Chapter 993: A Royal Storm 1
“Huh? What did you say?”
rlin’s force remained terrifying. Although he seed calm, his calmness seed like a volcano that was about to erupt. This made the full-shifting contender very alard.
Faced with rlin’s inquiry, this full-shifter stood up hurriedly and looked around before saying secretively, “Marquis Leon, in fact, this is a body double of Her Highness. The Princess Royal had always been very cautious and prudent. She had many body doubles to guard against the unexpected.”
“Body double?”
rlin carefully looked at the corpse on the ground; he did not know the Princess Royal very well. Even after that intimate encounter, he was rely able to identify so aspects of her presence. Nonetheless, this corpse on the ground had the sa force as the Princess Royal. It was unbelievable.
“Where’s Lisa now? Bring there!” rlin said in a low, urgent voice.
“Marquis Leon, please follow . However, to prevent the people of the second prince from discovering their error, I must conceal this truth.”
Therefore, with this full-shifter covering up the truth, almost all of the palace learned that the Princess Royal was killed by an assassin. Conversely, rlin was led by the full-shifter back to the Princess Royal’s palace.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, rlin saw a familiar face. It was the Princess Royal.
“You’re really not dead?”
rlin carefully looked at the Princess Royal. She looked rather the sa, and her force had not changed. Still, after knowing that the Princess Royal had many body doubles, rlin was even starting to suspect whether the one whom he had intercourse with was the real Princess Royal.
“I’m so lucky. I’m really not dead. I’ve never thought that brother of mine would resort to such underhanded ans, but how efficient it was. If that was really , I would have been dead by now!”
The Princess Royal had learned about everything that happened within the palace, and her voice had an icy edge to it.
“Lisa, how many body doubles do you have?” rlin asked coldly.
“Body doubles? I do have a few. In a precarious situation like this, of course, I need plenty of body doubles, but Leon, don’t worry. That day, it was the real ! If you don’t believe , you may check for yourself.”
With that, Lisa wound both hands around rlin’s neck, her fragrance drifting into rlin’s nose. This ti, there was no aphrodisiac. rlin could have held back, but at this mont, he did not wish to do so.
Therefore, he swiftly swept the Princess Royal up in his arms and entered the inner chamber. At that point, moans began to sound.
After a few hours, rlin stared at Lisa who still wore a playful, taunting expression, and shook his head. This Lisa was enchanting indeed. rlin did not feel much love for her, only pure lust. Although Lisa was not soone with absolute beauty, the scent of her body was astonishingly tempting to the senses.
“Lisa, tell , what are you going to do?” rlin asked in a calm voice.
“That good little brother of mine had gone against protocol. However, we’re not in a rush. I’ll see how King Father’s side reacts. If he exploits this chance to sort out that good brother of mine, of course, that’d be ideal. If he’s unwilling, humph, then don’t bla us if we break the rules too!”
rlin could sense murderous intentions coming off Lisa. This ambitious woman would be vicious and rciless once she intended to kill; not softening in the slightest.
To avoid suspicion, rlin did not stay on in the Princess Royal’s palace for long and quickly left the place.
...
“Swish.”
A pitch-dark shadow appeared before the second prince without making a sound. The second prince had not even noticed, nor did the three full-shifters from the army. Only until Shadowthorn spoke did they realize his presence. They swiftly moved to shield the second prince and hissed. “Shadowthorn, what are you trying to do?”
These three full-shifters, despite having heard about how strange and powerful Shadowthorn was, only now discovered that Shadowthorn was right beside them. They had not even sensed him in the slightest. This was too scary. The thought of it was enough to induce fear.
A smirk crossed Shadowthorn’s lips as he glanced at the three full-shifters, following which he settled his gaze on the second prince and said evenly, “The Princess Royal is dead. When will you bring to the Sacred Lion Beast’s head, so that I can look at it closely?”
“What? The Princess Royal is dead? You... You’ve really succeeded?”
An astounded look appeared on the second prince’s face as if he dared not believe this. He had only made the agreent with Shadowthorn a few days ago. Plus, the Princess Royal was guarded by full-shifters by her side. How could she be killed so easily?
Nonetheless, when they thought about how Shadowthorn appeared before them noiselessly, the second prince could sowhat believe this. If Shadowthorn had made a move instantly, the second prince had no assurance that he would be able to evade Shadowthorn’s assassination.
“This... Shadowthorn, I have to determine the truth of this. If we ultimately determine that the Princess Royal has died, I’ll let you know,” the second prince cald himself down and replied serenely.
“You have three days to ascertain this. I’ll return then!”
Shadowthorn’s gaze would cause one to tremble with dread. Clearly, Shadowthorn was not even a full-shifter, but he still inspired fear in full-shifters.
“Swoosh.”
Shadowthorn quickly vanished from the second prince’s sight without a sound. The three full-shifters cautiously inspected the surroundings. After making sure that Shadowthorn had left, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“D*mn it, that Shadowthorn is really too arrogant and bold.”
The three full-shifting contenders felt that Shadowthorn had disregarded them, and their hearts naturally were filled with rage.
Even so, the second prince appeared placid and said softly, “Forget about Shadowthorn for now. Go at once and find out if the Princess Royal is truly dead.”
Since he thought about the nurous benefits that would co of the Princess Royal’s death, the second prince who had always remained composed could not help his excitent.
“Your Highness, we’ll find out imdiately. However, at this ti, stay in the palace as much as you can, in case anything happens.”
The second prince nodded. He knew that at this mont, anything could happen. His safety was the priority.
...
The king of the Holy Dragon Empire was currently feeling slightly agitated. There was only one person standing before him, and that was the mysterious Minister Farron who controlled Phantom.
Farron did not say a word and only stood silently before the king.
After a long while, the king stopped his pacing, his brow still tightly knitted. He growled. “Farron, Lisa is dead. That second son of mine is really too brazen. He has disdained the rules of the royal family, and as well!”
Farron still did not say anything. He knew that the king was venting, but this matter could not be resolved by getting angry.
At last, after the king had gradually cald down, Farron ventured to say, “Your Majesty, I think that priority now should be to explain things to the Princess Royal’s people, especially that Leon!”
“Explain? What’s there to explain? Lisa is dead. I’ll take back all the authority she held. Moreover, Farron, go and give the second prince an admonishnt, then spare no effort to capture Shadowthorn. We can’t let him live. As for Leon, now that Lisa is dead, he has no other choice.”
At this ti, the king’s first thought was to regain his power. As a king, he was rather aggrieved. His own authority was not even as great as his own children.
Farron was inwardly calm. In the royal family, there was no affection to speak of. Power would always be the focus of everyone’s struggle, without exception.
“Your Majesty, rest assured. I’ll deal with this matter properly.”
With that, Farron took his leave. In his view, the king was about to reduce this problem into a small matter, then nothing. He was only seizing Shadowthorn, which ant he was sparing the second prince.
“I hope that this Leon can see the situation clearly!” Farron mumbled softly. He did not know why, but he had always felt an ominous premonition towards rlin. In so many years, Farron felt that rlin was the greatest threat other than Doomsday.
