Out of jealousy, a princess came to Chi Jibai's palace under the pretext of "visiting her brother". If the knight had not discovered and stopped her in time, the princess would have almost killed Chi Jibai with magic.

When the king learned about this, he was furious and ordered the execution of the princess. Before his death, he cursed the unfair royal family with resentment, cursing Chi Jibai for not having a good death in the end, wondering why he was not the most outstanding person in the royal family.

Afterwards, the king wanted to execute all the children except Chi Jibai, but several concubines in the harem cried and begged for mercy, the queen tried to stop him, and the nobles advised him with fear, so he gave up the idea.

But even so, these princes and princesses were not allowed to enter and leave Chi Jibai's palace at will on weekdays. Even if they had something to say, they had to do it under the supervision of the knights. It was not until Chi Jibai grew up a little and Shen Yuzhi followed him that the situation improved a lot and was no longer under strict guard.

Today is Chi Jibai's tenth birthday party, and also the ceremony for his advancement to a holy magician. According to the rules, the princes and princesses have to present gifts to celebrate the birthday of their nominal younger brother.

This was not the first time. After all, they had to come for every Chi Jibai’s birthday, so it was nothing strange. However, the atmosphere here still made them feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, they were not the protagonists and could leave after presenting their gifts.

Although Chi Jibai did not look down on these half-princes and princesses, he had never developed any feelings for them after all, so he just smiled politely and gave them some face.

When it came to the last one, there was only a princess who was born after Chi Jibai. She looked only five years old, with thick and dense eyelashes that made her eyes watery. Her slightly chubby cheeks had shallow dimples, and her eyes curved into crescents when she looked at Chi Jibai.

She was the youngest child in the royal family. She developed a chronic illness due to the negligence of the maid when she was a child. She was always weak and sickly and rarely saw people.

The twelfth princess had never seen Chi Jibai before, but when she saw him, her eyes lit up, which made Chi Jibai, who had been wondering where Shen Yuzhi had gone, feel much better.

"elder brother!"

She said this boldly, and was about to stumble over with the box in her hand, but was stopped by the knight again.

"Twelfth Princess, you cannot go over there. Your subordinates can deliver the gift on your behalf."

The knight said firmly, not intending to make way for the twelfth princess.

There was a hint of confusion in her clear eyes, as if she didn't understand why she couldn't get close to Chi Jibai. She seemed a little frightened by the knight's strength. She leaned back slightly and clenched the baby-like gift box in her hands.

"Come back soon, come back."

Behind her, the Seventh Princess whispered anxiously to remind the Twelfth Princess, asking her to come back quickly and not ruin the atmosphere here, otherwise it would not end well for Chi Jibai or the king to be angry.

A look of fear was visibly evident on the face of the twelfth princess. She glanced at Chi Jibai hesitantly and was about to retreat when Chi Jibai's voice rang out.

"Let her come."

The knight quickly retreated after receiving the order. The twelfth princess then ran towards Chi Jibai with a smile and fell while going up the stairs. Fortunately, the soft blanket prevented her skin from being injured.

"elder brother!"

The twelfth princess boldly came to Chi Jibai and presented him her gift box, which she even decorated with patterns using her childish brush.

Chi Jibai didn't hate his brothers and sisters, nor did he look down on them. It was just that because of the incident with the princess, these princes and princesses were unwilling and afraid to approach Chi Jibai. Now that someone took the initiative to approach him, Chi Jibai would not refuse.

He took the gift, whispered thank you, and then opened the gift box under the expectant eyes of the twelfth princess.

The next second, a black gas suddenly surged out. Even if Chi Jibai reacted and wanted to stop it, it was too late. The black gas surrounded him in an instant, and the twelfth princess was stunned for a while, and suddenly fell to the ground and died.

The sudden change caused chaos in the entire banquet hall. The knights rushed forward to protect Chi Jibai, only to find that Chi Jibai had disappeared in the black fog, and a shadow skeleton pattern appeared on the face of the twelfth princess.

There are people named Ying Hai inside the palace who have taken action!

"His Royal Highness the Prince is missing!"

Suddenly, screams and trampling sounds were heard, and unrest swept through the entire palace.

-

In the back garden of the palace, the Son of God looked at the black fog rising into the sky and knew that things were going according to his plan.

There will always be some princes and princesses who are unwilling to give in, so he only needs to use some small tricks to make them willingly join Ying Hai and work for him.

After all, the Son of God can help them ignore the side effects of energy crystals and increase their strength without any burden.

It is true that only the strongest person in the Nosha Empire can become the next monarch, but until the end, who can be sure that this person will be Chi Jibai?

"You didn't tell me that."

Shen Yuzhi frowned, then took out his staff from thin air to test it, and actually one of the magic spells was shattered.

Time-distorting magic?

"You misled me about the timing."

Of course Shen Yuzhi would not miss Chi Jibai's birthday gift, but he was called here by the Son of God, but he didn't know that the Son of God used the magic of time distortion. In Shen Yuzhi's consciousness, there should be fifteen minutes of preparation time, but now it has come to the stage of giving gifts.

If magic was used on Shen Yuzhi, he would definitely notice it. Therefore, the Son of God did not do that. Instead, he used magic on the entire palace. It was not Shen Yuzhi who was misled, but the people in the palace. Even a top magician like Dinar did not detect the Son of God's magic.

The purpose of the Son of God doing this is self-evident.

"You're on guard against me."

Shen Yuzhi's voice suddenly became cold, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.

The Son of God didn't need to do this. He was just guarding against Shen Yuzhi to prevent him from ruining the plan.

Shen Yuzhi was not aware of this plan.

In response to his inquiry, the Son of God did not hide his original thoughts at all, and nodded very seriously, with an exceptionally mature expression on his still somewhat childish face.

Four years have passed, and the Son of God has grown up a little. He is almost the same height as Chi Jibai, and he is not afraid of Shen Yuzhi's cold expression at all.

"Christian, you seem to have been too immersed in the role these years. Do you really regard yourself as the teacher of the Ninth Prince? You seem to be teaching him very hard. Even if this is not a betrayal of Ying Hai——"

The Son of God paused, unable to continue.

Indeed, Shen Yuzhi looked like he had betrayed Ying Hai, but he could sense the existence of the oath, but did not punish him. It was really strange.

"In short, Christian, it was wrong of me to hide this from you. I will make it up to you later. The plan has been successful for the most part. Next, all you need to do is stay out of it."

Hearing the hidden meaning of the Son of God's words, Shen Yuzhi raised his eyebrows.

The plan this time seems to be targeting Chi Jibai. Ying Hai wants to prevent Shen Yuzhi from hindering the plan, so the Son of God appears here. After all, they have been together for four years and have worked hard together. Will Shen Yuzhi really let Chi Jibai go to his death?
