It was early in the morning.
Currently, Nathan was with the imperial knights.
They had just won a war against a neighbouring Empire and were returning victorious. The imperial knights didn't know his identity as the Crown Prince.
Rather, they only knew him as their leader as he had taken over as captain of this elite division, three years ago.
The Emperor made sure to conceal his identity while lying to the public that the Crown Prince was sick in his palace for years.
'I'm only letting you have your way for now father. It's not yet time for me to return to the capital.'
Nathan was leading their return, and took the South's route. He decided to let the men rest here, before venturing towards the capital.
Him and all the knights had successfully made it into the South two days ago and had lodged in an inn at the outskirts.
