Amber still believed in her own values. Even if they were distorted, they couldn't be too distorted. At least they were much better than the nobles in that world.

【Abbrana: I know, ah... wait for my news! 】

Chapter 1: Princess Abbrana.

After closing the chat group, Abrana looked around again.

She bought herself an intermediate ID card before entering. Although the place she was in at this time could not be called luxurious, it was still considered wealthy.

The reason why she was born here was because her identity at that time was the concubine's daughter of the emperor of the empire, or even an illegitimate daughter.

Her mother's encounter with the Emperor originated from a lost blood imperial artifact. Drinking the blood would gain the power of the dragon seed. As the most powerful imperial artifact since the founding of the country, it should have served as the strength of the empire to protect it. However, because this imperial artifact can only be inherited through blood after drinking, it will gradually weaken as the blood is passed on.

Coupled with wars and conspiracies, this imperial weapon was eventually completely lost.

Not long after giving birth to her, her mother passed away because she could not bear the power of her bloodline, but the daughter she left behind was born with dragon horns and a dragon tail.

This strange thing frightened the midwife and shocked the emperor.

From birth, Abrana showed intelligence and physique that were not like those of an ordinary child. The strength that was enough to smash trees with her fists at the age of three and easily break steel bars at the age of six seemed to be telling people that the former top imperial weapon holder had returned.

Worried that Abrana's presence would affect the child, the queen wanted to demote her to a remote place. The minister was about to retire. Although Abrana was an illegitimate daughter, the old emperor believed that she would sooner or later become a helper of the empire and there was no need to offend her, so he simply entrusted her to the minister for care with good food and clothing. In order to appease the queen's resentment, he also stripped Abrana of her qualification to inherit the throne.

From then on, although she was still a princess, she was more like an aristocrat without a title. Very few people knew of her identity as a princess. Because she had always lived in the minister's mansion, many people regarded her as the minister's illegitimate daughter who was born in his old age.

Twelve years had passed since she first came here. During this period, the emperor died suddenly from overwork. The empress was depressed by the emperor's death and passed away not long after.

After the deaths of the two supreme rulers of the empire, a young bastard named Ernest, with his ruthless tactics, helped a young bastard ascend the throne. He was then appointed a minister by the young emperor, and began his inhumane rule of debauchery and extravagance.

Anyone who went against his opinion would be framed and killed. The increase in taxes made the people of the entire country live in misery. Corruption and crime became the daily routine of officials. The entire huge empire changed in just two years.

Eugene, a former minister, returned to the imperial capital because he was angry at Ernest's political tactics.

The time when Abrana arrives is also the time when he is about to return after leaving.

Unlike the primary identity card used by Xiadie, the intermediate identity card will simulate the user's past identity based on her personality and behavior, and flash quickly in the user's mind like a movie.

If Abrana remembered correctly, this former minister, or her adoptive father, was the character in the original work who was intercepted and killed by the three beast warriors on his way back.

Not only was he killed, but even his daughter, who was worried about his safety and personally served as his guard, had her face brutally peeled off and died suddenly from the pain she could not bear.

Thinking of this, Abbrana's purple eyes turned completely cold.

The intermediate identity card will be simulated and supplemented according to her personality and behavior. With Abrana's understanding of the plot, she has naturally made preparations in advance. At this time, the guards around Eugene seem to be ordinary people, but this is just the dead fire she left in them that has not yet been ignited.

The moment they are killed, the dead fire takes over their lives.

Of course, the guards accepted Abara's deathfire knowing this.

Like master, like servant. Eugene lived a life of integrity and honesty, so his guards naturally had the same character. When they knew that something might go wrong on this journey, they were naturally willing to accept the insurance that Abara had provided them.

Knowing the danger of the Three Beast Warriors, she did not hesitate to use her strength and gave the captain of the guard the strength equivalent to that of an imperial weapon user. Among the Three Beast Warriors, Niu's frontal combat power was not strong. Although she had an imperial weapon with good auxiliary ability, her soul was not affected by voice control.

Liva's strength is not weak, but there is no water on the way back, and his threat will be greatly reduced without his imperial weapon.

