Wozworth Has a Lush Green Meadow on His Head
"I also think there's no problem. The Hero is incredibly charming; conquering two mere Magic Creature women is a piece of cake for him. There's no need to worry too much." Marquis Rommel's answer was even more unwavering.
Qin Chu was very satisfied with Rommel's answer, and his smile grew even brighter, "Asking one question after another seems to be a waste of time. How about I try a different approach?"
He spread his arms wide. "Anyone who has a problem with Heloise and Ieta can step forward, and we can exchange views in a friendly and frank manner."
Qin Chu's gaze swept across the area, and wherever it fell, the nobles immediately turned their eyes to the side. Not a single person met Qin Chu's gaze, and not a single person would step forward at this moment.
"Hey? Why aren't you all standing up? Stand up!"
"I swear in the name of the Goddess of Holy Light that I will never hold a grudge."
"As you all know, I am a magnanimous and generous person."
Silence reigned all around; no one dared to be the first to speak out.
Are you kidding me? Magnificent?
Does this word have anything to do with you, even a little Mana?
Everyone knows how petty you are, Hero. Karthus, the First Prince, and the Holy Son Onions are all still watching you from above.
"So it seems everyone is willing to accept Heloise and Ieta?" Qin Chu smiled broadly. "In that case, I'll thank you all on their behalf."
Meanwhile, Qin Chu continued his speech, "Everyone, I actually think this is a good thing."
"One day, when we conquer the Magic Creature's territory, those ferocious and hideous Magic Creature will naturally be eliminated. But, gentlemen, those are Snow Woman, Blood Elf, Succubus... Once captured..."
Qin Chu was just bluffing, but the eyes of a group of nobles suddenly lit up.
Snow Woman, Blood Elf, Succubus.
No one would mistake such beautiful women for Magic Creature; any one of them would be considered one in a million among humans. Moreover, the fact that they are beauties among Magic Creature makes it even more exciting.
If one day these beautiful Magic Creature were to be captured, to whom would these Magic Creature women fall?
These noble families, surely they'll always have a chance to get a share?
After all, they are men too; it's their nature.
Women accustomed to humans sometimes crave a change of pace, and it's impossible for them to have absolutely no interest in Succubus, Snow Woman, or Blood Elf— those Magic Creature beauties.
Even if someone does have doubts, they can easily pin the blame on the Hero. We're just learning from the Hero, what's wrong with that?
Given the Hero's rate of progress and strength, it seems only a matter of time before he conquers the Magic Creature's territory; this is entirely possible.
Strechy had a broad smile on his face; it seemed he could finally release the Succubus he had been keeping under his wing.
Is this the benefit the Hero was referring to?
It seems like it might actually be true.
This Hero is worthy!
Wadsworth, Augustus, and Saint Monica exchanged glances, knowing that it was impossible to get Qin Chu to give up those two Magic Creature women.
This Hero's methods were far more sophisticated than imagined.
Inside the Imperial Palace, outside the meeting room, Angelica waited quietly.
Although Angelica was a maid, she was still eligible to attend the previous banquet because of Qin Chu. However, Angelica was no longer allowed to participate in the subsequent meetings.
Antasia had already taken Heloise and Ieta back to Qin Chu's temporary palace to familiarize themselves with the Imperial City.
Violet Ekaterina had absolutely no interest in these tedious matters.
Only Angelica stayed here; she hoped to go home with her owner, which would bring her a sense of happiness.
The waiting time was agonizing, especially since the meeting seemed exceptionally long. Angelica was a little bored, so she stretched and took a leisurely stroll within her permitted area.
Everything inside the Imperial Palace was meticulously arranged; the artificial hills, springs, and vegetation were all arranged in a harmonious and pleasing manner, making it a truly delightful sight.
The air was filled with a refreshing feeling; as expected of royalty, even the interior of the Holy Church was quite different from the Imperial Palace.
Unbeknownst to her, Angelica had moved to the garden. It was quiet there, but the sound of their conversation drifted into Angelica ears:
"I heard he's back."
"This time, we must kill him. We absolutely cannot let him continue to live in this world."
