Chapter 464

Few ordinary people would be willing to support the Royal Court's forces; they would only want to place Theresis on the new throne!

And they, these Royal Court, will forever be remembered as the shame of the Sarkaz.

Therefore, Theresa's strong stance at this moment made everyone else hesitate.

Their coercion seemed so ridiculous and meaningless at this moment.

They were like the child who never grew up in the family, and no matter how much they threatened them, they could not shake Theresa's position and status as the head of the family.

Even Dukale's expression turned slightly grim.

But he still pretended to be calm.

Do you think I wouldn't do that?

"You're welcome to give it a try."

Lamaline stood to one side.

She responded to Dukale's retort with calm words, slowly raising the unique ring in her hand.

Its bloodline resonates with it...

Upon seeing this, Dukale's brow twitched.

The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly tense.

All it takes to start a battle is a spark!

But at that moment, Dukale remained silent.

He exhaled, turned around, and chose to leave.

Dukale's closest troupes quickly caught up with their lord.

The other people sent by the Royal Court hesitated for a moment, then bowed to the Demon King and left.

Only Quaesitura, after smiling and nodding to the Demon King, slowly left.

He neither stayed nor went with Dukale.

Instead, it's about someone continuing their journey in an unknown direction.

This struggle gradually came to an end in such a dismal fashion.

Theresa was standing nearby, also went limp and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lamaline standing nearby, helped her up, though her face showed some concern.

Are you alright?

"Fine."

Theresa shook her head.

Although her earlier display of authority contained elements of her true feelings, it was mostly an act.

After all, if Dukale really takes action, the most likely outcome is that the entire Kazdel will be torn apart as a result.

She didn't want to see that scene.

But if she really backs down, she will still be prevented from implementing other policies in the future.

Therefore, she had to be strong.

The price of this resilience was that she had to put her life in danger.

Theresis naturally did not want this situation to occur.

But he also knew that this was the only option left for them.

Only after everyone else had completely left did Theresa look at the ground in confusion.

"So... did you make this?"

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Theresa felt a pang of emotion.

However, Theresis shook her head.

"We were all inside the Demon King's Castle just now, so it's unlikely that any one of us did it... But Warfarin, she might know something, but..."

Theresis didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

The other party possesses such terrifying abilities, yet they don't actively seek to join Theresa's side. Clearly, they may not actually approve of Theresa's actions.

Seeking out the other person doesn't guarantee their support.

Only...

"Expressing gratitude is still necessary."

After a moment of silence, Theresa looked up and made her judgment.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This attack on Theresa by the Royal Court ultimately failed.

However, both sides tacitly refrained from publicizing the incident, instead pretending it had never happened.

Theresa subsequently attempted to weaken the Royal Court's power several more times, but the Royal Court did not react in any way.

But Maria guessed that this matter was destined not to end so simply.

Since there was a first time, there will naturally be a second and a third.

As long as Dukale and the others are alive, their resentment towards Theresa will eventually turn into hostile forces.

One failure is merely a failure of the fuse.

Next time, they had a better excuse, a better trigger.

The problem will eventually resurface...

The only question is when all of this will erupt.

Meanwhile, Maria also encountered her own troubles.

She's being watched.

"Um... that..."

The young intern girl blocked Maria at the doorway, her face flushed, her breath coming in gasps, and her wide eyes gleaming with a bright yet aggrieved light.

Even so, she still stared stubbornly at Maria.

She looked like a pitiful woman who had been seduced and then abandoned.

I need an answer!

She spoke, her voice firm.

Maria, however, seemed to have a headache.

The Banshees who received medical treatment last time was eventually sent to a legitimate medical facility. However, after regaining consciousness, she seemed to have lost her memory of that period of time.

This made the intern girl very strange.

She clearly heard that at that time the Banshees addressed Maria as 'Your Highness'.

This is not a title that just any ordinary important person can receive.

Can...

Although they are very similar, Maria shouldn't be Banshees, right?

If I had to say something...

Maria seems to be closer to the Blood Demon...

This question has been troubling the girl, making her restless and itchy.

She desperately wanted to know the final result.

Maria, however, seemed somewhat hesitant.

She had promised Warfarin that she wouldn't easily reveal her identity.

How should she answer the girl's question?

Yes, I am the Banshees Consort, now the wife of the Banshees Lord. A hundred years ago, I single-handedly killed 400,000 Allied Forces, then fell into a coma until I just woke up last year. Upon returning, I didn't seek out anyone else, but instead stayed with Warfarin.

Is this reasonable?!

So in the past, Maria would either avoid the girl's questions or dodge them.

This time, however, the girl seemed determined to get an answer from Maria.

This made Maria rub her temples in exasperation.

She took a few steps back, pondering how to evade this sneak attack.

But the girl became ruthless.

Regardless, this time, I absolutely must know the answer!

Thinking of this, she took a few angry steps, trying to corner Maria.

But clearly, Maria is not the kind of person who can be easily controlled.

With a slight sway of her feet, she turned around and dodged the girl's attack.

After watching the girl almost fall to the ground, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed the girl by the back of her collar.

With a whoosh, the girl spun around in the air a few times before landing on the soft bed...

It also has a slight scent of incense...

"Huh?"

The girl blinked.

Maria took a few steps back and stood quietly in the doorway.

"You should calm down first."

Seeing the girl still trying to catch up with her, Maria shook her head slightly and casually closed the door.

Meanwhile, Warfarin, who had just returned, also had a subtle expression on her face.

"Are you asking me again?"

"... Um."

"You've had a tough time too."

Warfarin spoke, but her words were full of schadenfreude towards Maria.

You finally have something you can't handle, right?

"... What's the situation outside?"

Maria didn't give Warfarin a chance to continue laughing at her; her eyes flickered slightly as she asked another question.

Warfarin simply shrugged.

"What else can happen? After the Royal Court suffered a loss last time, it quieted down on its own, and Theresa took this opportunity to expand her influence... In the end, nothing can be done here."

"Um."

Maria paused for a few moments, seemingly puzzled.

And it was at this moment...

The long-lost sound slowly drifted out.

"Did you hear that, Hunter?"

End of 1031.

The war between the four outer nations has finally come to an end, while the storm within Kazdel has gradually reached its limit.

Ultimately, disaster struck once again.

But this time is different.
