the Elf today, explained.

"Oh! A blessed of the Spider Goddess. Now I understand." The dragon agreed.

A few seconds later, a portal opened, and a whole unit of Palace Guards rushed out.

"Highness, we got your message. The Chief Magistrate has assigned us to protect you." The team leader explained.

"Is there any other news of trouble?" The Prince asked.

"No, Highness. Only your report so far. It appears to be personal, not an attempt on the judiciary."

"At least it’s not another nationwide incident. Alright, I won’t be returning to the Palace for now. Instead, I will travel with this group. If the ones targeting me don’t know where I have gone, there is a much smaller chance I will be attacked again."

Karl noticed that Nachtia’s magic was reacting again, so someone was definitely going to try to kill that Prince again. Possibly, the same someone.

There was no way Rae would let the Prince leave now.

Opal’s avatar had an excited expression that was making all the guards nervous for a reason that they couldn’t quite place. But her words were quite reasonable.
