Chapter 60: Chapter 60

Chapter 59

"Yes, It turns out that Princess Alissa of Beifang is the daughter of Alen Knoxx who everyone thought was dead" Lady Mara calmly replied before looking at her father who was kneeling in front of their leader.

“What do you say about this Minister Laxxon? You were the one I ordered to kill the whole Knoxx clan, weren't you? ” calm question of the frightened voice but it brought even more fear two ministers kneeling before him.

"I've failed you master." Minister Laxxon's trembling response

"And you, Minister Haviour" this time, Minister Haviour is almost overwhelmed with fear.

"M-master"

“Where’s the record book?” Minister Haviour's face turned white and his whole body trembled even more. "Didn't I tell you to get that record book just in case Alissa is really alive?"

“Y-yes master, about that”

"Hmm?"

“W-we lost it…” Minister Haviour closed his eyes and prepared himself for his master's frightening and angry shout but after a few seconds he heard nothing.

"What capable people I have here" laughed the voice. “A demoted minister who couldn’t even bring me a single book and a minister who couldn’t even kill a level 2 water user. Should I just kill you two? ”

The two ministers were suddenly confused. "B-but, She's very strong now master"

"What do you mean?"

"When I found out that Alissa knoxx is what they call princess Alissa of Beifang, I ordered my daughter Hailey to challenge her to a duel and pretended that she would accidentally kill her but Hailey lost-"

"Then your daughter is weak" Minister Laxxon suddenly smiled before looking at his daughter Lady Mara who was standing a few steps from the throne where the man he called ‘master’ was sitting. He felt so proud because unlike minister Haviour’s son his son was dependable and benefited greatly.

Minister Haviour looked annoyed at Minister Laxxon when he noticed his grin. “You have the guts to smile right now? If you hadn't just applauded the murder of alissa before, everything wouldn't have ended like this ”

“You son of a b-”

"Enough" the two ministers were silenced when they heard the frightening voice again. "I'll let you live this time beacause I haven't fully recovered yet but there won't be next time"

"Yes master" "We won't disappoint you again master" said the two at the same time.

"Now, get rid of this Alissa before she creates trouble"

Minister Haviour suddenly stopped at what he heard. he remembered the fight between Alissa and her son and he couldn't help but be suddenly nervous because he knew it wasn't easy to fight Alissa.

“B-but master…” He begins, alhtough he is afraid that the scary creature in front of him will get angry with him, he has to tell her that it will be difficult for him to kill Alissa who besides being powerful has a connection to Trevas who is also a powerful and influential tao.

"What now?" the voice asked irritably, which is why minister Haviour stuttered even more.

"M-master… About Alissa, she has connection now so she can't be easily knocked down and also, for some reason, she's now an Ice user at-"

"Ice user?" cutting off the voice at what minister haviour was saying before it suddenly laughed. This voice is feathery but even more terrifying when laughing. "I knew it"

The mysterious creature with a frightening voice stood up from the seat before it slowly walked towards the light.

The moonlight hit her white hair so that it seemed to be shining, her eyes were also white and her lips were smiling. “I knew it, Anna is still alive and she lives inside Alissa. That’s why I felt his presence when I joined the former queen of Beifang Vivian."

I combed my hair and annoyed staring at the scattered papers in front of me. I separated each page of the record book and laid it out in front of me so that I could read it more easily but my head hurt even more because I had so much to read.

“Don’t stress yourself up. You don't have to hurry ”Trevas said before standing next to me. He was holding a cup containing a bright violet colored liquid.

"Drink this" he handed me the cup.

“What’s that?”

"Coffee" I nodded before sipping on the bright violet coffee. As soon as the liquid touched my tongue, I immediately felt some energy and I felt like I was wide awake. I became more energetic and I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep for a few days.

"So… what did you find out" Trevas asked before picking up one of the scattered papers in front of me. I put the cup he gave me next to me.

"So far all I can read is who are those involved and who are those assigned to investigate"

When we came home from the palace earlier, Lina went straight to her room and slept but I went straight to the living room and started reading the record book about the investigation into papa's case. I've been reading for a few hours and I know it's dawn but what I can read is who is involved and what is their role because of the large number.

I turned my attention back to reading and so did Trevas who had earlier helped me with reading. We can have him read it to Trevas ’staff to make our work easier but we can’t risk it. We can’t really trust anyone at the moment because we are here in enemy territory.

It also took me maybe an hour before I finished reading just the names of those involved and I was right in my suspicion when I saw the names of Minister Haviour and minister Laxxon. They were one of the main complainants to papa and they had the most evidence that papa was a traitor.

I went through each case they filed one by one and I couldn't help but frown as I read it. Minister Haviour has filed a case alleging that the knoxx family has hidden illegal magical jewelry and there is also a case that papa steals the treasures of the territories they are invading every time they win the war and he uses that money forexpanding his military personnel to make it wider and more powerful compared to the royal army.

My fist clenched. It's true that our family had a lot of magical jewelry back then, just like the bracelet that my dad gave me before he died, but almost all noble families already have magical jewelry hidden so it's not a big deal to have it then but according to the readabilityI in the record book was added to the layer upon layer case to papa the possession of magical jewelry.

Another accusation is that papa allegedly steals from the territories they occupy whenever there is war. ‘Alen knoxx’ is said to have stolen a gold mine of the firlame kingdom when it was defeated in the war.

I frowned. The knoxx family never had their own gold mine. I searched the record book even more but I focused my attention on this case.

The title of the ‘gold mine’ referred to in that case has not been found until now.

"I have a favor," I said to Trevas. He slowly turned his gaze to me.

"Hmm?"

"I want you to send someone to investigate about something" I said before I lowered the paper I was holding. The sun was still shining and the orange light coming from it was entering the living room.

"Hmm?"

"What do yo mean hmm?" I asked him with a laugh.

"I will lend you one of my people, but there is a replacement"

I raised an eyebrow at him. "And what is that?"

“Your soul”

"What?"

"Jsut kidding" he said before he pulled me closer to him and without saying a word we pressed our lips together. He ran his right hand around my neck while his left hand caressed my waist.

He deepened the kiss even more and I felt that little by little I was falling into the strange feeling I was feeling but before I could get out of the right mood he suddenly pulled away and stared me in the eye.

I also stared into his eyes and just now I realized that I was lying on the floor while he was above me and supporting himself with his arms on either side of my head.

The beating of my chest quickened especially when Trevas brought his face close to mine again. His breath touches my cheek and he still doesn't take his gaze away from my eyes.

"Is this the replacement?" none of my own question so he suddenly stopped before slowly grinning.

"I want more than this but go ahead" he said before he got up and held out his hand to me to help me get up as well. My chest was still pounding and I knew my face was red.

"What do you want me to investigate?" Trevas asked muscularly as if nothing had happened. I couldn't speak right away so Trevas turned to me and raised an eyebrow at me.

I frowned and averted my eyes. "Right, I want you to investigate about this gold mine in the firlame that says papa stole the title"

"Leave it to me" Trevas nodded so I rested deeply. Once I find out who really stole the title of the gold mine, I already have evidence that papa's case is just a frame-up and I can also prove to people that the royal family cannot be trusted.

After Trevas and I put away the scattered papers on the floor, I went straight to my room and slept. I thought at first that I would not be able to sleep because I drank ‘coffee’ before but Trevas said that the effect disappeared after a few hours so drowsiness also visited me.

It was afternoon when I woke up and in a few hours the second grand ball will begin which will be held at Plaza De Rinos.
