Chapter 711: Truly, a Worthy Shadow Lord!
Chapter 711: Truly, a Worthy Shadow Lord!
Surveying the chaotic surroundings and the survivors, the Midgar Marquis, having regained his noble composure, made Princess Alice feel like a laughingstock.
However, as she stood there dejected, her peripheral vision caught the sight of Medis and Baron Gais, causing her eyes to brighten instantly.
This 'God of War Festival' incident, while making her feel powerless, also made her realize once again the strength of Yecheng.
There was still hope for the Midgar Kingdom; as long as they removed the corrupt and incompetent officials and replaced them with capable individuals like Gais, the father of Yecheng.
Given time, the Midgar Kingdom would undoubtedly grow again and even rival the 'Shadow Courtyard' and the 'Diabloros Sect'!
Regarding Modred's treatment, Alice didn't insist further, as she was well aware that with their current strength, the Midgar Kingdom had little say in the matter.
Weakness couldn't be respected, and to prevent a repeat of today's painful experience, the Midgar Kingdom had to change!
Watching Alice turn and leave on her own, Beta and Epsilon sensed that the First Princess of Midgar had seemingly matured in an instant.
Of course, they didn't pay much attention to the so-called Princess at the moment, instead turning their gaze to another battle not far away.
At the center of the 'God of War Festival' arena, the intensity of the battle unfolding there was second only to the clash between Yecheng and Shadow Lord.
Two figures, identical in appearance but differing in attire and demeanor, caused widespread destruction with each collision.
In terms of mana, swordsmanship, and combat experience, Alpha was clearly inferior to Beatrice.
Without the use of the Pseudo Command, Alpha's mana might have been superior, but with Yecheng's mana, Alpha was completely suppressed.
If it weren't for Beatrice's reluctance to harm her niece, Alpha would have been defeated long ago.
"I never expected that you, who disappeared at a young age, could grow so strong on your own.
Alpha, come back with me. As your aunt, I will teach you everything I know, and you will become even stronger."
Alpha, of course, ignored Beatrice's words, as she didn't consider the Elven Sword Saint before her to be her true relative, despite their blood connection.
The 'home' Beatrice spoke of wasn't her real home, either; Alpha's home was the 'Shadow Courtyard', and her true family was Shadow Lord and the others, with whom she had grown up.
"I am not the person you seek, nor do I have any connection to you. My home is the 'Shadow Courtyard', and that is where I truly belong."
Seeing Alpha's stubbornness and deep 'poisoning', Beatrice's expression turned grave.
Just as she decided to use more force, even if it meant injuring Alpha severely, to take her away from the 'Shadow Courtyard', Beta and Epsilon arrived to lend their support.
Beatrice, empowered by Yecheng's mana, was formidable, but she couldn't defeat Alpha and her two companions alone.
Watching Yecheng and Shadow Lord chase after Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon, Beatrice hesitated for a moment before sheathing her sword and turning to leave as well.
She had no choice; although she wanted to take her niece away immediately, the current situation didn't allow it.
Now that she was aware of her niece's whereabouts and Alpha was temporarily safe within the 'Shadow Courtyard', there was no immediate danger.
Even if today was not the day, she would eventually rescue her niece.
With Mordred captured alive and both Yecheng and Beatrice departing, the chaos had mostly subsided.
"He's the Ninth Seat of the Sect's Round Table Knights, 'Transcendent Demon Sword' Mordred?"
As Beatrice turned to leave, Alpha heaved a sigh of relief and then looked at Mordred, who was being held by Epsilon with one hand.
"Don't even think about getting any information about the Sect from me.
'Shadow Courtyard'? In the eyes of our Sect, it's just a minor player. My companions will come to rescue me soon, so you'd better be prepared."
Even though he was captured, Mordred remained defiant, showing no signs of acknowledging his captive status.
Before leaving, Yecheng had promised Mordred that he would return to save him.
Now that Yecheng had obtained the Rose Ring and with his connection to Princess Roz, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Olyana Kingdom and took control of 'Black Rose'.
With 'Black Rose' and Yecheng's own strength, how could a mere Shadow and the 'Shadow Courtyard' stand a chance?
Thinking of this, Mordred felt no fear. He believed that before long, these harlots of the 'Shadow Courtyard' would be begging for mercy at his feet.
Mordred and his "good brother" Yecheng would not only erase their failure but also gain merit by annihilating the 'Shadow Courtyard'. It was inevitable that their status within the Sect would rise even higher.
"Are all the so-called 'Round Table Knights' of your Sect as hopelessly stupid as you?... Never mind, hand this guy over to Lambda. She'll show this Knight the interrogation methods of the Shadow Courtyard."
Alpha and the others could more or less guess what Mordred was thinking.
It was precisely because of this that they found Mordred both foolish and pathetic.
Waiting for Lord Yecheng to come to his rescue? Was this some kind of joke?
Most of today's events had been orchestrated by Lord Yecheng, all for the purpose of gaining Mordred's trust and obtaining the crucial Rose Ring from him.
After learning about 'Black Rose', Yecheng and Alpha realized that the Rose Ring might be a critical item for controlling 'Black Rose'.
Although they could have killed Mordred to obtain the item, there was no guarantee that he would have the ring on his person.
For this reason, Yecheng and Alpha had staged this entire spectacle. The only one kept in the dark about the plan was their Shadow Lord.
However, Beatrice's appearance was somewhat unexpected to Alpha and the others. After all, according to the script provided by Lord Yecheng, this part shouldn't have happened.
But upon remembering that it was Lord Shadow Night's arrangement, Alpha and the others immediately understood that there must be a reason for his actions, even if they weren't wise enough to comprehend it.
Lord Shadow, on the other hand, was different. Even without being informed of the plan, his performance was impeccable, leaving no room for criticism.
Only someone as powerful and wise as Lord Shadow Night could possibly understand his intentions.
