Chapter 426 - 426: Morning before departure part 2 (1/2)
What's Diana doing here? She's panting, not only because of her running and trying to get here as soon as possible, but also, because she's worried, worried about us. I can tell it in a glance
”Brother... I, Diana Rose, hereby declare your arrest by the name of our King.” [Diana]
The first part, after she said brother, it isn't hesitation, but rather, confusion. Not the confusion of why did his brother siding with the meddling third party, but rather...
(Qis and the other guards. They're hiding it quite well. Even Diana herself. The fact that they just wake up from sleep that they don't want to) [Ash]
I see. I can tell what's happening. Three plot by three separate party, all center around the fake doppelgangers.
The first prince, trying to release them. I am not sure why, but knowing him, there's bound to be more and more reason
Diana, who wanted to capture the prince by her own hand, only to be put asleep under some sort of spell. The confusion part that I noticed earlier is simple, why didn't her brother finish her off for good when it's his best chance of doing so. Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to let the fake doppelgangers escape, kill Diana and put the blame on both doppelganger for killing a royalty and blame Diana for her incompetency
(Finally undone it) [Titania]
(Undone what?) [Elise]
(I'm surprised you didn't notice it, but it actually make sense. There is a sort of hybrid spell of doppelganger and devil being put on them, to make them fall deeper into coma) [Titania]
(We... We couldn't sense it at all) [Muse]
(How about you Brother Ash?) [Rean]
(Unfortunately no) [Ash]
(That's even more surprising. I reckon you're put under that very same spell plus being controlled by a devilish parasite at the same time. The fact that you didn't even realize the same spell being used on your future wife is worrying) [Titania]
(I see... I guess I really am incompetence) [Ash]
(Don't be too hard on yourself, none of us did) [Rean]
Well, the third party is us, the one that sort of succeeded on achieving their goal
So, to summarize
Diana, knowing her brother is up to something, make a plan to capture him --> Be put under a spell --> will be killed Should I not interfere with my own plan
Plus, looking at Linda's current state, I'm sure she's their go to should anything go south, but she's also equally, if not, even more affected by the spell than any of them. Most probably, Linda and the other assume petty trick won't work for someone who's the minion of god of death, but alas, lesson learn. I guess God of Life and Death power really do antagonize each other
By the way,
(Just what is the trigger for them to wake from their sleeps?) [Ash]
Better just ask her. I don't know what's with their long conversation, I'm sure it is sibling and political related stuff that I am not much interested, although by this point I should
Regardless, after being chained under a powerful spell, they brought the first prince into the same confinement back. Is it appropriate? Well, since we are all here, any attempt should be futile. For now, while awaiting King Estel, I should just ask Diana how she suddenly wakes up
”Charlotte call me. Somehow, just somehow, that actually wakes me up...” [Diana]
”A simple phone call? That's strange?” [Muse]
