“The Bell Family has been supporting you all these years, and they are offering money for you to inherit the throne. Do you think I’m unaware of this?” The king’s voice turned icy, despite his ongoing recovery. His regal presence and authority remained undiminished.

Upon hearing the king’s words, the Eldest Prince realized that he had lost his composure. He bowed and attempted to explain, “Dear father, Earl Bell has always been dedicated to the royal family. He is your long-time friend, and you know him to be loyal.”

The King scoffed. “Loyalty? Is it to me or to you?”

He couldn’t fathom Earl Bell betraying him. However, observing the haughty expression on the Eldest Prince’s face and recalling the minister’s remarks from the other day when he had fainted, the king realized that everyone desired the Eldest Prince to ascend the throne. No one was concerned with saving him.

Taking a deep breath, the king glanced at Loya, her head bowed. She had no way out, and he was her only means of escape. Consequently, she would exert every effort to save him.

“Loya, lead the guards to raid the Bell Family. Once you gather conclusive evidence, there’s no need to report back to me. A portion of their assets will be distributed as compensation to the victims of the poisoning, while the remainder will be allocated to the national treasury. Earl Bell’s immediate family shall face execution to provide the public with an explanation.” Excitedly responding to the king’s command, Loya replied, “Understood!”

The Eldest Prince was about to interject, but Loya halted him. “Elder Brother, Father has only just recovered. You wouldn’t want him to become agitated again, would you?”

“It’s all because of you!” The First Prince gritted his teeth.

Yet Loya paid no mind. She respectfully bowed and departed, leaving behind a provocative smile. Aware of the king’s temperament, the Eldest Prince refrained from further pleas for mercy. Instead, he swiftly left, attempting to contact the Bell Family in a bid to save some lives.

Word soon spread that Earl Bell had colluded with the rebel army and contaminated the empire’s supplies.

However, a solitary figure discreetly removed her glasses and wiped away tears. This was the girl whose sister had tragically passed away.

Liao Ning passed her a tissue and asked with concern, “How are you holding up? Has your sister’s family sorted everything out?”

Taking the tissue, the girl shook her head, her tears flowing even more.

Not pressing for more information when she remained silent, Liao Ning refrained from prying. However, just as Liao Ning was about to leave, the girl suddenly halted her.

“Lady Liao, I appreciate what you did earlier. I hope you can help me uncover the truth, so I can find peace before I die.”

Confusion filled Liao Ning’s gaze as she looked at her. Suddenly, a faint red glow flickered in her eyes, and within seconds, the guards opened the door to the live-stream room. “Bell Minnie, your family has been identified as traitors to the empire. All members of the Bell Family are to be taken into custody. Arrest her!”

“What are you doing? She has been within the castle, innocent of any wrongdoing!” Liao Ning tried to argue with the guards, but her efforts were in vain.

In the end, she could only watch as the little girl was apprehended, her eyes filled with fear and sorrow.

While others among the staff were engrossed in their discussion, Liao Ning slumped into a chair, overcome with exhaustion. Suddenly, she felt something in her pocket. She reached inside and discovered a small, square object.

[Ding! System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the dangerous mission. The mission reward has been delivered. Please check it.]

Startled, Liao Ning wondered if this small object could be the system’s reward, perhaps containing a mysterious clue about the Planet Dynasty.

Before she could examine it further, Loya walked into the room, dressed impeccably.

Adorned in an aqua-blue gown embellished with diamond-studded shoulders and matching aqua-blue gems adorning her head, Loya exuded elegance. Even her silk gloves were adorned with aqua-blue diamonds.

She stood gracefully before the camera, casting a glance at Liao Ning and speaking in an oddly-toned voice, “I have to attend to my father’s needs, receive reports from the ministers, and capture the traitors. Don’t you find it tiring, Lady Liao? You’re merely preparing in the live-stream room, and yet you seem too fatigued to stand?”

The nearby staff began showering her with flattery.

“Your Highness, I’ve heard of your involvement in politics. You’re the first princess in the history of the Planet Dynasty.”

“Yes, you’ve worked tirelessly. You haven’t fully recovered from the poisoning.

We are fortunate to have such a dedicated princess.”

“Thank goodness you discovered the traitor; otherwise, many more lives would have been lost within the empire..”
