Chapter 889: Chapter 469: Rat Hole_1

"You intentionally clashed with him? You know Suhebaru’s temperament very well, and you must have had a chance to stop his recklessness beforehand."

Saintess slowly nodded: "I have analyzed that Owen Bertram is the powerful minister behind the rapid rise of the Wood Dynasty, his outwardly gentle but inwardly firm character. As long as he dislikes me, he will definitely not follow their emperor’s orders to compete for becoming my husband. I am clearing the biggest obstacle for the princes."

The old woman nodded: "You have always been very smart."

Unmoved by this praise, Saintess then asked, "Have the princes sent anyone?"

The old woman laughed, and when she laughed, she looked even more sinister: "Of course they have. The Wood People always think they’re smart, thinking they can cheat without getting caught, hehehe."

"The four princes have secretly sent their trusted ministers to express their admiration for the Saintess and offer generous conditions. I won’t tell you about each one, but it’s about the future position of the Queen and such."

"Following Saintess’s instructions, I told each person that Saintess was also smitten with their master, hehehe, and then I leaked the content of this marriage selection test to them."

Saintess of the Ice Plains nodded: "You did very well."

The old woman glanced at her and suddenly said gloomily: "Just don’t forget, you are the Saintess of the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region first, and then the disciple of the National Master of Sang Island."

Saintess glanced at her coldly: "I don’t need you to remind me! I will start practicing now. You can leave."

The old woman bowed and left the room. In the moment she turned around, the corner of her mouth revealed a faint cold smile. Did Saintess really think that the Great Chieftain would trust her completely?

Saintess had her own ideas, but over these days, under the cover of Saintess’ Radiance, the old woman, one of the six great "Witch Priests" of the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region, had also successfully carried out the secret orders of the Great Chieftain.

Verna returned to her residence and immediately washed the copper spoon carefully by herself. Owen Bertram watched, and this was just a very ordinary spoon that had been used for many years and left many ancient traces.

But that night, Verna used the spoon and a big pot to cook rice. After the first pot was cooked and dished out, there was actually another half pot! The three of them ate so much dinner that Maria lay flat on the ground, moaning for a long time.

However, Verna tried hard to pull her up: "Stop lying down, you’ll gain weight. Come to the backyard with me; we have important things to do."

Maria and Owen Bertram almost simultaneously looked at Tabitha’s round figure, their hearts filled with question marks: gain weight?

Elder Brother stopped Alexia: "What are you going to do in the backyard again?"

The backyard was full of weeds. They had stayed in this yard during their last visit to the Capital. The yard was a property confiscated by the Horizon Bureau from a convicted official, and it had been neglected. When Mr. Bertram came last time, Andrew Oamond had someone clean it up temporarily, but they didn’t have time to clear the backyard. Verna caught a delicious little black snake in the backyard last time, so before leaving, she seriously instructed Uncle Oamond not to tidy up the backyard and let it remain wild.

Andrew naturally didn’t dare to disobey.

Verna had been thinking about going back to the backyard to hunt for treasure when she returned to the Capital, hoping to find a second little black snake. At Elder Brother’s question, Verna answered seriously: "To find something delicious."

Maria immediately understood Verna’s intention, and her frightened little face turned pale, she curled up her body: "I won’t go, I won’t go, Mistress, please spare me..."

As an elder brother and the head of a household with a high family status, Elder Brother had to uphold justice and prevent Verna’s behavior from harming others. However, Elder Brother felt, "Maria, Tabitha is also doing this for your good. When you become a Grandmaster in the future, you will face various demons and ghosts. If you are such a coward, won’t you run away when you meet a snake demon?"

So, Elder Brother caught Maria from behind, grabbed her collar, and handed her over to Verna. As Maria pleaded pitifully, Verna dragged her towards the desolate backyard.

Elder Brother laughed and began to deal with official business. On one hand, there were some important decisions from the Summit Command Office and East Prison Town Comfort Office that required Elder Brother’s approval; on the other hand, there was the Capital Horizon Bureau’s investigation into the Saintess of North Ice.

Andrew Oamond came to report: "The Saintess of North Ice always seemed indifferent, but some of the people around her come from different tribes of the Northern Region. They must have their own agendas, and in these days, they have secretly contacted the aides of the four princes."

The information he presented detailed these secret contacts; truly, the Horizon Bureau was omnipresent in the Capital.

There were two other people in the room, Glenn Mitchell and Wayne Malvin. Wayne suddenly said, "I took some time to go home and heard some news. The Second Prince and the Saintess of North Ice admire each other. The Second Prince promised the position of the future Empress to the Saintess of North Ice, and the Saintess of North Ice guaranteed that the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region would fully support the Second Prince in his succession to the throne."

The other three looked at Wayne Malvin, who spread his hands and said, "Considering the results of Andrew’s surveillance, isn’t the reality clear at a glance?"

Among them, only Glenn Mitchell was still puzzled: what was so clear at a glance? Should he also show a sudden realization like them, or would it seem that he was not fitting in, or... too stupid?
