Chapter 336 - Agatha (34) (1/2)

Villains would always be as lucky as the protagonists before the final confrontation. Or at least, their luck wouldn't let them die just like that. That was something Jiang Li was long aware of so he didn't feel the need to remind Margarette to not go overboard in her dealings with Agatha.

His mind was on another matter altogether. On a trouble coming his way.

So while the princess was experimenting with the villainess, Jiang Li no longer stayed still and started to be more active in the mystic world of the kingdom. He discovered through one of his own pets, a crow raised through black arts, that a group of people from the Borley Kingdom were rushing towards Holon.

Their identities were unknown to most people, but Jiang Li had a hunch who one of the people in the small group of horse riders was.

The male lead. Adam.

As expected, even if it was overdue, the male protagonist would still be able to locate his female lead… As a good extra character, Jiang Li, of course, would welcome the valiant knight with the best gift that he could give.

He was just wondering, which of the two would Adam recognize? The soul or the body? How would this poor guy react once he discovered both were already married?

Jiang Li did not linger in the question for long and check on all the parties involved in the plot. The villainess and the people in the palace were left to Margarette since as the real princess, she had lived in the place for eighteen years. She knew it like the back of her hands.

As for the coven, it was inspected personally by him. Unsurprisingly, he had confirmed that there were two factions within Agatha's witch group. Apart from the split factions from within, as a whole, they were also not coexisting peacefully with the churches and several other mystic groups, both from inside and outside the country.

In the storyline, the villainess easily fell in the leads' hands because of the two leads' overwhelming luck and plot armor. But apart from that, it was also because she couldn't receive timely help from her allies who had been attacked by another faction amidst internal strife. The most painful part was that it all happened just when she was about to hear from the emissary from the neighboring kingdom the information she wanted to know the most.

She had no idea the cure would be useless to her. All she knew was that she didn't manage to get it because of the two leads. With her dreams and hopes dashed like that, it was no wonder she fell into insanity and resented the world so much before she died. She must have felt that it was also the world's fault because it favored the ducal couple so much.

In this lifetime, Jiang Li told Agatha in advance the intel those bastards from Borley would give her in exchange for the method to break the lineage restriction.

”I said it before, the Church of Wisdom won't give you the real cure.”

”The contract only stipulates that they are to give you the method to heal infertility, but they could simply fulfill it by giving you a cure that works on men and you won't be able to demand the Goddess of Vows to punish them.”

”Do you get what I mean?”

The villainess' coldly replied. ”I'm no fool. But how can I trust you? I have investigated you and know that you posed as a fake messenger of Penemue before. ”

The villainess had the impression he was a vengeful trickster due to diarrhea and the other random punishments so she would definitely not trust his words.

He could only shrug and wait for the woman to suffer again to learn her lesson. ”Fine. I wish you the best. No, I wish catastrophe strikes you soon so I can consider my job done.”

He only got silence as a response.

Days passed. From the royal consort, he learned that a royal from Borley had contacted her and informed her of his arrival. It caught Jiang Li by surprise, but then he realized it was simply the plot not giving up on the female lead of Borley so it wanted to progress the story by sending both the villain and the male lead to her side.

He managed to confirm this when Agatha secretly slipped away and met up with Count Cornwell.

”The second prince of the neighboring kingdom secretly joined a group of knights heading here to rescue a kidnapped noble,” she told the count after the usual greetings. The venue was in the latter's mansion which had more defensive measures than the previous time.

”The Second Prince? Prince Benedict?” asked the old wizard.
