Chapter 232: Princess Sisters

When many things first happen, no one notices their importance; they only consider their own lives amidst the turmoil.

But when everything returns to calm and one looks back suddenly, one realizes one is in history, and specifically a historical event that will likely be discussed by later generations for decades or even a hundred years.

"Does Lex Thorne have such great value?"

He really does; many things are not judged by analysis and commentary, but by actions.

Currently, not only is the entire Radiant City and the Kingdom reacting intensely, but independent cities and states that were once part of the Kingdom have also sent envoys, determined to uncover the truth of the "Hero's Manifestation."

Immediately after, various True God Churches sent divine envoys and high priests, and various international organizations and powerful nations on the continent sent people, all determined to figure out if Lex Thorne has truly manifested.

At the same time, they are all adjusting their relationships with the Kingdom's royal family; in an instant, everyone has become pleasant-looking.

Just as Dai Niya said earlier, this world has legends and records of the Hall of Heroic Souls; it is said that in times of crisis, ancient heroic souls will transform into heroes, using temporary bodies to protect the world.

But this has very strict limitations; even a crisis like the destruction of a nation cannot activate a hero; only troubles like mass racial genocide or world-destroying crises have records of multiple heroes manifesting.

In the eyes of many, they are "divine envoys" in another sense, except that what drives their actions is a higher-level "will," and they often must leave immediately after finishing their tasks.

A hero's manifestation cannot last long, but even so, they are still very worried; if Lex is given one day, since he can save a city, he can also destroy ten cities.

And there are not a few forces, organizations, and nations that had previous grudges with the Kingdom.

"Even if we say nothing, the Kingdom can gain more living space internationally."

A single "nuclear bomb," merely by existing, is enough to gain more international influence.

Li En no longer understands; the more one knows about Lex, the less one can comprehend the unease of other forces. In Li En's eyes, Lex is actually just a simple good person; when rational and clear-headed, his lower limit is actually quite high.

"Should good people be pointed at by guns? Should good people be asked how many bowls of powder they have in their belly?" Although absurd, many people are not afraid of powerful good people; they only fear bastards and butchers.

But in the eyes of others, a hero from another country equals a nightmare reaper for our country.

Lex was not friendly in historical records; when he returns and sees a mess everywhere, what he will do to those who kick him while he is down is quite uncertain.

The Queen and Dai Niya will be very busy in the coming period; many forces will come to express friendliness.

Li En became even more confused: a useless hero comes out and wanders around, and the world brightens?

And reality is just so absurd; the Kingdom did nothing, yet it seems to be entering a rapid recovery zone immediately.

"But the trouble he left behind must also be handled."

Those "bills" placed before Li En, to be honest, are quite life-threatening.

Hela merely knowing Li En's situation must be handled, but can she really be directly eliminated?

"What exactly is my sister thinking?"

Dai Niya had a severe headache. These bills themselves were not expensive; they mainly consisted of various snacks and street foods, including grilled fish, grilled squid, grilled meat, fish cakes, candies, sweet soups, and so on.

"Judging from the signed bills, she has eaten at every slightly famous shop in the city."

This makes people suspect that the iron-stomached eldest princess not only did not escape as expected but did not even hide.

While Lex was killing indiscriminately, she just kept eating and eating, as if she had never eaten normal food in her life. Uh, considering she lived in the Old Capital before, it seems that is indeed reality.

Now that everything has stabilized, she is still eating and drinking. Recent bills show she ran to entertainment venues like the opera house and bars to listen to songs, ordering hymns related to her own father.

Bills covered the table, and the reports from the royal spies never stopped. Watching Dai Niya's face collapse, Li En also felt something subtle.

When useless Lex flew all over the city, didn't he see Hela? Could he not handle Hela? How is that possible! He would be running away as fast as he could; how could he go handle her?

But Li En actually knew clearly that every so often, he would sneak a glance and then run away even faster.

And Hela was completely unhurried and unafraid, happily touring here for nearly two days. When her money ran out, she even sent the bills over. If they didn't let her charge it? She simply said she would charge it with her face, and the royal spies following her suddenly panicked, rushing out to help her keep the accounts.

