Chapter 693: Shadow: He's Up to Something Big!
Chapter 693: Shadow: He's Up to Something Big!
As Dameim's body lay in a pool of blood and his consciousness gradually faded, he couldn't understand why the Diabolos Sect had suddenly decided to eliminate him.
Was it because of his failure this time? But without his assistance, how could the sect inherit the Olyana Kingdom's throne and control the Black Rose?
Previously, Dameim had boldly presented the rose ring, knowing full well that he still held value for the sect and that they wouldn't kill him so easily.
Looking at Dameim's lifeless body in the pool of blood, Modred elegantly wiped the blood off his longsword and spoke, "He was indeed a foolish fellow. If not for the sect's power, he might have truly believed he could reach this position on his own.
Arrogantly thinking himself irreplaceable? No, a more suitable candidate has already emerged.
The rose ring is already in our possession, and as for the Queen Consort of Olyana? She's just a whore, and being of royal blood is of no use without the royal bloodline."
Modred, as one of the Round Table Knights, was naturally aware of Dameim's schemes in the Olyana Kingdom.
It was nothing more than seducing the old king, poisoning the Queen Consort through the king's daily meals, controlling the king, and finally having the king issue an order for Dameim to marry Princess Roz.
To be honest, before Yecheng's appearance, Dameim's plan was commendable. After all, he had the Olyana royalty under his control.
But now that Yecheng has appeared, Dameim's tricks seem rather third-rate.
Yecheng had won Princess Roz's heart without even trying.
Now, by saving the King of Olyana from danger, Yecheng's claim to the Olyana throne is almost certain.
Modred's original purpose for coming to the Midgar Capital was to carry out a task.
His mission was to try to recruit Yecheng to join the Diabolos Sect.
The sect had already learned about Yecheng being acknowledged by the Holy Sword in the Holy Land.
The sect's intention was to acknowledge Yecheng as a "King" indirectly, but they could first recruit him as one of the Round Table Knights.
Being a Round Table Knight is already considered a high-ranking position within the Diabolos Sect, granting access to the power of immortality.
Ordinary members of the sect, like Jeno who kidnapped Alekxia and now Dameim, would have to accumulate countless merits to reach such a position.
But now, with Yecheng's identity as the Holy Sword's master, the sect has decided that as long as Yecheng agrees, he will be given a seat among the Round Table Knights.
The sect had always intended to recruit Yecheng, and now that he has saved the King of Olyana and Princess Roz's deep affection for him, there seems to be an additional reason to recruit him.
In the sewers beneath the Midgar Capital, after Yecheng's treatment, the King of Olyana's body remains weak, but his consciousness gradually returns to clarity.
However, Yecheng also informs the king that due to the extensive damage caused by the neurotoxin, he likely has only six months left to live.
Hearing that the King of Olyana has only six months to live, Princess Roz is deeply saddened, but the king himself feels relieved and is grateful to Yecheng for giving him a chance to redeem himself.
Six months is enough time for him to accomplish many things. If he had remained a puppet of Dameim and became a disgrace to the kingdom, he would rather die immediately.
"Yecheng, Princess Roz, something terrible has happened! Dameim is dead! Everyone outside believes that Yecheng is responsible for his death."
In the Olyana Kingdom, the Queen was furious and declared that if the Midgar Kingdom did not hand over the murderer, she would raise an army to seek justice for Dameim.
Alekxia, in her haste, not only brought back medicine but also shocking news.
Upon hearing Alekxia's words, Yecheng turned to the father and daughter beside him with a baffled expression, "Setting aside who killed Dameim and made me take the fall, is the Queen of Olyana Kingdom on good terms with Dameim?"
When you two were abducted by me, I didn't see the Queen being so agitated."
Now that Dameim is dead, the Queen is even considering going to war with Midgar?"
Hearing Yecheng's words, Roze's face also showed a hint of confusion and embarrassment, while the King of Olyana's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
As the ruler of a nation, he wasn't exactly a saintly sovereign, but he wasn't a fool either.
At this moment, he finally understood why the person in charge of his meals kept changing, and eventually, even his wife had to take over. His condition had only deteriorated.
Turns out the one with the problem was his most trusted confidant, his very own spouse!
How dare she! Even if she disregarded their years of marital bond, Roze is her daughter!
"My body has mostly recovered, it's time to return and give those scheming villains a taste of their own medicine!"
Thinking of his wife's betrayal, the days of being a puppet, and almost putting his daughter in an irreversible situation, the King of Olyana was filled with rage.
As the King of Olyana expressed his intention to return, the others present did not speak up to stop him.
After all, if the King of Olyana didn't show up soon, the Olyana Kingdom would indeed go to war with the Midgar Kingdom.
Among everyone, Yecheng was probably the most confused. He never expected that his brief role as a boyfriend would cause such a huge mess.
At the God of War Festival, Sid and his extra friend Jia Jia were sitting in the audience, watching a showy man in golden armor striking various poses on the stage. Their expressions were mixed.
This match was originally between Gold Glimmer, known as the "Invincible Myth·Golden Dragon of Conquest," and Yecheng, the "Perfect Knight" of the Absolute Capital.
However, since Yecheng had abducted the King and Princess of Olyana and now killed their regent, most believed that Yecheng wouldn't continue to participate in the festival.
According to the rules of the God of War Festival, if one party did not appear on the stage within 30 minutes, it would be considered a forfeit.
As the Midgar Kingdom had not yet disqualified Yecheng, the referee started the countdown according to the rules.
Jia Jia, who had taken out a high-interest loan and bet everything on Gold Glimmer's victory, couldn't help but grin widely at Yecheng's absence.
Meanwhile, Sid kept shaking his head, unable to comprehend Yecheng's recent actions.
Alpha and the others seemed to know something, but as a Shadow Power Holder, it would be beneath him to ask them directly.
However, Sid believed that Yecheng was his acknowledged arch-rival, and he couldn't fathom that Yecheng's recent actions had no ulterior motive.
Perhaps Yecheng was planning something big to outshine him and claim the title of the most powerful.
