Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Chapter 907 THE FINAL INGREDIENT

"WE HAVE a new emperor."

Glenn was surprised to hear that from Skylus.

After the prayer rally that his son led with Lord Manu and Dion Skelton, Emperor Nikolai sent the Royal Archmage to the Exton Estate to pick up Glenn, Brigitte, and Monik.

Hence, his family was now back in the safety of the Imperial Palace.

[Brigitte has already used her new ability to take care of the Second Calamity, so my wife can leave the Exton Estate for now. But she may have to return there later for the remaining time of her pregnancy. However, right now, the safest place for my family is the Imperial Palace under the protection of His Imperial Majesty.]

"But we have to evacuate the people in the palace, Daddy."

"Huh?" Glenn asked, surprised. "Evacuate them? Why?"

Skylus' eyes glowed. "Prince Nero– no, Emperor Nero's complete Moonglow would cause an explosion once he's out of the throne room. We'll be fine because Monik Noona can use her barrier to protect us, but the regular servants in the palace might get hurt."

Glenn immediately got up from his seat. "Then I'll inform His Imperial Majesty about this right away–"

"No!"

Everyone in the room was surprised when Monik, who was sitting on Brigitte's lap, suddenly screamed.

Glenn got nervous when he saw Monik's eyes glowing.

[She's looking at a vision… and it doesn't look like good news.]

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" Brigitte asked their daughter nervously. "What did you see? You can tell us and we'll stop it from happening."

As expected, even his wife knew their daughter's premonition this time was bad.

"Claude is in danger!" Monik cried, her eyes still glowing brightly. "Daddy, you must return to our kingdom and save our brother!"

Glenn and Brigitte both stiffened.

He was sure that both he and his wife's hearts just dropped to the floor after hearing Monik's vision.

This was all his fault.

[I shouldn't have let Claude stay in the kingdom alone…]

"The crows are there," Skylus added, his eyes glowing again. "But don't worry, Daddy, Mommy, Noona– we have a strong ally who just arrived there."

Monik stopped crying at the same time her eyes also stopped glowing. "My vision already ended…"

It was probably because Monik's foundation as a saintess wasn't as solid as Skylus' who had received the Moon God's blessing.

"It's alright, sweetheart," Brigitte consoled their daughter, kissing the top of Monik's head. "You did well."

Monik gave her mother a small smile as if she was shy.

"Good job, sweetie," Glenn said to Monik, smiling to hide his worries. When his daughter only smiled and nodded, he turned to Skylus with a little more seriousness on his face. The fact that Skylus looked calm also put him at ease. "Son, did you say we have a strong ally who just arrived there? Are they going to save your brother and protect the kingdom?"

"Uhm, the ally in question doesn't really care about Claude and our kingdom, unfortunately…"

Now Glenn, Brigitte, and even Monik looked confused.

"We can't really trust him, but we can trust his love for Neoma noona's loyal lap dog– I mean, friend," Skylus said, clearing his throat. "He won't let Claude die because he knows it would upset Neoma noona."

Ah.

Glenn, Brigitte, and Monik immediately realized who Skylus was talking about because Princess Neoma only had one faithful dog by her side (Lewis excluded because Lewis was under the "son" category).

Which got him thinking…

[Why is Princess Neoma surrounded by crazy bastards?]

***

TREVOR acted like he was throwing up after seeing Regina Crowell and that annoying sorcerer obsessed with being his brother. "When you only took a stroll to a neighboring kingdom to pick up some ingredients, but then you suddenly realized you ended up in a wasteland full of trash…" He clicked his tongue while shaking his head. "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."

He just spoke the "meme language" that he learned from the modern world.

No wonder Regina Crowell and the crazy sorcerer were looking up at him as if he had lost his mind.

Well, at least he felt better to see those damned crows looking up at him and not the other way around. It couldn't be helped because he was standing on top of the Hazelden Kingdom's royal palace's giant gate. But, to be fair, he landed then on purpose.

"I thought you would follow Princess Neoma to hell," Regina Crowell said indifferently. "I'm surprised you can function even without your beloved princess, Trevor Kesser."

Trevor scoffed. "Of course, this is what you call the power of love."

Regina Crowell laughed. "I didn't know the power of UNREQUITED love is that strong. Should I pin for Rubin Drayton to gain more power?"

Wow.

That hit a nerve.

[Should I kill this bitch?]

