Chapter 473: Chapter 211: What goes around comes around, who can be spared by the heavens?_2

Megan: (눈‸눈)

"Hehe, that kind of talk can only deceive women. Tell me the truth, do you have other women at home..."

"Fine, you say the teacher is dumb, fooled by my innocent appearance, to really think I’m a good student. Just wait, I’ll tell the teacher later and faithfully relay your assessment," Wayne interrupted directly.

Austin’s expression darkened, Hefei really wasn’t very smart, she actually proposed marriage to him yesterday.

So eager to push your daughter into a pit, can’t you consider your younger self?

Not a single lesson learned!

"See, you’ve run out of words, haven’t you?"

"Quit stirring up trouble in front of me. You can speak, I can speak too, and in the end, only you will be the unlucky one,"

Austin said irritably, "Enough nonsense. There’s been trouble with the Queen..."

"What happened?"

Wayne’s expression became serious, and he probed, "I saw you rushing out last night; is the Queen’s health failing?"

"The Queen’s health is excellent. When she scolds people, she’s full of vigor. She could live another hundred years without a problem!"

"Princess Elizabeth is really in a pitiful situation; she has to wait another hundred years."

Wayne laughed, what goes around comes around, who has the heavens spared? That someone avenged your grudge for you.

"Stop the nonsense, I speak, you listen, don’t interrupt me."

Austin clenched the ancient silver coin fiercely, inadvertently allowing the topic to be derailed by the little trashcan.

Wayne promptly shut his mouth and Austin took a deep breath and said, "To the west of Lundan is a royal autonomous town named Windsor, less than 40 kilometers from Buckingham Palace. The Queen often spends her weekends at Windsor Castle..."

"Just last night, Windsor Castle was attacked by unidentified persons. The Holy Light Knights suffered heavy losses, and Saint George’s Church was pillaged."

"Wait a second!"

Wayne interrupted, "There’s a church of Heavenly Father’s Court in Windsor Castle, along with a squad of the Holy Light Knights. Did I hear wrong, or did you misspeak?"

"There’s no mistake. The Royal Family once tried to divide Heavenly Father’s Court. Although unsuccessful, they did achieve some results," Austin said.

"If you think it doesn’t make sense, you can consider the members of the Knight Order to be Liberty Mages. They are loyal to the Royal Family, and the Knight Order’s leader is also from the Tulip Family."

Wayne suddenly understood. He knew this history but had not expected the Windsor Royal Family to be so assertive in incorporating the Holy Light faith into the Liberty Mage Alliance.

"Saint George’s Church has treasures collected by the Queen, each worth a fortune. The Queen, furious as a thunderstorm, ordered the Magic Department to thoroughly investigate the matter."

"Is it just the treasures?"

Wayne was skeptical. If it were just treasures, the Windsor Royal Family, being rich and powerful, wouldn’t have become this angry. Instead, they would have taken the chance to settle accounts.

Therefore, the stolen items must be far from ordinary.

Austin closed his eyes and after a long while said, "Although the Queen didn’t specify, several high-ranking officials of the Magic Department have guessed it—the seven Demon King Containers prepared by the Royal Family were stolen. All seven containers guarded by the Holy Light Knights were taken without a single one remaining."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss——"

Wayne gasped, although Austin had warned him, having it really confirmed still made his scalp tingle.

The Royal Family had dealings with devils, they’ve been on familiar terms with Hell for many years.

He spoke rapidly, "Who has such audacity? Could it be someone from Heavenly Father’s Court?"

"No. Judging from the traces left at the scene and what Knight Order leader Herman mentioned, the intruders are devils from Hell..."

Austin looked at Wayne, "Of the two devils you mentioned, neither clashed with the Death Knights. One attacked Windsor Castle, standing against the Magic Department."

"Why would that be?"

Wayne was utterly confused, "Devils not bothering with the Death Knights, I can understand that. They can’t beat the Death Knights on Earth. In this situation, devils should ally with the Magic Department, promise benefits to lure Legendary Mages, and oppose the Royal Family. What good does it do them?"

An enemy is not enough, they attract hatred and make another enemy; are devils that brave?

Or do they simply fear not dying fast enough and wish to descend to Hell as soon as possible?

"No one knows what the devils are thinking. Perhaps they intend to blackmail the Royal Family with the containers. Logically and emotionally, the Seven Demon Kings’ containers could serve as a trump card, but they shouldn’t be exposed. Once news of the Royal Family’s dealings with devils spreads, the Royal Family would be very passive," Austin said, his face serious.

The passivity stems from international tensions; Windsor has long been offensive in its offshore balancing strategies, nauseating other countries.

Where there’s noise, there’s Windsor.

Other nations, like Frank with its century-old friendship, will surely stand on moral high ground and relentlessly criticize Windsor at the first opportunity.

International tensions are just one aspect; the real pressure comes from Heavenly Father’s Court.

Austin could imagine how delighted the Pope would be upon learning of this.

Listening to Austin analyze the stakes with reason and order, making Wayne continuously shake his head. Some things, insignificant when not weighed, feel a thousand pounds heavy once put on the scale.

He wryly said, "The Royal Family has shot itself in the foot. Although the news hasn’t spread, the Legendary Mages all know about it. From now on, not just Lundan—Windsor will be in disarray."

Considering the temperaments of the Legendary Mages, although the Royal Family has been secretly harboring the containers for the Seven Demon Kings, they couldn’t publicize it and could only conduct their research in private.

Now that the Royal Family’s secret is out, the Legendary Mages have no concerns for their backsides; if caught, they won’t be afraid. As the saying goes, ’the laws of the royals apply equally to the commoners.’ If the Queen isn’t punished, they’re innocent."

It’s indeed quite amusing, but Wayne couldn’t bring himself to laugh; sitting across from Austin, with furrowed brows, it was as if they were looking into a mirror, separated by only an ancient silver coin.
