Before General Commander Castella can say a word, the assassins did not wait anymore and quickly attacked them all at once.Most of the nobles left inside the party hall are all quivering in fear. This assassination attempt is really a surprise for all of them. They all expect a jovial and harmonious birthday party tonight. They even pay the best tailors and dressmakers in the kingdom to make their party clothes tonight.But all of it is useless to think of right now. They are now all afraid for their lives. Someone estimated that a hundred assassins were sent tonight to kill the Crown Prince. It is not hard to tell who is their target tonight. When Prince Marius is nowhere to be found inside the hall, the assassins start following him but was stopped by General Rovira. She already dealt with those assassins who dares to step out of this party hall. They were temporarily stuck from their mission because the female General is too strong and cannot be defeated by a few strokes of sword
Rovira has no time to think about it. She should attack these demonic creatures before investing in this incident. But first, she has to destroy the magic circle so that no more demonic creatures will appear inside the banquet hall. Avoiding the attacks coming from their opponents, Rovira jumps high and lands in front of the magic circle. Using her sword, the female General stabs the floor until she can make a huge crack and distort the magic circle drawn on it.The blinding light that is coming from it disappeared in an instant. Rovira is not too knowledgeable when it comes to magic. But the female General can tell that she succeeded in destroying the magic circle. Before she can try to destroy it further, a demonic creature is charging toward her at the back. "Be careful!"General Commander Castella blocks the demonic creature using his huge sword and kick it in its stomach. There are now standing back to back. General Aster asked if she gets injured but Rovira did not say anything
Rovira watches as Lady Rosalyn helps Roselyn to walk and follows her lead. Even in this kind of situation, she is still a gentle mother to her favorite daughter. Rovira can also see how Lady Rosalyn tries to coax her adopted daughter by saying comforting words in her ear and wrapping an arm around Roselyn's back. When the former Countess and her adopted daughter finally moved to a safer place, Rovira looks at the demonic creature in front of her. Both of her hands and wrists are injured and bleeding. But she cannot feel any pain from it. Ignoring her injuries, the female General moves her hand that is blocking the monster's mouth with a sword."Disgusting." Rovira said as she forcefully removes the sword from the monster's mouth.The demonic creature lets out a pained growl when its tongue gets torn after the female General pulls her sword that is stabbing it. But the monster is not the only one that gets hurt by it. When Rovira moves her hand, her wrist which is pierced by the monst
The General Commander of the Nocturnus Knights is now standing in the middle of the banquet hall. Her military uniform is now a bit messy due to the cuts, dirt, and bloodstains on its fabric. Next to her is the dead body of the demonic creature that she killed just now. While the nobles are thinking of celebrating now that the danger in their lives is no longer alive, the female General looks at her finger that is no longer wearing her ring."I guess it can't be helped, huh," Rovira murmured to herself.Before the nobles can approach her and give their gratitude, something is happening to the female General. As she closes her eyes, the chestnut color of her hair is slowly fading and turning into bluish-silver. Everyone inside the banquet hall is witnessing such a surprising scene. But they become more shocked the moment she opens her eyes and see her deep sapphire eyes."Wait. Isn't she the eldest daughter of Count Byron?" a noble who once saw Charlotte in the past asked."You're righ
Everywhere Charlotte goes, the people's attention is always on her. They can't stop themselves from talking about the revelation that the feracious female General Commander in their empire is the missing daughter of Count Byron White for fourteen years. Although an assassination attempt has happened at the banquet tonight, it is still not enough to cover up the truth that transpired right in front of them. Of course, Charlotte remains indifferent to the attention she's getting tonight. Instead, she continues to do her duty as a General Commander without any flaw. She orders the Nocturnus Knights to bring the assassins who are still alive inside the underground prison and prepare the things she will need for interrogation later. The truth about her identity is the least concern Charlotte has in her mind. What's important for her is to know if her speculation is right—whether the person who sent those monsters and assassins is the same person who is responsible for their kidnapping fou
Roselyn suddenly feels panicked after seeing a lot of nobles who are trying to scold her without holding back. Even if she tries to stop them, the nobles are all pushy and keep on finding a weakness to subdue her. Roselyn tries to ask for her mother's help but she is also helpless in that situation. While looking at the angry faces of these people, she is trying to understand why they suddenly become hostile towards her when she's only talking to Charlotte.Roselyn will never understand these things since she's still relatively new in a noble society. So far, the gatherings she attended before were just simply parties where small gossip is being exchanged. Those gatherings are something they did for fun and can never affect their political affairs.All these times, Roselyn believes that she already knows the ins and outs of their society. She purely believes soft images like hers can gather sympathy and make them believe in the words she says. What Roselyn did not know is that those n
The next day, everyone in the empire is shocked to know the truth about the real identity of General Commander Valentine. Many of them are surprised to know that she is the same daughter of Count White who went missing for fourteen years. But most of them are filled with a wild imagination and fill the missing gap of the story on their own. Some say maybe her kidnapping incident is just a smokescreen so that everyone will not know the truth that Charlotte White is a genius swordmaster. They even made their own story that says Charlotte White must be threatened because of her young age that's why she needed to hide the truth from everyone. In just a few hours, different versions of this story spread in their empire and become the hottest topic for everyone.While everyone is still in shock because of this revelation, the only one who is not affected by it is the main character of everyone's gossip.When Charlotte woke up early, she ate her breakfast in peace. The chef made her usual b
Dealing with the General Commander is not for those people who have weak hearts. She can do things that ordinary people like them cannot easily do in their lives. No wonder people are dying to be close to her because once you get the General Commander's favor, different blessings will surely come their way. Baron Fordebart did not know what he did to receive such a blessing from the Duchess. But because of her help, the Fordebart family will remain in their society and they will have a chance to restore their reputation. His children do not need to suffer from contempt around them and they can properly pay the people and workers under them. The Baron's hold on the documents suddenly tightened. He swears not to let the young Duchess be disappointed in him for giving them such a good opportunity. Once he received their new social status, Baron Fordebart will do his best to show Duchess Valentine that he is not someone who will just waste an opportunity given to him. He will live on hi
