The vehicle sped down the road. After more than an hour's drive from the airport, Dustin and Grace finally arrived at the source of the outbreak—Ashwillow Village.It was located on the outskirts of Reedcrest, bordering Harbortown, with a population of 300 residents.Every road into the village had been barricaded. All residents were confined to their homes under orders to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. At the same time, the 23 people who had contracted the plague had been quarantined together under strict military supervision to avoid any mishaps.When Dustin and Grace arrived at Ashwillow Village, it was already 9:30 pm. Their vehicle stopped in front of a two-story house with a courtyard.Its perimeter bristling with hastily installed surveillance equipment and guarded by a full squad of soldiers who wore medical masks over their faces.The security protocols demanded that every person entering or leaving the premises undergo thorough decontamination procedures. It w

Grace explained, "The Skull Covenant is pure evil. They sacrifice human lives and commune with death itself. Wherever they go, they leave nothing but ruin."It was their heyday 30 years ago. They had hundreds of core members and over 10,000 followers. They were all masters of the dark arts and posed an enormous threat. "30 years ago, they nearly conquered the entire Ashen Coast and threatened the stability of our nation. Later, my grandfather ordered my father to lead 200,000 troops in an extermination campaign. "It took three months to annihilate them. Afterward, my father established an intelligence and assassination organization to hunt down any remnants because he vowed to erase them from existence."It took several years to root out every last remnant of the Skull Covenant. I thought we'd wiped them out for good. Still, I never imagined that 30 years later, these evil monsters would return."Grace's expression grew stern as she frowned slightly. Just when she thought one cr

That afternoon in a private room of Soluna Hall, events unfolded exactly as Grace had anticipated.After dealing with Tristan in the morning and Matthias at midday, Nathaniel now appeared before her. Within one day, all three of the most powerful princes came to see her one after another.Tristan had asked her to investigate the mastermind behind the recent events, while Matthias had inquired whether she was that mastermind. As for Nathaniel, he was probing to see if a hidden master was backing her.All three harbored the same suspicions, though each focused on different aspects of the mystery.Grace could only choose to deflect with vague responses and stall for time. She didn't give any clear responses to any of them. She was aware that such matters couldn't be admitted. Otherwise, that would only invite more trouble down the line.She naturally understood that no matter how carefully the news was contained, eventually it would leak out. In just a few more days, she bet her brot

After getting in the car, Nathaniel headed straight to the Spanner estate.His mother, Cynthia, was a direct descendant of the Spanners. Her family's influence in Oakvale rivaled that of the Moseys, perhaps even surpassing it. The patriarch of the Spanners, Conan Spanner, was Nathaniel's uncle. Two decades ago, he was renowned as a scholar and a warrior. Though he had withdrawn from the public, his legacy lived on through his children.His son Adam bore the title God of Military, while his daughter Scarlet was known as the Goddess of War. Both had achieved legendary status among their generation. They commanded large numbers of armies, and their futures seemed limitless.With such prodigious talent within their ranks, the Spanner family had risen to unprecedented heights. Their growing influence now threatened to eclipse even the mighty Moseys.It was this formidable backing that gave Nathaniel the confidence to contend for the throne. Since he was facing such momentous circumsta

"Anders, you're intelligent and gifted in both warfare and strategy, with a promising future," Seamus said. "One day, all my authority and assets will be handed to you."You're more than ready to handle things on your own now. I trust you know what you should and shouldn't do."I'm getting old, and there's nothing much I can do for you. However, I must remind you to think twice before acting and never outsmart yourself. Understand?"He looked at Anders and offered his heartfelt advice."I'll never forget your words, Godfather," Anders said respectfully.."Good. Make your arrangements, and I'll play my part in staging this falling-out. From here on, you'll have to tread your own path," Seamus said and waved him off."I won't let you down," Anders promised, then turned to leave.As soon as he walked out the door, his lips curved into a faint smirk.Though he was known throughout Oakvale as the Veros Warrior, he had always lived in Seamus' shadow. No matter how many victories he'd

A chill crept down Matthias' spine at the thought. If the mastermind behind the purge was Grace, then the situation had taken a dire turn.As a staunch royalist, she had never involved herself in government politics. Her unexpected involvement and the massive disruption it caused raised alarming questions.What could she possibly be plotting? Had she already chosen a side? Did she know their father's days were numbered and decide to secure her future?The more Matthias pondered these possibilities, the more his heart raced with dread.Grace commanded an intelligence organization with immense resources and networks. She could easily cut off his sources and deny him access to vital information. If that happened, he would find himself at a severe disadvantage before the succession battle even began.Seamus said calmly, "Your focus has always been on your two brothers. You see them as enemies and spend all your time competing against them and trying to bring them down. "But you neve
