Blood and organs splattered in every direction, turning the area into a horrific scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Nolan had already told his sister to close her eyes. Otherwise, the sight would have terrified her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Black Rose and Red Rose could only stand frozen in place. Their faces were deathly pale, their lips trembling as if they wanted to speak but couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan turned toward them and gave a faint smile. He dismounted his horse and asked, \"What about you two? How do you want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold, cruel words made both women tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they had planned to seize the chance while the others attacked Nolan and Seira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, everyone had died in the most horrifying way possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan, whom they had considered a worthless prince, had been hiding his power all along. And the person who placed the bounty had never mentioned any of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Wait, Nolan Lorian!\" Black Rose stammered. \"Can you spare us? I mean, the two of us never even tried to kill you. Doesn't it make no sense for you to direct your killing intent at us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Rose nodded frantically and added, \"T-That's right! Just pretend we were never involved, okay? We beg you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears streamed down their beautiful faces as they begged for mercy. At a glance, they looked utterly pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other man, he might have felt a pang of sympathy and let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who was Nolan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a man who upheld equality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether man or woman, as long as they showed hostility toward him and his family, there was only one outcome: death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nolan remain silent as his footsteps drew closer, Red Rose realized he had no intention of sparing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth, she suddenly pulled a dagger from her pocket and hurled it at Nolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan easily knocked it aside. But the dagger exploded the moment it hit the ground, releasing a thick cloud of black smoke that swallowed his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Black Rose and Red Rose vanished from where they stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem!\" Nolan coughed, waving his hand in front of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared in the direction they had fled and gave a faint smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to run away from me? How naive…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two shadowy figures leaped from one tree branch to another at incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They glanced back from time to time, and when they saw Nolan wasn't chasing them, they finally let out sighs of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, they began to slow down. But in the next moment, a mysterious force appeared and restrained their bodies in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red Rose's and Black Rose's eyes widened in fear. They exchanged glances, already knowing who was behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk! Do we really have to play hide-and-seek?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan appeared on a nearby branch. With his hands in his pockets, he gazed at the twin sisters floating helplessly in the air, wearing a playful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-Nolan Lorian… who… are you!? How… can you have power like this!?\" Red Rose asked in a trembling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan's power was deeply mysterious. It was invisible, yet it controlled her and her sister so completely that they couldn't even move a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to know that,\" Nolan replied calmly. \"What you should be thinking about right now is your own life. How do you want to die?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't be fooled by the two of them. It was obvious they had only been buying time, waiting for an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them grew even more terrified. They could sense the weight behind Nolan's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-Nolan Lorian… how about you let us go? In exchange, we'll tell you who organized this bounty,\" Black Rose offered in a choked voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was certain Nolan would accept. After all, knowing who wanted him dead would give him peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sure enough, Nolan's eyebrows lifted slightly. He fell silent for a moment, then gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's an interesting offer. Alright. Tell me who's behind this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Rose pursed her lips. \"Before I answer, you have to promise not to kill us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan's eyes narrowed, and his voice turned icy. \"You're not in a position to bargain with me. Speak now, or I'll kill both of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that gaze—sharp as a blade—the two women stiffened, a chill running down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I don't know exactly who issued it,\" Black Rose replied nervously. \"But one thing's certain—the bounty came from the royal palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she didn't know who had placed it. She and her sister had only received the order through the assassin organization they worked for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan frowned. \"Is that all? How boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected something more useful. But he'd overestimated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way the one behind it would expose their identity openly. That would be suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too bad. Your information is worthless, so I won't waste any more time on this nonsense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers. A black fireball appeared above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either of them could react, the black flames dropped down and engulfed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heat was so intense they couldn't even scream. Within moments, their bodies and clothes turned to ash, which was then scattered by the biting night wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan didn't leave right away. His thoughts lingered on the person in the palace who had placed a bounty on him and Seira.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be him?\" His eyes narrowed. \"If so… what a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a faint smile. \"He's created an enemy he'll never be able to defeat in his entire life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft chuckle escaped his lips. Still, Nolan had no intention of dealing with that person yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let him enjoy himself for a few more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came, Nolan's revenge would arrive and shatter all his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, open your eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan's soft voice startled Seira. She slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nolan?\" Her eyes widened in surprise. \"Are you okay? And…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wariness rose as she glanced left and right. \"Where are those bad guys? They didn't hurt you, did they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, she gripped Nolan's shoulders tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. I took care of them. You can relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira froze. Only then did she realize the others were gone. The area around them was deserted and eerily quiet, with not a single person in sight within ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\" Her eyes widened in shock. \"What did you do to them? Could it be that you…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Nolan had already mounted his horse and patted her thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about it. Now, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira swallowed her curiosity and nodded weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Nolan was about to spur the horse forward, a faint sound came from behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them instinctively turned their heads and saw a thick, long black shadow stretching to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seira's breath caught in her throat. \"N-Nolan, they've caught up to us! Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan nodded grimly. Without hesitation, he kicked the horse's sides, and the two of them sped away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1178,"2026-05-30T06:57:32.241Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","38be35a4ab41a270697bde57b8a8b1f918535d7c90c24dd686277117978178e1","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-678","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-676",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
