The Queen of Death Return
Commencement of Change

Juan began to be unable to feel his body, the thorny root that pierced his chest had expanded into a large thorn. It was impossible to remove it without adding a scar, it would be fatal if the thorn was pulled.

I'm really going to die this time.

Juan's vision began to blur, he looked towards Alissa who was surprised to see his actions.

[Surprised to see your stupidity, wanting to quickly get away from this place.]

Juan smirked after reading the information.

Haha, you damned ability. Maybe my life would be at peace if this curse didn't exist.

An instant feeling of comfort enveloped Juan, the warmth of the family, as well as good relations with his brother continued to intertwine.

*bruk!

Juan fell face down, his chest shattered as his body hit the floor.

The thorny root was suddenly cut off. The guy who cut it was Danny Hart. His movements were so fast that Rose who was in that place could barely keep up with him.

"Damn! Verena's magic is so hard to detect, I really hate the woman's ability" Danny said with an annoyed look.

Rose felt the same way. It was very difficult to detect where those thorny roots would appear. But, the maid was still confused as to why Juan saved her.

A terrifying aura instantly spread throughout the arena. The three prospective successors immediately bent their knees because they could not control their bodies.

"Shameful!" karman shouted with a resounding voice.

Maximus Hart seemed upset that he was not involved but also affected.

"It really tarnishes the Hart family's good name" said Alissa, who still hugs Rose.

Verena continued to look towards Rose with an annoyed expression, yet she tried to hold back the already heightened emotions.

"I'm sorry for the irreverence of my children, Miss Alissa." Karman stood up and directly lowered his head.

Everyone was shocked to see Karman humbling himself.

Verena clicked, she prepared a magic circle under her feet. It was a magic that was similar to teleportation, yet could only send it within a certain distance.

"Creeping Roots." That's the name of the magic.

A while after, Verena grinned along with the body that started to enter the magic circle.

I don't have to dirty my hands just for lowly maids. I'll give you a worthy opponent, just wait.

Verena left that place.

"Miss Alissa, I will pay for this incident, especially the one just now. My daughter can't think clearly."

Karman's words are inversely proportional to what's on his mind.

I don't want to interfere, my three future successors seem to find a way to raise their value in front of me.

Karman raised his index finger slightly, shortly after Kevin Hart, the butler appeared next to him carrying a small box.

Kevin Hart drops into the arena on Karman's orders. He handed the little box to them. Rose got up from Alissa's arms and immediately accepted it.

"That's the best thing I have. I hope you like it." After speaking, Karman glanced at the sword Danny was using.

He is a little surprised to see Danny wielding a sword that is a family heirloom.

Danny's a very calculating man, he wouldn't have pulled out that sword if things didn't threaten him. The biggest possibility is to wait for a big fight.

Due to chaos, the selection exam was postponed. Karman walked back out of the arena. He seemed happy because the results obtained were not far from his estimate.

Danny gets close to Alissa, but Rose gets in the way.

"It's enough to get there, Mr. Danny, I'm not gonna let you get close to the Prime Minister."

Danny seemed annoyed to see Rose, but he tried to hold back that feeling.

He really is a brash maid.

For a moment, he agreed with Verena.

Various ways must be done in order to gain the trust of Rose. Alissa doesn't seem to mind it, but Rose's job is to take care of her. Danny thinks that Alissa herself deliberately let Rose be tough.

To ease the mood, Danny stuck his sword in. And the way it worked, Rose relaxed her guard a little.

"I'm not gonna do anything suspicious."

Rose looked at Danny. He had lowered the guard, it was an attempt to intimidate him, but he knew that Danny would not be affected.

Danny extended his right hand to Alissa. There was no doubt on his face, he was very confident talking to the woman.

"Let him, Rose." Alissa with her charisma walked towards Danny. "Nothing is more important than a deal."

Danny smiled as he pushed the middle of his glasses. "I'm happy with you being frank."

Although Danny is the most suspicious of the three, Rose still appreciates his intentions for daring to go forward to offer a deal to Alissa.

Huh uh?

Rose sensed a stream of foreign Mana trying to enter her body. He intended to reject it, but this Mana stream did not contain any magic or anything dangerous. In some instances, it is used as a request for the transmission of thoughts.

Trying to speak through my mind, she must have the item.

[Beware of him.] It sounded a little hoarse and heavy, but it didn't sound like Karman Hart.

Rose's attention was immediately drawn to the large-bodied man who walked out of the arena shortly after the communication was cut off.

"To be honest, this isn't a lucrative deal for you" Danny said.

Alissa narrowed her eyes, staring with a disappointed expression. However, he still wanted to listen to Danny's explanation. The woman nodded to let Danny speak.

"I know about the current attack on Emperor Annatasya."

*crack!

The magical thread immediately wrapped around Danny's neck until his skin wrinkled.

"Your head will disappear if you act any further." Rose was visibly enraged with an extremely extraordinary killing intent.

Danny was a little surprised by the tiny fangs seen from between the woman's lips. He smiled slightly after concluding the reason this maid became strong.

"It's amazing." Alissa's expression changed, she was intrigued by Danny's words.

"I have another ability called The Marionette. With that I can control a person and see through his eyes."

Danny didn't tell the main skill that triggered The Marionette to be active.

Alissa smiled, impressed by Danny's ability. "Even if we can't detect an intruder, I'm impressed with your skill." Alissa raised her hand low and ordered Rose to release the snare on Danny's neck.

"Miss Alissa, I'll do whatever you want, but, please protect me from the other heirs" asked Danny who also lowered his head.

With Danny's current ability, he can't excel in terms of strength from the other two. Even his main ability could not do much, his sword technique did not develop, he was at a small point between the two puddles.

Therefore he made use of his ability to bring people to his side. He excels at relationships.

"Do you have no desire to be the Head of the Family?" ask Alissa.

Danny replied, "I really want to take that position. However, this is very heavy with my current strength."

"What about Karman Hart?"

Danny was a little hesitant about his father. In the unwritten rules, those who managed to win the scramble, then the current Head of the Family would be his last opponent.

Since this was unofficial, the winning or losing winner would still be the next Head of the Family. However, a confession would not be obtained if it lost against the previous Head of the Family.

"Even I'm not sure I can win against Karman Hart" Alissa said.

"For that we must unite all forces." Danny still looks unsure of his words.

"It just adds to the casualties from our side. Karman is very strong, I clearly feel his power."

Hearing Alissa Hart say that, Danny felt annoyed, as if it was impossible to make him the next Head of the Family.

"But I'm not saying we can't beat him, are we?"

Danny finds a glimmer of hope from Alissa's statement.

Alissa raised her index finger towards Danny, and continued saying, "You have to prove your worthiness, Danny Hart."

"Ease?"

One of the soldiers came in a hurry. Danny looks upset that the soldier came at an inappropriate moment.

"The emergency! Imperial Soldiers have already surrounded this residence!" shouted the soldier.

"This fast?" Danny looked a little surprised.

Danny's choice will decide his fate in the future. However, whatever his choice, he prepared with all the risks, as the trump card was in his hand.

The man's eyes kept glancing at the sword he had struck earlier.
