"Donovan Linsor?" Dustin frowned when he heard the name. "That name sounds familiar. Who is he?"
"You might not be familiar with Donovan Linsor, but I'm sure you know the Prince of Carsonne, Your Highness,"
Cinna said solemnly.
"So it was him!" Dustin saw red.
The Prince of Carsonne, or Donovan Linsor, was the King's younger brother. He was considered an exceptional
among the royals.
Ten years ago, Donovan was acknowledged as an outstanding talent with a great strategic vision. But for some
reason, he suddenly withdrew from the public eye.
And till this day, his whereabouts remained unknown.
"Mr. Shaffer, are you saying that the Prince of Carsonne had something to do with the assassination back then?"
Dustin pressed.

"Oh? Why do you say so?" Dustin narrowed his eyes.
"The Prince of Carsonne had a close relationship with your father. When we were attacked outside Aylka back then,
your father requested his help immediately. However, he never heard back from him."
Cinna frowned. "After that, the Prince of Carsonne chose to retire from the public eye.
"From then on, he no longer got involved in politics anymore. Clearly, he was running away from something."
"That is no doubt suspicious, but it's not reason enough." Dustin shook his head.
There might be royals involved in the matter. But with Donovan's powers alone, there was no way he'd be able to
do that.
"Your father had already noticed something amiss before things happened, so he did some investigations in private.
"He even specifically reminded us to be extra careful and to not trust anyone, not even the Prince of Carsonne.
"That was because His Highness had noticed that the Prince of Carsonne was behaving strangely and not acting
himself those few days.
"However, he had no solid evidence; it was only his suspicion. Hence, His Highness only took measures to
strengthen defenses and took no other action.
"None of us had expected how immensely powerful the person behind it was.
"Not only had the person planted spies around His Highness, but they even falsely issued military orders to send His
Highness to the borders temporarily.
"It was too late by the time His Highness realized what was happening. And the rest of it is what you already know.
"So I'm not just making baseless claims by saying that there's something fishy going on with the Prince of Carsonne.
It's just that His Highness had suspected this person who used to be his close friend since the very beginning.
"Your Highness, this is all I know." Cinna hid nothing from Dustin, telling him every detail that he knew.
After hearing what he had to say, Dustin's expression darkened. As Cinna had said, Donovan might not necessarily
be the mastermind behind it all, but he certainly knew something.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs long as he could locate Donovan, he'd be able to find out the truth behind what had happened all those years
back.
"Mr. Shaffer, do you know the Prince of Carsonne's whereabouts?" Dustin asked.
"I've been unconscious for ten years, so I can only remember what happened back then. As for what happened
after that, I have no idea." Cinna shook his head.
"Who was it that saved you then? And how did you end up at Harmony Healers? Do you recall that?" Dustin
questioned.
"I do not know the identity of the person who saved me. I only know that his last name is Judd. Apart from that, I
have no idea." Cinna shook his head yet again.
"How about you, Dr. Busch? Do you know Mr. Judd?" Dustin turned to look at Brooke suddenly.
"Truth be told, Mr. Judd had shown up yearly for the past ten years. He would ask about Mr. Shaffer's condition. But
every time we met, Mr. Judd wore a mask, so I do not know what he looks like."
"Seems like Mr. Judd is a key figure in this, too." Dustin seemed lost in his thoughts.
He had two leads now. The first was Donovan Linsor, the Prince of Carsonne. And the other was the mysterious Mr.
Judd.
But seeing how Mr. Judd had been willing to save Cinna, Dustin deduced that he wasn't an enemy.
