“I don't know...”
Before the assassin could finish speaking, he felt Rhode's icy gaze fixed upon him.
The whip in his hand was also eager to move, as if it would lash out at any moment.
The assassin took a deep breath, recalling the fear of being dominated by that soul-piercing pain.
That soul-deep tearing sensation had practically become his shadow.
Even if it meant death, he didn't want to experience that pain again.
However, he truly didn't know why Earl Franck wanted to kill Jessibel.
After all, he was just an assassin; how could he possibly know his master's thoughts?
“However, I did hear Earl Franck mention Queen Karina's name.”
The assassin suddenly seemed to remember something, and said softly.
Queen Karina?
Rhode frowned, suddenly realizing something.
Could it be that this guy wanted to assassinate Jessibel to create chaos within the Kingdom of Auston, and then take the opportunity to attack and occupy the kingdom, and then seize Queen Karina?
Queen Karina's reputation was not small.
In the surrounding noble circles, she had always been known as the most dazzling pearl of the Kingdom of Auston.
Not only because of her beautiful appearance and figure.
But also because no nobleman had ever been able to get close to this noble queen.
Since Queen Karina married the King of Auston, no one had ever heard of any ambiguous rumors between Queen Karina and any nobleman or knight, except for the king.
There weren't even rumors, let alone anything actually happening.
And the more unattainable something is, the more restless people become.
In the nearby noble circles, countless people dreamed of having a night of passion with Queen Karina.
Unfortunately, other than him, no one had ever captured this charming and dazzling pearl.
So, Earl Franck wanted to assassinate Jessibel in order to invade the Kingdom of Auston and then obtain Queen Karina?
Why assassinate Jessibel? That's easy to understand.
After all, if a country doesn't even have a king, the difficulty of invading it naturally increases.
Jessibel was capable in both civil and military affairs. If she were to become the Queen of Auston, with Earl Franck's strength, it would take a heavy toll, at the very least, to take down the Kingdom of Auston.
If Jessibel could be killed, a country without a king would be like a headless fly.
It wouldn't be able to stir up the slightest storm.
To assassinate a king and start a war for a woman.
Although this kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous, it would definitely be believable if it were Earl Franck.
After all, no one would be surprised if this lecherous king did anything outrageous.
“So, he's setting his sights on me, interesting.”
Rhode narrowed his eyes slightly, not only was Jessibel his woman, but so was Queen Karina.
First, he wanted to kill Jessibel, and now he's plotting against Queen Karina.
This guy is really courting death.
He's already close to shitting on his head; if he didn't react at all, he'd be too much of a turtle.
What's the best way to solve a problem? Of course, it's to solve the person who poses the problem from the root.
This Earl Franck is doomed to die.
Rhode looked at the assassin in front of him and directly used a charm spell to wash his brain.
Until all his consciousness and thoughts were washed into a blank slate, Rhode began a deep mental suggestion, instilling his own will.
“Return to the Kingdom of Franck and kill Earl Franck.”
Rhode calmly instilled his will, causing the assassin to betray his master and turn against his original master.
Using charm magic to deeply hypnotize a person and change their will might be difficult for ordinary people.
However, for an assassin who may have been specially trained from a young age, brainwashing is quite simple.
When they undergo assassin training, they are constantly instilled with the idea of obeying orders.
Therefore, they are quite single-minded in their thinking.
As long as you quietly change the ideas that have been instilled in their minds, you can imperceptibly reverse their thinking.
Next, he just needed to wait for the assassin to return to the Kingdom of Franck and approach the King of Franck, and he should be able to get good news.
As long as the King of Franck dies, he can persuade Jessibel to send troops and easily seize all the territories of the Kingdom of Franck.
A country without a king is like a headless fly.
What's more, the King of Franck doesn't even have a son. If he suddenly dies, he won't even be able to find an heir to inherit the throne.
The Kingdom of Auston would naturally annex the Kingdom of Franck, equivalent to eating a family with no descendants.
