"Your Highness, Lord Nox has never shown this much affection to anyone before." The representative shook his head. "Brundela has invaded Faeast in the past, and you did great damage to our land and its people. Your nation made us give up our land and wealth in exchange for peace. None of this would've happened if we had even an ounce of help." He only said so much because Nox was here. He wouldn't even waste his breath if it were any other time."I understand. I am amenable to negotiation and will do my best to get a better deal for my people. As long as you can drive away the tyrant and his evil patron, that is." Elizabeth nodded after due consideration."Good. Dig in, Your Highness. They're your favorites." The representative told the waitstaff to serve them food.James had been waiting for three whole hours before Elizabeth came in, escorted by Faeast's military and political representatives. "Shit!" James slammed the table. "This is unfair! You made our princess sign a contr

The helicopter set off for Brundela. Elizabeth remained in a corner, her hands tucked under her clothes. Black Tortoise noticed that, and he knew she was hiding a dagger underneath. Elizabeth was prepared to fight should she be taken hostage.That cautiousness was useless to Black Tortoise, but he didn't say it out loud. He'd just let her do it if that was what it took to make Elizabeth feel safe and in control. Fortunately, the helicopter arrived at the duke's land and landed on the castle grounds three hours later.The castle was five hundred years old. When the modern era hit, this castle became a place where the duke kept his wine collection. It wasn't open to the public. The castle was under tight security, and a whole company of special forces units was stationed around the castle.Elizabeth noticed a lot of soldiers in blue armor. They weren't wearing any modern attire, and it made her more nervous than before. She came out of the helicopter shivering and cautious. She would

Nox expected Elizabeth's response. This was why she'd been so nervous all the way. "Ice Temple guys, get up and take your seats. Have a taste of Faeast's quality tea. You, old man, you kneel until she tells you to get up," said Nox.The gods stood up and took their seats. Then, they looked at the old man mockingly. It felt great seeing someone else suffer the burn. The old man groveled in terror, scraping the skin of his forehead. Soon, the ground was covered in blood."Nox, he's…""I know. Duke Coleman. He's the nemesis of Brundelan royalty and has been trying to set up his own fiefdom within the empire. He's just like your uncle now: a villain who stops at nothing to get what he wants," said Nox.Elizabeth nodded. Coleman was a traitor. He carved out his own fiefdom in Brundela blatantly, while his company monopolized the nation's markets. Then, he even set up his own military in his land.The duke tried to assassinate Elizabeth a few years ago. Fortunately, the intelligence age

"I did a lot over the last week, Elizabeth. Taking out the Assad gods in Coleman's land is just a bonus. I mostly convinced the Ice Temple gods to work for me. They just want to redeem themselves, so I'll spare them when the reckoning comes," Nox said.Elizabeth was stunned. She had no idea what the Ice Temple was, so Nox just wasted his time for nothing. Black Tortoise laughed. "Milord, you do embellish your stories sometimes. You went all the way to Mystia and beat up the Ice Temple's Lord and even made a video about him begging for his life to show his followers. That's the real reason they submitted to you."Ice Temple's Lord was almost having a breakdown. That fight was humiliating enough, yet Black Tortoise was bringing it up again. He protested, "Enough! I only surrendered to the God of Murder, not you! He acknowledged that, too!"Yes, that was what Nox said. Ice Temple would only submit to Nox. They would rather be his slaves than yield to Faeast. The latter would at least

Ice Temple's cultivators were surprised. 'It's going to be that simple?' they thought. They assumed Nox would make them fight the Assad Temple's gods and the other temples as well. Protecting Elizabeth would be easy."You think it's going to be easy? Don't underestimate the princess of the Mortal Realm. She represents the legitimacy of the royal family. They have made her next in line, and the people expect that. "The Assad Temple wants to control Brundela, not plunge it into hell. They don't want to destroy Brundela. Their aim is to control its wealth."The ruler could be either Dickson or Elizabeth. Brundela would be plunged into disarray depending on the candidate, as how the nation is ruled would be affected. So, the Assad gods will kill Elizabeth themselves," Nox clarified.Only then did the Ice Temple gods realize what their job really was."Worry not, God of Murder. I shall protect the princess of Brundela myself. Even if Oudin himself were to come, I will duel him," the T
