Chapter 263 - Kill The Beast.

    Prince Craig walked out shortly after the priest. Lady vare was feeling very anxious. After she heard the gossip she also suspected him. There was no way to think of prince Craig as innocent.


    How could a healthy king suddenly die, and it happened a few hours after the crown prince lead men out to fight their Enemy.


    Lady Vara went over to her father to find out the truth. In the real sense even if what happened was clear to her, she wanted to hear her father say she was wrong.


    "Father what''s going on?" she immediately asked Hume the minute she walk over to him. Lord Carrero looked at his daughter. He wanted to cancel the marriage between prince Craig and his daughter. A man capable of murdering his own father was not someone he will want his daughter married to.


    The crown prince is called a beast. If that prince wanted to, he could have killed the king long ago, but he did not. Not only did he feel that prince Craig is a coward, after all, he was not dependent on his strength to win his brother but he got himself a backer. What kind of king will someone''s puppet be? He was also worst than a beast. After all even a dog knows not to kill his parents.


    "it is a rumor, the prince will swear to clear the doubt," lord Carrero replied. His tongue felt bitter saying such a lie. If the prince has stopped them from using a fake priest or promised to swear later in the presence of the gods, lord Carrero would have given him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was innocent.


    He leads his daughter to stand together with other noblemen of the kingdom. When he looked below at the people he noticed they were whispering something to one another. No matter how good his hearing is, it was impossible for him to hear what they were whispering among themselves.


    The fake priest starts by bringing out a crystal ball and handing it over to the prince. Then he acted as though he was chanting a spell or something. His actions actually looked very convincing.


    Suddenly the commoner below all started bending down, nobody knew what they were up to. The lord that came up with this idea suddenly realized that something was wrong. These people were not behaving the way that was expected of them.


    Just as he was trying to figure out what was going on, they had a loud voice from among the people. "That is not a priest he is fake," the nobles were shocked. How could a commoner know this? Before they could figure a way to convince the people another voice was heard.


    "The god''s ruth is on us. Kill the murder and the fake priest to appease the gods," once the second voice finishes speaking. The people began to throw stones.


    This happened so fast that even the prince gaurd did not have enough time to react. Moreover, over the stone whee too fast. Prince Craig felt the first stone and then the different stones coming at him from different directions.


    It was so painful. He was beading all over. The pain was too much, he tried to run away but his legs hurt. The strong attacked different parts of his body. It was a quick but painful death.


    The lords and noble were terrified. It was difficult for anything to scare these men, after all, they have fought on the battlefield a couple of times but having so many murderous gazes looking at them made them scared. A few of them already go hit but the stones that missed the prince.


    Once the prince and the fake priest fell down a few men claim the stage to ensure that they were dead. After confirming that they were dead, they were about to climb down when someone said something that made them turn toward the nobles.


    "The nobles join the prince tricked us," the voice said. All gaze turned to the direction of the noble but before they could throw the first stone they noticed a figure in all black standing amongst them.


    The crown prince''s present was not someone that could be missed. When the noble saw that the people paused. They felt relief. No matter what the reason why the people paused the nobles were happy.


    The Eunuch who thought that something was wrong with the behavior of the people finally realized something. These people were been controlled by someone but who? He could not guess.


    Nobody knew how the commoners figured out that the priest standing with prince Craig was fake. Could it be that one of the noble lords was trying to seize the throne for himself? Just as they thought this way they all looked at each other.


    It was at this point that they noticed the crown prince presented. Although non of them has seen his face, they did not believe anyone would dare pretend to be him.


    The prince present carried a lot of authority and it was like him to suddenly appear without anyone knowing the where and how. Just when the lord thought that the storm was over and the people will calm down. After all, some of the lords felt that the prince had a hand in the people''s behavior someone from among them said with a loud voice.


    "kill the Beast," everyone knew who was referred to as the beast. This made the lords and nobles more scared. If the people will not even give face to the crown prince then they were all in trouble.


    Even after the voice spoke no one dared to throw the stones in their hand. There were different rumors about the crown prince, so these people were scared. After the short pause, one person musters the courage and throws his stone. The stone could be seen to have been thrown with so much force and it was heading straight to the prince''s head.


    In reality, the stone was moving very fast but because the people had their attention on it it felt a bit slow just when everyone thought the stone would really Hit the prince, the prince raise his hand and casually caught the stone with his hand.


    He did not even frown his brows. The lord who had felt the strength of the stone was scared out of his wit when he saw this. What amazed him was not the fact that he was able to catch the stone. It was the fact that he did it as if he was nothing.


    The person who threw the stone was frozen. Those who thought of throwing their own stone unconsciously let it go.. "you can not stone a beast to its death," the commoners were frightened.
