The first girl was just a coincidence. She was so cowardly that she trembled throughout the entire wedding ceremony every time she saw Cesar.
Everything happened completely randomly. The woman, who was terrified throughout the ceremony, secretly peeped into the wedding room out of insecurity, and then tragedy struck.
In other words, she had no intention of doing that in the first place.
She was so scared that she accidentally stepped on something and fell backwards. Unfortunately, the back of her head hit a hard object lying on the floor.
She didn't die immediately. But the injury was extremely serious. If she had called someone over right away, she probably would have survived. But Mercedes thinks differently.
Is a person who does not see the majesty of her husband, but only looks at his naked nature and is afraid to that extent, qualified to be a wife?
The conclusion is simple. So she immediately grabbed a nearby pillow. Her barely breathing ceased in the blink of an eye.
The second daughter is even more pathetic. She is extremely arrogant, daring to look down on Cesar too much. So she asked her to go up to the tower in the middle of the night and give her a push. The sound of her head cracking on the stone floor was so pleasing to the ears.
The third daughter became disobedient right from the wedding ceremony. She even did the unvirtuous thing of going to the riverbank to commit suicide. So she helped push her down. She did what she wanted, she should have thanked her.
The continuous deaths made things become more and more smooth.
The fourth daughter was equally insolent. Like the third woman, she talks a lot. Getting rid of this girl is even easier. Because God has come to help. What a miracle. One day, a letter appeared at her door with a small bottle. The letter clearly stated what was inside the bottle. It is a type of poison that cannot be detected by any test.
Mercedes believes this is a gift from God. That Heaven extended a hand to help her protect Cesar.
Four daughters died, but it was all attributed to the curse so no one suspected her. Curse, that's funny. For Mercedes, this is not a curse, but a blessing.
“Protecting my son cannot be called a curse.”
She took action against four prince concubine candidates. Adding a fifth person is no problem. Yes, we need to destroy that arrogant and insolent woman.
“I must protect Cesar…… I must protect my son.”
This fifth girl could be considered the most troublesome person she had ever met.
At first, seeing that she was not afraid when she saw Cesar but lived together in harmony, she was almost fooled. What a cruel bastard.
Moreover, she even dared to directly divide the feelings between her and Cesar. That insolent thing dares to come between us.
She clenched her molars. Con dao găm giấu trong ngực áo đã được mài giũa tỉ mỉ suốt mấy ngày đêm, lại còn tẩm thêm món quà của Thần linh. Just a little grazed……
“Heh, heh heh…….”
Mercedes let out a strange laugh. The destination is right in front of your eyes. That is the slope leading to happiness. No matter how dangerous the thorn bush is ahead, it doesn't matter.
Just a little more, boundless happiness is waiting for her.
Since a few days ago, I realized someone was following me.
That's because "Wisdom Eye of Heaven's Mandate" continuously shows me the truth. Once the principle was grasped, the frequency with which the Wisdom Eye displayed illusions increased.
“Concentrate a little more.”
Richard sternly rebuked me. Yes, I am currently practicing with him how to control this Wisdom Eye.
“But…… it's so difficult.”
Vấn đề là với một người chẳng những không có tài năng ma thuật mà đến chút năng lực tương tự cũng không có, thì tôi biết phải làm thế nào đây.
Ví von một cách hình tượng thì việc này khó chẳng khác nào vừa tung hứng ba quả bóng trên không, vừa đi thăng bằng trên dây và chạy nước rút cùng một lúc.
"UH……."
At that moment, my ears rang and dizziness struck. I held my throbbing head and groaned.
“Your Highness, are you okay?”
Delfina beside me felt sad and quickly pressed a cold towel to my forehead.
This is the headache that comes every time I intentionally use Wisdom Eye. Theo lời Richard, để thi triển ma pháp thì cần phải huy động mana, nhưng tôi vốn là người thường, độ cảm ứng ma pháp lẫn tổng lượng mana đều thiếu hụt trầm trọng, hay nói đúng hơn là gần như bằng không.
Việc một người như vậy cố gắng điều khiển loại ma pháp cao cấp này cũng giống như một đứa trẻ không áo giáp, không gươm giáo mà lao ra chiến trường vậy.
Richard looked at me and sighed.
"As expected, it's still too much for you. Rest a bit and then continue."
What's with that look and disdainful attitude? Are all the Elves so arrogant? Indeed, Richard is a very misleading person. Not only in the way he talks, he doesn't seem to care about any human being in this world.
