They are isolated but possess unique advantages.]**- **[There is a special scene within the castle. Completing a task within the scene will trigger a 'Fate of All.']**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... Moon and Aurora's friends group should be part of the confirmed good side,\" Leon mused, his gaze slowly shifting to the clue card about the [Queen].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this card says that Claudia's [Queen] identity has another purpose. If all players on the good side have the main task of protecting the Princess and finding the Black Sacred Stone, then what could the [Queen]'s other purpose be?\" he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser shook her head. \"So far, Claudia hasn’t shown any signs. She barely speaks during meetings, so it’s hard to deduce her main objective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her observation was accurate; it had been hours since the game started, yet Claudia hadn’t joined anyone in traveling around or contributed much during the meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such scarce information, they couldn’t deduce her intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No worries, the game’s just begun. As more clues surface, we’ll be able to piece together the answer,\" Leon reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they examined a clue card about the [Lone Wolf].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the card Leon found most intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before acquiring this task card, he hadn’t realized there was another lone wolf in the game besides himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could this other lone wolf be...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it Rosvisser, the one bound to him right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it the mysterious [Queen] Claudia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon’s thoughts drifted, but he had no clear answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So there really are lone wolves in this game, and there are at least two of them,\" Rosvisser commented, flashing a playful look at Leon. \"Who do you think it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon responded instantly, \"Of course, it's Claudia. Who else could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first skill a seasoned lone wolf must master: deflect blame at all times!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen raised an eyebrow and continued, \"But didn’t you just say my sister could be a lone wolf, too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your sister could be, and Claudia could be. It says 'at least two,' right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm... you could be one too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, please, spare me. I swear I’m a true good guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser chuckled, resting her delicate chin in her hand as she gazed at Leon with sparkling eyes, drawling, \"But I... like men who are a little bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m a lone wolf, Your Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser playfully punched his arm. \"Oh, come on. Who do you think you’re fooling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon, internally: You all saw it, right? I was honest, but she didn’t believe me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two shared a laugh and then turned to the last clue card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"‘Special scene can trigger \"Fate of All\"?’ Not sure what that means. There wasn’t a rule like this in our family games,\" Rosvisser said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But from the looks of it, it means if one person completes a specific task, the effect will apply to everyone, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser nodded, \"Makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t dwell on this clue card and instead laid out the item cards they had collected over the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three in total:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- **[Super Influence]**- **Effect:** Upon using this item card, your vote count becomes '5'.- **Note:** Can only be used once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- **[Detective]**- **Effect:** Can be used on any player to check if they have 'killed' another player within the last six hours.- **Note:** Can only be used once, no range restriction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- **[Avenger]**- **Effect:** If you witness a 'kill' firsthand, you gain the ability to 'kill' for fifteen minutes.- **Note:** Lacks a card to classify ‘kill’ types; unable to kill empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the enigmatic clue cards, the item cards were more straightforward and far more rare, so the couple only managed to find these three during the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But including the **[Mint Tea]** from earlier, that made it four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re all here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser glanced at the clock on the kitchen wall and calculated the time, saying, \"Our ‘bond of undying affection’ is about to wear off, so let’s divide these items.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon was taken aback. \"Why does this feel like we’re splitting assets in a divorce...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser rolled her eyes, then jabbed a finger into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want a divorce, keep dreaming. I’m going to, torture, you, for life.\" She poked him with each word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nearly became a pincushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s divvy them up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosvisser looked at the stack of cards on the table, then handed **[Mint Tea]**, **[Super Influence]**, and **[Avenger]** to Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept **[Detective]** for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tea was already promised to you. As for Avenger, you wander around more, so the chances of you witnessing a ‘kill’ are higher than mine,\" she explained calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Super Influence? You should keep it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you take it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon blinked, suddenly touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all their bickering, she still cared about him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon was about to thank her. \"Than—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I keep it, I’ll just end up voting you out next time. Five votes, instant knockout!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentiment vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this morning, a few hours of flirtation didn’t prevent them from opposing each other during meetings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after spending six hours together, gathering and analyzing information, it wouldn’t stop the Queen from voting against Leon at the next meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You all have your own game roles—lone wolves, queens, and all that—but I, as the Queen, have one mission: to defeat Leon Cosmod in every game and challenge we play!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They packed up the cards, and then Rosvisser stood up, patting Leon on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This afternoon we’ll be on our own again. As always, don’t get yourself killed before I find a ‘kill card,’ alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the Queen clicked away in her heels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon watched her tall, retreating figure with a smile, then pocketed his item cards and left the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game was still in full swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As clues surfaced, everyone became more engrossed in this hidden struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, only a third of the game had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest… would be filled with even more unknowns and danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dinner, Leon planned to rest in his room before preparing for the night’s activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to move the Black Sacred Stone hidden in the communal kitchen to a new location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Memory Stone in his pocket emitted an NPC voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone has opened the castle’s alchemy room, releasing a contagious disease. Go to the [Doctor]'s room within an hour to obtain the antidote. If you miss the deadline, you will be eliminated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon frowned slightly. \"Alchemy room... contagious disease...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the clue card he and Rosvisser had found earlier about a \"special scene triggering a 'Fate of All.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the alchemy room be that ‘special scene’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the contagious disease, the 'Fate of All'?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pondering, Leon made his way to his eldest sister Isha’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived, Moon and Aurora were just leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy, did you get sick too?\" Moon asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, I’m here to ask Aunt Isha for the antidote.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The antidote is sweet, Daddy. You have to try it!\" Moon chirped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon chuckled. Little do you know, Dad tried it in the first round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And guess why Dad got sick? Because of your mom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I know. By the way, did you find any useful clues this afternoon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, we found—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moon started, but quickly corrected herself. \"Nope, Moon and Aurora didn’t find anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her expression screamed ‘I’m lying,’ Leon still humored her with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, take your medicine and go to bed early. No staying up late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Daddy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two girls walked off hand in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the last one to come for the antidote,\" Isha said from behind her desk, where a single dose remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was orange-flavored, judging by the color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon approached the table, looking down at the candy, but didn’t pick it up right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, you must have seen the Memory Stone’s message, right? Someone opened the alchemy room, infecting us all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isha muttered in frustration, \"That jerk! Why open the alchemy room out of nowhere, making me work overtime?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think opened it?\" Leon asked, hoping his clever sister might offer some insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Isha shook her head. \"No idea… everyone’s been here for\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the antidote, even I, the [Doctor], had to take it or I’d be eliminated. So who opened the alchemy room… I have no clue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon pondered, \"So if we figure out who opened the alchemy room, we can find a [wolf], right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I think so. Do you have any clues or intel about the [wolf]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon thought for a moment. \"There’s some intel about the [Queen]. It says she loves the [Princess], but has another agenda. So I suspect Claudia might be one of the [wolf] faction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That makes sense... We should question her closely at the next meeting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now take the antidote, don’t let the time run out,\" Isha said, nodding at the candy by Leon’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon picked up the candy, hesitated briefly, then popped it into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, the meeting is at eight,\" Isha reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon nodded, then turned to leave Isha’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the door closed, he hurried back to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed to the bathroom, spit out the candy, and rinsed his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out the **[Mint Tea]** Rosvisser had given him, opened the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>",1675,"2026-06-06T15:09:44.609Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e582300f617776f3294dc31b51bd1f6406121ee77b2ade38e6e29f68a690a72","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-451","shut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-chapter-449",914,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-malevolent-dragon-i-don-t-want-to-have-a-cover.jpg"]
