My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

The Kingdom of Altona now only has three ducal families left. The other two, the Walker Dukes and the Reed Dukes, having learned from the example of the Yognor Dukes, no longer dare to rebel against the Moses family.

As a result, the Moses family gained power, and although they had not yet broken with the royal family, the royal family had no choice but to take their opinions seriously.

Christine grew up in the palace and was well aware of the undercurrents within it.

Why did the Kingdom of Altona fall so quickly?

Why was she kidnapped inside the palace?

She didn't believe that the Duke of Moses' family wasn't behind this.

But now she can only pretend not to see it, because her father is nearing the end of his life and a new king is expected to ascend the throne in the next year or two. The kingdom cannot afford any turmoil now.

Therefore, although she disliked Holmes Moses, she had no choice but to meet him.

"Let him in!"

With a creak, the palace door opened, and a man with blond hair, pale skin, and a frivolous appearance entered. He knelt on one knee a meter away from her, not bowing his head, but staring directly at Christine with undisguised admiration in his eyes, a stark contrast to Hume's previous court etiquette.

“Your Highness Christine, it’s so good to hear you’re alright! After hearing about your kidnapping, you know how heartbroken I was. I couldn’t eat or sleep. I couldn’t believe that the kingdom’s most beautiful flower had withered away like this—” Holmes Moses said passionately.

Christine couldn't listen any longer and interrupted, "What does Sir Holmes want?"

Holmes Moses stopped and looked at the most beautiful woman in the kingdom with a strange expression.

If everything had gone smoothly, this beauty would have been his possession, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, she was thwarted by a lowly commoner.

Every time he thought of this, he felt an urge to tear that lowly commoner to pieces.

However, haha~, that lowly commoner thought that with His Majesty's reward, he could rise to the top?

How naive.

That lowly commoner had no idea what awaited him ahead. Let him experience firsthand what it means to be worse than dead!

"Your Highness, from today onwards, I will be the captain of the Royal Guard Knights responsible for your safety."

Christine was taken aback, her expression changing several times. The safety of the royal family members was the responsibility of the Royal Guard Knights, who were all sons of princes and nobles.

They claim to be in charge of security, but they're really just there to build up their seniority!

Because the royal palace is the safest place in the kingdom, if the enemy could break through here, the country would be finished.

“Where is the Knight of Bray?” Christine asked.

She remembered that her safety had always been the responsibility of Bray Roberts, the vice-commander of the Royal Guard Knights. Why had this guy been replaced?

“Bray has been severely derelict in his duty because of Your Highness’s kidnapping. He has been exiled to the border garrison and will not be back for at least three years. So, Your Highness Christine, I will be responsible for your safety from now on. Rest assured, I will protect you well.”

Holmes Moses looked at Christine with enthusiasm and made a solemn promise.

Christine didn't want to look away from him; she was afraid that continuing to look at this man's burning gaze would make her vomit. So she turned her head and said coldly in a dignified voice, "Then I'll have to trouble Sir Holmes from now on. I'm tired now, you may leave."

She didn't want to spend even a minute longer with this man, especially considering his chaotic private life. The kingdom's nobles all knew that this man had built a luxurious mansion where he housed over a dozen mistresses, spending all his time there…

Holmes Moses, thinking there was plenty of time, got up, took his leave, and withdrew.

The palace returned to tranquility. After a long while, a trusted maid entered. Upon seeing her, Christine dismissed all the other maids in the palace.

"Catherine, how's it going?" Christine asked her trusted confidante.

The maid named Catherine bowed before whispering in Christine's ear, "Your Highness, it has been confirmed that the Hero will arrive in our country in five days."

And the legend is true; the hero, in just one month, has gone from an ordinary person to a peak knight, and may break through to become a Grand Knight at any moment.

Upon hearing this, a smile blossomed on Christine's beautiful face.

She had received news a few days earlier that the chief priest of the Holy Light Church of the Southern Superpower Holy Kingdom had prophesied that the world was about to face a crisis of destruction.

So they consulted ancient texts and restored the hero-summoning array that had been lost for a thousand years, and they actually succeeded in summoning a hero!

The Holy Kingdom occupies the southern part of the entire continent, unlike the north, which is divided into several kingdoms and dozens of small states.

It was founded by the Church of Holy Light, with divine right of kings. The entire nation worshipped the Goddess of Light, making it a powerful nation. It also had the most complete preservation of magical knowledge on the entire continent, which is why it was able to repair the magic circle that summoned the hero.

The "hero" is an ancient legend that has been passed down throughout the continent. Legend has it that when the world faces a devastating crisis, a hero will descend to save the world.

Whether the world will be destroyed or not, Christine neither knows nor cares.

What she cared about was that, according to legend, every hero could grow from an ordinary person into a legendary paladin in a very short time!

