Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Chapter 417 Assassination of Queen Peggy (2/2)

Hecate seemed to sigh in relief, muttering to herself, “Thank goodness, Uncle Darren has finally left. I was so afraid he would discover you.”

“Why do you need to hide me?” Charlotte was slightly taken aback, asking.

Hecate provided an answer, “Because my uncle is a very strict man. If he found out about your existence, he would definitely not let you stay with me. He would be afraid that you would harm me, but I can tell that you are a good person.”

So that was it, Charlotte understood.

Hecate then asked, “What is your name?”

“I…”

Charlotte wanted to speak but then fell silent; all she needed was to make up a name, but for some reason, she just didn’t want to lie to the other party.

The girl named Hecate was just too gentle and kind. How could she deceive someone like that?

Charlotte’s prolonged silence seemed to make Hecate think she didn’t trust her, so she sighed.

After a moment of silence between them, Hecate’s eyes suddenly began to fill with tears as she said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have the right to be trusted by you, which is totally normal. I’m used to it.”

“Actually, I’ve never really had any friends, and most people at the Fischer Manor are afraid of me, dislike me, all just because I come from a special background. My bad reputation gradually spread, and even though I did nothing wrong, people detest and hate me, not wanting to come close to me anymore…”

As she spoke, her voice choked up, and after hesitating for a while, she still asked with a sob in her voice:

“If it’s possible, I hope you can be my friend, okay?”

Charlotte’s heart was in turmoil, not knowing how to respond, she couldn’t help but ponder that it would be difficult to abduct her to escape the Fischer Manor; perhaps she should focus on healing her wounds before contemplating other matters.

“…”

Maybe she shouldn’t kidnap her for now…

The next day, Her Majesty Queen Peggy’s wedding arrived as scheduled.

The wedding banquet was filled with an atmosphere of joy, as if the entire hall was encased in a glow of happiness.

The guests, adorned in splendid attire, with smiles on their faces, chatted merrily with one another, laughter and cheerful voices filling the air.

They gathered around elegant dining tables, savoring dishes meticulously prepared by top chefs, occasionally raising their glasses to offer their sincerest blessings to Her Majesty Queen Peggy and His Highness Prince Arte.

Queen Peggy and Arte Fischer stood at the center of the banquet hall.

Arte Fischer, the second son of Christine, was dressed in a magnificent outfit, fairly ordinary in appearance, his silver hair hanging low, tall and lean.

Queen Peggy, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, smiled as she looked towards the congratulating guests, responding to each person with warm words.

The music of the royal orchestra echoed throughout the hall, yet it seemed no one noticed that an old man, clad in black, with a pale complexion and high cheekbones, was blending into the crowd, calmly drawing nearer.

Fischer family, you’ve been troubled lately, haven’t you?

I’ve finally infiltrated here, just one last step.

The old man publicly passed as a relative of Bishop Zane, but that appearance was just a disguise; he was in fact the most dangerous person at the banquet!

He was a Monarch powerful expert hired by the Rhea People from the sea, a true assassin sent to kill Queen Peggy!

To avoid being locked onto by the National Defense Barrier’s power, the old man suppressed his strength during the Metamorphosis Phase to enter Siyate, then broke through to the Monarch Level within the barrier.

Right from the start, the complete plan was for him, who possessed Monarch Level power, to deal with Queen Peggy; the rest of those who infiltrated were merely cannon fodder and distractions to conceal his movements.

These people were all unaware of the full plan, and each group thought they would become the heroes to rebel against the Fischer family and assassinate Queen Peggy.

They indeed played quite some part.

Now, the Fischers, in order to guard against the disruptive enemies, had diverted some of their power and attention outside of Nasir City, providing the old man with the perfect opportunity to strike!

Once he successfully killed her, he would immediately use a Forbidden rare artifact to teleport out at a price… Everything would be smooth.

The man in black slowly lifted his hand, intently watching the soon-to-be-lost figure of Queen Peggy.
