Chapter 799: Chapter 310: Instant Kill_2

You may resent and speak against Austin’s wild ambitions, claiming he’s a treacherous minister and a rebel, but you can’t fail to express yourself. After all, there are so many people present, the new ruler might not remember who proclaimed their loyalty, but will definitely remember who didn’t.

Even if he doesn’t remember, there are plenty of snitches ready to report.

"Before the Queen returns, no one is permitted to leave or to make contact with the outside world!" Austin threatened with a dark expression.

"We will follow your command."

"..."

Austin looked emotionlessly at this group of vermin, wishing he could draw Twilight Deadlock and finish them all off, as he imperceptibly swelled with arrogance and began to comprehend the Queen’s difficulties.

Centralize power!

We must centralize power!

Otherwise, the nation will eventually perish!

------------

Magical Department Headquarters, East District Side Hall.

The Magical Department Headquarters covers an extensive area, comprising several large office buildings, a museum, a theater, and high-end restaurants, resembling a massive estate.

Each high-ranking official has their independent office building, and Minister Sophia has the most. Apart from the grand banquet hall from before, she enjoys ultra-luxurious office buildings in all four cardinal directions.

Like this white palace in front of me with a classic architectural style, it’s Sophia’s private villa, where she occasionally resides when working overtime.

Therefore, the rumors about Austin’s nocturnal visits to the Magical Department Headquarters to discuss national affairs with the Queen did not emerge from thin air—at least the crime scene was established.

Inside the hall, which was brightly lit and lavishly decorated, two distinct sides were clearly discernible.

On the left side of the sofa sat Prince Edward and his fiancée, Carol Bourbon, flanked by four black-suited bodyguards.

On the right side were Princess Elizabeth and her fiancé, Alisa Romanov, backed by Princess Knight Juno and two stiff-looking maids.

Tonight’s banquet was called by the Queen herself, who reclaimed all delegated powers. The Queen was the sole protagonist; the Princess and Prince had nothing to do with it, and there was no need for their attendance.

But the Queen had still ordered them to be summoned.

Douglas meant for tonight to mark the official return of the Prince to the Windsor family, bringing a surprise to his children at the earliest opportunity.

He had also called for the future sons and daughters-in-law to join, as they were all family.

Queen Sophia did not object; indeed, this was the rationale, and the two groups confronted each other here.

"My dear sister, Mother has actually let you out. Tsk, tsk, you truly are the beloved one, despite your undeniable connection to Mr. Allen’s disappearance, the deputy minister."

After a moment of silence, Edward looked at his fiancée, Carol, for a cue and opened fire first.

While speaking, he glanced at Princess Knight Juno instead of the delicate doll-like figure on the sofa.

"My dear brother, you’ve attended many events and ceremonies with Mother recently—you’re already forging ahead. There’s no need to continue mocking me."

Elizabeth spoke slowly, a smile in her eyes, "As someone who’s been through it, I’ll give you a piece of advice. A victor should have the modesty of a victor. Belittling the defeated won’t make you seem stronger; it’ll only make you look narrow-minded. Think about it, have I ever mocked you?"

In terms of eloquence, the Prince, who prided himself on being a brute, was obviously no match for the Princess. He seemed to know this too, shrugging his shoulders to his fiancée, indicating he had tried his best.

Carol rolled her eyes. Edward had been suppressed by Elizabeth for too long, complacently settling in some aspects; in terms of ambition, he was far behind Elizabeth.

As the Prince’s fiancée, Carol didn’t have the right to judge the Princess, but it was within her purview to reprimand the Princess Knight.

She cleared her throat, ready to reclaim some ground for her betrothed.

Hisss!

A Spatial Fissure tore open, and the pale, bloodless, two-meter-tall Douglas made his entrance, clutching Queen Sophia in his grasp.

The Queen had set her teleportation destination to her children’s office building, planning to bring them to a safe location at the first opportunity—it just made it easier for Douglas, who had the same idea.

Sophia’s face was covered by a pallid large hand, her head throbbing from the tightening grip, preventing her from speaking. Through the gaps between the fingers, she signaled her children to escape quickly.

"The Devil?!"

"Disgusting thing, keep your claws away from the Queen!"

Edward and Juno cried out together, choosing not to flee but ordering the maids and bodyguards to surround the Devil.

Neither realized that this Devil/disgusting thing was their biological father. Although they couldn’t figure out how he had infiltrated the tightly guarded Magical Department Headquarters, they had decided instantly to fight.

From the perspective of family, no child would abandon their mother; politically, fleeing now would essentially announce the end of their political career; and for their personal safety, the Magical Department Headquarters was not lacking in powerful individuals—stalling the Devil would be considered a great merit.

"Disgusting thing, hehehe..."

Douglas was deeply hurt by the words of Edward and Juno.

Anyone who took a moment to reflect on their appearance would realize it was all a misunderstanding. Douglas, clearly bereft of reason, only knew that these two were Austin’s children, and in his fury, he raised one hand, his fingers transforming into claws.

Swish!

A ferocious gale raged through, and the impressive wind pressure instantly shattered half of the office building. Five visible wind blades rapidly expanded, cutting through the air, tearing open the floor tiles, and in the blink of an eye reached the protective barrier enveloping the Magical Department Headquarters, leaving five claw marks behind.

Amidst the ruins, Edward and Carol shielded their four bodyguards in front of them, Elizabeth protected Alisa, who was in male disguise, and only Juno stood at the forefront with two maids.
