After Karin held back the members of the Star-Seeking Brigade who appeared here for unknown reasons, Xia Ye took Keliya and rushed to the room where the emperor was.

Since the enemy has appeared inside the imperial city, the emperor may have been killed long ago - but even so, Claire still plans to witness this ending.

If she doesn't do this, she will probably regret it for the rest of her life.

"This is it...Sister Xia Ye!"

"Please step back. There might be a trap here."

Compared to the anxious Klia, Xia Ye at this time still maintained the necessary calmness.

Why would the enemy appear here? The Star-Seeking Brigade might be planning to use the dying emperor to do something.

Considering that the imperial capital is now surrounded by the Second Prince's army, the other party may be planning to take the opportunity to plunge the empire into chaos.

"Well... Sister Xia Ye, I'm counting on you."

And Claire didn't really lose her mind. After she was unable to use her power, she was actually not as reckless as before.

But before the two of them officially entered the emperor's bedroom, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

"Wow, there are guests at this time. Interesting."

The person who walked out of the palace was obviously not an imperial official or the emperor's attendant.

Wearing a simple mask that completely covered his face and a strange uniform - this person's attire was very similar to those of the Star-Seeking Tournament members he had met before.

His voice, which was clearly masculine, was difficult to discern because of the mask.

"who!"

"Oh? The woman who came here specially at this time must be the genius princess who practices both magic and martial arts, right? I have heard of you for a long time."

Compared to Klia who could only ask questions, Xia Ye's reaction was even more intense.

Countless black threads instantly shot out from her fingertips, weaving an imperceptible fine net around the mysterious man. She also quickly stepped forward and blocked Keliya with her body.

However, the other party did not react at all, as if they simply did not bother to fight with them.

"But unfortunately, the emperor you are looking for just passed away."

"Could it be you—"

"No, there's no reason for me to give him a ride at a time like this. He just didn't make it, that's all."

Although she couldn't see the other person's face, the arrogant and teasing tone had already completely infuriated Claire.

This person is most likely one of the masterminds - if he is let go here, more people will be harmed because of him later.

"Oh, by the way, to avoid misunderstanding, I have to explain one thing first - Armand VII was once a member of the Star Seeking Group."

"Varied……"

Is this a lie that the other party is trying to confuse us? No... In this case, it doesn't make any sense for the other party to tell such a lie.

But if what he said was true, then doesn't it mean that Armand VII was also one of the masterminds of this conspiracy?

"Twenty years ago, he and Maren Moti were both members of the Star Seekers... Can't believe it? Then take a look at this."

As he spoke, the mysterious man took out a strange little device from his pocket and threw it directly to Xia Ye who was standing in front of Keliya.

Aries, who was always alert, reached out to catch the thing thrown by the other party, only to find that it was a magic prop specially used for recording images.

"Even if what you said is true...so what?"

Since Keliya was still in shock, Xia Ye questioned the other party on her behalf.

However, the mysterious man in the mask just spread his hands casually, as if he didn't want to talk about it too much.

"You two ladies should leave here as soon as possible. The Star Seeking Brigade will soon overload the city's psychic pipelines and cause a disaster similar to a psychic explosion."

"Aren't you one of them? Why are you telling us this?"

"I do have some connection with the Star Seekers, but I am not one of them. The reason I followed them to the Empire was just to find out why Armand VII and Maren Moti betrayed them... That's all."

This man is not a member of the Star Seeking Group?

But even if this is true, he must have done something shameful.

"I don't want to hear any explanation...Sister Xia Ye!"

"——Give up, Princess and this demon lady. With your current level, it is impossible for you to defeat me."

Xia Ye had already finished accumulating power at this time - she had originally planned to directly gather the silk threads and forcibly attack the opponent, and then use [Soul Capture] to search the opponent's memory.

But after the other party waved his hand nonchalantly, all the silk threads that had been woven into the formation suddenly broke.

"I have no interest in the Star Child that the Star Seeking Brigade is looking for, nor do I want to get involved in the internal disputes of the empire... So today, please allow me to take my leave first."

Before Xia Ye could rush to the other party, the masked man waved his hand again. Then a strong spiritual power directly enveloped his body, making him disappear in front of the two people.

"Finally, let me introduce myself - I am the one who will eventually make this planet surrender and find a way for mankind to evolve... Well, I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

As the floating sound gradually faded away, the mysterious man disappeared along with the spiritual power that dissipated like dust.

After seeing this unbelievable scene, Keliya and Xia Ye couldn't help but frown.

"Your Highness, the power of that person... is a little strange."

The man's strength didn't seem to be very strong, but Xia Ye felt an indescribable weirdness from him.

It was a familiar yet strange confusion, as if I had seen that person somewhere before.

"...Let's ignore him for now, let's go...check on our father's condition."

Although Claire was also confused about the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, she still did not forget what she should do.

That person said that the emperor was dead...I must go and see it with my own eyes.

……

After entering the emperor's bedroom, a solemn atmosphere enveloped Claire.

In her somewhat vague memories, the emperor doted on her when she was a child - but this doting eventually aroused the jealousy of the two princes, leaving her with unforgettable scars.

But she is not the emperor's biological daughter.

"Father, I, your son, am here to see you."

There were no servants in the bedroom at this time, and the man who once ruled the empire was lying quietly on a luxurious and large bed.

——He failed to take back power from the nobles, so no one saw him off when he died.

"Your Highness, here is a letter signed to you... There is some spiritual power reflected on it, it is very likely written by the man just now."

But in the end, this not-so-great emperor still left some valuable information to his daughter.