"Oh, come on, Brother," the crazy sorcerer whose name Trevor didn't want to remember said, laughing at Trevor. "Just give up on Princess Neoma. Even our side knows that Princess Neoma is in a relationship with the new commander of the White Lion Knights– argh!"

Dilan Crowell.

Right, that was the crazy sorcerer's name.

Trevor remembered after he ripped Dilan Crowell's heart out of his chest, causing the crazy sorcerer to cough up a huge chunk of blood.

Ah, yes.

Trevor just did that.

And he only needed three seconds to jump off the gate, approach Dilan Crowell like an apex predator, and stab his hand through the crazy sorcerer's chest.

It only looked easy because he was Trevor Kesser.

But not anyone could simply walk towards a powerful sorcerer like Dilan Crowell and break all the sturdy layers of barrier he covered himself with as protection.

Unfortunately for Dilan Crowell, Trevor was one hundred times stronger than him.

Hence, breaking the barriers and spells that Dilan Crowell created to protect his heart and Core was just like breaking a fragile glass for Trevor.

[I should have done this earlier.]

"Dylan!" Regina Crowell, who snapped out of her shock, screamed. "Trevor Kesser, you crazy bastard."

"Don't move," Trevor warned Regina Crowell coldly. "I'll kill you if you move an inch."

Fortunately for Regina Crowell, Trevor needed her alive.

It seemed like Regina Crowell also noticed that, but it didn't matter because Regina Crowell also knew that Trevor could change his mind at any given moment. Hence, the wench remained frozen where she stood.

"You're a strong sorcerer, so you're going to live for a while even without your heart," Trevor said while he was using his Mana to create a cube made of ice to store Dilan Crowell's heart. "You should sleep in the meantime, "Brother.""

Dilan Crowell could only glare at Trevor as his body fell to the floor, his consciousness fading away.

But the crazy sorcerer's body didn't stay long on the ground.

Bookworm, the monster "worm" always wrapped around Trevor, crawled down until it reached Dilan Crowell.

Regina Crowell, who was strong enough to see the Bookworm, watched the next thing that happened in horror: the Bookworm opened its big and disgusting mouth with a set of tiny yet sharp teeth, and then the Bookworm swallowed Dilan Crowell like how a snake would gobble up a small animal.

"Did you do that to Dilan just because he made fun of you for having an unrequited love for Princess Neoma?"

"Do you think I'm that petty?"

"Yes."

Ouch.

Trevor just shrugged it off.

It was true anyway.

But, fortunately, he calmed down after seeing Dilan Crowell get gobbled up by the Bookworm.

[God, I really am petty.]

"Princess Neoma ordered me to kill Dilan Crowell, but it's a shame to kill him right away so I'll keep him alive for now."

"Dilan is still alive?"

"Yeah, but he'll be in pain as soon as he wakes up," Trevor said, shrugging. "The Bookworm's stomach is full of acid, after all. Since Dilan Crowell's body is covered with protective spells, he wouldn't melt right away. But how long do you think his barriers would last against the Bookworm's acid when he's sleeping peacefully there?"

Regina Crowell's face darkened, her green eyes glowing menacingly. "You acted like Dilan Crowell is on the same level as you before, but all this time, you're capable of killing him in just a span of a few seconds?"

"Well, I'm not that motivated to kill Dilan Crowell before. After all, as a sorcerer, it's kind of fun to watch another promising sorcerer," he explained casually. "But things already changed because my Moon Princess asked me to kill that crazy sorcerer."

"Has the princess been revived already?"

"No," Trevor said, looking at Regina Crowell meaningfully. "Not yet."

Regina Crowell, whose intelligence was praised by both Princess Neoma and Princess Hanna, fell silent for a moment before pulling herself together. "You need my ability to bring the Imperial Princess back."

Bingo.

"Don't get me wrong, though," he warned her. "I'm not here to negotiate with you– I'm here to get what I need from you and I don't care whether you agree or not."

Regina Crowell suddenly burst out laughing.

"Yep, that's it," Trevor said, nodding. "You should at least be that level of crazy to be worthy of being called Princess Neoma's archnemesis."

"The older Princess Neoma from the first timeline was right."

Okay, that was pretty shocking to hear.

[And it doesn't look like this bitch is lying.]

Trevor knitted his eyebrows. "You met Princess Neoma of the first timeline? When?"

"Just recently," Regina Crowell said, smiling haughtily. "Should we work together this time?"
