Chapter 944: Chapter 486 Aries witch_2

"What should I do? Now that the superior knights of the Yodo Family are returning to the city, but are they truly a match for that witch?"

The Yodo Family’s time in Alsace has been too short; they still haven’t had the chance to use the resources of Alsace Kingdom to create a few Knight Marquises for their own family.

Currently, there are only a few superior knights who have the opportunity to become Knight Marquises.

Ivita chuckled lightly and dispelled her Transforming Spell. "I would advise against making a move, whether you’re planning to have someone steal her high-level magical artifacts or you want to assemble a group of superior knights to assassinate her."

"Although a typical Witch Marquis’s Dark Soul does not possess the magical power to call white black and black white, it’s hard to say with that one. If she possesses a Dark Soul of that caliber, no number of knights would be useful." Ivita pondered for a moment, then dismissed her own view. "If there were enough Knight Marquises, perhaps it would indeed be possible to assassinate her by suppressing her with an Evil Qi Domain at the moment she uses her magic, but it would require at least ten or more Knight Marquises, and the element of surprise."

Earl Yodo looked at Ivita with confusion. "Who are you?"

"Why did no butler or servant notify me of the arrival of an esteemed guest, and how could there be so many Knight Marquises within Yodo City? It would take the combined effort of the entire Alsace Kingdom to muster such a number."

"You previously sent me a carrier pigeon, telling me you wouldn’t betray the nation, yet now you do not recognize me?" Ivita sat down comfortably in a wicker chair with ease and looked at Earl Yodo. "Where is the item I asked for?"

Earl Yodo’s face changed drastically, looking at Ivita with alarm and uncertainty. "You... no, are you Your Majesty?"

"Ivita Your Majesty?"

Ivita nodded.

Earl Yodo furrowed his brow and hurriedly said, "That witch cast magic on the road in front of my residence. Your entrance would undoubtedly alert her. Your Majesty, you have been too rash. This city is under the influence of a Frankish witch, and even I cannot fully guarantee my own safety."

Ivita simply said, "You cannot fully guarantee your own safety?"

Earl Yodo nodded. "Indeed, that’s the case. Therefore, Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to be here."

Ivita shook her head. "You think too highly of yourself. In fact, that witch is no ordinary Witch Marquis. As long as she is in this city for even one day, she could completely control the city. Her Light Soul and Dark Soul have already unfolded above this city, and the eyes of ordinary humans, even mediocre witches and wizards, cannot see the signs of it."

"That power permeates the city and completely grasps control of it."

"But... to me, it is merely average."

Ivita explained, "The magic at the entrance of your estate cannot confound me. She will not notice me; as for her apprentice... to me, she is like a blind person. As long as I do not wish to be seen, even if she does see me, it is as good as not having seen."

"This is a method of altering memories with a Dark Soul; even her teacher would not notice anything amiss. If it were a Light Soul directly twisting physical laws, setting new ones, then it would be easier to detect something is wrong."

Earl Yodo blinked, remembering the rumors that Ivita was a very powerful wizard, powerful to an unprecedented degree.

But he had not realized that Ivita had grown so powerful.

The countless challenges before him seemed nonexistent in the presence of Ivita. As long as Ivita stood before him, those challenges would vanish completely.

This caused Earl Yodo to feel bewildered, as Jalen once brought him a similar sentiment. However, years had passed since he had seen Jalen, and upon meeting again, everything had changed completely.

He wondered whether they themselves had changed or if the enemy had become so powerful that, in comparison, the allies seemed so weak as to send him into a panic, causing him to make mistake after mistake.

Earl Yodo straightened his collar and bowed solemnly to Ivita. "Your Majesty, I am the head of the Yodo Family, Earl Yodo. As you can see, we have shamefully harbored a Frankish sorceress and are now deeply under her influence."

"This is the seal ring you asked me to bring."

He drew out an exquisitely crafted ring from his clothing, against which all gems and diamonds paled and faded in brilliance.

The ring bore a lifelike design of a fire dragon.

It seems as if it could come to life at any moment.

Ivita reached out her hand, and the ring suddenly disappeared from Earl Yodo’s hand, reappearing in the palm of Ivita’s hand a meter away.

After carefully confirming that it was the real ring, not a magic replica, Ivita put it on. Instantly she felt that her mastery of the Fire Dragon Law was in her grasp, if not ninety percent, then at least eighty percent.

All the items needed by every legitimate king were now in her own hands.

What was lacking was only a national coronation ceremony and the removal of a certain Pseudo King.

With that lackey Pseudo King around, there would always be trouble, and he would give the Frankish people an illusion of opportunity for aggression.

At this point, Earl Yodo had dropped his guard, realizing that the person before him was truly the new King of Alsace.

Ivita Alsace.

Ivita did not look up, but said to Earl Yodo, "Regarding the matter of your harboring a Frankish witch, I won’t say anything for the time being."

"Consider it an act of mercy for your crimes."

"And for those in your family as well. There are still some in your family who have not seen the situation clearly and are standing with Jalen... that I leave to you to handle. I hope you give me a satisfactory outcome."

Earl Yodo felt immense pressure, fearing most that the king would ask him to deal with problematic stances within his own family, a delicate matter to manage. If handled improperly, he himself could be considered by Ivita as having treacherous intentions.

Earl Yodo said, "I will deal with it fairly."

Ivita said, "You can give them a chance to reform. But I want to get rid of the Aries witch who is with the Frankish forces in this city and kill Jalen."

"That Aries witch must have a profound connection to the Frankish Army invading Alsace, at the very least considered their supporter here. If she could be silently taken out without anyone noticing, it would mean the Frankish invasion has already failed by half."

Earl Yodo’s body shook, unsure whether he was more worried for Jalen’s life or for Ivita’s ability to slay the Aries witch.

"But Your Majesty, you have said before that my plans were not very feasible."

"Moreover, Jalen is protected by Law, and if we move against both of them at the same time, we might... fail."

Ivita nodded. "Even so, killing Jalen must be our priority, for the sake of our country. You must have felt what it’s like to be ’occupied’ by the Frankish people during this time."

Earl Yodo nodded gravely, having indeed spent every day of this period thinking about how to get rid of those damned Frankish people.

"But Your Majesty..."

Ivita waved her hand and said, "When I said your plans wouldn’t work, it was because you didn’t know the extent of the Aries witch’s power, you decided on a plan without knowing the balance of power between the two sides, which was bound to fail. But with my involvement, it’s different. We’ll follow your original plan, first steal the Aries witch’s woolen towel, and replace it with this fake one."

"You invite her and Jalen to a banquet."

"I will help your family coordinate the Superior Knights. With their assistance, I can guarantee a high chance of surrounding and killing that Aries witch. Even if we fail, she would be heavily injured, forced to run and hide, unable to preside over the big picture for some time."

Ivita spoke nonchalantly, a task which seemed impossibly difficult in Earl Yodo’s eyes.

But she had that confidence.

Unless the Aries witch was backed by the Witch Queen, Ivita was certain of her victory should she strike.

Earl Yodo was infected by Ivita’s confidence, and considering that Ivita’s magical power seemed to exceed the Aries witch’s, he said to Ivita, "Alright, Your Majesty. I am honored to conspire in great matters with you. It is my honor, my glory!"