Sometimes when Delfina and I start a conversation, he doesn't bother to answer right away, making people feel impatient. In particular, if there is a situation where he has to come into contact with someone, he will find every way to avoid it.
A person like that, if there is any object that interests him then……
“Ren, does it hurt?”
“No, I'm fine.”
It's Cesar. When I'm next to Cesar like this, I feel it even more clearly. Richard's eyes looked at Cesar.
Every time he saw Cesar, his eyes were as sweet as if he were sucking sugar candy. No, you might not notice it at first glance. At first I couldn't distinguish that expression.
Nhưng quan sát lâu mới thấy, đó là ánh mắt Richard dành cho thứ gì đó đáng yêu đến mức không chịu nổi theo cách riêng của ông.
Seeing me keep staring, Richard quickly turned away and cleared his throat.
“…….”
“…….”
Awkward silence fell between us. Perhaps because this situation had been repeated many times, my eyes must have contained hidden questioning. He cleared his throat a few times and then opened his mouth.
“……This is an unavoidable matter.”
“In the end… what?”
Seeing me asking, Richard nodded as if he had decided something.
“The familiars of Hebrilium have always felt an undeniable sense of friendship towards Dragons.”
“A relative of Hebrilium……?”
Rừng Hebrilium, hay còn gọi là Quyến thuộc của Hebrilium, được biết đến là một tập hợp tộc Elf, một trong những thế lực đã ký kết đồng minh với Đế quốc Asetria.
Elves were born from trees and lived their entire lives in the forest. Họ ngại xuất hiện ở thế giới loài người và được biết đến như những sự tồn tại đầy bí ẩn, nên đối với tôi, câu chuyện này vô cùng mới mẻ.
“Hebrilium coi ma pháp là cội nguồn, nên không thể chối từ Rồng. Rồng là nguồn ma lực thuần khiết, việc chối từ nó cũng phi lý như việc từ chối hít thở vậy.”
Ông ta nói thêm rằng vì mình là bán Elf (Half-Elf) nên chỉ chịu ảnh hưởng một nửa, nhờ đó mới kìm nén được đến mức này. If half were like that, how passionate would the pure-blooded Elves still be?
I mumbled somewhat gruffly:
"That's really strange. So the other Elves will also like Cesar very much, right?"
Hearing that, Richard smiled bitterly. I don't understand why that smile has a hint of sadness.
"Who knows about that. Now, after resting enough, let's start practicing again."
“Uh…….”
I groaned and concentrated again. Slowly close your eyes and visualize the situation you want to see. He said to minimize thinking as much as possible and keep your mind empty.
Through blurred vision, something gradually appeared. If you lose focus, meaningless information will continuously flood in, or the illusion will be too faint to see clearly. Mong là lần này sẽ thành công.
The outline of the truth slowly appeared in my mind. My supervisor, his yellow-toothed smile, and the person who hired him. The image of giving silver coins, that hand is the hand of an acquaintance.
“Hộc, hộc…….”
Confirming that, I quickly opened my eyes and gasped. Mồ hôi lạnh lấm tấm trên trán.
Lần này có vẻ đã thành công. I gasped continuously and then raised my head.
“That hand belongs to Marta, Giovinetta's maid……”
I assumed the person who set up my surveillance was Mercedes or Giovinetta, and sure enough, it was.
Thực ra ban đầu tôi đã nghi ngờ Elda. Because the first person who wanted to kill me was her.
However, yesterday Elda's body was found. The scene of Elda's death was also something I saw thanks to Wisdom Eye.
Elda was called by Mercedes, received money and was invited to tea. There is poison in the tea.
Mercedes is truly a scary woman. The person who hired Elda to kill me was her, and the person who handled Elda to cover up the clues was also her.
In the end, the contours of the truth are this ugly.
The fact that Giovinetta and Mercedes were colluding with each other could be guessed without using Tue Nhan.
In some ways, the combination of these two people is extremely troublesome.
But I have a great weapon in my hand, Tue Nhan Thien Menh. Possessing this power in an isolated situation alone in the middle of the Royal Palace with no relatives can be considered a huge advantage.
Tuy nhiên, có một vấn đề.
“You can't just casually proclaim that you have this ability.”
Seeing through the truth with such a shadowy ability is not an easy thing to tell others.
Because this is an ability that cannot be clearly proven, and prophetic acts that are not authentic and have not been verified in terms of religion pose too great risks. If you make a mistake, you can be accused of being a crazy person or a witch.
So what I need to do is set a trap.
