Chapter 67 Sneaking Into The Minister’s Residence! Uncontrollable Rage!
After making up his mind to enroll in the Imperial College of Magic, Sade bid farewell to Thea and the others before leaving the potion shop.
He decided not to leave the business district directly, seeing that the sky had yet to turn dark. Instead, he wandered around the commercial district with some interest and checked out the shops selling strange items or trying out some rare delicacies from time to time. After all, he was not lacking money at the moment.
However, while Sade was enjoying himself in this area, several pairs of green eyes were staring at him from a distance as if they were trying to confirm something. One of them quickly left the scene and ran towards the blue building in the distance.
…
A naked girl was tied up in a luxuriously decorated room in the blue building. Her hands were tied, and her entire body was almost hanging in the air. She was barely able to support her body by touching the ground with the tips of her feet.
Just as this naked girl was enduring the pain caused by the tightening of the ropes around her body, a half-naked fatty with a twisted smile on his face suddenly walked out from the curtain behind her, holding a whip in his hand. With the sound of the fatty's approaching footsteps, the naked girl who was initially silent suddenly looked frightened. Her body struggled frantically, trying to break free from the ropes, but it was futile.
"Whip! Whip! Whip!"
The girl, who was still struggling, suddenly let out a helpless wail as the whipping sounds sounded. The whip in his hand became more powerful, and the smile on the fatty's face became more ferocious.
It wasn't until the girl was beaten until her skin was ripped open and blood dripped all over the floor, and she stopped moving at all, that the fatty finally stopped.
"Tsk! Is It broken again? Seriously, these toys are becoming less durable these days. I have to get someone to find me a new batch." Suddenly, a knock on the door just as the fatty was mumbling to himself, "Who is it?"
"Young Master Bob, the Master wants you to hurry over. He said that he has something to discuss with you."
"Father wants me to go? Could it be that Princess Philomena has agreed to marry me?"
The fatty revealed a perverted expression as he seemed to be visualizing himself abusing the graceful figure of Her Royal Highness with a leather whip. Bob's heart couldn't be more excited, especially when he thought of the princess who finally compromised under his threat despite her heroic temperament.
"She's a mage and a princess. I've never tortured a princess before!" Fat Bob could not hold his excitement and immediately rushed out of the room.
A thick smell of blood instantly spread as he opened the door.
…
The sun set as the night approached.
A figure wearing a purple mage robe quietly landed on the blue building without attracting anyone's attention. Despite having his eyes closed, he walked in the darkness without any obstacles and easily sneaked into the residence before him.
Minister Claude Herrmann was listening to his subordinates' reporting in the hall. The subordinates' dressings were the same as those of the people who had been spying on Sade.
"How is your deployment going with the order I gave earlier?"
"Everything is ready, My Lord. We have arranged everything and are waiting to take action on the Princess's wedding night in three days."
"Good, you have done well. My plan is half completed once the Third Prince's men arrive. And once my plan is successful, you will all be my first-class meritorious subordinates and will have a lot of power, status, and wealth by then. However, if you dare to rebel against me, you should know the consequences." The minister's eyes revealed a trace of blood.
"We understand."
"Sir, aren't you worried that Princess Philomena will not come?"
"Hmph! Will she not come?"
"So what if she has become an archmage now? What can she do? Does she think that she can destroy all of us? You must know that the Queen's life is in my hands."
The minister slowly took out and opened an exquisite box from the secret compartment at the side of the chair. There were two exquisite medicine bottles in the box, a blue and a black.
The minister took out the black medicine bottle and carefully examined it, "I didn't expect the effect of this poison to be so overbearing. It's colorless and odorless, but it can impact a person's spirit and cannot be expelled by external forces. Once it is in touch with other spiritual power, it will directly contaminate and destroy the other party's spiritual power. You can only rely on this one and only antidote if you want to counteract this kind of Spirit Poison."
