**'Abyssal Sovereign: The Demon's Dominion'**

Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Second Prince move

At this moment, in a building adjacent to the one Rasel was staying in, Leon stood looking at everything below. He had also left the kingdom with a few guards. The difference was that no one actually cared about him.

To the princes, he was just a foolish brother who drowned himself in wine and liquor, chasing women everywhere.

Over the years, they had used women to cheat him out of everything he owned. Although he was a prince in name, he had no wealth or power. Even the women he slept with and the drinks he consumed were all provided by the First Prince, the one leading the battle for the throne and known as the heir apparent.

As for everyone else, they couldn’t give a damn about a declawed cub . He was only a prince in name. The power that came with the title was something he never possessed.

There was no benefit in killing him, so they never bothered.

That was why Leon had survived until this day.

It was also one of the reasons he never dared slack off in his act over the years. He made sure he immersed himself in everything a reckless noble could possibly be.

Now, on the road following Princess Rasel, he didn’t know why he had been attacked, but all of his guards were killed.

Finally, his system was put to good use.

As he was wounded, he, a mere mortal, broke through to Rank 0, then Low Rank 0, and finally stopped after reaching Middle Rank 0.

For the first time, he realized just how terrifying his system truly was.

As long as he was alive...

As long as he still had a single breath left...

He could survive, regenerate, and return to life one realm above his opponent.

Having survived that ordeal, Leon became far more flexible in his approach as he quickly made his way to Molak City while adapting to his newfound strength.

At this moment, Leon pondered as he looked at the young man in green robes who had entered the inn.

Should he reveal himself?

Should he work together with Rasel, gain her trust, and find out what she was really planning?

It would be difficult...

But who would ever suspect the foolish prince?

Or should he remain in the shadows?

After all, his guards were dead.

Soon, he would be declared dead as well, and the world would forget about him.

Then he could quietly gather his strength while everyone else remained in the spotlight.

When they had all exhausted themselves fighting one another...

He would emerge and reap the benefits.

It sounded like a good plan.

In fact, Leon was leaning toward it.

Yet he couldn’t shake the constant sense of dread and unease in his heart.

Princess Rasel possessed more than anyone knew.

He had a feeling that if he chose that path, instead of being the one to gain everything after the princes and Princess Rasel had exhausted their strength...

He might lose everything instead.

Leon wasn’t someone who liked to dwell on his thoughts for too long.

He stood up and headed toward the inn.

"It all depends on this..." Leon muttered, putting on a set of torn clothes and covering his face as he narrowed his eyes.

Inside the inn

The confrontation between the man from the Molak Family, Devon, and Princess Rasel had caught everyone’s attention.

At this moment, the man had withdrawn his aura, allowing those inside and outside the inn to stand again.

Some grumbled quietly, while others wore dissatisfied expressions.

After all, some of them were nobles, while others came from wealthy and powerful families.

When had they ever been treated like this?

But this was the Molak Family’s territory.

On top of that, the person before them was stronger than they were.

What could they possibly do?

Most of them, however, had already begun supporting Princess Rasel, secretly wishing she would teach the arrogant man a lesson.

The others were simply stunned.

It seemed the rumor that Princess Rasel had come to Molak City was no rumor at all.

It was reality.

And they were witnessing it with their own eyes.

"How... how dare you speak to my sister like that!"

The inn’s door burst open as an injured man stumbled inside, his clothes torn and blood flowing down his body.

The young man’s eyes widened.

Another one?

Even though the newcomer was covered in blood, he still recognized him.

It was none other than the Second Prince.

But...

Wasn’t he supposed to be a drunkard and a womanizer?

What was he doing here and why was he injured?

Not only was the young man confused and filled with questions...

Even Princess Rasel was stunned.

Although she and Leon had been close when they were children, everything changed after he became an adult.

He had lived the life of a wayward noble and had distanced himself from everyone in the royal family.

How many times had she heard their father lament that he had raised such a disgraceful son?

But here he was.

The most pressing concern was why he was injured.

After barging in and angrily pointing his finger at the man from the Molak Family, Leon swayed as his body fell face-first to the ground.

"Prince Leon!" Devon called out as he caught the body, his face filled with a frown as he looked at the unconscious Second Prince.

"I’ll get back to you, but for now, take us to your family," Devon instructed.

"Y-Yes... yes," the man hurriedly replied as he walked outside, his heart pounding violently.

Today, he had hit a wall.

If it had been any other organization, maybe he wouldn’t have been afraid.

But this was the Princess of the Ynvashi Kingdom.

Not to mention the Second Prince as well.

Worse still, Princess Rasel was a member of his family.

He had been stationed to oversee Molak City and interfere whenever fights broke out.

Over the years, he had done exactly that, even ordering the destruction of several organizations.

He had also learned to recognize those who belonged to the top powers, the people he couldn’t afford to offend.

Tonight, he had arrived excited, wondering which organization he would order destroyed.

Those from the top powers usually didn’t stay at such a low-class inn, so he had been full of confidence.

How excited he had been when he came here...

And how mortified he was now.

At the very least, his position would be gone once they returned.

Depending on what the Princess decided, he could either be locked up for months or be sent outside to join the other top powers guarding the unstable space at the edge of the world.

Either option was horrible for him.

He would no longer be able to enjoy the endless resources that allowed him to grow stronger.

Today...

Was the worst day of his life.

Meanwhile, at the back, Keith looked at Leon.

For a brief moment, his gaze turned hostile as he felt a tug in his heart.

It was as though there was something unsettling about Leon.
