Chapter 590: A Prank

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yarin’s POV:

Dizzy and nauseous, like a cat thrown into a washing machine.

1 couldn’t even maintain my human form. My actions just now had exhausted all my strength. I could only lie on the ground and pretend 1 was a large pile of melted gum, praying that no innocent passersby would come.

Being seen was secondary. I was afraid that whoever saw me would be traumatized.

Alfred was concerned about me. He was a good man, but I really didn’t have the strength to respond to him. He said the police and bomb disposal experts were already on their way and would arrive in ten minutes. He hoped that they would be quick. What if the kidnappers were lying to Lily?

Before the bomb crisis was resolved, I was worried every second that the thing would explode prematurely.

After some time, Alfred’s pleasantly surprised voice rang in my ear. “Someone’s here, Your Highness! But, uh, my grandfather is here, and I said that we’re not together. Now he’s coming to look for me. Should I leave first?”

1 barely managed to condense a short tentacle as thick as a finger and shook it up and down as a nod.

So Alfred left.

1 couldn’t take it anymore and fainted.

When I opened my eyes again, 1 didn’t know how long had passed, but 1 had already unknowingly gathered into a human form. Alfred considerately left the clothes for me, and I put them on. This consumed the little bit of strength I had gathered with great difficulty.

After sitting for a while, I heard footsteps. It was my parents.

“Are you alright? How do you feel?” My mother walked over quickly and hugged me gently. “1 brought the doctor. They will give you a simple examination. Don’t worry. You will be fine.”

The Imperial Doctor, Craig, had been in charge of my health for many years. He was the person who understood my physical condition the most, other than my parents. He could tell at a glance why I was so dispirited.

“It’s a serious overdraft. Your Highness, this is not a simple exhaustion.” He said disapprovingly, “I’ll give you a few nutrient injections to keep your body running. When you return, you must undergo a comprehensive check-up to prevent hidden risks. I’m afraid you’ll have to stay in bed for a while.”

“I’ll listen to the doctor.” 1 knew I had done something wrong and tried to act obediently to reduce my punishment.

“What time is it now?” 1 asked my parents, “Where’s Lily? Did you find her? Has the bomb been safely defused?”

“Lily is safe. She is with her brother and grandfather now,” said my mother, but when the bomb was mentioned, her face looked a little strange.

“It wasn’t a bomb. It was a false alarm,” my father said.

“What?” I sat up in disbelief, almost letting the needle hit the wrong spot.” It was not a bomb? Is it confirmed? Are there no other conspirators?”

My father sighed and said, “The box is indeed filled with evil things, but the bomb... Obviously, we were tricked by those criminals. It was just an ordinary paper box with a watch tied to it. Other than that, there wasn’t even the slightest trace of witchcraft left.”

“So Lily, she...”

“Yes, Lily was also deceived. The criminal did not cast any witchcraft on her at all, let alone say that it would explode if it exceeded the decibel level.”

How could this be...

1 heaved a sigh of relief at the false alarm, but at the same time, I couldn’t help feeling angry.

We had been completely fooled!

Lily’s danger, Alfred’s and my sorry state, and everyone who had worked so hard for this had been completely fooled!

Was this what those bustards wanted? Planning a non-existent terrorist attack, hiding in the sewers, and laughing at us?

“I want to see Lily.” I tried to stand up. “And that box of bombs. I want to see what scared us like birds.”

My parents didn’t stop me.

Parallel Street had already been cleared, which would naturally arouse public suspicion, but life was more important than words and writing.

A temporary command center had been set up by the road, and busy police officers and staff from various departments were everywhere. Although the bomb crisis had been resolved, the entire Parallel Street needed to be thoroughly checked to prevent these criminals from leaving any ‘gifts’ elsewhere.

Lily was sitting on the side of the road with a blanket draped over her and a cup of hot chocolate in her hands.

“Hey, Lily, how are you? Are you feeling okay?” I ran over. Lily looked up, her face pale.

“Not bad. I’m fine.” She smiled reluctantly. “A false alarm is the best result, isn’t it? Although we have been tricked, nothing bad has happened. This could not be better. Thank you for saving me, Your Highness. You are a brave and kind person. 1 apologize for my previous offense.”

“No, no, this is what I should do. 1 should help any werewolf who is in trouble.” For some reason, Lily’s thanks made me feel shy. Was it because this was different from her usual style?

Due to her stormy relationship with her family, I was worried that Lily would not be willing to reveal her weakness in front of the doctor from the Silver Moon family. I suggested that Craig help examine her.

However, she didn’t seem to want to talk about it anymore. She took the initiative to change the topic. “Do you want to take a look at that box of bombs? It had become a famous relic, and everyone here has to look at it..”