This leaves Daidas as the only one left to engage in direct combat.

In the original work, he was killed instantly by Brand, but that was not because he was weak. The three beast warriors who could be recruited as personal guards by Esdeath could not be weak. It was simply because Brand was too strong.

The captain of the guard naturally couldn't be as strong as Brand, but given the immortality of souls, he was able to deal with these three beast warriors.

As for why Abbrana didn't go in person...

In memory, it was Eugene who sternly stopped Aburana from accompanying him.

Not many people know Abrana's identity, but the top leaders of the empire are all aware of it. At this juncture when the empire is crumbling, many people are willing to take a gamble on Abrana and try to overthrow the current emperor and ministers.

Eugene is not someone who cannot bear the shedding of blood. He knows that sometimes change requires blood as a backdrop, but... that is when there is no other way.

Before trying, he didn't want Abrana's hands to be stained with blood, nor did he want the empire to face a major reshuffle that it might not be able to withstand.

That's why he refused to bring Abrana back to the imperial capital at this time.

In fact, Abrana could understand Eugene's thoughts, but she knew better than Eugene how dark the imperial capital was at the moment. It was several times darker than the Toyokawa family. After being away from the center of power for so long, Eugene's understanding of the imperial power structure had become outdated.

If you get in their way, they will really kill you.

Shaking her head, Abrana fully understood the current situation. She stood up from the desk in the bedroom and walked out of the room.

Although the guards can handle it, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems over time. It is safer to go and provide support at this time.

This assassination will surely make Eugene understand the extent of the corruption of the empire.

Let him face the reality, and let Abbrana do whatever she wants without any scruples.

"Second miss."

The maid at the door bowed to her respectfully.

"Go and prepare the carriage."

Abara's actions did not pause at all because of her voice. Although Eugene told Abara to stay at home and wait for news, the maid did not dissuade Abara from her order.

They respected Minister Eugene and Miss Theresa, but after Abrana took over the management of the mansion and territory, they were conquered by this second young lady, whose every word and action exuded incredible charm.

That natural-born leader's temperament and miraculous means of resurrection, coupled with benevolent and precise management skills, such a master would be hard for any servant to refuse, right?

Chapter 2 The corpse...stood up.

"This village also..."

On the way back to Dongling City, Eugene had passed by the village for the umpteenth time.

He had seen many villages that were so dilapidated that there were almost no people, but every time he saw one, he felt heartbroken and angry.

"It's obvious that the people are the foundation of the country..."

In the carriage, Eugene, who was wearing a winter coat and had no decent accessories on his body, had tears in his eyes. This trip to the imperial capital could almost be said to have been fruitless. There were far fewer people with aspirations for good than he had imagined. There were less than five of them in the entire court.

This was a hopeless isolation that left Eugene helpless.

They simply didn't have enough voice and power to make changes in the empire. Let alone compete with Ernest, they couldn't even make a splash.

The blonde girl sitting next to him felt pained seeing her father so sad, but in order to avoid suspicion, Eugene had not let her learn any political matters after his retirement, and even the management of the territory was handed over to Abrana.

The only thing Treia could show off was her martial arts skills, which were no less powerful than the captain of the guards.

Despite this, she still said with relief: "I think a father who can return to a nest like the imperial capital with the people in his heart is very great!"

However, Eugene was feeling gloomy at the moment, and it was not so easy to comfort him: "Now is not the time to play it safe. For the sake of the empire, I must fight that minister to the end."

At this point, he knew he had to bring Abbrana to the imperial capital.

Those officials who obeyed the ministers were just like the ministers, cunning and treacherous ministers who put profit above all else. When the profit was huge enough, it was not impossible for them to turn around and compete with the ministers. It just so happened that he went to the imperial capital more to observe the situation this time and did not show any inclination.

This way, they won't be overly wary of me and will probably treat me as a fellow who wants to get a piece of the pie from the current emperor.

"Don't worry! I learned this martial art precisely for my father's safety!"

Theresa raised the spear in her hand confidently. When she talked about her expertise and favorite areas, she couldn't help but reveal her girlish innocence, which finally made Eugene smile.

