"Peerless Assassin"

Draped in a cloak styled after the god Medjed, Nitocris activated Medjed's Invisibility.

Very quickly, her figure faded, then vanished before Ye Ting and Medjed.

It was as though she had been a ghost all along.

This bizarre scene took place in the royal palace's imperial garden, yet none of the palace maids witnessed it.

The reason was simple.

Even before Nitocris had prepared to set out, Ye Ting had used magic to shroud the entire palace.

That night, neither the maids nor the guards in the palace would remember anything that had happened there.

Under the effects of Ye Ting's wide-area suggestion spell, these mortals' minds had become utterly dazed.

They could still act on instinct, working as usual when they needed to work and patrolling when they needed to patrol.

But in truth, not one of them was fully conscious. Whatever happened in the palace that night, they would never know.

And once the night had passed, if outsiders asked them about the situation in the palace, their only answer would be that everything was normal.

This was precisely how Ye Ting intended to clear Nitocris of any outward suspicion after she took her revenge.

As for the true suspicion, there was no way to wash that away.

In political intrigue, there was a simple and crude way to determine the mastermind behind any conspiracy.

Just look at who benefited from it—there was an eighty percent chance that person was the Blackhand behind the scenes.

Without question, after Nitocris carried out her revenge, even if there was no evidence that the Pharaoh herself was the murderer, most of the suspicion would still fall upon her.

Even so, that was enough for Ye Ting and Nitocris.

Clearing away surface-level suspicion was mainly for the benefit of the ignorant masses.
