The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes as the nobleman roared. Marginus, seated in his chair, stared at the woman before him, took out his notebook, and made a mark. "Erase her name."

"The king and princess have not yet found evidence of your cooperation with the dark elves. I am here on private matters."

Upon learning from the girl that she hadn't been discovered, the noblewoman showed no sign of relaxing, raising her sword at her: "What do you want?"

"I already said it's a private matter."

After sliding the scissors a few times, Maginus finally got to the point: "Do you remember the Battle of Nesery five or six years ago? I came here for that very reason. You are the first one from the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum."

The Battle of Nessereth, the Child of Slaughter, Maginos...

The fear that the nobles had suppressed after learning that the divine child had been captured resurfaced in their memories with Maginus's casual question, giving them goosebumps.

She looked at the white-haired girl "Ilsis" in front of her, but was surprised to find that Ilsis's hair began to turn red, and her face twisted and reassembled like an evil spirit.

"impossible!!"

The noblewoman screamed in terror and turned to run away, but the sharp spikes made of scarlet crystals pierced her chest in an instant.

“I told you, you’re the first one.”

The spikes shattered, and the noblewoman's body turned to dust. Maginos stretched languidly, feeling a great sense of satisfaction as he watched her panic and fear.

The girl opened the window and looked up at the sky. It was still early, so she could continue looking for the others.

With the scissors tossed aside, Maginus wandered the streets in the night, following the old intelligence given to her by Hyannis, and went one after another to find the enemies she needed to deal with.

Having dealt with the fifth noble family, and strolling towards the sixth, Yi Lingyi began to think, "Jiu Si Yuan" Maginus suddenly stopped. Some creatures with strong vitality were gathered in the alley, seemingly discussing something in secret.

Everyone was carrying bottles of liquor, hiding here to drink instead of going to a pub. The girl originally had no intention of meddling, but her keen hearing allowed her to hear something important. Words like "Bloodstained Society" and "Royal Family" made her smile.

Well, the Bloodstained Society has gotten involved too. I wonder who invited them.

Emerging from the alley, her still-white hair made her quite conspicuous in the darkness, and she made no attempt to hide it.

The Bloodstained Mercenaries immediately noticed Maginus. They had no intention of talking to her; their first reaction was to kill anyone who overheard the conversation, regardless of their identity.

However, just as the group reached for their weapons, Maginus vanished before their very eyes. When he reappeared, he was behind them. Five of the six men were dead, leaving only the last one to fall to the ground, groaning as all four of his limbs were severed.

With his spiritual blade shattered, Maginus patted his body to relieve his pain, simultaneously unleashing his fear and killing auras, the pressure landing directly on his mind.

"Tell me, what are you Bloodstained Society doing here?"

Having extracted the information, Maginus crushed his head, intending to explain everything to Kexia when she returned.

These guys are peripheral members of the Bloodstained Society. It's said that someone has raised a large sum of money for the Bloodstained Society, and they might be planning to take action against Kersia or the royal nobles.

Could my danger come from the Bloodstained Society? If it's just a high-ranking member, I can easily escape, right?

Without learning the exact location of the Bloodstained Society from the outsiders, Maginus couldn't very well go looking for it, lest she stumble upon other unrelated factions.

Let's keep killing.

Having made up her mind, Maginus left behind a pile of ashes. No one knew what had happened in the alley. Even the Bloodstained Guild members would only assume that a few of the outer guards had simply failed in their attempts to kill someone and had been killed.

Chapter 423 Who is stronger?

On the third day after her return, Kishia finally met with everyone again. Her demeanor had changed a lot. Her keen inner senses could detect that while the princess appeared melancholy and sad on the surface, she was actually strong underneath, as if she was prepared to deal with any bad things.

Upon her return, she also brought everyone a major announcement: in less than five days, she would officially take over the crown and become the Queen of the Kingdom of Julan.

This was certainly good news for the adventurers in the team, but not for Kxia, as it meant her father was about to die.

The half-elf princess quickly issued missions to her group members. Receiving missions meant they were free to move around. The adventurers, who hadn't yet adjusted their mindset, immediately sprang into action and ran out happily.

"Is it alright to let them go out?"

Maginus asked casually, and Kercia shook her head, then asked for another favor: "Ilsis, could you help extend my father's time?"

Looking at Kxia's hopeful eyes, the girl didn't jump to conclusions: "Take me to see her first. We need to see her first. I also have important information to tell you."

Upon learning that the Bloodstained Society would be sending powerful assassins to the Kingdom of Chrysanthemum, Kexia clenched her fist and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Upon arriving at the palace, Maginus saw Hyanissa with dazed eyes, and Euryth was also there.

The curse had now devoured almost all of his life force, even eroding the most vital part of his brain.

