‘As soon as this majestic voice appeared, it attracted everyone’s attention.
Alan looked over to see who was so bold as to stop him at the city gates.
When he saw who it was, he was almost scared out of his wits.
This was because the owner of the voice was none other than the kingdom’s first Prince, Seidan!
‘The Prince was wearing golden armor and had a knight’s longsword at his waist.
He looked very dignified.

However, Alan had a bad feeling.
Prince Seidan was usually either on patrol or out on missions.
Why was he now at the gates of the Imperial City for no apparent reason?
He was probably after someone.
Alan stared at Prince Seidan and gestured for Lisa to retreat to the side, indicating to her that they had to be prepared to run at any time.
‘As Alan expected, the moment Prince Seidan appeared, he ignored the others and came straight for him.
“Haha, isn’t this the genius of the William Family in the Imperial Capital?”
Prince Seidan beelined towards Alan the moment he made his appearance.
Alan knew that the Prince did not have any good intentions, but he still wore a smile on his face and bowed to him.
“prince Seidan is still so mighty and domineering, your strength must have improved a lot recently.”
‘The two of them were all smiles and saying courteous words to each other.
In the eyes of outsiders, they seemed to have a harmonious relationship.
Only the two of them knew that there was no such relationship between them at all.
After greeting each other, Prince Seidan pretended to be dissatisfied with the guards responsible for the city gated.
“are the lot of you blind? This is the genius of our kingdom, the next family head of the William Family. Why are you not letting him in?”
Prince Seidan was saying this, but his body did not move aside.
He didn’t seem to have any intention of letting Alan enter the Imperial Capital.
Alan frowned, but he did not say anything.
He knew that Prince Seidan was definitely not here to help him.
At this time, as if he suddenly remembered something, Prince Seidan said, “Oh, I suddenly remembered. You can go in, but your previous whereabouts have to be known. Where did you go just now?”
“Lwent to carry out a mission for our family. I don’t think I need to report this, right?”
Although Alan knew that he was facing a Prince, he could not tell the truth.
The perfume formula was the hope for the William Family’s future, he definitely could not tell the other party about it.
Hearing this, Prince Seidan sneered.
“Your family’s Old William had always done things steadily. Now, the whole city is under martial law, yet he chose such timing to send you out on a mission, it must have been something important, right?”
Although he called the Family Head Old William, Alan and Lisa could not say anything.
After all, he was the Prince and he had noble status.
Moreover, Prince Seidan obviously knew something. He kept using his words in an attempt to provoke and probe at Alan.
“His Majesty the Prince is thinking too much. Family Head Lowe just wants us to go and see if we can find some clues about the Princess.”
“Oh? Have you found any?”
Alan shook his head. “Unfortunately, we haven’t.”
Prince Seidan reached out and patted his shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Then, he grabbed his shoulder.
“But I’m afraid you’re not looking for the Princess. You’re looking for the formula of the perfume, right?”
‘When Prince Seidan left the palace that morning, he had secretly sent people to follow Old William.
On top of that, he had intelligence agents that had infiltrated the William Family.
After learning that Old William had ordered his family’s elites to set off immediately after they finished their meeting, Old William’s intentions were very obvious.
He wanted to get the perfume formula before he did.
Prince Seidan had originally planned to follow them, but after thinking about it, he realized that he only needed to keep a watchful eye at the Imperial Capital’s city gates to directly intercept the people here.
Not only would it save him quite some trouble, but it was also convenient.
‘As such, Prince Seidan who had been waiting at the city gates was successful in intercepting Alan, who had returned in a sorry state.
“Hand over the formula, and I can let the two of you leave.”
Prince Seidan acted as if he was completely in control.
Alan was initially a little surprised that the secret mission of his family had been discovered by others, but now, he did not feel the slightest trace of panic.
‘What a joke. He didn’t obtain anything at all, he even lost two of his best men. What did he have to give to the other party?
Alan immediately began to play dumb.
“Your Highness, I… don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Humph! Are you playing dumb with me? I’m talking about handing the perfume formula. Hand it over or you won’t be able to enter the inner city today.”
After he said this, the elites of the kingdom’s Knight Corps behind Prince Seidan let out their explosive combat aura.
These people had the strength of at least tier 5.
‘They were obviously Prince Seidan’s trusted aides.
This time, the Prince had made all possible preparations.
‘They would get the formula even if they had to fight at the city gates.
However, Alan only smiled as if he did not seem to care about these experts at all.
He put on an aggrieved expression.
“Your Highness, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. What is the perfume formula? You can search me if you don’t believe me.”
Alan spread his hands, indicating that he could let the other party search his body as he pleased.
Prince Seidan was stunned when he saw Alan take the initiative to accept the inspection.
This was too abnormal.
He hadn’t even ordered Alan to be examined, and now the other party took the initiative to request to be examined.
What did this mean?
This meant that the other party was either extremely confident that the formula would not be found, or he really did not get it at all.
Of course, there was another possibility, and that was he had memorized it.
Prince Seidan snorted coldly, “Who knows if you have it memorized? If you don’t hand it over today, you’ll have to come with me. It’s not like I haven’t interrogated a tier 6 powerhouse before.”
‘These words gave Lisa a fright.
Everyone knew that Prince Seidan’s personality was a little perverse. He often interrogated mortals himself.
Not only did he have many tricks up his sleeves, his methods were also extremely cruel.
No one was willing to fall into his hands.
Hearing that he was going to bring them back for interrogation, Lisa was so scared that her legs were trembling.
When Alan heard these words, his face also darkened.
This Seidan was simply a block of wood.
Whatever he said seemed to fall on deaf ears.
Now, he was actually planning on bringing them back for interrogation.
He definitely could not go with the other party.
If he did, his condition would be unknown from all the torture at the point Family Head Lowe arrived to save him.
In order to buy time, Alan directly changed his story.
“Your Highness, although I do not know what you are talking about, I know where the thing you want is.”
Prince Seidan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
Good lord, he had a chance!
“Where is it?”
“It’s in the castle on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital!”
“Acastle?”
Prince Seidan was somewhat puzzled.. Was there even a castle near the Imperial Capital?
