Chapter 377: Dark Moon’s Initial Setup
Here are the 2 extra chapters for achieving community goal 2???! Thanks for the support!
Although Joseph’s breath was getting weaker and weaker and he was on the verge of death, Kia was very experienced and she did not dare to out her guard down at all. She then cautiously cast a restraint magic before she was relieved.
“Kia, you are so amazing!” Alice’s gaze was full of surprise. She stepped forward and hugged Kia.
“Someone told me to protect his little princess properly.” Kia smiled slightly as she glanced not far away.
In the direction of Kia’s vision, Delia’s figure was gradually moving away. It turned out that Delia had been camouflaged beside Athena. She had always been careful. Seeing Kia and Alice left, she followed suit just in case. She realized something wrong indeed. Since Kia had the ability to solve it by herself, she naturally would not intervene.
His little princess? Alice flushed suddenly, and her heart was warm.
Kia’s strength was actually not much better than Joseph, but her absolute advantage in equipment was superior to Joseph even if Joseph had a magic equipment shop.
The red string bracelet on the succubus maid’s wrist alone was the legendary grade magic jewelry made by Chen Rui. It was the “Moments of Beauty” that once became famous in the Dark Shadow Empire’s mechanic master compet.i.tion. The magic attack of all elements increased by 42% and the casting speed increased by 35%. It also accelerated the speed of spirit power recovery and even came with a s.h.i.+eld defensive magic.
It was precisely because of that compet.i.tion at that time that the red string bracelet style was now becoming popular in the Demon Realm, but no one knew that the set on the wrist of the little maid in the Dark Moon turned out to be a genuine one.
As for the compound magic of wind and fire, it was what Chen Rui learned from the fairy dragon Zola. Kia experienced ups and downs, so she knew the dangers of the world. Therefore, she made up her mind to become stronger long ago. At least, she couldn’t be a burden to Chen Rui, so she trained hard in private. She finally mastered some of the mysteries of compound magic.
At the arena side, the battle ball match was finally over. The final score was fixed at 3:1. The Red Cloak Team finally scored once after the opponent scored 3 consecutive goals, but they could not change the result.
The audience in the arena cheered together. Shea took the opportunity to give a heartening speech and announced a series of favorable systems for comfort. Driven by the supporters, the audience’s mood reached its peak again. The audience shouted “Long live Princess Royal”.
The sinister traps that Joseph originally laid out in his attempt to perish together were removed one by one by Royce long ago. After this “battle”, the Dark Moon had completely returned to Shea’s control. Some families who were close to Joseph also expressed their surrender. It could be described as a complete victory.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Shea recalled the hards.h.i.+ps when she had just taken over Dark Moon and when she was restrained by others over the years. She felt like she was in a dream. The entire estate was finally firmly held in her hands.
All these were changes brought about by that man.
The Dark Moon was just the first step in his plan back then. Next was the capital… and after that, the entire empire.
Judging from the current situation, to truly fulfill father’s dying wish… It seems that it is not just a fantasy.
He hasn’t come back yet?
When she just returned to the palace. Old Gauss immediately reported to Shea that Alice had been deceived by Joseph’s trick and was almost taken hostage. Shea was taken aback. She secretly blamed herself. Her attention was focused on the compet.i.tion just now. She didn’t expect Joseph to use this kind of vicious trick. Accident nearly happened. Fortunately, Kia was there. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Currently, Joseph had been killed by Kia. She escorted Alice back to the palace hall, waiting for her order.
Shea walked to the main hall hastily. When she saw the little loli talking and laughing with Kia there, she immediately blurted out, “Alice!”
“Sister!” Alice hurried over when she saw Shea.
“I’ll settle the scores with you later.” Although she was very worried about her sister, the majesty of the lord sister showed up again after seeing that Alice was safe.
The little loli had long been used to it. She stuck out her tongue, made a face, and said nothing.
Shea turned her gaze to Kia. The maid succubus still had a submissive and humble look, but Shea didn’t know how much respect she had in her heart.
For a long time, Shea still had a little prejudice against Kia in her heart even after learning that Kia had no “problems”. Perhaps this prejudice was more due to the flirty relations.h.i.+p between a certain man and the little maid. To be more precise, it was the jealousy in the heart of this Princess Royal that she did not want to admit.
“Kia… thank you.”
There was no promise of reward. It was only this verbal grat.i.tude. Although it was still in a cold tone, the succubus maid could feel the sincerity of Princess Royal Highness. She smiled and said, “This is what Kia should do because… the little princess is a very important person to Kia.”
Kia was sent to the Dark Moon by Sabrina to work as an undercover agent, but she was exposed by Shea. She was also forced to wear a Demon Restrictive Ring, and there was a lot of surveillance. Only Alice did not regard Kia as a suspicious person, but as a close maid like a real friend. For Kia, who had been bullied since childhood and had no friends, it was a rare warmth. This was the biggest reason why Kia had always been willing to follow Alice.
Shea took a deep look at Kia. There was a touch of warmth in her indifferent eyes. She bowed her head in salute, “Then, please continue to take care of Alice in the future.”
