Is it... that Lionheart Prince?!

From the expression of the Shaman Society's leader, the Chief of the Grand Witch Court's guard deduced the answer and couldn't help but gasp, then nervously said:

"You mean to say, the rebellion attacking the palace was actually orchestrated by that Lionheart Prince?"

"It had to be him!"

"But... but I heard that before the rebellion attacked the palace, they also tried to assassinate Queen Veronica, and almost succeeded, didn't they?"

"Almost succeeding is still not succeeding! Besides, when Her Majesty Veronica was first assassinated, she was still a princess, but now she's been assassinated into becoming Queen Veronica. If that counts as an assassination, she might be happy to go through it a few more times."

"..."

"Also, those so-called rebels disappeared without a trace right after placing Queen Veronica on the throne, completely ceasing any actions, not a single one could be found.

And after Queen Veronica ascended, not a single serious arrest warrant was issued, instead several anonymous pardons were signed... care to guess for whom these pardons were signed?"

They must have been signed for those "rebels," of course!

Listening to the Shaman Society's leader, the guard chief's worldview was drastically shaken, causing him to take a deep breath.

"Didn't even bother pretending? They're... they're that ruthless?"

"Ruthless? I've been watching this Lionheart Prince for a long time. Attacking the palace is actually one of his milder actions!"

The Shaman Society's leader couldn't help but snicker, his face darkening as he continued:

"Up until now, that Lionheart Prince, has served as Prince envoy three times. The first was to the Crolock Kingdom, and less than half a month after his arrival, the Crolock Kingdom first suffered a great fire, then a tsunami, completely obliterating it!"

"Uh... weren't those considered natural disasters?"

"Have you ever seen a natural disaster where ordinary people are mostly unharmed, but the entire royal family is wiped out except for a teenage girl, and then the entire nation, people and technology, are loaded onto ships and taken away in bulk?"

"Uh, well..."

"There's definitely something off about this! I'm very certain that what happened to the Crolock Kingdom was absolutely not a natural disaster, but pure man-made disaster!"

The Shaman Society's leader sneered coldly:

"To know who did something, just look at who benefited the most. So, who do you think destroyed the Crolock Kingdom? And who ended up with all of Crolock Kingdom's inheritance?"

"..."

"Then the Northern Kingdom was even stranger. The Lionheart Prince had only landed for three days before an ocean storm and tectonic movement hit, causing nearly a hundred earthquakes in the Ice Plains Nation, obliterating centuries of accumulation!

The once powerful Northern Kingdom, now reduced to a vassal, must sell its minerals at low prices in exchange for food from that supposedly innocent Duke of Lionheart, with its lifeline completely in another's hands.

Also, the former well-doing King Harvey mysteriously went wrong, abdicating with no reason given to his sister who had never handled any state affairs.

And Princess Melisande, reputed to have a good relationship with the Lionheart Prince and even traveled far to attend his wedding, the first thing she did after inheriting the throne was sign a twenty-year agreement with the Lionheart Prince, promising to disband the army and open up the borders... care to guess who's behind all this?"

"..."

"In short, if these things aren't done by him, I'll swallow this entire cabinet immediately!"

Slamming a fist on the adjacent filing cabinet, the Shaman Society's leader looked grimly and said:

"That Lionheart Prince is a member of the Clean-up Bureau. I've complained to the Pisces Branch, but the director there claimed to be injured and wouldn't see me, and they can't control the Virgin Branch people anyhow.

I then tried to report to the main headquarters of the Clean-up Bureau, but they said the Aquarius Director responsible for handling the complaints was out on a mission, too busy to address my issue. I suspect his actions might be tacitly approved by the Clean-up Bureau!

And this Lionheart Prince, who 'destroyed' two kingdoms in two missions, has now arrived here. Although we are allied, and there's significant distance, with no apparent conflicts, we can't be careless!

After all, our Witch Kingdom is at the junction of the Eastern and Western continent, controlling critical straits and sea routes, so the Lionheart Prince has motive... Plus, I now very much suspect he's already set his sights on Princess Catherine!"

"Ah?!?!"

The guard chief couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

"Could it be... could he be plotting against the Princess?!"

"Whether he's plotting is hard to say, but given his past actions and disposition, I feel he is very likely already infatuated with Princess Catherine's beauty."

"What?!!!"

"Meow?!!!"

Huh? Where did the stray cat come from?

Hearing the meow from outside the window, the Shaman Society's leader frowned, opened the window to chase away the black cat sunbathing on the outer wall, then returned with a dark expression:

"According to my investigation, besides being a lecher, this ambitious Lionheart Prince likely has a perverted hobby of 'collecting princesses'!"

"Is there really such a matter?! Are you sure?"

"Absolutely sure!"

Recalling the wicked prince's lascivious demeanor, and that bizarre look of wanting to strip Princess Catherine down, the Shaman Society's leader couldn't help but pound the filing cabinet with a fist, explaining with anger:

"There's no need to mention Queen Veronica, who accepted his proposal. Princess Feiliya of the Crolock Kingdom, they say, he arranged for her to join the Clean-up Bureau, living directly in the same apartment with him,

And according to the big witch Losang we sent to his wedding, Princess Melisande of the Northern Kingdom and the Lionheart Prince had an unusually intimate relationship, secretly meeting backstage and even feeding each other in the banquet's corner!"

"Gasp..."

Oh wow... playing this way?!!!

"In short, if it were just for obtaining benefits, he wouldn't take risks like this, so the only possibility is his special kink for the 'princess' identity!"

Concluding the evil prince's kink, with a face of disdain, the Shaman Society's leader gritted his teeth:

"With Princess Catherine's outstanding looks and temperament, the perversion-inclined Lionheart Prince must have taken a liking to her! And Princess Catherine's safety concerns whether our Witch Kingdom can continue!

So listen up, go investigate the Yarn Ball Society for me with all your might! No matter how much trouble you stir up in these two days, I'll back you, and if you find out the people behind the Yarn Ball Society are indeed that Lionheart Prince, report it to me immediately!"
