“Who are you?”
In fear, the crown prince, Albexus Star Vlonhard, stared at the masked assassins who had slipped into his room along with dozens of scattered bodies of his guards.
The assassins approached the crown prince. Knowing that the masked assassins must have had no good intentions towards him, the crown prince soon escaped through a secret passage behind his bed. However, the masked assassins remain steadfast in their pursuit of the poor crown prince.
“Srak.”
“Akh!”
One by one, arrows hit his body which made the crown prince injured until it was slower in moving. No, it was even worse because apparently the arrows hitting it contained poison. At one time, the crown prince was no longer able to maintain his footsteps are getting numb and eventually fell limp.
Albexus looked carefully at the faces of the masked assassins. Then quickly, a single slash from one of the masked assassins immediately ended the life of the crown prince of the Vlonhard Empire.
From behind the scenes, the head of the sacred temple of the sun-worshipping sect, Robell Zarkan, stared at the scene of the crown prince's death with an expression of satisfaction.
“Finally... Finally! One of the five hero parties I foretold managed to get rid of! Thus, the glory of Tower will be even closer! Hahahahahahaha.”
Laughter was heard echoing throughout the room. However, the room was so soundproofed about the application of magic that the disgusting laughter of the head of the sacred temple could not be heard outside.

“Hmm. The crown prince of the empire has died. Only four more people remained that became a huge hindrance to the Tower's plan. Two more are under that fucking surveillance. Now I can only get rid of the priest first.”
It was not Robell Zarkan who said it this time, but Magnus Slafonn, the head of the sacred temple of the star-worshipping sect found in Ignitia Kingdom, as if their bodies and minds were both fused together.
“But where did the goddamn priest go? Supposedly after the Rimuru Kingdom was destroyed, the priest was already within our grasp, but he could not be found anywhere. Even the entire place in the Kingdom of Ignitia that the average refugee from the Kingdom of Rimuru fled here, no existence of the priest figure was found as if he was swallowed into another dimension. Is there a place I missed?”
It seemed that the head of the holy shrine of the star worship sect thought so hard.
“You're looking for me, Monk Magnus?”
But suddenly, a woman figure who had come from nowhere approached him. The woman was wearing a white doctor suit.
“You? You... You?! Priest?! Why is it here?!”
“Isn't it too cruel that you engineered the destruction of one kingdom just for the sake of aiming for my life, Monk Magnus? But well, from the beginning how could you possibly understand what I mean huh? Since the devil has no sympathetic taste.”
“You... Akh!”
Not yet had time for Rahib Magnus to say further, his neck had been slashed first by the woman wearing a doctor's suit. However, his doctor's suit remained sparkling white without being hit by the slightest splash of blood from the head of the sacred temple he had killed.
The woman who had unceasingly killed the head of the sacred temple of the star worshiping sect was none other than Doctor Minerva, the doctor who was currently handling Talia's pregnancy.
“Learning the anatomy of the human body is very useful. That makes assasination much more efficient since we can figure out which part of the artery to slit first to cause an instant death that is very painful for the target.”
Doctor Minerva said while really looking at the corpse of the head of the holy temple with full interest, not to the individual, but to the anatomy of the human body itself. No, to the devil's man-like artificial body.
There was a blue glowing portal right behind Doctor Minerva. Doctor Minerva was apparently a portal user, a teleportation magic whose existence should still be far from the human civilization of that era as if she was from the future. That was apparently the reason why Doctor Minerva who should be in Painfinn City could be in the capital of the Ignitia Kingdom in an instant.

Elsewhere, something unexpected has been missed by the Monk Robell Zarkan.
From behind the shadows, a young man who no longer clearly visible form his face because it was filled with reptilian scales, carrying another young man with him. It was none other than the figure of Albexus Star Vlonhard, the crown prince of the Vlonhard Empire. And he's still alive.
What the masked killer cut down earlier was just a duplicate of a fake body made by the spooky-faced young man full of reptilian scales. The young man was clearly the one before along with the witch nightmare.

“What is really going on there? Why has Crown Prince Albexus not replied to my message?”
Tius Star Meglovia, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Meglovia, is seen being restless in his room because he has not received further news from the crown prince of the empire. In his uneasiness, he gazed deep into the sky from the window while pacing around in his room hoping for the arrival of a messenger bird that brought him the news he expected.
However, what he was waiting for did not come until the arrival of the moment where the meeting of the determination of the reprisal of the aggression of the Vlonhard Empire was decided. If so, it means that war can no longer be avoided.
- Stuck, tok.
“Your Majesty, the meeting is about to begin.”
“Oh, alright Swein. I'll be there soon.”
Thius came out of his room in an increasingly agitated state.

“Ouch!”
“Mrs! Are you okay?”
Talia accidentally dropped the teacup that still contained hot tea in her hand so that her delicate white skin was flushed red due to the heat of the spilled tea water.
Seeing that, Alice immediately approached Talia to ascertain the condition of the master.
He wiped Talia's hands flushed red from the hot water carefully using the handkerchief lying on the table. After that, Alice picked up the broken cup carefully scattered around Talia's leg sitting on the sofa.
“Mistress, I went out for a while, said Alice while carrying a handkerchief containing a broken cup in her hand about to throw it away.
”Guard, please call Doctor Minerva immediately to check on Mrs Talia's condition.”
Hearing Alice's words, Talia seemed to feel bad for having inconvenienced the people around her due to her carelessness.
“Alice, no need to call Doctor Minerva any. I'm doing fine. I'm just a little careless.”
However, responding to the needless worries of her overbearing employer, Alice simply smiled gently.
“It's okay, Mistress. Madam take it easy. We just run our errands.”
Thus, Alice was finally able to calm Talia down. However, Talia's expression still looked nervous.
“What's up, Mistress?”
To Alice's question, Talia shook her head.
“Hmm, nothing, Alice. I'm just suddenly worried about your sister Helios in the capital.”
“Your Highness Prince will definitely be fine there. Or let's replay the recording sent by His Highness the Prince this morning via television yuk, Madam.”
“Hmm.” Talia just nodded softly at Alice's invitation that was a sign of her agreement.
However, Talia felt that what made her heart suddenly feel uneasy was not just a mere longing. That's a bad feeling.
However, there was nothing the weak woman could do but pray for her husband's safe return.
“Mas Lou, I hope you will be fine wherever you are. Go home safely.” Pinta the weak woman sincerely.
