Throughout various dynasties, countries, and even ethnic groups, princesses in royal families have mostly been viewed with skepticism or even portrayed as tragic figures.

The main reason is that in most periods when the title "princess" existed, it was associated with a preference for sons over daughters.

This results in "princesses" often having little power or the right to make decisions, and instead being used for exchange or sacrifice.

Even the princess of the Blood Demon Royal Family could not escape this fate.

Her best future was to marry into a powerful clan as a bridge to maintain relations between the two groups.

Before she reached marriageable age, her brother and father died in battle one after another.

Ultimately, the future left to her was to wearily gather the remnants of her army and shoulder the heavy burden of the royal family, only to encounter a rebellion from a collateral branch of the clan before she could even familiarize herself with the process.

As a young and vulnerable woman, she watched helplessly as her soldiers died one by one, and in the end, even her loyal guards perished while protecting her during her escape.

The tears have long since dried up.

There was nothing in the world left for her to cherish.

I have absolutely no interest in plots involving restoring a kingdom and seizing power.

Death is the best relief.

Unfortunately, the Red Fatty wouldn't allow her to die.

Because the royal family's secret treasures have not yet been handed over.

Theoretically speaking, if one is determined to die, handing over the treasure readily is the simplest way.

But she harbored resentment.

I hate that the Red Fatty is so ruthless and shows no mercy to the royal family.

You should know that her most likely marriage target was this Red Fatty, the one from a collateral branch who always seemed honest, loyal to the royal family, and trusted by her father!

Although she doesn't have pure blood, her children born after marriage could potentially inherit the bloodline. As long as a boy who inherits the bloodline appears, this branch will officially enter the royal lineage and become true "one of us"!

to this end.

The royal army launched two ground campaigns, recruiting soldiers from all factions for frontline assaults, but spared the Red Fatty's men.

Because her father believed that anyone could betray her, but this Red Fatty would not.

In case of unforeseen circumstances and the royal family suffers a defeat in battle.

Even when they escape back underground, they have a powerful ally to support them, preventing them from being completely wiped out.

result.

No one expected this.

The person most loyal to the royal family delivered the heaviest and most fatal blow to them.

It was precisely because they were not drafted in either of the two major wars that they were able to retain a large manpower pool.

Currently, the most powerful force underground is the Red Fatty's lineage. He overthrew the royal family in one fell swoop and has become the true leader of the Blood Demon Clan, wielding immense power.

Once the royal treasure is obtained, everything will be settled.

The princess harbored resentment.

The person she trusted most hurt her the most.

So no matter how much pain she endured, she didn't want to let such an ungrateful and treacherous villain succeed.

From the day she was imprisoned, she never revealed any information about the secret treasure to Red Fatty. The royal confidants imprisoned outside only knew a few insignificant words at most, and the truly core information was only known to members of the bloodline.

Coincidentally.

Now, she is the only remaining member of the royal bloodline.

As long as she can die peacefully.

The royal family's secret treasures will be sealed away forever, never to be known by anyone again.

The princess, wrapped up like a silkworm cocoon, lay on the stone bed, quietly awaiting that day.

Unexpectedly.

He didn't live to see death.

But then their greatest enemy appeared.

The moment the princess saw Wang Wen.

The faces she had long known about from the remnants of the army and deeply etched into her mind caused the princess's numb face to reveal an expression unlike any she had ever shown before.

It's very complicated.

The gaze fixed intently on Wang Wen seemed capable of tearing his flesh apart.

And there was a hint of helplessness in it.

For her.

The person who killed her brother and father, causing her family to be destroyed and leading the royal family to its current state, is Wang Wen.

This deep-seated hatred is no less than that of the Red Fatty.

But reason told her that it was the Blood Demon Royal Family who had started the war, and since war had begun, it was normal for anyone to die, regardless of who was in it.

Where there is war, there is death.

The side that starts the war deserves its own death and has no one else to blame but itself.

The people from the mainland did nothing wrong, and Wang Wen, who killed his brother and father, did nothing wrong either. He was just protecting the people he was supposed to protect.

