Chapter 284: The Best Actor of Yecheng
Chapter 284: The Best Actor of Yecheng
Of course, this was merely the Kingdom's official statement, and those who knew the inside story were well aware that the reality was far from what was being portrayed.
ALEXIA's return was attributed to a person named "Shadow" who claimed to have rescued her, and this person was also a member of the 'Shadow Courtyard'.
The 'Diabros Cult', which disrupted the peace of the Capital City, and the 'Shadow Courtyard' were involved. The Diabros Cult members were eliminated by the Shadow Courtyard.
After accomplishing their mission, the Shadow Courtyard members nonchalantly left in broad daylight right in front of them.
This incident was also considered a disgrace by the Capital City's strongest Mage Swordsman, Alice Midgall.
Her younger sister, ALEXIA, was rescued by the leader of the Shadow Courtyard, Shadow, and the other members of the Shadow Courtyard left right in front of Alice, yet she could do nothing about it.
The rioters who disrupted the peace of the Capital City were eliminated? That was merely a lie to stabilize the people's hearts. In reality, the Royal Knight Order of the Kingdom was almost entirely ineffective in this situation.
Regarding the Shadow Courtyard and Shadow, Alice also obtained some information from her younger sister, ALEXIA.
ALEXIA stated that the Atomic Strike that wiped out a large area of the Capital City was released by Shadow, but Alice immediately expressed her disbelief.
Even with personal Mana Power, it was impossible for even legendary Demon Kings or Demon Gods to reach such a level.
She believed that ALEXIA must have made a mistake. Shadow might indeed be powerful, but the Mana blast that swept through the Capital City must have been borrowed from some powerful Magic Artifact.
After explaining Shadow's situation to Alice, ALEXIA also proved Yecheng's innocence and clarified the cause and effect of the incident.
"It seems that the matter regarding the Diabros Cult can only be understood once Yecheng wakes up."
"Hasn't he woken up yet after a whole night?"
When the topic turned to Yecheng, Alice turned to the knight beside her and asked.
Last night, after the members of the Shadow Courtyard left, Alice and the others cleaned up the battlefield and discovered Yecheng lying unconscious in the ruins.
After a diagnosis, it was determined that Yecheng had no major issues; he was simply exhausted due to excessive Mana consumption and physical fatigue.
Regarding Yecheng's abilities and his contributions, Alice, who had always admired him, now held him in even higher regard.
Due to the interference of Alpha and the others, she was unable to team up with Yecheng to deal with that monster, which Yecheng had single-handedly stopped.
What happened to the Demon Beast in the end, Alice was unsure. In any case, no traces of the Demon Beast were left at the scene, and they could only wait for Yecheng to wake up to obtain further information.
As for the room arranged by the Royal Knight Order, Yecheng had naturally awakened long ago, or perhaps he had never fallen into a coma in the first place.
But according to Sida's usual behavior, Yecheng would pretend to be in a state of exhaustion and unconsciousness after an intense battle to enrich his character.
Yecheng, unlike Sida, had no intention of hiding his strength and being a Supporting Character. However, the problem was that he had never considered that the people in the Capital City would be so weak.
If he truly demonstrated his strength and defeated the monster that even the Capital City's strongest Mage Swordsman couldn't handle, how would others view him, and where would the royal family's face be saved?
Sida, that guy, is the immortal World Child who can party all he wants without dying, while I'm just an extra. Yecheng has always reminded me of this, so I've always tried to avoid showing off if I can help it.
"Clap———"
As the door opened, Yecheng, who had already sensed the aura of the approaching visitor, tossed the half-eaten apple he was holding out the window. He then put on a feeble act.
Just as Yecheng's energetic demeanor transformed into a sickly one, several figures entered the room, pushing the door open. Among them, the one with fiery red hair and a particularly refreshing appearance was the First Princess, Alice Midgar.
"How are you feeling? Is your body doing better?"
Upon entering, Alice, seeing that Yecheng had regained consciousness, immediately expressed her concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess Alice. My body didn't sustain any injuries; I merely exhausted my mana and overdrew my physical strength. I'll be fine after a brief rest."
Seeing that Alice and Alexia had come together, Yecheng understood their purpose. They primarily wanted to inquire about the cause and effect of the events, so he straightened his posture at that moment.
"The Diabros Cult, I only learned about this power group's existence recently from Jeno Gulifi.
They are a nefarious force operating in the shadows, abducting young girls worldwide for Demon Diabros' experiments, aiming to gain immense power.
The Demon Beast that caused chaos in the capital city was initially just an ordinary girl. However, after being subjected to inhumane experiments, she transformed into that terrifying form."
"Jeno Gulifi said he recognized my talent and strength and wanted me to join them.
To uncover the Diabros Cult's secrets, I had no choice but to swallow the poison he gave me and take a risk by pretending to be a Phantom Snake.
Speaking of this, I should apologize to Princess Alexia, as I didn't keep our agreement to rescue you.
But even if I hadn't gone, shouldn't someone named 'Shadow' have come to save you instead?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Alice and Alexia's faces immediately showed surprise. "You know something about the Shadow Courtyard and Shadow?"
Through Alexia's previous narrative, Alice had already guessed the situation regarding the Diabros Cult and Jeno Gulifi.
However, what surprised Alice was that Yecheng had also been in contact with someone from the Shadow Courtyard!
"Yes, after Jeno Gulifi forced me to swallow the poison, someone from the Shadow Courtyard approached me.
They claimed that the Shadow Courtyard is the Diabros Cult's arch-enemy. After they solved the poison issue, a person claiming to be Shadow also said they would help rescue Alexia, assuring me not to worry.
Compared to the Diabros Cult, the Shadow Courtyard seems even more mysterious. I'm sorry, but I have no information about them either.
But from what I can tell so far, they don't seem to be evil. They only target the Diabros Cult for extermination..."
Before Yecheng could finish speaking, Alice, with a furious expression, punched the wall next to her. "If they're not evil, then why did Shadow directly erase several streets in the capital city! And if you look at the architectural damage, the destruction he caused to the capital is far more severe than that of the Diabros Cult!"
