Chapter 787 Dissatisfied with the ending

?The fourth prince looked like he wasn't happy with this response, but he didn't say anything in the end.

I also didn't say a word since there really wasn't any information that I could give him even if I wanted to.

The game didn't give me any information on this, so there wasn't anything that I could tell him.

In the end, the fourth prince just gave a simple nod before saying, "Then what should we do about him?"

I knitted my brows in thought for a bit before saying, "Well, there is one thing that we can test before anything else. If this test works, then we might have to consider what we will do with this person."

The fourth prince was surprised to hear this, but he gave another simple nod without saying anything.

It seemed that the fourth prince trusted me to the point where he wouldn't ask what I was planning. He would just accept that I had a plan and go along with it.

"We'll need..."

...

An hour later, there was a large tub of water that was rolled into the square.

This tub was a large water storage tub that was used to store water for the city. This was one of the emergency tubs that was used around the city just in case there was ever a drought, so this was a tub that could hold a large amount of water.

As for why it was brought here...

When Viper saw this tub being rolled in, he was certainly surprised. However, that surprise didn't last long as he could already guess why it had been rolled into this place.

After he confessed that he was from the Tide Empire's royal family, there was only reason that it could be brought here. Though he had to admit that he was surprised by the fact that the people of this kingdom seemed to know about the history of the Tide Empire.

Once the tub was rolled in, the guards lifted Viper over and threw him into the tub.

They didn't even bother releasing the cuffs that were holding his hands, so he wasn't even able to swim since they inhibited his hands. As soon as he touched the water, Viper started to sink because of the weight of the cuffs on his hands.

However, Viper didn't seem to panic at all as he sank under the water.

He didn't even bother taking a deep breath as if he was planning to hold his breath.

After sinking into the water, Viper just calmly stood there at the bottom of the tub with a relaxed look on his face.

The only way that he could be doing something like this was if he was able to breathe under the water.

When one looked closely, they could see that there were flaps that had appeared on the side of his neck. It seemed that those flaps had only appeared when he sunk into the water, almost as if it was a reaction to being soaked in water like this.

Viper just calmly stood there in the water for a while before saying, "Is this enough for you?"

Both the fourth prince and I knitted our brows when we heard this.

After all, this was more than enough to prove at the very least that Viper had the merfolk bloodline. While it wasn't certain if he was related to the Tide Empire's royal family, it still meant that he was from the Tide Empire since he had merfolk blood.

The fact that he was able to breathe underwater showed that the concentration of merfolk blood in his veins was quite thick.

While this didn't prove his claims, it meant that his claims weren't baseless.

That meant that at the very least, we couldn't do what we wanted with Viper.

He was the only one that had to be treated differently.

The fourth prince was silent for a bit before giving a nod to the guards.

The guards pulled Viper out of the water and they didn't even bother drying him as they pulled him away.

The fourth prince personally went over to the judge and whispered a few things in his ear.

The judge had a visible look of surprise on his face when he heard what the fourth prince had to say. After he finished speaking, the judge even looked at him as if he was questioning if he was being serious or not.

Seeing that the fourth prince's expression didn't change at all, the judge had no choice but to accept that the fourth prince wasn't joking.

The judge then slammed his gavel and said, "Because of indecisive evidence, the trial for the criminal Viper has been delayed. He will be tried at a later time when all the evidence has been gathered."

While he hadn't been freed, Viper was at the very least not sentenced at the moment and given a delay of trial.

That meant that there might be a change in the future depending on the situation.

So in a sense, it was his victory.

The rest of the Snake Syndicate would be tried as normal since this was a revelation that only affected Viper.

They all tried to complain about how unfair this was, but the fourth prince just ordered the guards to gag them. It seemed like he wasn't playing around anymore as he completely took away their right to resist.

It was almost as if he had lost his patience and wanted to end this as soon as possible.

Though the trial was already over and they would have been sentenced anyway even if he left them alone.

It didn't seem like something that the fourth prince would do, but I understood why he did this.

It was because he was dissatisfied with this ending.

He had planned everything and then there was this unknown variable that had suddenly thrown a wrench in his plans, ruining all of his hard work.

Anyone that encountered this situation would be unhappy with how it ended, not just the fourth prince.

So I just remained silent and let him pout.
