Chapter 289 - 152. The Approaching Darkness (2/2)
Rehton leisurely stood back up and tilted his head theatrically “Let me ask you, Damon Who do you think will be branded as the traitor in a civil war?”
“What did you say?!”
“It’s siet his hands on the person with the noblest bloodline is the rightful patriot, while the one who failed to do so is the traitor”
Damon’s expression crumpled instantly and he quickly roused up divinity
This bastard was planning to turn Tina into a puppet! How dare he drool over the daughter of the king…!
“You bastard-!”
Daernails suddenly extended likethe inco away and painfully crashed right next to Tina’s throne, rolling away on the floor
“Keo-huhuhk!”
His face was sliced open, while a deep claound opened up froht down to his abdoaze was locked on Rehton’s ‘fingernails’
Those were no longer a human’s nails
“…Could it be that, you…?”
“Royal Princess Tina, this thing called being a va in an eerie cri, Your Majesty”
“…”
Tina slammed her staff down on the floor
Branches of trees began rushi+ng into the audience cha at least five , some more tree branches extended to wrap around the foot of the unconscious Da hiht of the wood a vampire, he still found the presence of this creature hard to bear He couldn’t win as long as Tina was under the grace of the World Tree
However…
“Ahaha! Such a lowly creature of ill not…!”
The ground ru
The soldiers following behind Rehton were crushed to death by the falling debris of the palace The ground caved in and a white snake-like creature instantly shot up fro hole
The Basilisk cho it colared at Rehton Was this the reason why monsters like orcs were inside the royal capital?
Rehton powerfully kicked off the floor and dashed forward In the blink of an eye, he h her defence and cover her rabbed and twisted her arlanced at where Daone by then
‘He ran away?’
…No, maybe not Did she ensure his safe escape?
Rehton shi+fted his gaze back to Tina
Her boundless love for her retainers see even now But this was actually for the best Things would get so leader of the rebellion was presented to the world, after all
Rehton’s s from this moment henceforth, lared at hiood puppet”
(TL: In 1st person POV)
“The civil war broke out fourteen days ago?”
I was back in the I on, I was perusing through the report but its contents were a disorganised mess, as if it had been compiled in a hurry
“Yes, Your Majesty Our side needed a lot of time to sort out the correct information, as well as to determine when the information itself had been dispatched,” Charlotte replied
Her explanation sounded about right; you’d need that much time to reach Laurensis from Aslan’s royal capital on horseback, if you travelled nonstop without taking any breaks
There were other methods of communication, like carrier birds or communication crystals, but their stability depended on the prevailing weather conditions
So, then The hordes of orcs, Necroion? Apparently, they were under the orders of Tina, too?
And the one being bla the twelve feudal lords, Damon?
“What a load of bullcrap this is”
I knew full hat kind of a person Damon was Not only was he a teacher who cared about Tina like a doting father, he was also a retainer with a truly immeasurable loyalty to her, too
‘But now, he has started a rebellion? Don’tbehindto the report,with the assistance of Queen Tina And also, they say that this rebellion was instigated by the Theocratic Empire…”
My steps came to a halt I turned around and stared at her “What was that?”
“They claim that the Theocratic Empire used the man named Da hi, Your Majesty”
“And what’s supposed to be the reason for that?”
“To display the absolute authority of the Holy King, they say, Your Majesty”
Why were they involving me in that nonsense?
When I stared at her without saying anything, Charlotte checked , “Apparently the pretext they have cohness the I, you wish to display the ht of your influence to each of the countries on the continent Not only did you openly train your army by the border wall, you also wish to flaunt to the world that you can easily change the ruler of Aslan if you wanted to Such incitements are…”
“Who said that?”
WuxiaWorldS i t e Only
“The report says that Queen Tina issued that decree”
Huh Meaning, so Seeing how Tina’s naain, she
They were still using her as a nice-looking puppet, no doubt
‘But, how did this thing happen, anyway?’
