Chapter 310: Rescue Princess Luoying Plan!
In Princess Luoying's princely mansion, Princess Luoying paced back and forth.
In her mind, she kept replaying the scenes from just now in Wang Gong.
After harboring suspicion, Princess Luoying noticed more details.
For instance, her father's gaze—it was not at all the gaze of a human.
Too cold.
Inside it, you could see not a trace of human emotion.
The expression on her father's face was also stiff; no, her father's face had no expression at all!
Combined with her father's reaction when Princess Luoying deliberately lied about having a top-secret mission, Princess Luoying was almost certain.
That was not her father!
Her father had been possessed by a god's consciousness!
Although Princess Luoying could confirm this, she could think of no solution.
Though she was a princess, she held no real power.
In fact, aside from Ningcui, she had no one she could rely on.
The guards outside the princely mansion were completely untrustworthy.
After all, she was a princess, destined never to inherit the throne, and still so young—who would think to build her own faction?
Most crucially, her personal strength was not strong enough.
She was merely a Third-Rank mage!
A Third-Rank mage could already thrive in a small place; the strongest person in a small city was no more than a Third-Rank mage.
But in the current situation, relying on sheer strength to break the deadlock was far too weak!
Now that the god had possessed her father, he had seized full control—the entire palace guard had been replaced by Church members!
The Church was filled with experts; Princess Luoying had even seen a Sixth-Rank Temple Knight!
No strength, no power base!
Even if she went out now and told others, no one would believe her!
And if she revealed even a hint of this, she would likely face the Church's retaliation.
A god's consciousness—even just a fragment—was beyond the reach of a Third-Rank mage like her.
Not to mention the colossal Church!
The Church's strength was hardly weaker than the royal family's!
So Princess Luoying currently had not the slightest idea what to do!
At this moment, Princess Luoying thought of her aunt.
Her aunt was a powerful Seventh-Rank Archmage who had returned to Wang Gong a month ago to oversee affairs.
But two weeks ago, she vanished.
People in Wang Gong said she had left, but before, whenever her aunt departed, she would at least come to say goodbye to Princess Luoying—this time, she did not!
"My aunt may have met with misfortune."
Princess Luoying thought.
Thinking of this, her heart ached.
"Perhaps she was imprisoned."
Princess Luoying comforted herself.
But the more she thought, the more likely it seemed her aunt had been imprisoned—after all, the Church had only two Seventh-Rank Archmages; they might not dare to kill her.
"If only I could find where my aunt was being held."
After much thought, Princess Luoying decided this might be her most viable option now.
Find her aunt, then figure out how to rescue her; her aunt had studied far away from home since childhood, seen much, known much, and was immensely powerful—she could help her think of a plan!
Thinking of this, Princess Luoying called Ningcui in.
"Princess, what's happened?"
The swordswoman Ningcui had already noticed Princess Luoying's unusual state.
In the City of Miracles, Princess Luoying had not slept a single night.
Since returning to Wang Gong, she had barely slept at night, spent her days guarding the palace, and at night searched every book related to the gods!
Such abnormal behavior from Princess Luoying—if Ningcui hadn't noticed, she wouldn't deserve to be her confidante!
Ningcui's strength was no weakling—don't underestimate her; she was a Fourth-Rank warrior with exceptional swordsmanship.
Princess Luoying thought for a moment, then ran to the door and peered outside.
Actually, the princely mansion was vast; this was the core area, and no one would ever come here.
After closing the door, Princess Luoying cast several minor spells to eliminate all possibility of eavesdropping.
Then, with an Expression Turned Solemn, she said to Ningcui:
"Ningcui, my father has likely been possessed by a god!"
Upon hearing Princess Luoying's words, Ningcui gasped, "Ah!"
"Princess, are you serious? Why would a god possess the King?"
Ningcui asked.
Her expression showed little concern—clearly, she had not yet grasped the gravity of the matter.
Though she could currently think of no solution, Princess Luoying was not panicked; her mind remained calm, for only calmness could lead to solutions—panic served no purpose!
Princess Luoying said: "Something huge must have happened that I don't know about. Not only has my father been possessed, but my aunt may have been imprisoned too."
"Ah!"
Ningcui let out another "Ah!"
She finally realized the seriousness of the situation!
Ningcui asked, "Princess, do you know where the Senior Princess is being held?"
Princess Luoying's aunt, being the king's elder sister, is called the Senior Princess by everyone else!
Princess Luoying shook her head and said, "I don't know either. That's exactly why I've come to you, Ningcui. You're skilled at concealment. I'll give you a few locations—find out if my aunt is being held in any of them."
