The major had deliberately used his illusion technique, but not to intimidate Derek. Instead, he used it to understand what the teenager was feeling. Using this technique, he delved into Derek's mental state and discovered the root of his aggressive behavior.

"This kid is physically very healthy," he murmured as he continued to observe the teen's reactions to the hallucinatory stimuli he had given him. "He even has much stronger muscles than other boys his age, even compared to males in general."

In addition, Darrin could see that Derek came from a wealthy family where all of his needs were more than met. Simply put, whatever the boy wanted, his parents would provide.

But Darrin saw a serious problem with Derek's psyche. "He's never spoken to his father." The young man could see that Derek's father was very temperamental.

When Derek was a child, if he made a mistake, his father would not hesitate to slap or even severely punish him. This treatment gradually instilled a deep fear in yo

    A brief explanation from Darrin that his visit was to discuss the upcoming gubernatorial election, one week away, made Zoey breathe a sigh of relief. "Turns out it's not as hard as I thought," she mused. Earlier, she had worried that the young man had some serious problem."So you want me to do what I did before?" Zoey narrowed her eyes. Without the young man needing to explain, she seemed to know exactly what was on his mind.Zoey still remembered what she had done a few months ago when she had thwarted William's candidacy for mayor of Starlight. At the time, everyone believed that the businessman would win the mayoral election by acclamation. But something unexpected happened. Darrin defeated him, even on the ballot.This time, of course, things were different. Back then, Darrin wasn't very well known among the people, so Zoey had to manipulate the votes. But now, not only was he famous in Starlight, Darrin's name had spread throughout the eastern provinces and even all of Arcadia.

    One week later.Today was the day of the general election, open from morning to evening. In the Kingdom of Arkadia, mayoral or gubernatorial elections could be conducted online through the smartphones of every citizen, using a simple yet effective method. Before voting, they had to undergo facial verification through an app on their phones, after which they could cast their votes for the candidate of their choice.In addition, the government declared the day a public holiday, so most people chose to stay home and wait for the election results. The same scene could be seen at the Moreau Palace, where Darrin and everyone else had gathered. The night before, the lord had registered as one of the gubernatorial candidates.He deliberately registered just before the deadline, hoping not to attract too much attention. Of course, once people saw his name on their phone screens, they would undoubtedly vote for him. That's why he had met with Zoey a week earlier to prepare for this situation."

    "It's not stored on this server? What do you mean?" Elara and Gabriella asked the same question at almost the same time.They didn't really understand much about the Internet or anything like that. However, they could understand Zoey's explanation - that every person who voted for a candidate would have their vote stored on the main server at the Governor's office. So if this girl said she couldn't find the data in Blissfeld's data center, where was she supposed to find it?"I don't have time for an explanation right now!" Zoey kept her eyes glued to her computer screen. She didn't have much time. "But I'm going to do something about it!"At first she'd thought that the app on everyone's phone would send the data to the main server immediately, or at least by closing time. But when no data was sent to the main server, she realized that the data collected by the phones wasn't going to the main server, but somewhere else."I shouldn't have waited!" Zoey muttered, regretting her lack of

    "If you two want to do something, go ahead!" Elara, who usually wouldn't let her sister get cozy with Darrin, surprisingly gave them space. Of course, it felt a bit strange."Sister, what's wrong?" Gabriella quickly approached her younger sister. She could see the displeasure on Elara's face, even though she knew it wasn't because of what had just happened between her and Darrin."That girl..." she muttered. "The girl we met in Menrus." Menrus was the city where the Fontaine Palace was located. "She's here now.""You mean Lily?" asked Darrin.Two months ago, Darrin seemed to have done nothing to stop the Dark Knight from killing the girl. But the truth was quite the opposite. After reaching the level of Kings, not only had the young man's internal power increased, but so had his magic and illusion techniques.He had used his illusion technique to make the Dark Knight think that he had killed Lily, when in fact nothing had happened to the girl. At that moment, he had quickly opened a t

    Gabriella didn't just express her thoughts through words and actions, she even invited Lily to join them for dinner.In the dining room, there were now five people sitting, with Darrin at the far end, while the four girls sat across from each other. Elara sat to Darrin's right and Gabriella sat next to her. Usually the lady would sit to Darrin's left, but this time she gave that seat to Lily, while Zoey sat directly to her left.Throughout the dinner, only Gabriella and Lily engaged in conversation. Zoey, who was naturally quiet, chimed in occasionally, mostly responding with smiles and nods. Meanwhile, Elara, who sat across from Lily, remained silent. Usually she was the most talkative during such dinners, but tonight she couldn't wipe the frown from her face."Sister, why did you allow this girl to dine with us?" Elara finally spoke to Gabriella through a mental link, unable to hide her disapproval any longer. "You could have just sent her home and warned her not to return."Elara c

    "Dark Knight? Shouldn't he still be far from recovery after such serious internal injuries?" Darrin thought to himself. "Could he have planned all of this?""Zoey, can you do one more thing for me?""Sure! Just tell me!""I want you to do whatever it takes to get any information in or out of Green Island!"Although everyone knew about the island and the mysterious kingdom inside it, only a handful of people in Arkadia really knew what was there. Those with access were usually only the royal family or their closest associates. Most people had no idea, except that Arkadia relied heavily on this small kingdom.Zoey nodded. She knew that no hacker community had ever dared to do what Darrin was asking. They wouldn't risk their lives for nothing. Anyone caught hacking into the island's systems faced severe punishment, with the lightest sentence being life in prison.But Zoey wasn't too worried, knowing that Darrin was by her side. On the contrary, she felt challenged by the idea of hacking

    Theobaldus seemed calmer after hearing his nephew's words. "I don't want us to fail this time. After failing to find Utior, I don't want us to fail to bring the Queen Dowager back from her long slumber!"The Queen Dowager, or Queen Marielle, was the wife of King Onuphrius, the first king of the Kingdom of Heaven. She may be the only woman in history whose inner energy reached the level of the Gods. Even her husband couldn't reach that level, because he could only reach the peak of the King Level.Thanks to this woman's guidance, her three sons all reached King Level, as did her only grandson, Nicolaus.With her terrifying power, Marielle unlocked the secret of eternal life so that her body didn't age. Unfortunately, after her husband's death, she felt a deep sense of loss and loneliness in her heart. In that moment, she realized that immortality was meaningless without someone she loved by her side.Marielle then drank a rare potion whose ingredients grew in only one place in the worl

    At almost the same time, in the city of Serenitonia, the capital and center of the Kingdom of Arcadia, there was a commotion at the Beaumont Palace, the official residence of King Victor of Arcadia, who had suddenly collapsed unconscious while enjoying his dinner. He was the beloved grandson of King Balian, the 76th King of Arcadia and the 39th ruler of the Beaumont Dynasty. As his name suggested, he was not a weak man, neither physically nor mentally.His cultivation had surpassed the level of Knights. He was also highly skilled in various poisons and ancient medicine. It was said that Victor could identify over a hundred kinds of the most deadly poisons by their smell alone.After the royal physician examined him, he just shook his head weakly, his eyes filled with helplessness. "His Majesty is not suffering from any disease. His body is very healthy."King Victor's body was perfectly healthy? Then why had he fainted and become unconscious? This prompted someone who cared for him th

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
