Chapter 854: That Person (2/2)

During this entire process, Elder Prince Arshavin sat in his seat quietly, and he didn’t say anything. It seemed like the shouts and executions didn’t pull in his attention as his mind was somewhere else. It felt like even if all the top-tier officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters were executed here today, his mind still wouldn’t be here even though this news would be shocking to almost every Zenitian.

The execution was continuing.

-St. Petersburg, the Elder Princess Estate that wasn’t far from the Royal Palace-

As a key member of the Royal Family who had stayed on the side of Elder Prince Arshavin before, Elder Princess Tanasha who was known as Zenit’s Goddess of Intelligence had immeasurable influence on the political sphere of Zenit. This wise and intelligent woman was like an arm to Arshavin, and she was his No.1 Advisor and had control over half of St. Petersburg. Many nobles were more respectful and fearful of this woman, who was probably the smartest in the history of Zenit, compared to Elder Prince Arshavin.

Elder Princess Tanasha was crucial to the growth of the legendary King Alexander of Chambord. Before the competition among all affiliated kingdoms of Zenit, many nobles with fast and accurate information networks knew that the two of them were very intimate.

Unfortunately, the Elder Princess and the King of Chambord’s relationship became subtle as the Elder Prince became hostile toward the King of Chambord.

That day, the enraged King of Chambord barged into St. Petersburg with his invincible power and put an end to the conflict by giving the Elder Prince one punch, shocking the entire empire. Before he left, he said, “This is disappointing.”

Many people thought about it and felt like it was said to Elder Princess Tanasha.

No one knew what effect that had on the Elder Princess, and no one knew how the Elder Princess viewed the King of Chambord: A tool? An ally? Or a close friend?

The only observable fact was that the Elder Princess started to disappear in people’s view with the claim that her illness was getting worse. Even the most trusted subordinates of the Elder Prince never saw the Zenit’s Goddess of Intelligence again.

Rumors said that the Elder Prince and the Elder Princess were no longer close due to the King of Chambord. This pair of brother and sister, where one had the best military talent and the other had the most intelligent brain, seemed to have parted ways. They were close and were the perfect partners who dominated St. Petersburg and Zenit, but that seemed to be in the past.

All kinds of rumors were passed around.

However, the truth was never as simple as it seemed on the surface.

In the Elder Princess Estate where few people could be seen, the Elder Princess, who was wearing a white, sleeveless traditional dress, was sitting in a bamboo chair quietly in the back garden under a lush and fragrant tree. Her surroundings were green, and she looked up at the faint blue sky as if she were thinking and waiting for something. Deep inside her beautiful, crystal-blue eyes that looked like an ocean and could see through everything, there was a faint sorrow which was hard to detect.

In her purple dress, Ziene who was valiant and high spirited stood by Tanasha’s side quietly.

“Right now, Arshavin should be taking action, right?” Elder Princess Tanasha sighed and asked in a low voice.

“In the most recent report that we got, everything at the Imperial Military Headquarters is under Elder Prince His Highness’ control. Don’t worry; no force in St. Petersburg could match [Iron Blood Legion]. In terms of military talent, the Elder Prince is also at the top.” Ziene comforted Tanasha.

“Eh, that is good.” Tanasha nodded and said, “Inform Paris; they can start moving as well.”

“Your Highness, the Imperial Patrol always stood against us; it is under the control of the Second Prince His Highness. Will they fully support us? This operation has no room for error.” Ziene reminded her.

“Don’t worry; Paris isn’t stupid, and she knows the importance of this. Also, that person should be by Paris’ side. He will make sure that this operation is successful.” The worry in Elder Princess Tanasha’s eyes intensified at this moment.

“That person… you mean?” Ziene seemed to know whom the Elder Princess was referring to.