Paladins are ancient legends that have vanished from the entire continent; no one on the continent can reach that level now.

Not to mention paladins, even the Radiant Knights, who are below paladins, are only rumored to exist in one or two across the entire continent.

Therefore, the brave are the real potential stocks.

For such a powerful figure, prior investment is essential. According to the information Catherine obtained, in just one month since the hero was summoned, several of the continent's top beauties have already gathered around him.

Now, the hero will soon arrive in the Kingdom of Altona to retrieve the hero's armor pieces that were left behind in the northern kingdoms a thousand years ago.

Christine knew that as she grew older, she would eventually become a tool for political marriage, and if she was not mistaken, she would most likely be betrothed to Holmes Moses.

The guards protecting each princess were not chosen randomly, because this was the only opportunity for the princess to come into contact with men outside the royal family.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Holmes Moses became the captain of her royal guard at the behest of her father.

Considering the current situation, with the Moses family holding absolute power, what could be more effective and cheaper for the royal family to appease the Duke of Moses' family than marrying themselves, who are known as "the most beautiful woman in the kingdom," into the Moses family?

Although she was a princess, she had been prepared for an arranged marriage since childhood.

But if a future marriage is unavoidable!

The fate of becoming a member of a powerful man's harem cannot be changed!

So, she will choose the strongest man to marry and become a member of that strongest man's harem.

So she set her sights on that hero she had never met, the man destined to become the strongest on the continent!

Even though she already knew that the hero was surrounded by several top beauties, she was still confident in her own temperament and beauty.

Having made up her mind, Christine began planning how to meet the hero. She believed that once she met him, he would be captivated by her charm.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something and asked Catherine, "By the way, how's the other thing going?"

Catherine's expression suddenly turned grim: "Your Highness, it seems that something has happened to Blood Eye and they have gone into hiding. I have tried everything I can to find them."

Christine pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, let's deal with this later. Let that commoner live a little longer."

Chapter 500 The Treasure for Becoming a God

Christine will never forget how she humbly and desperately begged to be rescued when she was kidnapped!

That was a humiliation that would wake her up in the middle of the night!

That commoner also witnessed her nearly being defiled... all of which destined him to die.

If it weren't for the fact that her kidnapping became known throughout the nobility and the whole city;

If it weren't for her need to maintain her pure and kind persona;

She had already sent people to get rid of that lowly commoner.

Moreover, how could she not see that the commoner actually had improper thoughts about her?

For a mere commoner to have such thoughts is already an unforgivable sin.

"Okay, you go down."

"As ordered."

The palace returned to peace.

……

……

In an inconspicuous house in the outer city of Saint Valerius.

The room was dimly lit, and several figures could be vaguely seen gathered there.

Suddenly a provocative voice rang out: "Afra, I heard your mission failed! Hahaha~, the elite forces of Bloodeye couldn't even handle a mere merchant guild leader. You've completely ruined Bloodeye's reputation."

Afra glanced indifferently at her twin sister, who looked exactly like her: "No matter how bad I am, as long as I'm better than some defeated opponent, that's enough, isn't it, my dear sister Louisa?"

"You filthy woman, who's your sister? Besides, I only lost to you by half a move before. If you're so capable, let's do it again. I can't wait to slash that stinky face of yours!" Louisa roared.

She is Avra's sister, and the two have the same figure and appearance. The only difference is their hair color.

Efra is a lilac purple, a light purple.

Louisa is a deep, rich purple.

"You're welcome anytime. This time, I won't go easy on you like before."

"Pah! You think you can hold back? I'm the one who'll go all out this time!"

The others watched quietly as the two sisters tore each other apart.

Suddenly, a deep but authoritative voice rang out.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

Upon hearing this sound, Afra and Louisa immediately fell silent, and the others all looked at the dark figure that had appeared out of nowhere among them.

This is a lost projection magic technique, originally used for remote communication.

Those who can use this kind of shadow are all high-ranking members of the Blood Eye organization, with unfathomable strength. They all listened quietly.

The shadowy figure turned to Afra and Louisa: "Afra, Louisa, the organization has an important mission for you!"

The shadowy figure's voice was very serious; it was the first time Afra and Louisa had ever seen the figure so serious in their memories.

Both of them tensed up: "We guarantee to complete the mission, sir!"

“Very good. Those old fogies of the Church of Saints had a premonition that we would successfully break the seal on our Lord Demon King, so they summoned the Hero to stop us. Therefore, I want you to join the Hero’s team and assassinate the Hero at all costs.”

"A hero?!"

Everyone around was surprised.

"Is it the legend of the hero that has been passed down throughout the continent since ancient times?"

"Now that the hero has appeared, it means that we can truly break the seal on our lord!"

"Legend has it that every hero can grow into a paladin who can rival our lord within just one or two years. I wonder if that's true?"
