Chapter 577 Cousins
William looked at them before him and was a little bit surprised that Connor brought his men here as well.
He knew that one camp belonged to Eli, but he was utterly shocked when he heard that Connor came too.
Tsk!
It looks like that junior cousin of his had finally found out his real identity.
Nonetheless, since there were 2 teams here... He wanted to see how they would handle things, since their men already hated each other all much.
Even after they were told to work together, these men had used every little misunderstanding to fight against one another.
In fact, he wouldn't even be surprised if they could even manage to peacefully divide his properties after he was taken in as a prisoner.
So seeing how much hate they had for each other... He decided to play with them just a tad bit instead.
After all, the message relaying his capture should probably be on its way to Eli and Connor who were probably still around the first sector.
So why not play with these men while waiting?
"Aye now... Are you all fighting over little old me?
Ai!
I knew I was loved, but I didn't know that it was this much.
After all, I had killed your comrades... And here you all are, protecting me.
Sigh... I'm truly blessed."
"You shut-up!" Both sides said angrily and looked at him as if they wanted to keep off his skin layer by layer.
Connor's men turned green with rage.
They had pent-up anger within them when they thought of their fallen brothers on the battlefield.
And the more Eli's men protected William, the more crazed they became.
.
"Move aside now, or I'll cut you all into pieces!"
"Like I said, Stand down!"
"I didn't care!
I don't care!
I Want to kill this rogue!"
"Hmph!
What are you all grumbling about?
It's simple!
If you all don't stand down, then we will have no choice but to fight you all to death!"
"Then bring it on son of a b**ch!"
'Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!
Eli's men were now battling to protect William against Connor's men.
While the culprit that caused the whole incident, just leaned back and smiled calmly... While waiting for the final bosses to appear.
And right on cue, they had arrived.
"Stop!!!"
The aides and Captains from both Eli and Connor's sides quickly stopped their men from battling against each other.
And when everyone had finally calmed down, they created a pathway at the centre of the battlefield and knelt before Eli and Connor.
"Welcome your Highnesses." They said.
One should know that even though they said a lot of awful things on the battlefield, they wouldn't dare say them to Eli or Connor's faces... As they were both princes.
So even though Connor's men hated Eli, they still had to bow and kneel in his presence all the same.
.
Eli and Connor stood before William arrogantly with victorious smiles on their faces.
'Plup!'
Several men had forced William to his knees while restraining his from making any subtle movements too.
Of course, William didn't struggle to restrict at all.
What was the use?
"Take off his mask!" Eli said to one of the men closest to William.
"Yes, your highness."
With that, the man did as he was told, and when he stepped aside, several loud gasps could be heard from the crowd.
This man... Why did he look so much like the princes?
Were they related?
They couldn't help but look back and forth between the trio.
Who exactly was this man?
In short, some of them had been looking for the Ghostly Prince... But didn't know why they had to hunt down the man.
While others had come here tonight because they had been told to do so by their master.
All in all..... only Eli and Connor's most trusted aids knew about the fact that William was, in fact, their cousin.
Not even tho mothers knew of his existence.
Both princes looked at his face for a while and couldn't help but feel shocked by how similar Williams' face was to theirs.
No wonder this man always wore a mask.
Because anyone looking at his face would undoubtedly think of Alec Barn instead.
"So this is how my famous cousin links like!
I have to say, you're rather pleasing to the eye indeed.
But too bad that you had to cover up your face every now and then.
Such looks would definitely get you any girl in the empire that you desire." Eli said calmly while inspecting William from head to toe.
Even he had to admit that the man was handsome.
"Thanks for the compliment.
But you didn't come all the way here to talk about my looks right?
Unless you like me as a man, then that's another conversation on its own.
But just so you know cousin, I like women.
So give up!"
"_"
Eli massaged his forehead and tried to get past William's shamelessness.
When had he ever said that he liked men?
"Cough... Cough...cough!
Let's be serious, shall we?
Judging from the piles of rebels on the door, I'm guessing that you destroyed the entrances so that we won't be able to go in anytime soon.
This could only mean that you had time to destroy any important document in the building too.
In other words, the building has nothing of importance to us." Eli said lazily.
"As expected of my cousin who has lived his entire life in hiding.
I have to say, you truly amazed me.
Who would've known that I, Connor Barn would have a legendary cousin that not even father knew about?
Well... All that is in the last now.
Because this is the end of the line for you!
So I suggest you cooperate with us and answer our questions!
Do you understand?!!!!"
"More or less...
But what's in it for me if I answer these questions?
"A quick death!"
