138 DUKE JASPER HAWTHORNE

"YOUNG MASTER, do you believe that the fake Crown Prince will really come here just to "talk" to you?"

By "here," Tate meant the Castillo Hall.

"The fake Crown Prince will probably try to negotiate with me first," Jasper Hawthorne, leaned against the railing of the grand staircase, said. "After all, he knows that we know his secret."

"His Royal Highness sent a Spirit as a messenger," Tate, his butler-slash-aid, said while sitting on the railing. "It only means that the Crown Prince also knows that you can hear Spirits, Young Master."

Ah, that was right.

A while ago, while they were on their way to Illumina Plaza to see the Crown Prince, a Spirit in the form of a white bunny came to him. The Spirit told him that the Crown Prince "invited" him to the Castillo Hall.

Apparently, he and the Crown Prince needed to talk.

He didn't mind because that was exactly what he came there to do anyway.