In fact, if the royal spies had not been diligent enough, various rumors would have spread long ago.

"She is waiting for us to see her."

It is obvious, but Li En feels even more subtle. More unbearable than a daughter who doesn't know when she will come out is the second daughter jumping out.

And now, it seems we are going to follow the younger daughter to see the elder daughter. Li En suddenly thought Lex was actually quite good; perhaps I can also learn to run away.

Hmm, completely possible; it's all the pot of the past life's past life! What does it have to do with me, Li En?

"Don't run!" And Dai Niya, puffed up with anger, grabbed Li En. Even though she knew Li En was just a reincarnation and no longer had Lex's memories, the more she understood these past events, the less she could accept all of this.

Soon, the three of them (Sha Li Man followed along) met Hela, who was happily listening to songs, in a private box at an opera house.

"So, so alike." As soon as Sha Li Man opened her mouth, others glared at her until she closed her eyes.

It is something everyone knows, but also a reality no one dares to speak.

But what she said was also a great truth; looking only at appearance, Dai Niya and Hela are too alike, especially since both are dragonkin without beast ears, yet both possess a pair of activatable dragon eyes.

"Aren't you afraid we will surround and kill you? Your mother is not here now."

The first to speak was Dai Niya, the person concerned; looking at her "sister," her mood was also subtle.

If it were an ordinary day, she would be very happy to have a relative, but...

"There's no reason, is there? Why should I bear the stupid things my mother and father did? Moreover, standing in your position, you should pray that I don't die."

Hela responded with a smile while watching the performance on stage with great interest.

"Why... Oh."

Dai Niya suddenly understood; in a sense, that is indeed the logic. Due to the Royal Owl Seal, the two sisters are actually grasshoppers on the same rope.

In this generation, the only "Royal Seal Bearers" are Dai Niya and Hela. If Hela dies, will Rosalind pursue Dai Niya to the end without hesitation, completely unsealing the "Owl"?

She might even not wait for the Queen to die of old age but start the final battle immediately.

And this is actually a hint, hinting that Hela herself is not in the same camp as the Owl.

"... Have you finally figured it out? Before, my mother didn't come to kill you merely because my existence made killing you meaningless. Guess how she will go crazy after I die."

The girl looked only slightly older than Dai Niya, yet she clearly appeared more "smart."

Actually, if one more Seal Bearer is lost, the Owl will become even stronger.

Li En remained silent; he had seen enough of the sisters fighting these past few days.

"Father has also come. Come sit; at least talk with me."

But Hela did not let him off; instead, she walked over enthusiastically, examining Li En closely.

"Hmm, he's a bit handsome. But he's far from the super-duper handsome guy Mom described; clearly, Mom is completely crazy."

Although Helga has a completely crazy mother, she herself appears far too normal, which only makes people uneasy.

Dai Niya was still hesitating, wondering if she should have the ambush Royal Guards appear to completely eliminate this hidden threat.

"Sister, do you think how Father would view you if you were to kill me?" Helga seemed to have already discovered her sister's hesitation.

"He is not my father." Although she said this, Dai Niya still glanced at Li En, then fell silent.

She knew that neither Li En nor Lex would accept this bloodshed between relatives, especially since Helga had committed no evil acts at present.

"Great, then he is my father alone. Go away, go away, little orphan, go play elsewhere."

With just a few words, Dai Niya felt her breath constrict, as if she were about to explode from anger.

Yet Helga did not stop there.

"By the way, even if you call out those infiltrators, it's useless. It's not that you spared me, but that I spared you."

At this moment, Helga suddenly pulled out a short sword.

Smiling brightly, she flicked her wrist lightly, flipping the blade. The witnesses present felt this movement was strangely familiar.

"Crack!"

An invisible sword qi tore through the sky, splitting the entire opera house ceiling in two!

Lex's feat of splitting a city with a single sword was reenacted here, as the girl holding the short sword smiled triumphantly.

"Father, I learned it very well, right? Praise me."

"Wow, you are so amazing."
