Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Without the support of the ghouls, the fifth prince was like a tiger without teeth. He no longer had any top-notch combat power by his side.

The group of old men in his residence had completely given up on him after confirming that he had colluded with the ghouls.

It was no longer like how it was in the beginning. Most importantly, they did not seem to continue supporting him to ascend to the throne.

The fifth prince waited for a few days, but Foster didn’t return. He even wondered if Foster was really dead.

However, out of trust in the strength of the ghouls, he still felt that Foster had returned to the ghouls’ base.

The guy named Wayne by Olivia’s side was indeed very powerful. Although he could not directly sense Wayne’s strength that night, with just one move, he was able to scare Foster to use his own lifesaving means to escape directly.

This action had already made the fifth prince understand that Wayne was very powerful!

With such a ridiculously powerful person protecting Olivia, the things he could do at the moment were very limited.

“Your Highness, what should we do next?”

The fifth prince stood in the courtyard, deep in thought. A knight standing beside him asked.

“Get someone to retreat to the border. Don’t move anything else for the time being.”

The fifth prince’s voice contained a strong sense of exhaustion and powerlessness.

Ever since Olivia came, his plans had been completely disrupted. The main reason was that she had a super powerhouse by her side. The existence of this person had a huge impact on all of his plans.

As for the ghouls by the fifth prince’s side, they were completely unreliable, and the magic contract could no longer restrain the other party.

He had a premonition that the days ahead would be extremely difficult for him.

When the knight heard his prince’s words, he was slightly stunned. His Highness, who was in high spirits a few days ago, had become like this in just two days. It was really difficult for him to accept that the fifth prince had completely lost his spirit.

“Your Highness, we…”

The knight wanted to say something else but was interrupted by the fifth prince’s wave of his hand.

“I know what I’m doing. Just do your own thing.”

After thinking for a moment, he added, “Don’t let outsiders take advantage on us.”

After saying that, he waved his hand to let the knight leave.

Compared to the gloomy atmosphere in the fifth prince’s residence, Olivia’s princess’ residence was more lively.

Stanton woke up on the morning of the second day after he returned to the princess residence.

He opened his eyes and saw that the environment around him was different from yesterday. The room that he had been in for almost ten days was obviously cleaner.

The door was pushed open from the outside. The person who entered was a woman Stanton was very familiar with.

“Cynthia…”

The voice sounded like coarse sandpaper sharpening a wooden stick. It was deep and dull.

“Oh my God! You’re finally awake! Wait for me to call Her Highness!”

Cynthia could not help but get excited when she saw Stanton wake up.

Stanton wanted to say that he could meet the princess, but before he could say anything, Cynthia disappeared from the room.

The current Stanton was completely different from the previous Chief Knight Stanton.

Olivia felt sorry for him no matter when she saw him become so skinny in ten days.

If she hadn’t given the order that day, Stanton wouldn’t have gone directly to the prince’s residence, and he wouldn’t have been tortured by the ghouls.

Wayne didn’t show it on his face, but his heart was cold.

Stanton’s experience reminded him of something he still couldn’t let go of. It was also related to the ghouls.

“Your Highness…”

“Just lie down. You’ve suffered a lot during this period of time.”

Olivia looked at Stanton, who was lying on the bed. He was so skinny that he was only a skeleton. She still wanted to struggle to sit up and bow to him, but she didn’t feel good.

Stanton looked at Wayne, who was standing behind the princess. He had some guesses in his heart. He blamed himself for his carelessness this time.

“Your Highness… I’ve embarrassed you…”

Stanton was a little depressed.

Olivia knew what he was thinking. The thoughts of her chief knight had always been written on his face. It was very easy to guess.

“You don’t have to worry about it. What happened this time was not your fault. It was just an accident. No one would have thought that a ghoul would dare to appear in the capital…”

“Alright, don’t worry about it anymore. You’re already lucky that you didn’t die when you met a ghoul. You should recuperate first.”

Olivia interrupted him as he was about to continue apologizing. As long as they were fine, it was the best outcome. After all, it was a miracle that Stanton was able to survive in the hands of a ghoul after being missing for nearly ten days.

“Stanton, do you still have any impression of the ghoul who imprisoned you?”

Wayne saw that the princess and her servant had finished their small talk and asked the most crucial question.

Olivia retracted her worried expression.

Stanton, who was lying on the bed, was deep in thought.

“That ghoul’s name is Foster. I overheard the conversation between the fifth prince and the ghoul. There was a contract between the ghoul and the fifth prince…” 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

“Contract? A magic contract?”

Olivia was very shocked when she heard about the contract. She initially thought that the relationship between the fifth prince and the ghoul was just an ordinary mutual use. She did not expect that they had signed a magic contract!?

Since both parties had signed a magic contract, their relationship would not be so simple.

“Yes, the fifth prince and the ghoul have signed a magic contract. The specific content of the contract is not clear, but it seems to have many restrictions on both parties.”

Stanton recounted the events that had happened during his imprisonment.

“Also, there are two types of Foster’s abilities.”

When Wayne heard this, he frowned. The ghoul also had two types of abilities.

“What type of abilities?”

When he asked this question, the nervousness and anticipation on his face were obvious.

Olivia felt a little puzzled after that.

“The first type is able to make people hallucinate and create a very real world in the human brain

“The other type is a neurotoxin. After being poisoned, the person will completely lose the ability to move before the poison is detoxified. They won’t be able to move a single finger.”

In Stanton’s memories, the effects of these two abilities were very strong.

“Every day, Foster would inject me with these two poisons, and then he would leave the room.”

“How long did the two poisons take effect?”

Wayne’s face was gloomy. It matched up with the ghoul in his memories.

“They were all instantaneous! Hallucinogenic poison, the duration is around 12 hours. Every time I wake up, the sky outside is always dark.”

Stanton’s recollection ended there.

“It seems that this ghoul named Foster takes his special talent very seriously. Whether it’s the effect or the duration, it’s not simple.”

After listening to it, Olivia immediately sighed.

“Yes, Your Highness. That guy’s two poisons are very powerful. If it wasn’t for my carelessness, I wouldn’t have been poisoned from the start. I wouldn’t have been imprisoned for so long…”

Stanton was still brooding over the methods of that ghoul. In his opinion, if it weren’t for that guy’s lack of martial virtue and the use of sneak attacks and poisons, he wouldn’t have been so embarrassed to be killed in just one move.

“Forget about the past. Don’t think about it anymore. Just pay attention next time. It’ll help you learn a lesson. Not everyone is as particular about chivalry as you are.”

Seeing that Stanton was about to blame himself again, Olivia quickly changed the topic.

Ever since Wayne mentioned Foster, his mood had been a little off. Due his condition, they couldn’t ask any more questions.. Therefore, Olivia asked Cynthia to take good care of him and left Stanton’s ward.