After solving the problem of the assassin, Rhode slowly left the palace.
He planned to go to the Felix Manor, after all, he still had two blessing opportunities that he hadn't gotten yet.
Mrs. Temani's blessing was very powerful, allowing his strength to soar.
Unfortunately, the effect of this blessing can only be fully utilized when flying in the sky.
Usually, it's of no use at all.
Although he has wings to fly, most of his enemies are actually ordinary people who walk on two legs.
The number of truly powerful magical creatures that can fly is actually not that great.
Therefore, what he wants most now is a blessing that is not so limited.
It can be fully effective at any time, any place.
Although the difficulty of obtaining this kind of blessing is a bit high, how would he know if he didn't try?
Rhode rode his horse and had just left the palace, about to head to the Felix Manor.
When he met a woman on the street whom he didn't really want to meet.
“Why hasn't this woman left yet?”
Looking at the woman coming towards him, Rhode couldn't help but sigh, this was too coincidental.
Or was this woman waiting for him here all along?
“Mrs. Serena, were you waiting for me?”
Rhode rode his horse and slowly walked towards the carriage in front.
Inside the carriage, a resentful and beautiful face looked towards Rhode, her fiery eyes full of desire, as if she had been thirsty for decades.
It was really hard to bear.
“If not you, who else would make me wait here for so long?”
“Or is it that Baron Rhode has no interest in me at all?”
Queen Serena said with a resentful face.
She had waited a whole night last night.
She had left her bedroom door open all night, waiting for Rhode to appear and have a hearty make-up lesson.
However, that night, she thought about Rhode's appearance in her mind and changed her negligee and bedsheets several times.
As a result, this bastard actually stood her up, making her wait for nothing all night.
Thinking of this, Queen Serena couldn't help but gnash her teeth, her heart full of resentment.
She was very confident in her figure and appearance, and she also believed that her temperament was no less than those noble ladies.
She had already been so proactive, but this guy was still unmoved.
Serena was now a little suspicious of whether her charm had declined?
Or was she too old to attract this kind of young and strong teenager?
Rhode looked at this Countess, who was the noble lady who had taken the initiative to invite him to dance at the previous ball and wanted him to visit the kingdom.
This Queen Serena had left him a handkerchief at the ball when she left, implying that they could pull carrots together after the ball.
But he was too busy last time, first Jessibel, then Queen Karina, Little Red Riding Hood.
Plus Mrs. Temani.
Even if each person was divided equally, the night's itinerary was fully arranged.
After he had solved them all, the timeline of the real world was almost daytime.
Therefore, this Countess, or rather, the Queen's invitation, was naturally left behind.
He thought that this woman would forget about this matter and pretend that it had never happened.
Unexpectedly, this woman actually ran here to block him.
She didn't even have the slightest bit of noble restraint.
She was really thirsty.
His gaze swept over Queen Serena, although this woman was a little too proactive, her figure, appearance, and temperament could be considered top-notch.
Even compared to Queen Karina, she was no less impressive.
A low-cut V-neck blue dress perfectly showcased her full and sexy figure.
Her cool white skin was even whiter under the blue dress.
Her skin was flawless and smooth, and you could even see the faint blue veins under her white skin.
This woman, no matter which angle you looked at her from, was a top-quality beauty.
He had too many women around him, and he didn't plan to attract any more attention.
However, since the other party had taken the initiative to come to his door, it would be a little impolite if he didn't respond at all.
Rhode spurred his horse forward and glanced into the carriage.
Apart from the few knights and maids outside the carriage, there was no one else.
Rhode dismounted and directly got into the carriage.
The surrounding knights and maids wanted to stop him, but they were stopped by Queen Serena.
“You guys wait outside. No matter what happens inside, don’t disturb us.”
Queen Serena said casually.
The knights didn't dare to say more when they heard this and spurred their horses away from the carriage, becoming vigilant.
Rhode glanced at the woman, his expression slightly surprised.