Most importantly, his soul is almost completely consumed, and there is really no hope left. Even if he supplies himself with life force and spiritual energy, it can only give him a brief respite and allow him to hold on for a few more days.

"How about it?"

"It can only be delayed until you ascend the throne."

Maginus spoke very honestly, gesturing for Kersha and Brian to move away, and placed his hand on the king's head, infusing it with as much life force and soul energy as possible.

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

The moment the energy was poured in, Haianlis, who was lying on the bed, regained his senses and couldn't help but scream. The frenzied curses manifested on his body again, and sharp claws pounced straight at Maginus.

Orish immediately activated magic to cleanse it, and with the combined efforts of both sides, Haianlisa regained her high-level state.

Feeling the strong version of himself from his memories once again, he clenched his fists and couldn't help but chuckle, picking up Kxia and looking at her with tender eyes.

"Your Majesty, you have 10 days left to live. It would be best to finish everything within these 10 days."

"Don't worry, I know, but I'll leave my daughter in your care from now on."

"I can't guarantee it, but I won't bring disaster to your country."

She repeated herself to Hailianlisa, then left the palace. As she walked along the road, she noticed that the citizens were gradually becoming busier, presumably because they had received news that a new king was about to ascend the throne.

"Alas, these are turbulent times. His Majesty the King is actually changing his ruler. I wonder what will happen to us next."

"So many noble lords have died, could it be because His Majesty wants to ensure the success of the next emperor...?"

"Ahem, let's not talk about state affairs. Speaking of Prince Keshia, I remember seeing him from afar before."

"Isn't that princess always out on the street with her guards?"

"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember."

The change of the throne is not that important to ordinary people; they are more concerned about what they will eat tomorrow. Unless the successor brings them some tangible benefits, it will probably not be remembered.

After discussing for a while, they began to talk about how to make more money by taking advantage of the new king's ascension to the throne. Maginus continued walking forward, listening carefully to the many words being spoken, trying to find useful information.

The nobles, drow, and the Bloodstained Society might cause trouble during the coronation ceremony. According to the original plan, the Orchid Forest should help, along with the royal guards.

Now, the king has successfully held out until her return, and thanks to the efforts of Maginus and Eurasia, he will live for another 10 days, which is more than enough to survive the coronation ceremony.

At the same time, the news of his recovery was not leaked, so he could use Haianlisa as his last trump card.

Surely there won't be any other issues with two higher-level units, right?

As Maginus thought this, the shadow of the prophecy still lingered in her heart.

Now, unless she encounters a situation where she is truly about to die, she is really worried, and she has come to understand how painful it is for those who know the prophecy.

"She's dead? There were other nobles who died on the same day as her? Investigate the connections between them; it shouldn't be targeting us."

In a certain manor, upon hearing her subordinate's report, the long-legged woman immediately dispatched more people to gather intelligence, while she herself began to find others to supplement the information.

He got up and walked into the extremely secluded basement. All six walls of the room were covered with incantations that blocked magical fluctuations. In the center of the room, a huge magic circle slowly rotated, constantly emanating a chaotic aura of a bottomless abyss.

After removing her silk robe, the woman had an enormous spider tattooed on her body, which was even moving around on her skin.

As she dripped a drop of blood into the magic circle, the woman whispered an invocation to some demons of the bottomless abyss, signaling them to prepare.

After doing all this, she opened the shrine after taking a bath, and there was a statue of the Spider Queen enshrined there.

Maginot did indeed deal with the Dark Elves, but she also had followers among humans.

"My lord, the latest intelligence is that Kshia will officially ascend to the throne in four days."

As she prayed silently, the voices of her subordinates sounded outside the door. She did not respond, focusing on praying to the Spider Queen. Only after the prayer ceremony was completely finished did she stand up, get dressed, and go outside.

Will the Bloodstained Society be able to get here?

Another person emerged from the shadows, looking at the woman with wary and fearful eyes. He was clearly a member of the Bloodstained Society: "Okay, don't worry, you paid a high price, and we don't want to offend the person behind you."

Everyone knows that the Spider Queen is petty. If you really offend K, the Bloodstained Society will definitely be in endless trouble. Since you've taken the money, you might as well do a better job.

"How many people can you send?"

"One high-level, about fifteen mid-level, maybe a little less."

"Hiss...that should be enough."

The woman nodded slightly, glanced at the assassin who, despite wearing a mask, still exuded a certain heroic air, and licked her lips, revealing a seductive smile: "So, how about we play a game?"

"No thanks, I'm not interested in your type."

The assassin said in a low voice, then disappeared back into the darkness.