Kia’s eyes lit up. She finally began to bow in return seriously. Kia looked at Alice, and she showed a hearty smile.
This was a good start. It meant that the relations.h.i.+p between Shea and Kia was gradually warming up.
For a lord, fostering a relations.h.i.+p with a maid was already a ridiculous matter, but from the perspective of a woman, especially from the perspective of “a man’s woman”, whether as a lord or a princess, she was not much better than the maid.
This might represent a certain key change in Royal Highness Princess’ mind. If a certain “d.a.m.n man” was here, he would surely cover his mouth and laugh smugly.
The next day, Shea formally announced her new appointment – The former representative sheriff, Athena, formally served as the sheriff and garrison guard commander; Sheriff Chen Rui was changed to financial officer. Due to “physical conditions”, this position was temporarily replaced by Old Gauss; West Road defense team was promoted to the defense force as the third army of the Dark Moon. The commander was a.s.sumed by the heir of the Saiful Family and the former mining officer, Tim; the original position of imperial guards’ reserve forces leader, Aguile, remained unchanged while serving as a military supplies officer. The remaining families would have their rewards accordingly.
The most unexpected thing about this appointment was Aguile. Didn’t this guy betray Princess Royal and turn to Joseph? Why does Princess Royal still appoint him after Joseph’s fall?
Many quick-witted people had guessed it. Aguile, who had always been Princess Royal’s right-hand man, suddenly turned against Joseph in the regular meeting. It should be instructed by the Princess Royal. However, it was a bit weird that Joseph would believe him. There must be some unknown secret in it. However, it was certain that Aguile must have played the most crucial role in this battle.
Joseph’s charges were made public. It included the serious crime of attempting to kidnap the little princess. His corpse was sent back to the Red Spirit Estate. The little princess was a royal family, and she was even the lineage of the Lord of Midnight Sun, so Joseph’s crime couldn’t be forgiven. Even the Red Spirit Lord could not protect him. As per the norms, Josh must also publicly appeal to the capital and apologize to Alice.
Not only that, Shea had already received the intel from the capital. The large and small estate and capital families of the empire had all gathered their funds to Obsidian. However, the mysterious “Charles” mysteriously disappeared after arriving at the capital not long ago. There was also relatively secret news – the financial adviser, Isabella, who had the reputation of the Imperial City’s Flower, died unexpectedly. At the insistence of her friend Krobelus, a secret funeral was held. No one knows whether it was related to “Charles”.
The cause of “Charles”‘ death was actually concealed by Obsidian for fear of causing chaos. However, the truth would be revealed eventually, especially the elder families, who were extremely sensitive to the capital movements. Although Obsidian was the only “remaining” witness at Leisure Moon Inn, many elder families still had doubts – Didn’t Charles have a relations.h.i.+p with Isabella? Judging from the severely damaged scene of Leisure Moon Inn, perhaps it was a terrifying battle at that time. Even Isabella died, so Charles…
Obsidian insisted that “Charles” had safely escaped to the human world since there was no way to verify it anyway. However, even Krobelus faintly guessed that the human was most probably dead, let alone those old and experienced elder families?
At present, many people’s attention was attracted by the mysterious organization that had been purged. However, anyone interested could feel that a terrible storm seemed to be slowly brewing in the capital. Perhaps it was not just the capital.
Judging from this situation, Chen Rui’s plan had been successful. Although the human did not return to the Dark Moon as originally planned and she was confused about the Demon Emperor power of the legendary “Charles”, Shea did not look into it in detail. The most important thing was to carefully start the next planning step by step.
For a time, rumors were abound in the capital and other places. They were mainly about Obsidian, about how the Royal Highness Regent used all means to ama.s.s money by blackmailing and defrauding various estates and families in the name of the potioneer contest.
Rumors had made the capital’s people even more confused. Some families and estates had already started to ask questions about the fundraising models. Obsidian was very furious at this, but the first suspect was not the Dark Moon Estate, but the recent “Bloodfall” organization which was “being cracked down”.
Under Obsidian’s violent and forceful series of tough methods, Bloodfall everywhere was. .h.i.t hard and suffered heavy losses. The results of this investigation also made Obsidian secretly alarmed. I didn’t expect this mysterious force to be so widespread and deeply ingrained. There must be many hidden strengths that have not been unearthed. It seems that I must try to get rid of this power, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Day by day, just as the situation in the Fallen Angel Empire was changing unpredictably, Chen Rui, the initiator of all this, was continuing his a.s.sistant career in the Rainbow Valley.
Since returning from the Fallen Angel Capital last time, the treatment of the sir a.s.sistant sir seemed to have become a lot worse. The time and intensity of the experiment subject had increased a lot. Except for some academic discussion time, Ms. Fairy Dragon had been rough on him during normal days. It was as if he had done something bad that was utterly devoid of conscience and inferior to the beasts.
In the heart of Ms. Fairy Dragon: This tasteless b.a.s.t.a.r.d who wasted my feelings and even buying clothes for other women is indeed a beast. No! Not as good as a beast!
“Charles” was even worse than dead now ?
