The Crown Prince of Elodia pt. 1

"The Crown Prince is missing."

The sudden chunk of information shocked me.

"Missing? How can that be?" I asked, mystified.

"Well, matters of the royal family usually remain confidential. In fact, no one knows the face of the Crown Prince, save for a few close relatives. Imagine the shock of the nation when the royal family suddenly revealed that the Crown Prince was missing, two weeks ago." The viscount shook his head, clicking his tongue in dismay.

"Chaos ensued in the capital. Every royal guard is on high alert. Alas, the Crown Prince is yet to be found." Viscount Welf added.

I was speechless. Leaning back on my seat, my eyes wandered to Dustan.

"That is quite the conjecture. Dustan as the Crown Prince?" I muttered to myself in disbelief.

"Indeed, it is simply a conjecture."

I watched Dustan vanquish another challenger with his chop. If Dustan was the Crown Prince of this empire... I shook my head.
