Chapter 1539 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âDonovan Linsor?â Dustin frowned when he heard the name. âThat name sounds familiar. Who is he?â
âYou might not be familiar with Donovan Linsor, but Iâm sure you know the Prince of Carsonne, Your Highness, âCinna said solemnly.
âSo it was him!â Dustin saw red. The Prince of Carsonne, or Donovan Linsor, was the Kingâs younger brother. He was considered an exceptional among the royals.
Ten years ago, Donovan was acknowledged as an outstanding talent with a great strategic vision. But for some reason, he suddenly withdrew from the public eye. And till this day, his whereabouts remained unknown.
âMr. Shaffer, are you saying that the Prince of Carsonne had something to do with the assassination back then?â Dustin pressed.
âI canât say for sure that he had anything to do with it, but he definitely knows something about it,â Cinna answered.
âOh? Why do you say so?â Dustin narrowed his eyes.
âThe Prince of Carsonne had a close relationship with your father. When we were attacked outside Aylka back then, your father requested his help immediately. However, he never heard back from him.â
Cinna frowned. âAfter that, the Prince of Carsonne chose to retire from the public eye.
âFrom then on, he no longer got involved in politics anymore. Clearly, he was running away from something.â
âThat is no doubt suspicious, but itâs not reason enough.â Dustin shook his head. There might be royals involved in the matter. But with Donovanâs powers alone, there was no way heâd be able to do that.
âYour father had already noticed something amiss before things happened, so he did some investigations in private.
âHe even specifically reminded us to be extra careful and to not trust anyone, not even the Prince of Carsonne.
âThat was because His Highness had noticed that the Prince of Carsonne was behaving strangely and not acting himself those few days.
âHowever, he had no solid evidence; it was only his suspicion. Hence, His Highness only took measures to strengthen defenses and took no other action.
âNone of us had expected how immensely powerful the person behind it was.
âNot only had the person planted spies around His Highness, but they even falsely issued military orders to send His Highness to the borders temporarily.
âIt was too late by the time His Highness realized what was happening. And the rest of it is what you already know.
âSo Iâm not just making baseless claims by saying that thereâs something fishy going on with the Prince of Carsonne. Itâs just that His Highness had suspected this person who used to be his close friend since the very beginning.
âYour Highness, this is all I know.â Cinna hid nothing from Dustin, telling him every detail that he knew.
After hearing what he had to say, Dustinâs expression darkened. As Cinna had said, Donovan might not necessarily be the mastermind behind it all, but he certainly knew something.
As long as he could locate Donovan, heâd be able to find out the truth behind what had happened all those years back.
âMr. Shaffer, do you know the Prince of Carsonneâs whereabouts?â Dustin asked.
âIâve been unconscious for ten years, so I can only remember what happened back then. As for what happened after that, I have no idea.â Cinna shook his head.
âWho was it that saved you then? And how did you end up at Harmony Healers? Do you recall that?â Dustin questioned.
âI do not know the identity of the person who saved me. I only know that his last name is Judd. Apart from that, I have no idea.â Cinna shook his head yet again.
âHow about you, Dr. Busch? Do you know Mr. Judd?â Dustin turned to look at Brooke suddenly. 1
âTruth be told, Mr. Judd had shown up yearly for the past ten years. He would ask about Mr. Shafferâs condition. But every time we met, Mr. Judd wore a mask, so I do not know what he looks like.â 1
âSeems like Mr. Judd is a key figure in this, too.â Dustin seemed lost in his thoughts.
He had two leads now. The first was Donovan Linsor, the Prince of Carsonne. And the other was the mysterious Mr. Judd.
But seeing how Mr. Judd had been willing to save Cinna, Dustin deduced that he wasnât an enemy.
