“Dear brother, are you surprised to see me?”

A few figures slowly appeared from outside, led by the Princess Royal who was claimed to be assassinated. Behind her followed Merlin and a few others, all full-shifters.

Besides Merlin, there were four other full-shifters who were the Princess Royal’s hidden forces. Although on the surface, the Princess Royal’s forces could not compare to the second prince’s; in reality, both the Princess Royal and the second prince had hidden forces.

These four shifters were the Princess Royals forces, which even surprised Merlin.

The second prince’s expression was ashen. He glanced at the shocking scene on the ground and his face gradually became solemn.

“Dear brother, this Shadowthorn dared to be disrespectful to you, meaning he has disrespected the whole royal family. Although you’re prejudiced against me, this Shadowthorn has committed lèse majesté and has to die! I simply took care of it for you.”

Then, a full-shifter behind her directly pummeled Shadowthorn into a pulp on the ground with an invisible fist. Immediately, the entire hall was filled with the stench of blood.

The three full-shifters behind the second prince grew nervous. Earlier, the three of them had failed to hold Shadowthorn back and was only able to injure Shadowthorn.

Although the Princess Royal was suspected to be acting out of her own interest, to be able to kill Shadowthorn so easily was not something that a regular full-shifter could do. They all knew that the full-shifter who killed Shadowthorn was not the real problem. The truly terrifying one was the person who severely injured Shadowthorn earlier and sent him flying to the second prince.

“Lisa, my dear sister. I wonder which powerful gentleman it was who helped me deal with Shadowthorn?” The second prince appeared calm and asked evenly.

Lisa looked at Merlin and said, “Marquis Leon, it seems like my dear brother wants to thank you.”

“Marquis Leon?”

The second prince’s expression twitched. He knew that the Princess Royal recently recruited a strong person who was also the deputy team leader of Phantom’s Intelligence Team.

He had originally thought that Merlin was just slightly stronger than a regular full-shifter. However, it seemed that Merlin had gone far beyond the category of an ordinary full-shifter. Perhaps he had already caught up to the mysterious Minster Farron.

The second prince’s face became increasingly unsightly. After a long while, he said with a heavy voice, “Lisa, I’ve investigated clearly. Shadowthorn, who assassinated you before, dared to sneak into my palace to assassinate me. Thankfully, he did not succeed. You came just in time to kill Shadowthorn.”

The second prince was able to come up with a solution in such a short amount of time. Since Shadowthorn was dead anyway, he could not refute no matter what accusations were pinned on him.

The smile on the Princess Royal’s face gradually disappeared. She glared at the second prince and suddenly sneered. “Hehe, brother dearest, you’re so cruel that you even raised your hand against me! Furthermore, Father did not even punish you. Haha, the royal family doesn’t care about family ties at all. In that case, I have nothing to worry about.”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh.”

With a wave of her hand, the four full-shifters behind the Princess Royal stood in four directions and formed a circle, trapping the second prince within.

“Lisa, what are you doing?” The second prince’s face paled as he shouted sternly.

The Princess Royal continued to sneer. “What do you think I’m doing? I’m simply doing to you what you did to me.”

At that moment, the second prince finally felt ‘fear.’ Even the King had to be wary of him ever since he took authority but the second prince began to be afraid when he faced the situation before him.

The second prince’s forces were not limited to three full-shifters but because he had to deal with Shadowthorn today, he only arranged for three full-shifters to accompany him as he did not want Shadowthorn to be suspicious. Everyone else had been assigned somewhere else. He did not expect that his plan would land him in a very dangerous situation.

“Kill!”

With the Princess Royal’s command, the four full-shifters immediately shapeshifted into fierce almighty beasts and charged towards the second prince.

The three full-shifters under the second prince were not to be outdone and also shapeshifted, doing their best to resist. At that time, the entire hall began to shake, as if it could not bear the battle shockwaves of seven full-shifters.

With this, the second prince also calmed down a little. He sat in the large chair and stared at the battle between both sides. The four full-shifters the Princess Royal had brought were as strong as the second prince’s three full-shifters but the Princess Royal had one additional person, which gave them a quantitative advantage.

The strength of both sides was similar. Therefore, the side with the numerical advantage immediately gained the upper hand and suppressed the three full-shifters under the second prince.

The battle between the almighty beasts was very fierce and the shockwaves were enough to destroy the entire hall. However, the second prince burst out laughing. “Haha, Lisa, even I could only use Shadowthorn, but you’re trying to kill me foolishly and out in the open. Once your actions here are discovered by Father, would you still stand a chance?”

The second prince looked at the palace that was constantly shaking and regained his confidence. After all, he was the second prince and held true authority. If the king knew what was going on here, he would certainly intervene immediately.

As long as he did not die, he could take advantage of this opportunity to launch an all-round attack on the Princess Royal, which would suppress the Princess Royal’s power. That would allow him more opportunities to compete for the throne.

“Is that so? Do you think I would act without making preparations? Absolute Divine Realm!”

The Princess Royal took out a crimson orb and injected her blood into it. Then, the orb began to emit a strange Divine Realm, which shrouded and dissolved the seven full-shifters who were fighting within in. No movements could be seen from the outside.

This was a very practical and powerful treasure and was one of the most precious treasures the Princess Royal possessed. Clearly, it was used this time to thoroughly deal with the second prince.

The second prince’s expression paled again. The Princess Royal was incredibly well-prepared. It seemed that he really was in danger this time.

In the scene of the battle, although the Princess Royal’s four-shifters had the upper hand, it was still very difficult to defeat the three full-shifters under the second prince in a short time.

Therefore, Merlin finally asked, “Lisa, do you need me to act?”

The Princess Royal hesitated. She knew that one Merlin stepped in, there would be no doubt that the second prince would die which was why she still hesitated.

However, it was only for a moment. Soon, she gritted her teeth and said, “Leon, do it. Be sure to kill the second prince. There is no compromise between us!”

Indeed, now that things had developed to this point, there was no more compromise that could be achieved. One of them had to die.

Merlin nodded and looked up at the second prince. The second prince’s gaze also happened to meet Merlin’s and immediately, the second prince understood that Merlin was going to step in.

“Am I really going to die today?”

Seeing Merlin’s eyes, the second prince suddenly had a feeling that he would not be able to escape the calamity today.

“Sigh, Princess Royal, Your Highness, why must it come to this? Your father would be heartbroken if he finds out that you’re killing each other…”

Suddenly, a light voice sounded from outside the hall. Even the Absolute Divine Realm could not stop this sound.

Merlin, who was just about to act, raised his eyebrows and immediately stopped. A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as his gaze fixed outside the hall. He calmly said, “You’ve finally come…”

Merlin did not seem surprised at the arrival of this mysterious person.
