Chapter 189: Princess

Although Baixue's heart was a mess, she still wanted to explain properly that the assassin who attacked the Queen was not sent by her.

But the moment she opened her mouth, a maid suddenly emerged from behind, grabbed her arm, and turned to run, while running, she turned back and swung a massive cyan wind blade at the angry Queen.

"Princess, it's clear that the Queen, this bitch, set a trap to harm you today; let's run first."

For a time, everyone was stunned.

Where did such a greenhorn maid pop out from?

Only Aoruilian pulled out his long sword in the first instance and slashed the wind blade shooting at the Queen.

And the Queen didn't care about the maid's attack at all, instead turning her head to look at her own Traveler team; sure enough, the guy who originally had a very low sense of presence was gone.

Thinking again that the person actually called her a 'bitch,' she couldn't help but glare at the direction where the two fled.

Seeing Baixue being taken away by a maid, Luka, Alice, and Pierre, the three Travelers, instantly made a judgment—this was the normal development of the plot, the evil Queen forcing Baixue out of the palace.

"No problem!"

The three exchanged a tacit glance and turned to run without hesitation.

Luka Marchetti, as the leader of the three, didn't hesitate to reveal the Minotaur's true form. He let out a low roar, his thick front hooves raised high, and then stepped heavily on the gorgeous ground of the palace.

"Boom—!"

The bricks shattered instantly, the ground shook violently like waves, and the powerful shockwave spread from Luka as the center. The royal guards and soldiers who were preparing to pursue were shaken until they were dizzy and fell to the ground, losing their ability to act, and could only watch as several people escaped.

By the time the shaking subsided and the guards climbed up in embarrassment, Baixue and the three mysterious Travelers had long since disappeared without a trace.

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating. King Otto's face was iron-blue, his scepter struck the ground heavily, and he angrily ordered: "Search the whole city! Seal the city gates immediately! Absolutely cannot let them escape the royal city!"

The guards hurriedly took orders, rushing out of the palace one after another, starting a carpet search in the entire city. However, Luka and his party had long since mixed into the bustling market and disappeared into the crowd.

Only Nie Yingying's agile figure kept tumbling and jumping in Star City, following closely behind the team; the 【Sky Assassin】 gave her the ability to fly briefly, allowing her to better track this group of people.

In the palace, King Otto gently held the Queen's hand and comforted her in a low voice: "Queen, don't worry, those bold assassins will never escape my palm. Once they are captured, I will definitely hang them one by one to relieve the Queen's hatred."

He paused, his tone slightly eased, and continued: "However... Baixue, that child, must be innocent. You also saw that she originally wanted to explain clearly, but was forcibly taken away by that maid. Queen, please don't be angry about this anymore, okay? Please don't let this matter affect your mood."

The Queen didn't say much, just lowered her eyes slightly, a layer of thin water mist appearing in her eyes, her pitiful appearance making people feel pity. She gently bit her lower lip, as if she had suffered a great grievance, but was holding back and refusing to show it.

Seeing this, King Otto felt even softer in his heart, hurriedly pulling her into his arms and comforting her in a low voice.

The Queen leaned against the King's chest, but a cold smile that was hard to detect quietly curled up at the corner of her mouth, a sinister light flashing in her eyes, but her voice was gentle and earnest.

"Your Majesty, although I am angry about this assassination, Baixue is a child I watched grow up after all; how can I not believe that she was blinded by those villains? Your Majesty, you must send someone to save Baixue; don't let her be deceived by those thugs. No matter what, we are always a family."

King Otto heard these words, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, gently patting the Queen's hand: "Still my Queen who understands the big picture. Don't worry, I will handle this matter; I will definitely send someone to save Baixue and will never let her be harmed."

He pondered slightly and continued: "By the way, the 【Light Knight】 under your command is loyal and reliable, with extraordinary strength; why not let him lead the team to rescue Baixue. With him there, I am more at ease."

The Queen nodded slightly, a faint smile curling at the corner of her mouth, her tone respectful and obedient: "Your Majesty is wise; the Light Knight is indeed the most suitable candidate. I will arrange it now, let him set off immediately, and must bring Baixue back safely as soon as possible."

The King nodded with satisfaction, his gaze full of trust: "Good, that's settled. Queen, you are always so considerate and thoughtful; you are truly my virtuous helper."

The Queen smiled gently, but a flash of unfathomable light flashed in her eyes. She bowed slightly and said softly: "It is my honor to share your worries, Your Majesty."

After speaking, she turned and left elegantly, her skirt swaying gently, like a black rose in full bloom, beautiful but with thorns.

In the dim light of the side hall, the magic mirror had been moved from the ruins of the bedchamber to here, the mirror surface reflecting a ghostly light. The Queen stood in front of the mirror, the joy on her face long replaced by cold calculation. Her fingers gently brushed the mirror frame, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Driving her out of the palace is just the first step..." The Queen whispered, her voice like a snake spitting out a letter, "Only when she is dead can I become the most beautiful woman in the world again."

Her face was uncertain, finally settling into a murderous look. She turned slowly, her gaze sweeping like a knife over Weisite and the three Travelers standing respectfully behind her.

"The female assassin among you has already gone to follow Baixue's party, right?" The Queen's voice was cold and majestic, unquestionable.

Aoruilian stepped forward and bowed slightly: "Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

The Queen nodded with satisfaction, a cold smile curling at the corner of her mouth: "Very good. Aoruilian, since His Majesty the King has appointed you as the leader of the rescue of Baixue, you go to the training ground now to assemble the soldiers and prepare to set off."

Aoruilian took the order and turned to leave, his pace firm and steady.

The Queen's gaze then fell on the other two—【Blood Axe】 Siwen and 【Gladiator】 Hans. Her voice was low and full of threats: "As for you two, I want you to follow Weisite's dispatch and go one step ahead. Remember, your mission is not to rescue, but to ensure that Baixue... never comes back."

Siwen and Hans looked at each other, a flash of understanding in their eyes; it seemed they were the hunter characters in the original plot.

They said in unison: "As you command, Your Majesty the Queen."

Weisite nodded slightly, a sinister smile on his face: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen, everything will proceed according to your plan."

The Queen sneered coldly, her gaze once again cast toward the magic mirror, as if she had already seen Baixue's ending. Her voice was as cold as ice: "Go, don't let me down."

The three left the side hall quickly, their footsteps disappearing at the end of the corridor. The Queen stood alone in front of the magic mirror, the Queen in the mirror beautiful and ferocious! ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