Having confirmed that the Bloodstained Society members had left, the Spider Queen's followers turned their gaze to their subordinates:

"Go tell those nobles to prepare their troops; we will launch an attack during the coronation ceremony."

Chapter 424 Let's Fight!

Two days before the coronation ceremony, Maginot, who was searching for her enemies in the streets, stopped and turned to look at a manor that had nothing to do with her.

There was life force moving neatly inside; the owner of this manor seemed to be deploying troops. Doing such a thing at such a sensitive time gave the girl reason to suspect that he and the dark elves were on the same side.

After walking around, Maginus discovered more than one case: under the cover of night, some nobles with small private armies were talking to their soldiers, probably some kind of pre-battle mobilization.

With this important message in mind, Maginus felt it best to inform Kercia, even though she might already know through spies.

Upon entering the palace, the young woman found Ksia, who was reading with the king, and told the king and the next queen what she had learned. Haianlisa was not surprised:

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip. I know about this matter and I also want to take advantage of the succession ceremony to lure out the rebels and the drow hiding in the shadows. Since a battle is inevitable, we might as well put everything out in the open. After all, we can't compete with the drow elves in terms of intrigue."

The Kingdom of Chrysanthemum is a half-elf kingdom. If the drow never appears here, it's like a nail being driven into the ground.

He figured it was better to get it over with quickly than to suffer for a long time. He decided to take a hammer and pull the nail out to prevent it from recurring.

"What if it fails?"

Hailianlisa, however, felt that with the preparations he had made, it would be difficult for him to lose.

"The Orchid Cult has arrived and is currently lurking in the forest outside the city, waiting for an order to enter the capital and help us suppress the Drow. The troops guarding the capital have also been dispersed throughout the city. The private soldiers and household troops of the nobles can't do much."

“If they want to disrupt the capital, the guards can be easily controlled by breaking up into smaller groups. If they want to surround the palace, my guards can break up into smaller groups and attack them from both sides with us inside the palace.”

"As for the high-level ones, even if the Bloodstained Society and the Drow each send one high-level one, there are already two high-level professionals in the city. With me as a surprise force, plus the Orchid Sect outside the city, there is basically no need to worry about the high-level ones."

“Their high-ranking members may be very strong, but we are not simple either. If we are really caught off guard, I have a backup plan. As long as Kshia is alive, we can hold them off for a while and then stronger reinforcements will arrive.”

After explaining the original plan, he coughed and said:

"It will win."

"hope so."

Seeing his confidence, Maginus didn't offer any further reminders. Even if they lost, they could simply lead the Firefly Adventurers to find a way out.

Before leaving, the girl glanced at Kxia's abdomen, wondering if she had seen it wrong, as there seemed to be an unusual life force there just now.

No matter how ominous things seem to be brewing above, the people are unlikely to notice anything unusual before a real disaster strikes, as they are busy making money for the succession ceremony.

As the day of his accession to the throne arrived, shop owners hung up discount signs in front of their shops, and many important figures from other places entered the capital by carriage.

The succession ceremony required the lords of each territory to witness it, and they all cooperated by coming, or having someone else act on their behalf if they couldn't attend.

Wearing a flowing gown, Kxia twirled in front of the full-length mirror, patted her chest, and couldn't help but look down at her chest. Underneath the gown, she wore a magical robe; if danger arose, she could simply tear off the decorative robe and enter battle mode.

Maginus, clad in heavy armor, stood on either side of her with Brian. The girl was still somewhat uneasy, a premonition telling her that things wouldn't end so easily.

So she decided to protect Kexia closely. If they were attacked by the enemy and the high-ranking members of the Orchid Sect and other high-ranking members were unable to leave, she could hold off the enemy and give the young couple time to escape.

The adventure team members are already spread out on the scene; hopefully, they can leave safely.

"Brian, Ilsis, do I look good?"

Kishia gave the two of them a forced smile. Her father's near-death situation allowed her to maintain her current emotions for the time being. If he really died, she would definitely have a good cry.

"Of course, you are the most beautiful." "..."

As they whispered sweet nothings, Maginus sensed the life force around her. There was nothing unusual; at least, she didn't sense any other high-ranking warriors present.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to go on stage!"

Kersia's elven maid Fran poked her head out and said that Hyanissa had finished her sermon. Kersia put her hands on her chest, took a deep breath, and then walked out of the room. Maginus put on his helmet and Brian flanked her on either side.

The three entered the throne room from the waiting room. The nobles gathered there cast their gazes, and a terrifying pressure loomed above them. On the throne, the thin and drowsy Haianlisa barely opened his eyes.

The person here is the real me, but I've concealed my life force through certain techniques. When it erupts, I will instantly revert to the state after Maginus infused me with life force.

"Kshia Emma, ​​come forward."
