Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: Chapter 354 Proclamation (2/2)
Yes, Noah was not a puppet.
He was a devout follower of the Tranquility Songster!
Years ago, when Noah faced a life-and-death crisis during an assassination of the Royal Family’s enemies, he was rescued by the Wordless Elder. Thereafter, he followed the Wordless Elder and grew stronger step by step, becoming a powerful Monarch expert.
From the beginning, he had been a believer in the Tranquility Songster.
All the power he possessed to this day was bestowed upon him by the Tranquility Songster and the Wordless Elder!
The fact that the old Cyart King was taken advantage of during his vulnerable state was also because of a trap set by Noah, and the old Cyart King had never imagined that a descendant of the Adley bloodline would plot against himself, who was a king!
The Wordless Elder remained calm, merely staring at the spot where Chris had suddenly disappeared just moments before.
He gave no answer.
A blank sheet emerged, with handwriting that revealed Aphrodus’ thoughts.
“No matter.”
“The ritual is about to begin.”
“The Tranquility Songster is about to descend, and all life will be granted peace of mind.”
Noah nodded slightly, no longer contemplating Chris’s matter, for the time had come for them to offer the entire nation to the Songster.
Yes, the outcome of the direct war was irrelevant to the Words of Tranquility. Their ultimate goal was to sacrifice Cyart to the Tranquility Songster!
Noah then recited a spell to remove the barrier around the Royal Capital.
And when the barrier dissipated and several individuals dispersed, a thick black mist rose up once again, and Chris, who had just been teleported away, reappeared at his original location.
He immediately activated the restored “Rift Moment”!
In the process where time had stopped, Chris accelerated and ran towards the outskirts of the city.
In the next instant, he had completely left the Cyart Royal Capital.
A few seconds later, the Wordless Elder arrived at the spot where Chris had just been. After a long silence, he looked up towards the direction where Chris had vanished completely.
Several days later.
The news that the assassination had failed reached Chris, now far from the Royal Capital’s sphere of influence. His Majesty Noah, the new Cyart King, had not died. Instead, he issued a proclamation stating that the evidence of the Fischer family’s treason was conclusive—they were traitorous rebels.
However, the Fischers quickly issued a statement claiming their only intention was to eliminate the evil from around His Majesty, and the assassin must certainly have been an evil cultist. They hoped His Majesty Noah would discern the good from the bad!
About the attempt on His Majesty Noah’s life, the citizens were abuzz with speculation. Chris knew that although he hadn’t succeeded completely, he had indeed damaged the prestige of the Adley Royal Family.
Because he had escaped unscathed.
——
Another month passed, and the first batch of goods from the trade with the Lorne citizens and the Fischer family finally arrived.
At the same time, the Lorne citizens brought an “item” that the Fischer family hadn’t expected.
Or rather, a person they desperately needed.
It was a five-year-old girl. She seemed ordinary, with nothing special about her, except for one particular detail—the girl’s surname.
Byrne looked at her for a long time and then lifted his head to earnestly ask, “Viscount Johnville, are you saying her surname is Adley?”
“Yes.”
Viscount Johnville looked at the little girl, who was holding the hand of a middle-aged maid, curiously and timidly looking around Fischer Manor.
He nodded and said:
“This child is a distant relative of Noah Adley. Though the relation is very distant, there’s no doubt that she carries the blood of the Cyart Royal Family!”
“Fischer, you could make her the new Queen of Cyart!”