The minister revealed a smirk on his face with a cold snort, "Hmph! The Herlock King must marry Princess Philomena to my son if he wants to save his queen will die of poison. I wouldn't believe that he is willing to watch his woman die. He will try his best to deliver Princess Philomena into our hands. After handing the Princess over to the Third Prince's men, I would be able to obtain the Empire's support. It would be simple for me to take this kingdom down by then."
The minister felt a surge in his heart. Now was the crucial part of the plan. The minister's son and Princess Philomena's wedding will take place in three days.
However, in reality, this was merely a plan. But once the plan succeeded, the minister could overthrow the royal family of Herlock and establish a new kingdom by himself. He would be the new Herlock King at that time, and everyone in Herlock would have to bend the knee. As for the means, he didn't care. He was willing to do anything so long as he could achieve his own goals.
Suddenly, someone came and immediately reported, "My Lord, a suspicious person has entered the Kingdom of Herlock."
"Suspicious person?"
"Yes, we found this person very suspicious when we investigated. Not only did he apply for the city entry permit today, but he has also been intentionally or unintentionally asking for information about you after entering the city."
"Asking for information about me? Probably he was sent to the Kingdom of Herlock by another kingdom?" The minister touched his beard with a glimmer of wickedness in his eyes.
"Yes, My Lord. We also suspect that the person is a spy from another country."
"A spy? Are you sure?"
"I cannot confirm, but the person is not from the Kingdom of Herlock. We haven't found any information about the person so far."
"Then let's deal with this person as the enemy kingdom's spy and capture him first!"
"Yes!"
The minister's brows gradually frowned after hearing his subordinate's conjecture. His expression changed, but he looked calm in the end. He has no turning back now. Even if the person was the enemy kingdom's spy, he didn't have any other choice.
The news of the Third Prince's arrival came from the outside. The minister hurriedly went out to welcome him. After the minister left, a figure slowly appeared from a hidden corner not far from the hall. It was Sade!
"The Kingdom of Herlock is very unlucky. The king wouldn't have expected that his minister wants to seize the throne." Sade's looked expressionless, with a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
He was restraining himself. He had never expected so many things going on here, even though he only came to check this place out and confirm his conjecture.
The minister's son was a pervert who liked to abuse. Philomena wanted to marry the minister's son due to the threat to her mother's life. The minister had caused Philomena's mother to be in danger of being poisoned. It was all a conspiracy created by the minister himself. The minister of the Kingdom of Herlock was plotting to seize the throne and be the king!
However, Sade didn't expect that the Third Prince of the Magic Empire was involved in this conspiracy. It was unbelievable. How could he do that?
One must know that the Magic Empire had strictly banned all Empire Princes from participating in the war between kingdoms. Once an Empire Prince was discovered, he would risk losing his identity as a prince. This surprised Sade.
However, it was even more unexpected that the minister's men had discovered his whereabouts. This was inconceivable. After all, he had just entered the Kingdom of Herlock today.
Could it be that the minister already had such powerful influence over the entire kingdom? The moment he stepped out of the potion shop today, Sade's spiritual power had already detected a few sneaky people following him. It was precisely why he deliberately strolled around the commercial district and the surrounding area - to see who these people were.
However, when they lost him and counter-followed them to their base, he was surprised to find that these people were the subordinates of his target, the minister of the Kingdom of Herlock.
He sighed in his heart, 'What a coincidence.'
However, just as Sade was climbing over the wall, he happened to bump into Bob, the minister's son, rushing out of the room. At the same time, the scene in that room made his heart tremble - broken limbs, the faint smell of corpses, and the young life long passed away. Seeing the devil's land where lives were trampled, Sade's heart was inconceivably shocked.
Although Sade was born in the King's Great Basin, he had long become indifferent to human life and death. Yet, the scene before him still shocked his heart. This was no longer something that humans could do.
Sade's expression became extremely cold. How could a human do such a cruel thing to another human? The scene before him was many times more brutal than killing a person directly. Sade only saw deep despair in the dead's eyes as he looked at the eyes that had lost their brilliance.
It was unforgivable!