"Hahaha, my daughter is so brave, and I'm proud of her as a father."

He touched his beard. He had a daughter in his old age, and Treia was almost all his pride over the years.

But after laughing, he continued, "But don't forget, protecting Her Highness Abrana is more important than me. She is the only hope for changing the empire."

Theresa naturally knew the identity of Princess Abrana. She had complicated feelings towards this princess who was four years younger than her and whom she had watched grow up.

There is both the love of an older sister for her younger sister and the awe of her gradually growing into a qualified leader.

Just when the two of them felt a little relieved, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"This is?"

Eugene's face was filled with anger again. "How many times has this happened? Even if he's the deputy governor of the imperial capital, there shouldn't be so many bandits, right?"

Theresa was also dissatisfied. Her father had just become happy when someone came to block their way. But when she lifted the curtain, she saw a situation that made the father and daughter stunned.

It wasn't a gang of robbers that stopped the car, but only three people.

There were more than 20 people in their convoy, and except for the father and daughter, all of them were guards. It seemed that such a convoy could not be taken down by three people. Moreover, the people on the opposite side were well-dressed and did not look like bandits.

Something is wrong...very wrong!

"Father……"

Theresa gritted her teeth.

"Don't act rashly, Theresa!"

Eugene also vaguely realized what was happening. One of the three people opposite him was definitely an imperial weapon user, or... all three.

But if that's the case, it means that the other party is one of Esdeath's three beast warriors... Even among the imperial weapon users, they are considered to be quite powerful.

"Master! Miss! Get out of here quickly!"

The captain of the guard led everyone to stand in front of the carriage and untied the horses and the carriage.

Eugene didn't want to abandon them, but he knew better than ever that he had to live up to their determination to die. He had to escape even if he had to be exhausted. This was the best way to repay their faith.

"I'm with you..."

"Tereya!"

Theresa, who was about to fight to the death, was interrupted by Eugene before she could finish her words. She turned around in shock, noticed her father's painful expression, and fell silent.

"Father...! Get on the horse!"

Knowing that this was not the time to be willful, Theresa said no more. She took the reins and helped Eugene onto the horse, then jumped on and followed.

"Hahaha, they still want to escape, Daidas."

Seeing the actions of the convoy in front, Niu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Daidas's imperial weapon, the two large axes, has the ability to chase and kill the enemy. No matter where the enemy runs to, as long as Daidas still has the strength, he will pursue the target endlessly.

"Quick action, excellent judgment."

As a former general, Liva expressed admiration for the professionalism of the guards in front of him. They were obviously a group of ordinary people who had never been to the battlefield, but they had such strong discipline.

I don't know how they trained.

However, no matter how outstanding they are, they are just a group of ordinary people.

"Daidas."

Liva looked at the muscular man beside him.

"Is it finally time to go? I can't wait to accumulate more experience points."

The muscular man chuckled, then rushed towards the group of guards and cut the guard in front of him in half at a speed that the guards could not catch up.

Seven people died in the blink of an eye. The loss of one-third of the manpower in an instant made all the guards terrified but also secretly feel relieved.

fine……

Fortunately, they accepted the second lady's 'gift' before coming out.

All the guards were killed in two breaths. Even the captain of the guards was powerless to fight back against this strength beyond that of ordinary humans. But just when Daidas was planning to continue to increase his experience points and complete the task by the way, he suddenly saw a purple flame burning on the ground.

“What’s going on…?”

The sudden strange phenomenon confused Daidas, but the scorching temperature forced him to take a few steps back from the corpse.

“What’s going on…?”

This time it was Treia who spoke, who had originally planned to dismount and cover her father's escape.

Liva looked at the bodies burning on the ground and felt an uneasy premonition in his heart.

"Quickly eliminate the target! Then retreat immediately!"

As he urged, he drew his sword from his waist and rushed straight towards Eugene and his daughter.

However, the soldier who should have died suddenly stretched out his arm and stabbed the spear in the direction of Liva's advance.

Liva had to stop and looked at the corpse with wide eyes.

"The corpse... stood up?"