There were two women, and their voices were very faint. Only Angelica, whose strength was quite good, could barely hear a little of them.
Angelica frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.
Even within the Imperial Palace, such deceit and treachery were rampant.
Rather, it is precisely because of their proximity to the center of power that this intrigue and backstabbing become all the more intense.
The suspicion between the emperor and his princes, the conflicts among the princes vying for the throne, the clashes among the princesses over who would be favored... all of this was for the sake of power.
Power can drive people mad.
In their pursuit of power, they tread carefully, speak cautiously, and proceed with extreme caution. They plant countless spies among their competitors, and their own surroundings are also filled with the eyes of others.
They lived in a giant cage, struggling wearily and frantically.
She had once lived in such an environment herself, and was a failure at that... But now none of that mattered to her; all she had to do was be a good little maid to her master.
Angelica smiled sweetly, stretched her arms slightly, and silently retreated. Whatever the two women hiding in the flower bushes were up to was none of her business; she had no intention of getting involved in this mess.
But at that moment, Angelica suddenly stopped.
"Following the will of the Lord of Pleasure, the Skyvault Continent has no need for any Hero!"
In an instant, Angelica run down her spine.
Lord of Pleasure?
Isn't that the Evil God worshipped by the Bliss Witch Coven?
Could it be that there are members of the Bliss Witch Coven inside this Imperial Palace?

Chapter 273 Wadsworth's Green Grassland (3)
The Bliss Witch Coven!
Angelica knew very well what kind of organization it was.
They are indulgent and depraved, beautiful yet covered in sharp thorns; they are like a poisoned needle that will mercilessly pierce the throat of its target.
The last time members of the Bliss Witch Coven attempted to assassinate their master, they even impersonated her, which made Angelica even more disgusted with this filthy organization.
However, Angelica never imagined that this organization would be so terrifying; they had even infiltrated the Imperial Palace... This was one of the most heavily guarded places on the entire Skyvault Continent, yet it had been corrupted by the Bliss Witch Coven.
What Angelica found even more unbearable was that the two women seemed to be plotting to murder their master.
Her once gentle eyes suddenly turned cold and ruthless, and she stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave. Her master was the most important person in her world, and even if she died, Angelica would never allow anyone to harm her master, not a single person.
Her breath almost stopped for a moment. She suppressed her heartbeat to the lowest point and completely suppressed the fluctuations of Magic Power in her body, like a silent ghost chasing after the faintest, almost imperceptible sound in the air.
The Imperial Palace gardens are a bit too elaborate.
Angelica kept a low profile as she moved through the flowers.
After a long while, Angelica finally discovered that, just below a pavilion on the right side of the flower bushes, sat two women dressed in magnificent gowns. From their clothing and accessories, it was clear that these two women were of very high status.
Perhaps knowing that their residence was teeming with spies, the two women deliberately chose a secluded garden to discuss their plans. With several princes in the Imperial Palace vying for the throne and courting powerful nobles, no one had the time to come to this place.
The Emperor is currently in a meeting with the Hero, Wadsworth, Saint Monica, and some high-ranking nobles in the conference room and will not be present here.
Meanwhile, the princesses and other noblewomen of Wadsworth had already found out the situation and were taking this opportunity to host private parties for the ladies and young women they were close to.
Therefore, this place is absolutely safe.
The two women had no idea that a vacant maid would wander over there.
Angelica closer and closer, and finally she could see the faces of the two women clearly.
In that instant, Angelica felt as if a muffled thunderclap had suddenly resounded in her mind.
She recognized the two women.
Sharon Drys!
Angela Goethe!
Angelica chill run down her spine; these two women...
She's the Princess of Wadsworth.
Moreover, she is Wadsworth's most favored princess recently.
Sharon Delaiz was the mother of the nineteenth prince, and Angela Goethe was the mother of the twenty-third prince. Because they had married Wadsworth as soon as they came of age, and because they lived in extremely privileged circumstances and took good care of themselves, although they had both given birth to princes, the years had left almost no trace on these two women.
Their skin remained as delicate as a young girl's, their figures graceful yet mature. The tenderness of a young girl and the charm of a mature woman were perfectly blended in the two women. Coupled with their elegant and noble appearance after being dressed up, they had an amazing allure to the opposite sex.
