Half-Elf Palace.

The slaughter continues.

This place has become a sea of blood and fire, where the sounds of combat and screams intermingle into a hellish cacophony of devil’s music.

Yet the side hall where Vera and Colin originally resided is exceptionally peaceful.

Under the bright moonlight, a tall and thin figure suddenly appeared outside the side hall.

“Step, step, step…”

Attracted by the sound of footsteps, a small head carefully peeked out from a dark corner.

And its owner is Vera.

She gripped the magic staff in her hand, cautiously watching the figure that entered from outside the hall.

Not until she clearly saw the fox mask on the person’s face did Vera walk out from the corner, softly inquired, “Excuse me, are you the ‘Fox Knight’ that

Viscount Angler mentioned?”

The “Fox Knight” didn’t speak, only nodding stiffly after a long while.

Vera breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, “Are you a knight of the Angler family? What should I call you?”

The “Fox Knight” remained silent, simply turning around and starting to walk away.

Vera was taken aback; the other side’s cold demeanor puzzled her.

But thinking of Colin’s advice, she quickly followed.

“Excuse me, where are you taking me?” She asked.

The “Fox Knight” remained silent.

Vera pouted, gave up on trying to communicate, and obediently followed this peculiar knight outside.

At this time, the rebel army was concentrating their attack on the Royal courtyard. Therefore, the outside of the Palace was eerily calm.

Occasionally, they encountered panicked palace servants and maids rushing out, too busy escaping to notice Vera and the Fox Knight’s peculiarity.

Vera had already changed into a regular maid’s clothes and smeared some fresh blood on her face. It was difficult to identify her in such a night without scrutinizing.

The two eventually reached the open-air garden in the back of the palace. The blood roses that used to be here had already been ruined by the king’s grandson and replaced with other flowers.

“Why did we come here?” Vera finally couldn’t help but ask.

But the Fox Knight still gave no answer.

Just as Vera was about to lose patience with this strange person, a familiar voice suddenly rang out, “Miss Vera, good evening!”

Vera lifted her head to see Queen Isa appearing in the garden.

“Go-good evening, Your Highness!” Vera said.

“Miss Vera, I have been entrusted by Viscount Angler to escort you out of the palace,” Queen Isa explained.

“This…” Vera was momentarily hesitant.

Since Colin did not tell her what really happened on the day of her examination in the queen’s bedchamber, she had assumed that Prince Topaz wanted to kill her. And Queen Isa, being Prince Topaz’s mother, was someone Vera did not trust.

Seemingly expecting Vera’s hesitation, Queen Isa produced a badge to show Vera.

“The Roaring White Bear?” Vera recognized the badge of the Angler family immediately, and her doubts about Queen Isa were finally quelled.

“Now you believe me. Let’s hurry. The palace isn’t safe.”

“Alright.’

But just as Vera was about to follow Queen Isa, a squad of half-elf guards blocked the garden entrance.

Upon seeing the Silver Moon Guard’s badge on them, Queen Isa was about to rebuke them to make way. But she heard a familiar voice before she could…

“Miss Vera, Her Highness, where are you two going?”

“Cis?” Queen Isa furrowed her brows, “What are you doing here?”

“Where should I be?” Cis grinned, “Duke Lute is in charge of the attack on the palace courtyard, and I… I must carry out Duke St. Hilde’s orders—kill Vera!” Upon hearing Cis’s words, Vera was completely stunned.

In her innocence, she never expected that her foster father would want to kill her!

“You…what did you say? Father…wants…to kill me?”

Cis looked at Vera with pity, then spoke coldly, “I’m sorry, Miss Vera, I am just following orders.”

“No…That’s impossible…” Vera shook her head in a daze.

Meanwhile, Cis had already turned his gaze to Queen Isa, scoffing, “Your

Highness, when I learned that Miss Vera had ‘died’ at the hands of Prince Topaz, I knew that you did not carry out our original plan. Therefore, as soon as I entered the royal palace, I focused on you!

Indeed, you truly betrayed us!”

Queen Isa also laughed coldly, “Cis, Vera is still alive and well, dare you kill her? Can you bear to shed the blood of a member of the St. Hilde family?”

Cis laughed heartily, revealing a confident demeanor, “Your Highness, it’s common knowledge among the Half-Elf nobles that Miss Vera was killed by Prince Topaz. Why would they think I killed her?”

“But now there are so many people present, can you guarantee they won’t reveal the truth?” Queen Isa continued to make her last efforts.

Cis looked left and right, laughing lightly, “There’s no need for Your Highness to worry about that. Soon, each of them will have a turn to strike a blow. If this isn’t enough to ensure their silence, well, I’m sure they would have quite the interest in the bodies of two beautiful ladies…

Upon hearing his words, the guards around Cis began to breathe heavily.

The faces of Queen Isa and Vera turned extremely pale.

“Kill them!”

With a wave of Cis’ hand, the half-elf guards slowly began to surround them.

Clang!

The fearless Fox Knight drew his long sword and stood in front of Vera.

Vera also raised her magic staff and began to chant softly.

“Don’t let her cast the spell!”

As Cis shouted, the half-elf guards didn’t hesitate any longer and charged decisively.

Whoosh!!!

At that moment, a sudden gale swept through the garden, and the sky grew drastically darker.

Queen Isa looked up in surprise as a giant shadow descended from the sky.

A pair of enormous black wings completely blocked out the moonlight, casting half of the garden in shadow.

Thump!

The giant landed heavily on the ground, letting out a low, angry roar at Cis and his men.

An endless wave of terror spread out, making everyone present feel a chill from deep within their souls.

“What…what kind of monster are you?” Cis’ eyes widened, and his voice began to tremble.

Colin’s face was shrouded in a mist of blood, combined with his massive body and black wings, it was no wonder Cis did not recognize him.

“All of you will die!” Colin roared, and his huge arm, covered with hard blood patterns, swung out fiercely.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The half-elf guards in front of him hastily raised their shields, but the tremendous force still sent them flying.

Seeing the situation worsening, Cis turned and ran in fear.

Boom!

Colin suddenly spread his black wings, and a violent gust filled up the entire garden in an instant.

Propelled by this gust, he transformed into a black arrow and was above Cis’s head in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh—

A gigantic hand swiftly reached down, seizing Cis by the head.

Crack!

Cis’ head, like a bottle cap, was instantly twisted off on the spot!
