News of the Upper Moon Queen's crushing defeat and the fact that Alice passed the second round of the sacred test had already spread through the capital.
At the same time, Regent Hamilton was gathered with a group of dignitaries from various departments of the palace at his home.
This was a secret gathering.
Everyone present was a loyal supporter of the regent.
Or rather…
They were the highest beneficiaries of the same interest group.
They were the most capable right-hand men of the regent.
Ad
Because the authority of the regent was innately weaker than the orthodox Moonlight Queen, under the rule of Hamilton, the power of the king was divided. As such, many powerful behemoths were born in the politics of Leta.
These important figures were probably the last people in the entire Leta who wanted to see Alice crowned.
In order to protect their interests...
They were willing to abandon the true queen given to them by the gods to protect a regent that Leta no longer needed.
Naturally, they believed that the Moonlight Queen would lead Leta to create a brand new era.
Unfortunately, that beautiful new era would be established on their corpses.
However…
Even with such a strong motive, the dignitaries were increasingly aware of the dire situation against the absolute advantage of Moonlight Queen Alice. They had no choice but to consider escaping.
Today, Alice defeated the Upper Moon Queen in the same gorgeous manner as a declaration of her unparalleled terrifying strength.
Her reputation in Leta rose further.
As for the once glorious regent, he was like trash that was swept into a corner—no one cared about him.
However!
Even so!
Regent Hamilton was still smiling and in a good mood.
In fact...
He was laughing wildly!
He was no longer as anxious as before. Right now, he was in high spirits and his eyes were filled with hope.
As for the big shots they gathered, at that moment, they gradually understood how he felt.
Ad
What was displayed before everyone were two reports from the guards at the northern border as well as from the Astral Platform.
In the Gobi Desert in the north, the strongest demigod, Histia, who was passing through by chance, was attacked by a mysterious Inca woman. Furthermore, she lost and admitted defeat!
Immediately after, the Astral Platform gave a geomantic observation analysis for the past few days and finally concluded that a secret spatial teleportation had happened in the capital of the palace.
The two reports added up.
The intentions of the regent were self-evident.
"Everyone, although the news of Her Majesty Alice completing the sacred test is invigorating, I'm sorry to tell you guys bad news… I recently heard that a dangerous follower of the Blood Goddess has infiltrated the capital."
"This follower of the Blood Goddess seems to be undergoing some evil and violent sacrificial ceremony. She will hunt the strongest experts of each place and sacrifice them to the Blood Goddess. In other words… in the capital, the Great Teacher and Her Majesty Moonlight Queen might be in danger."
When the big shots heard that, they exchanged glances and smiled.
Bad news?
No, this was great news for them and was their hope of redemption!
An expert who defeated Histia was now in the capital hunting the Great Teacher and the Moonlight Queen.
If…
If the assassin's plan succeeded and she truly killed the Great Teacher and even assassinated Alice cruelly...
Ad
What would happen to the palace of Leta?
Naturally, it would return to the rule of the regent and them!
Furthermore, in the end, the Great Teacher and the Moonlight Queen's deaths would be blamed on the Blood Goddess follower. Leta would be filled with grief and indignation and vow to tear the killer into pieces.
As for the big shots, they would curse the violent killer with tears in their eyes as they reaped the rewards of regaining control of Leta.
Holy shit, they were going to get a free win!
Without the need for the regent to elaborate, they understood that they had to do their best to assist the mysterious assassin in secret next, paving the way for her actions and helping her complete her sacrificial ceremony.
That was also the reason why the regent gathered this group of big shots today.
The reason why he wanted to tell them about Lynn was because he wanted to inject a boost to this disheartened interest group so that they could continue to persevere in their fight against the Moonlight Queen.
The regent had never felt so deeply that he was an existence favored by the gods prior to this day.
He was way too lucky.
Just as he was about to fall into a desperate situation, this mysterious Blood Goddess follower appeared at the border of Leta and helped him resolve the crisis.
With a killing move like Lynn, the regent no longer had to consider waking up his son!
Ad
Awakening Sebastian was an absolutely unwise move. The price that the regent had to pay to awaken this demigod who was fused with the earth was way too tragic.
That was a price he was definitely unwilling to endure, even if it was compared to his life.
However… Everything was fine now.
There was someone who would help him get rid of his political enemies and a bright path had already opened up before him!
Next, all he had to do was wait patiently for the good news of the Great Teacher and Alice's deaths!
Right then.
Suddenly, a subordinate walked in and whispered into the ears of the regent.
"Sir, Miss Lynn wants to see you."
The regent was stunned when he heard that and stood up hurriedly.
"Everyone, please excuse me."
…
The regent still valued the current Lynn immensely.
He made a move immediately the moment he heard that Lynn wanted to see him.
The regent speculated excitedly.
Could it be...
Had Lynn already gotten rid of the Great Teacher?
Could it be that fast?!
Not long after the regent walked out of the living room, a shadow appeared silently behind him and revealed its true form instantly.
"Your Highness the Regent."
Lynn gave the regent a friendly smile.
Lynn's appearance was silent, as though she was born out of thin air.
This was a low profile appearance that no demigod could achieve.
Ad
It had to be said that because this woman did not have any divinity or magic reaction in her body, her presence was extremely low and she was perfect for assassination attempts.
Theoretically speaking, there was no way the regent's faction could be linked to Lynn.
After all, if Lynn really killed the Great Teacher and Moonlight Queen, things would be bad if the regent was discovered to be related to her.
However…
Lynn was a mysterious assassin who had infiltrated the palace stealthily.
The regent did not know what the assassin looked like.
Right now, everything he did was merely because he was 'deceived by the assassin'.
The regent revealed a friendly smile as well.
"Miss Lynn, why are you looking for me? Are you here to tell me good news?"
"No…"
Lynn shook her head gently. "Your Highness, I'm here to bid you farewell."