Although Angelica knew that the Bliss Witch Coven extremely terrifying, she still didn't expect that even the emperor's queen was a member of the Bliss Witch Coven.
What about the princesses? And the princes' wives?
The entire Imperial Palace may have already been infiltrated and riddled with holes by the Bliss Witch Coven.
Considering the indulgence and depravity of the Bliss Witch Coven, wouldn't Wadsworth's head already be covered in greenery?
A flurry of thoughts raced through Angelica's mind in an instant. She carefully concealed herself, not wanting to miss a single detail.
She wanted to know exactly how these two women planned to deal with their master, and whether there were any other members besides these two women.
Angelica was not unaware that staying here was dangerous. The member of the Bliss Witch Coven who was in the palace last time, although not as high-ranking as Angelica, would still be difficult for Angelica to deal with if she were to be ambushed.
These two princesses hold a higher position in the Bliss Witch Coven than the previous assassins, and their strength may also be greater. Once their presence is detected, their lives could be instantly threatened.
However, the more she knows, the less danger her master might encounter.
Angelica was willing to take risks for her master.
Of course, Angelica also didn't want to be separated from her master forever. She hadn't enjoyed enough of her master's love yet, and she hoped that she could stay by her master's side forever and never be separated from him.
Taking a deep breath, Angelica glanced discreetly at her powers.
Angelica was willing to take a gamble for her master.
The two women under the pavilion were unaware that Angelica was eavesdropping on their conversation, and they continued to discuss it in hushed tones.
It was clear that Sharon Delaiz held a higher position in the Witches' Association. Angela Goethe listened quietly to Sharon's arrangements.
"The implication is that this time, we'll use Wadsworth's help to eliminate the Hero."
"Angela, you are young and beautiful, and Witches' Association for so long, you are skilled in seduction. With Qin Chu's lustful nature, you can easily lure him in with just a little temptation."
"When you lure Qin Chu, I will inform Wadsworth. If you disguise yourself well, Wadsworth will see the scene of you being raped by Qin Chu."
"Wadsworth is a rough and impulsive man. He would definitely not be able to resist seeing such a scene. In his anger, he would not even look at who the man was and would immediately launch an attack. Although Qin Chu is very strong, he is definitely no match for Wadsworth."
"With one punch, Qin Chu would probably be blasted into mincemeat."
Sharon wore a cold smile. They had followed Wadsworth for many years and knew very well what kind of guy Wadsworth was.
Wadsworth was extremely selfish and cold-hearted. To Wadsworth, the queens in his harem were nothing more than tools for venting his Desire and producing royal offspring; he had almost no feelings for them.
However, on the other hand, Wadsworth is extremely possessive.
He would not allow his woman to be touched by anyone else.
Such things have happened before. Once, Wadsworth, suspecting a queen of having an affair with a guard, executed both without any evidence. Such a crude man, if not for his own immense power, would never have been able to secure the throne.
Angela's expression was somewhat gloomy. She knew, of course, that as one of the executors of this plan, she also faced a huge threat. In his rage, Wadsworth might very well kill her as well.
Seemingly sensing Angela's worry, Sharon suddenly smiled, her fair fingers gently gliding across Angela's pretty face. Where her fingertips brushed, it felt as if an electric current ran through her, causing Angela's body to tremble slightly and her cheeks to flush.
"Angela, don't worry."
"You'll be absolutely fine, understand?"
"The great Lord of Pleasure will surely protect his most faithful followers."
"Moreover, if we succeed, Wadsworth will be burdened with a heavy crime for murdering the Hero. Augustus and Saint Monica will definitely not let this opportunity pass, and they will surely unite the best people on the continent to eliminate Wadsworth. At that time, we will be free!"
Sharon's voice carried a captivating allure, and Angela's breathing seemed to quicken. Freedom excited Angela, and the title of "Lord of Pleasure" made her eyes flash with a mad light.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and a snicker appeared on her face.
A pair of delicate, white hands rested on her chest, her little fingers and thumbs touching, and a sound like a chant escaped from her pink lips:
