Chapter 340: Fifth Princess Fiona (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
It wasn't just King Erskine showing no emotions in his eyes, there were also no eyes to be seen. The eye socket was hollowed, but looking closely one would be able to see black-colored spiders moving inside.
”This...” Queen Olivia was in complete disbelief. She could only stare wide eyes at King Erskine who she was fighting against a while ago who once looked really normal now turned into some unknown person.
”Can someone tell me what is going on right now?” Queen Maria said as she turned to look at Elder Rain, who is now releasing a murderous aura.
”Elder Rain?” Madam Silva noticed this as well.
”Listen to me, all of you leave now and bring only your men to evacuate as far away as possible from Silver city, or if it's possible, just entirely leave the Silver Kingdom altogether. I don't have any time to keep on explaining. Just go, NOW!” Elder Rain exclaimed, his eyes staring murderously at Fifth Princess Fiona.
The real reason why Elder Rain wanted them to leave was simply because he finally found the target for his current mission. To be honest, he didn't come here to Silver Kingdom just to see his younger brother Leo nor was it to help his wife Olivia win this war. It wasn't also to bring Commander Ava back to the Sword and Magic Headquarters after she failed her mission of protecting Floating Mountain. Those things were just coincidental, or to be more precise, he did it in the passing.
The exact reason why Elder Rain really came here in Silver Kingdom was to look for Spider Queen, a 9th Galaxy Mage. She's a really famous woman in the battlefield of the War of Races known as a Puppeteer, or otherwise more commonly known as Puppet Master. She's in the bounty list of the Sword and Magic with a huge bounty of 100 small Magic stones.
However, Spider Queen being on the bounty list is also not the real reason why Elder Rain went into the trouble to look for her. The real reason was for him to recruit her to join his team. He needed her more than what a mere 100 small Magic stones could give to him.
The first trace Elder Rain found about her was through the Underground World of Dragon Horn Empire, which coincidentally leads to the Silver Kingdom. Then the second trace he found was through Puppet Master Lu Ming who uses the same Puppeteer technique as Spider Queen, specifically using strings just like how spiders use webs, which is the main reason why he bought Lu Ming inside the Gaia's World so that he can interrogate him.
If Fifth Princess Fiona really turns out to be Spider Queen in disguise, just like what Elder Rain had thought, then the Silver Kingdom is in danger. Why? Because once she is given enough time, the entire Silver Kingdom would definitely become her puppets. After all, she's a wanted criminal, so doing such a thing is definitely possible for her. Not to mention, she has stayed for so long in Silver Kingdom already, basing on the sole fact that she has even made King Erskine her puppet. So assuming that she has more puppets is definitely possible as well, meaning even those civilians could be just her puppets, hence bringing them along might cause danger.
Of course, despite knowing the danger Spider Queen brings, Elder Rain won't change his mind to recruit her. That's also the second reason why he wanted Queen Olivia and the others to leave so that he can have a private conversation with Spider Queen and no one would know about it aside from the both of them.
”No! We can't just leave you here alone and let you face an unknown enemy, right?” Queen Olivia didn't hesitate to refuse Elder Rain.
”Indeed! We will stay and fight with you against whoever that person you are wary against!” Queen Maria nodded her head in agreement.
”We are not afraid! If worst really comes, then all of us will just die together!” Madam Silva added.
”Stupid!” Elder Rain shoots a sharp look at them, ”That person right there is no longer related to the war of Silver Kingdom. This is something else, something even more dangerous, and more importantly, something you three are not involved with. Just leave, I don't need you here to help me against her.”
”You...” Queen Olivia was momentarily stunned after hearing Elder Rain's words. What does he mean about he doesn't need them? That... weren't they fighting together a while ago, so what happens to that?
Queen Maria and Madam Silva both finally understood what Elder Rain wanted, specifically he doesn't want them to be involved in his matter and die.
”Let's go!” Queen Maria pulled Queen Olivia.
”But...” Queen Olivia wanted to say something, but she was immediately cut off by Madam Silva.
”You don't have to worry about Elder Rain. Didn't we just discovered that he's more powerful than we thought?” Madam Silva said with a shook of her head.
Hearing Madam Silva's persuasion, Queen Olivia could only nod her head and agree to leave.
”Thank you.” Queen Maria and Madam Silva both expressed their gratefulness to Elder Rain for saving them. They then turned to look at Queen Olivia, waiting for her to say her farewell.
