“Speak!”


    St. Dmitri immediately raised his head.


    Lloyd lowered his voice and said, “ndom is about to host á grandpetition in Praxis Ind to elect a new king. The Wolf King, Queen Margerina, and Katalina will surely participate as well.”


    Lloyd trailed off because he knew that St. Dmitri was a smart person.


    “You mean…


    “St. Dmitri’s eyes narrowed. “You want me to take action during thepetition and kill the Wolf King openly, so I can avoid ountability from Old Hagstorm?”


    “That’s right!” Lloyd nodded. “Although it’ll still be suspicious, doing it in public would make it difficult for Old Hagstorm to find fault. Furthermore, as long as you do a clean job, I can join you in dealing with Old Hagstorm.


    “Although we might not win, if we try to leave, Old Hagstorm won’t be able to stop us.”


    Lloyd spoke sincerely, but his true intentions were concealed. His ultimate goal had always been to implement the century–long n of his family!


    St. Dmitri fell into silence again. He was considering the risks involved and how much Lloyd’s words could be trusted.


    St. Dmitri had been in Obaro for many years, so he knew Lloyd to some extent. Lloyd was a person of deep concealment and profound scheming!


    “Fine!”


    After a moment of contemtion, St. Dmitri’s desire for revenge for his son took over, and he agreed. “Inform me before the Praxispetition. I will be the one who kills the Wolf King!”


    Lloyd was overjoyed to see him agree, but he maintained a calm expression on his face. “In that case, I wish us a smooth sess!”


    Dmitri made a gesture and chanted, “Amen…”


    “Amen…”


    After the discussion, Lloyd and Alexander left the church and returned to ndom.


    The convoy had just entered the capital’s territory when they were stopped by

    someone. A person d in ck and wearing a cloak with their hands crossed stood there boldly.


    “Who are you? This is the convoy of Alexander’s family. Make way!”


    The apanying knights got out of the car and shouted loudly, trying to drive the cloaked figure away.


    Phweet-


    Instead of retreating, the cloaked figure unexpectedly whistled an eerie and piercing sound.


    Screech…


    Swoosh…


    Skitter…


    At the whistle, the sky suddenly darkened.


    Countless insects surged like ocean waves, densely packed and overwhelming. Wherever they went, no vegetation survived!


    Grass, flowers, and trees all withered instantly as if all their moisture and nutrients had been sucked away.


    “Ahhhh-”


    The knights had never seen something like this before. They were terrified and tried to defend, but could not endure for a second before being devoured by the countless insects.


    After that, all that remained in their ce were skeletonspletely stripped of

    It was terrifying and fear–inducing.
