Claire looked at him, full of gratitude. As she turned to look out the window again, she felt somewhat lost inside. "Actually I'm more worried about his safety. Although this is his home, he hasn't lived here for years. There are definitely more enemies than friends around him."
"That's why we're here," Ivan said. "So he won't have to fight alone."
Claire nodded. She was determined to do her best to help him too.
With Ivan by her side, Claire felt much more at ease.
She had always heard her brother mention Ivan's capabilities and connections. He was like a god who held up half the sky in Arkpool City, and had great influence internationally as well.
Almost any matter he wanted to resolve would get resolved.
"Don't worry. I'll find a way to see him and not cause him any trouble," Ivan said. "Our only goal today is to figure out his situation first, and what he needs us to do."
"Ivan, why did he live anonymously in Arkpool City when he's the prince of Lu Layuoka?" Claire was very puzzled. "Was he not favored here? Then why did they bring him back?"
"To be honest, I'm not very clear about his matters. I only know of his identity," Ivan answered truthfully. "I've told you everything I know that day, so your confusion is also my confusion now."
Just then, the man sitting behind them received a call. He glanced at the caller ID and reported, "Ivan, it's Queen Katherine."
"Answer it."
The man picked up and put it on speaker. A woman's voice came through, "Ivan, where are you now?"
Ivan didn't reply. The man then spoke up, "Hello Queen Katherine. Ivan will arrive shortly."
"How many of you are there?" the queen asked. "So I can arrange accommodation."
