"Wait a minute."

When the king's voice came, Bot's whole body trembled slightly.

The hand gripping the doorknob was immediately soaked with sweat.

He took a deep breath before looking behind him, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, is there anything else you require?"

Cold sweat began to trickle down Bot's face, but he maintained a faint smile, not daring to show the slightest fear.

Tonight's events can only be described as dramatic and unpredictable.

For Bote, it was an experience he would never forget.

He was always very careful when he spoke, afraid that he might accidentally anger the king and lose his life.

Even so, he felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

If he survives, he will be eternally grateful to the king.

No matter how scared he was or how much pressure he was under, he would always manage to process it all alone with a smile on his face.

However, the king had no idea about, nor was he interested in, Bert's inner thoughts.

As long as Bote can get his business done, he can live.

If not, then there is no need to live.

The reason why Bote was suddenly called down was naturally because there was something he needed to entrust to him.

"Eve will still be in command for this operation, and you and the other three captains will assist you."

The king originally intended to hand over command of these three teams to Bote.

After all, he knows the most about this matter, which makes it much easier for him to take action.

But seeing Bote's cautious demeanor immediately changed her mind.

Such a timid person can be used, but not reused.

He was able to risk his life to do his utmost to carry out the orders he gave.

Yet, they might also sell themselves without hesitation for their own lives.

Other things are easy to discuss.

However, since this matter involves a witch, he has to be more cautious.

There were also considerations behind entrusting this matter to Eve.

Her identity as a calamity was known to no one except a very few people in the church.

Without the identity of a calamity, but possessing royal status, she can easily command three royal reconnaissance teams.

Under her command, the probability of conflicts arising from mutual dissent will become very small, almost non-existent.

Without this situation, it is naturally easier to take action and efficiency will be greatly improved.

It can also prevent Bot from betraying them.

Of course, these are not the primary objectives.

What he really wanted was for Eve to go there, and he wanted to see if he could fully explore her abilities through this incident.

Each calamity possesses a special ability.

Aside from her initial few outbursts of control, Eve was almost indistinguishable from a normal person.

This also meant that no one, including Eve herself, knew what kind of ability she had gained.

If the king can discover her abilities during this operation, it would be a good thing for him.

At least he'll have a plan if Eve gets out of control in the future.

This was his consideration as a king and a father.

Looking into the king's deep and weathered eyes, Bot felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

Without hesitation, he immediately bowed and accepted the greeting with his head bowed.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will certainly assist Her Highness in completing this mission."

Seeing this, the king had no intention of keeping Bote there any longer, and casually waved his hand without saying anything more.

Upon seeing this, Bote felt a great sense of relief and his whole body felt much lighter.

However, he is still in the king's study and dares not show it at all.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the king's study.

"Phew, as long as I can survive, I don't care about command or anything like that."

Bote looked up at the countless stars hanging on the curtain and secretly rejoiced that he had lived another day.

Between power and life, he preferred his own life.

After a brief moment of reflection, he left the palace without stopping, preparing to deliver the king's orders to the other two captains.

The princess was in charge of this operation, so he naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.

There was no other way; she was the only princess in the entire empire, and the king's darling.

If you anger the king, he might give you a chance to live out of consideration for your past hard work.

But if you anger the princess, the king will not give you even a second to waste.

Bote didn't want to risk his life over such a small detail.

......

Inside the king's study, the king held a quill pen and busied himself at his desk.

He handled most of the important political affairs of the empire, which was relatively time-consuming.

However, this means that he was a powerful emperor with supreme authority.

Unfortunately, in recent years, this fascinating power has diminished.

The cause of it all was the sudden increase in calamities, which gave the church the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Now that witches have been involved, the already unpredictable future has become even more elusive.

Both calamities and witches posed a significant threat to his rule.

Unless they obtain the crown and find a way to upgrade this magical artifact to a mythical-grade magical artifact, there is no way to break the threat from the church.

The church, which can supposedly rid the masses of calamities, is far too authoritative.

If the witch gets involved again, even if he is the king of the empire, he will not be able to stop the rise of the church.

"It's bad enough already, we absolutely can't drag the witch into this."

The king gripped the quill pen tightly and slammed it hard onto the table.

Ink splashed and landed on the government documents he was approving.

He didn't care about it, but just crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground in slight annoyance.

He stood up with his hands behind his back, walked to the window and looked out, taking in the entire view of the palace.

After a long while, he turned and left the study, walking quickly toward Eve's room.

He needed to explain some details of this mission to his daughter.

In any case, the true origin of these eight bodies must be found out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to settle down.

There was a knock on the door, and the maid opened it. The moment she saw the king himself, she immediately knelt on the ground.

The king ignored him and went straight into the room.

Seeing Eve sitting upright on the sofa reading a book, my previously irritable mood improved somewhat.

"Father, what brings you here?"

After a long while, Eve noticed her father and hurriedly stood up, as if to bow.

However, he was interrupted by the king.

"Eve, I've come to see you suddenly because I have something very important to ask you to do."

He then gave a brief account of the crown, the corpse, and the witch.

He then placed the detailed report that Bot had given him on the table.

"Here is the detailed information. Take a look at it tonight so you can quickly take over the reconnaissance team's work tomorrow."

Eve was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and digested everything the king had just said.

"I understand, Father. I will definitely handle this matter well."

Her clear eyes were filled with determination, and the resolve she wanted to express could be seen in her gaze.

The king was naturally very pleased with this and couldn't help but nod slightly.

But before he could say anything, Eve's voice came again.

"However, Father, I would like Su Tu to come and help me with this operation."

This time, it was the king's turn to be stunned.

But after seeing Eve's determined look, he smiled and nodded.

"Can."