Thus, these two opposing lines of thought repeatedly entangled in her mind.

This caused her a great deal of additional pain beyond her hatred.

When she saw Wang Wen, she didn't even know how to face her.

A family member went to kill the other party, but ended up being killed by the other party instead.

I felt both hatred and guilt.

It's not as satisfying as the simple hatred that Red Fatty has.

And in the next second...

Something happened that made her even more distressed, conflicted, devastated, and confused, leaving her feeling trapped and helpless.

Wang Wen waved to her.

She discovered that the various injuries on her body that had been so painful that they had gone numb had suddenly stopped hurting.

It then turned into a tingling, numb sensation.

The bandages, which should have been soaked in blood and difficult to remove, fluttered open, revealing a body that was recovering at a visible speed, including severed limbs.

This situation can only happen once in a lifetime.

That's when the royal bloodline is activated, and the dead are brought back to life!

All injuries will disappear, and the body will be restored to its peak condition.

But that's something that only happens when someone dies completely and their bloodline is activated; it's happened out of nowhere!

It was clearly done by the very enemy with whom they had a blood feud.

The princess is numb.

Completely disregarding the fact that her body had fully recovered, her delicate skin and Linglong figure were only covered by a few inches of remaining bandages, essentially exposed to outsiders.

Apart from their red skin, the Blood Demon Royal Family members are otherwise no different from humans, especially the princess, who has a very good figure. She was only focused on being amazed, while others were feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed.

Mi Lailai hooked her finger and tossed a long coat over to the other person, covering them with it.

The princess came to her senses.

With a conflicted expression, he looked at Wang Wen and asked, "Why did you save me? Is your continent also coveting the Blood Demon Royal Family's treasure?"

Wang Wen said with a laugh, "I'm not interested in any secret treasures, I'm only interested in you people."

"A person?" the princess pondered, puzzled.

Looking down at himself, he seemed to be thinking of something, and his expression became even more complicated and conflicted.

He frowned, about to speak.

But Wang Wen continued, "How many of your members who went to the mainland to fight are left? Call them all over here, especially those who can release red mist."

The princess froze, staring blankly at Wang Wen.

Seeing that she was slow to react and had difficulty communicating, Wang Wen assumed that she was still not fully conscious after escaping death, so he simply waved his hand, lifted her up, and led the team to turn around and walk out.

The Red Fatty, who had been leading the way, knew something was wrong the moment he saw Wang Wen intervene to save someone.

Seeing that the royal princess had recovered, the two chatted amiably.

The ominous feeling in my heart grew stronger and stronger.

I knew that if things continued like this, we'd be doomed sooner or later.

We can't just sit here and wait to die!

The Red Fatty gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and said to Wang Wen with a forced smile, "Master, Master, this is all a misunderstanding! The attack on the continent was purely the royal family's willful act; those of us from other branches have always been against it!"

Wang Wen turned to look at him noncommittally.

He carefully chose his words, his eyes darting around. "Unfortunately, the royal family was too powerful for us to resist back then. Only now do we have the opportunity to severely punish these war criminals and show goodwill and sincerity to the mainland! We just didn't expect you and Her Highness the Princess to be old acquaintances; it's truly a misunderstanding! If we had known earlier that the Princess was also 'one of our own,' we would never have treated her this way!"

The princess, lifted into the air, angrily rebuked the Red Fatty: "You ungrateful, shameless scoundrel, die! Whether I live or die, I am of royal lineage and will never associate with a vermin like you!"

Looking at the angry princess, the Red Fatty put on a kind and earnest expression. "Your Highness, you really kept this from us subordinates for so long! I was wondering why you didn't accompany the royal army on its two expeditions. Turns out we all had the same idea. Sigh, why bother? Wouldn't it have been better if you had just said so? You've suffered so much injustice for nothing!"

The Blood Demon Royal Family princess, supported by an invisible energy platform, glared at the seemingly honest, Red Fatty, speechless for a long time, her face turning purple with anger.

Wang Wen and the other Tower Climber couldn't help but burst out laughing.
