System vs Rebirth - Chapter 1433

Wendy simply said with a resolute face. "…How can we be safe… when the assassin is me?"

"!!!" The king widened his eyes in shock. The third princess was supposed to be a doll who would follow his words no matter what.

Yet, this doll actually dared to attack him. "You…"

Wendy looked at her father coldly. "Your reign is over. You have done so many bad things and caused all this instability.

"As long as you remain on the throne, the Muivell Kingdom is going to be destroyed sooner or later."

The king gritted his teeth. This wasn't supposed to happen. He didn't expect the third princess to betray him. Still, Conrad would have stopped her.

At the very least, the third princess was just a mortal, while the marshal was a spirit transcendence. Even if he was outside, stopping the third princess was easy.

That was why the king didn't understand what was going on. It was at this time he recalled the spirit transcendence that Conrad mentioned.

At the same time, there was a clicking sound that echoed throughout the castle as the shock wave between their clashes caused the castle to shake.

"!!!" The king finally understood why Conrad didn't stop her. He simply couldn't do it because of this threat.

Originally, he thought it was the third prince who wanted to harm him, considering he was also a spirit transcendence. The third prince would kill Conrad first before seizing his position.

But it turned out he had been fooled. The spirit transcendence who came here was none other than someone from Wendy's side.

However, there was supposed to be no other spirit transcendence coming here. Even Noel wouldn't personally go all the way here.

There was only one person who had this power, and he didn't expect this person would follow Wendy.

"Duke Lorelei…" The king gritted his teeth.

"That's right." Wendy smiled. "Duke Lorelei has been supporting me this whole time. You were the cause, Father. Even Duke Lorelei knew that the Muivell Kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later in your hands."

The king bit his lips before saying, "So, those western lords…"

"Of course. They supported me. They are nothing but a distraction. Thankfully, you sent out the last batch of demonic humans. This way, no one could stop me anymore." Wendy smiled.

"To think that you have been hiding everything this whole time…" The king gritted his teeth.

"It's thanks to your guidance. You forced me to hide everything, including my own heart. And this time, I will be free. I will free this kingdom from suffering."

"It's useless. Even with the western lords, you are nothing compared to Marquis Ardagan."

Wendy shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I don't plan to oppose him, but at the same time, I know that Marquis Ardagan is dreaming about something even bigger. This small kingdom won't be enough for him, so I'm sure that he will leave in the future.

"Even if I have to bow, I will endure it until that time… all for the sake of the kingdom. Even if the people know me by how weak I am, then so be it. It's much better than letting this kingdom get destroyed.

"So, die, Father. I will take care of the kingdom in your stead."𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The king looked down as if he had been defeated. However, his body was soon shaking as he giggled.

"…" Wendy furrowed her eyebrows.

"Hahahahaha. You are indeed a fool." The king grinned and lifted up his head again, this time his sclera turning black.

"That's…" Wendy took a step back in fear.

"Do you think I will die so easily?" The king stood up.

"You… You are… a demonic human?!" Wendy's face was distorted in horror. The king was supposed to be powerless. He didn't have any spiritual energy in his body.

Even then, the king grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall.

"What's wrong? Do you not realize it the whole time? I thought you were supposed to be good at observing people.

"You don't even realize your father has become a demonic human? Well, you probably don't know. After all, I'm the first demonic human in this kingdom."

"!!!" Wendy panicked, struggling to get some air. At the same time, it looked like his words gave her a realization. "No way… Was it at that time?"

A decade ago. Her father was a good man. He pursued the true stability of the kingdom, but for some reason, he became cold and acted like a fool, as if his previous self was nothing but an illusion.

"You…" Wendy gritted her teeth.

"It looks like you have realized it. I won't die. This kingdom will be destroyed. Noel Ardagan will die. The demons will rule supreme." The king grinned. "And for that, you will have to die.

"Thank you for telling me all the people I should kill, Daughter."

"No!" Wendy screamed as though she fell into despair. She had made a huge blunder. It was supposed to be the last time they talked before the king succumbed to his wounds. Yet, the king turned out to be faking his reaction to extract information from her.

"Hahahaha. I will send those people to you soon. So, die—!" The king wanted to snap her neck. Even though neither of them had spiritual energy in their body, the king was a demonic human, so his physical strength was much greater than Wendy's, who was a normal human. Snapping her neck wouldn't be that hard.

Yet, when he was about to do it, his strength suddenly dissipated as he coughed up blood.

"Gah!" The king fell to his knees while clutching his chest. "You…"

Wendy's expression turned cold again, as if everything she had shown was fake the whole time.

"I did observe you. I had long known about this fact… However, I wish to personally end you instead of asking for another person's help. This is my duty as royalty. I guess… the poison takes much longer than I expected…"

Wendy's face was firm. "Thank you for showing your true nature… I can finally confirm that my father has been gone since that day ten years ago. Perish, you demon. Humanity shall persist."
