From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 413 Rebel Charlotte

There were only two days left until the Queen's wedding.

Queen Peggy of Cyart was to wed Arte Fischer of the Fischer family.

The sky over Nasir City seemed to have cracked open, endless drops of rain pouring down in torrents, weaving a dense water curtain that shrouded the entire world in a blur of obscurity and noise.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

The raindrops fiercely pelted the windows, producing a series of urgent and powerful sounds, like the most vigorous drumbeats of nature.

Inside the house became a haven from the wind, warm and safe.

From within, people looked out the window to see the outside world completely altered by the rain, everything becoming blurred and distant.

This was the “Nebula” district of Nasir City, where five people were drinking and exchanging words in a tavern room, their faces all wearing expressions of grave seriousness and complexity.

They were about to do something momentous!

Whether that great deed succeeded or failed, each of them would die, making the atmosphere incredibly somber and tragic.

The youngest among the group of five was a girl with short green hair, dressed in the kind of outfit only nobility would wear. Her name was Charlotte Persires, and she too came from a viscount family.

Charlotte hid inside the building, quietly observing everything in Nasir City, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She had finally arrived in Nasir City…

That nightmare-like fallen city where demons had long been stationed. Although the people on the streets seemed to live better than those elsewhere, she felt they must have paid a bloody price.

“Teacher, we must succeed!”

Charlotte took a deep breath and looked towards the eldest of the five, an old man in blue who appeared to be in his eighties and was the commander of this operation.

The teacher had told her very solemnly some time ago that only by successfully assassinating the infamous puppet Queen Peggy Adler could Cyart have hope and a future.

She believed this wholeheartedly!

In the ten years since the Fischer family came to power, the whole of Cyart had become incredibly chaotic, the old order overturned in an instant, many courageous and wise individuals dying noiselessly…

She couldn't understand!

They shouldn't have died–many were even heroes of the nation, yet they were killed one after another under the persecution of the despicable “Iron Mask Man,” the “demon of the East Coast,” Duke Fischer.

Charlotte clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaving with immense anger!

“I want revenge! I must crush the Fischer family!”

But the teacher shook his head, calmly stretching out his hand and saying:

“Charlotte, don't let hatred drown the brightness of your eyes. You are the last hope of your family… Actually, I wish you could leave and not take part in this action.”

“Why?” Charlotte was completely stunned, why ask her to leave at this point?

“Because you are the only one left in your family who is alive. If you too were to die, I could not face your departed parents…”

“No, since I'm the only one left, how can I continue to live if I can't avenge my family?”

Charlotte closed her eyes, tears streaming from the corners.

“Charlotte, you are a genius. At just sixteen, you successfully reached the Lower Transmutation Level… If you choose to live, there is a good chance for you to reach the Monarch level in the future, and then you will have the opportunity to personally avenge your entire family, to kill Darren Fischer yourself!”

After hearing this, Charlotte could only offer a bitter smile and shook her head.

“How easy is that? I have been closely monitored for years. If it weren't for you taking me away, I would still be under the 'Eye of the Raven'…”

“With no family or resources, even as a genius, the likelihood of becoming a Monarch powerful expert is almost impossible.”

“Sigh, since you are so resolved, I won't stop you anymore.”

Years ago, her parents had tried to overthrow the cruel and tyrannical Fischer family, seeking help from outside forces, and her sister had accidentally spilled water out of fear upon seeing Duke Fischer, “Iron Mask Man,” at a banquet…

Thus, all members of Charlotte's family were arrested, except for her, a young and ignorant girl sent to relatives; all other direct family members were executed.

Charlotte couldn't possibly forgive, nor ever forgive! She knew she lacked the strength to kill the terrifying demon Darren Fischer! But she had to kill that most despicable accomplice, Queen Peggy Adler, at least!

The cold light of a dagger flickered in the candlelight, reflecting the endless hatred and thirst for revenge in her heart.

Her face twisted with anger, and her eyes burned with a fury that seemed capable of devouring everything.

The hands clutching the dagger trembled slightly from the exertion, yet her gaze was unwavering, not showing the slightest hint of hesitation.

She was consumed with thoughts of the main culprit behind her family's demise and her despair. Every drop of rain that fell sounded like an echo of the rage in her heart!

Charlotte was well aware that the path of revenge was fraught with thorns and dangers, but she feared nothing.

She was willing to pay the price with her life, to seek the punishment those sinners deserved. She was no longer the frail noble girl, but a warrior driven by hatred and bent on justice!

The storm raged on, yet the girl inside the house seemed to be in another world, with only the flames of vengeance burning brightly in her heart.

Time passed little by little, and evening gradually approached.

Everyone here waited for the arrival of the Rhea People, but for some reason, they never came, and anxiety grew in everyone's hearts.

Outside the window, the night sky was low, the wind howled fiercely, and the rain poured heavily, the droplets lashing the earth like whips of fury, creating a deafening noise.

“Boom!”

Thunder roared, lightning cleaved the sky, briefly illuminating the pitch-black night!

Charlotte took a deep breath.

Why haven't they come yet?

The turbulent waves of anger in the girl's heart found an echo, as she stood alone in a dim corner of the house, her figure both lonely and resolute.

Unable to bear it any longer, she turned to question her teacher.

“How much longer must we wait here for the rendezvous with the Rhea People? It's odd–they should have been here by now!”

However, before the teacher could respond, someone else in the crowd said disdainfully:

“The Rhea People are no saints, hmph, if it weren't for the need to overthrow that demon family, I wouldn't bother cooperating with the Rhea People!”

“If they really don't show up, we'll have to act on our own! Queen Peggy is just an ordinary person; as long as we launch a surprise attack, there's a chance to kill her on the spot in front of everyone!”

“Without Queen Peggy, the Fischer family will lose their authority!”

Everyone remained silent, tacitly understanding that although the Fischer family was the most evil entity, the Rhea People weren't much better–it was just that everyone was forced to collaborate with those folks out of necessity.

Suddenly the teacher spoke:

“Trouble, there's an Extraordinary Exponent outside, it might be the Eye of the Raven, or the Black Tide… or possibly 'Mask'!”

The faces of everyone inside the house changed.

Someone was there?

Charlotte also drew a deep breath, her heart seizing as she nervously looked outside the window.

Who could it be?

Please, not Mask!

Both “Eye of the Raven” and “Black Tide” were terrifying entities, but while they were evil minions of the Fischer family, only “Mask” was the most frightening dagger of that dreadful family!
