The most important thing was to find Donovan and ask him about the truth behind what had happened.

"Mr. Shaffer, you should rest up since you've just woken up. If there's anything you need, just tell me any time."

Dustin helped Cinna lie back on the bed.

"Your Highness!" Cinna suddenly grabbed Dustin's arm. He said earnestly, "What happened then is all in the past

now. Forget about it.

"If you continue investigating, it will only put you in danger. I believe the Princess Consort would have wanted you to

live your life peacefully!"

"Mr. Shaffer, this is an unresolved matter that weighs heavily on my heart, and I feel guilty for it. If I do not get to

the bottom of it, I shall never find peace," Dustin explained.

Seeing the look of determination in his eyes, Cinna could only sigh. He did not say any more. He knew that with

Dustin's stubborn personality, he would never back down on something when his heart was already set on it.

"Mr. Shaffer, all you need to do now is to rest well. Don't put your thoughts on such trivial matters. I'll deal with

them. Just rest up."

Dustin shot him a smile to reassure him before turning to walk out the door.

Now that Cinna was safe, he finally felt at ease. His goal was to find Donovan Linsor, the Prince of Carsonne, who

was now in hiding. And only the person in Aylka could help him with that.

After he left the villa, Dustin made a call to a mysterious number.

Soon, the lazy voice of a woman could be heard. "Hey, why are you calling me again? Haven't I given you the

Iceheart Lotus you requested last time?"

"About the Iceheart Lotus, I'd like to thank you for it." Dustin exchanged pleasantries before going to the main

reason for his call. "I'm calling you to ask about something."

"Stop right there!" The woman stopped him before he could continue any further.

"Logan Rhys, please do not overstep your boundaries. I made it clear the last time that I'll only help you once. We're

even now. Are you going back on your word?"

"It's true that we're square now. But if you help me this time, I'd owe you a favor. If you ever run into a situation

where you need help, I'll be there in a heartbeat," Dustin promised.

"I have my way in the palace. What can you help me with?" the woman asked.

"Everyone runs into trouble at some point or another. It'll do you no harm having another ally.

"Take this as an investment, if you will. You should know that the Rhys family always keeps our word," Dustin

persuaded.

"Fair point." The woman hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Alright, I'll hear you out. If it isn't too much of a

hassle, I might consider helping you."

"I'd like to ask you about the Prince of Carsonne." Dustin cut straight to the point. "Ten years ago, he suddenly

retired from the public eye.

"I'd like to know where he went. Where is he hiding now?"

"The Prince of Carsonne? Why are you asking about him?" the woman asked curiously.

"It's a secret. It'll do you no good knowing too much. It might get you in trouble," Dustin answered secretively.

"Forget it then. I hate trouble." She seemed to have lost interest.

"Do we have a deal then?" Dustin asked cautiously.

"I'll help you out just this once for the sake of your mother. But remember, this is the last time I'm helping you!" the

woman said sternly.

"Sure," Dustin answered. "How long will it take to have an answer?"

"You'll have your answer in three days. Wait for it." With that, the call ended.
