Saito casually revealed it to them, "Because your husband made a deal with the Crown Prince to trap me. Though it turned to be harmful for him since I trapped him back. He had no other choice than to fake his death."

As Kailyn heard his words. She slowly started to speak, "If my husband made a deal with the Crown Prince to trap you then you are my husband's enemy." She was suddenly on high alert as she said that.

Even Gloria's eyes widened as she heard her mother say that. Saito though didn't look worried and shrugged, "Well, saying that I am your husband's enemy is a bit much. We were just on different sides before the situation forced him to switch sides and join me." He thought to himself 'Though I controlled the situation to force him to switch sides.'

Kailyn was somewhat confused right now, "Then you are my husband's ally?"

Saito said to her, "Kind of. Anyways, as I was saying. After your husband faked his own death. The Crown Prince was suspicious of Captain Akazawa's death so to probe, he sent his men to observe the two of you in this whole week. He must have controlled the people around you to make you isolated within this week and let you experience despair. That is the reason why there were no friends of Captain Akazawa who came to help you and all the other things that happened to you. I am not an oracle, there are somethings that I don't know of. He must have thought that if the two of you were given enough despair then Captain Akazawa would have no choice but to reveal himself."

Kailyn then stared at him carefully and observed him, she stared to speak in a fierce voice, "If these are two men sent by the Crown Prince then why didn't you take care of them before? If you had taken care of them before then you could have told us about this information earlier and we wouldn't have to endure so much in this one week."

This was what she really wanted to ask. Saito looked at her with a serious expression and answered, "The centre part of the city where the two of you live. It has a lot more eyes and ears for the Crown Prince than here. If I dealt with them there, then someone from there was a chance that someone from the shadows could have seen me and informed it to the Crown Prince through some unknown means."

"And even if I did manage to deal with the men around that area. As for not helping you within this week. Think about it deeply. After the death of Captain Akazawa, his family suddenly disappears. And before his death, he had been in contact with me. The Crown Prince would have pointed his swords at me without any questions asked."

He took a pause to take some breath before he noticed the shock on the faces of Kailyn and Gloria.

He continued on with his explanation, "Also… even if he didn't suspect me. He would have sent out multiple search parties both within the city and outside the city. If that happened then your husband would have been caught along with you and you three would be killed before your bodies would be left in wild for the beasts to eat."

The guy who had been caught by Saito was extremely shocked as he heard the whole reasoning by Saito. He thought with completely shock 'Was that the whole plan by Crown Prince? Even I didn't know that much and I was also within that room when he explained his plan to that moron Hugh.'

He further thought as he looked at Saito with a strange fear constricting his heart 'And he could actually anticipate the Crown Prince's strategy so accurately? Just what is this guy? I never imagined that this Axel was actually so intelligent. When Crown Prince was explaining, I thought he was done for since the Crown Prince had managed to think of two-three moves ahead but here he is revealing Crown Prince's strategy as if he had thought of 2 moves ahead of Crown Prince.'

He gulped down mouthful of saliva and calmed down 'I need to do something to get this information to the Crown Prince…'

Saito didn't forget about this guy and looked at him with a ruthless smile, "Are you thinking of a way to send this information to the Crown Prince? Don't worry, I can't read your thoughts. Though its easy to anticipate the thoughts of a guy like you."

Saito then turned towards Kailyn and Gloria who were staring at him like he was a monster. With such thinking process, it was hard to look at him like he was normal.

Saito continued to explain ahead, "Now… I was originally planning to take only Captain Akazawa's wife since I didn't want the Crown Prince to send out his search parties in all direction as the disappearance of Captain Akazawa's wife was bearable as long as his daughter remained. You understand that, don't you?"

Kailyn nodded her head because this was indeed logical. Gloria felt like her mind was going to burst with so much information. It took some time for her to digest the information and respond with a nod.

Saito then let out a helpless sigh, "I was obviously going to help you out a little by handing you some food through some way. But the appearance of Captain Akazawa's brother were beyond me. I hadn't thought of that guy to interfere with my plan but he did. He created a situation where you would live a life worse than death in the city. I knew I had to adapt my plans so I sent you that paper-plane."

Kailyn nodded her head but then suddenly she had a thought and asked him, "Wait… You said that the Crown Prince would send out search parties if the both of us disappeared from the city together. But aren't we doing this right now? Wouldn't the Crown Prince send out the search parties to search for us?"

Saito nodded his head and replied to her, "Indeed. That is why I said my plan changed and I had to adapt to the situation. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with the search parties now. In fact, I even have a good plan in mind… Kukukuku…"

He chuckled in an evil tone which made them wonder if he was truly a hero. The guy next to Saito shuddered as he completely heard Saito's words.

He couldn't believe that Saito had actually already anticipated Crown Prince's moves if the situation was different. It was like he knew what the Crown Prince was like. It was like he knew him very closely but he was sure that the Crown Prince had never met up with Saito.

He had been closely protecting the Crown Prince since the day he turned 13. There was no way he had met with Saito so how could Saito predict Crown Prince's thoughts so accurately? It made him shudder with fear as he looked at Saito once again.

He had to be fast and get out of this web. He had to inform the Crown Prince that if he sent the search parties around the city, it was likely a trap. He would be moving along the plan of Saito.

But as he tried to struggle again, Saito suddenly kicked him on his chest. There was a cold look on his face, "Do you honestly believe that I would reveal my plan in front of you if you even had a small chance to escape these bindings?"

His words horrified him even more. That cold glare seemed to look straight through him. He was honestly scared of Saito. He wanted to do nothing but escape right now.

There was also another thought in the back of his head which relieved him a little 'If I can't escape then what will he even do with me? Mine and brother Lane's death is assured now.'

He wasn't scared of death. He was more scared of betraying the Crown Prince.. The loyalty he held towards the Crown Prince couldn't be measured in values.
