“What did Norwal City steal from you, My Lord? Perhaps I can request it on your behalf instead,” Yuven asked.
“Given what you've said about King Lucian, I doubt he'd be willing to return it. You see, it was my Divine Bow that he stole,” Jared replied coldly.
Yuven gasped in shock the moment he heard that. “Divine Bow?”
Divine Bow is an ancient divine weapon that many can only dream of obtaining! I can't believe Jared owns it!
“So, do you think King Lucian will return my Divine Bow if you request for it?” Jared asked.
Yuven shook his head in response. “I doubt King Lucian would return any divine weapon he got his hands on, let alone Divine Bow. I am curious, though. How did you know that it was King Lucian who stole your Divine Bow, My Lord?”
Jared let out a chuckle. “My Divine Bow was stolen by Mole Monsters, and Imperial Beast City and Norwal City are the only places where one would find Mole Monsters. I asked Ivasha about this. She told me that the ones in Imperial Beast City would never steal, so I am certain that the Mole Monsters who stole my Divine Bow were from Norwal City.
“That is correct. I have ordered the Mole Monsters here not to steal anything, so it is highly likely that your Divine Bow is with King Lucian. I have brought his son, Xandros, over to Imperial Beast City, though. He even brought tons of gifts for the marriage proposal. How should I cancel the arranged marriage? King Lucian will surely be unhappy if I just send his son back.”
Their conversation was interrupted when Ivasha barged in and said with a displeased look on her face, “I will talk to Xandros about this myself, Father. I never liked him, to begin with, but you insisted on having me marry him anyway.”
“Ivasha, I... I was only doing it for Imperial Beast City's sake!” Yuven replied with a sigh.
I know that Prince Xandros is just as cruel as King Lucian, but I have to sacrifice my daughter for the sake of Imperial Beast City!
“Hmph! You're always worrying about Imperial Beast City. When have you ever worried about me instead?” Ivasha protested angrily.
