Chapter 61: Chapter61-The Revelation of the Incident!


    ?


    "An Azure Kingdom emblem!"


    Seeing the emblem in the box, the white-eyed elder''s expression grew even darker!


    Although the entire scenario seemed like an obvious attempt to frame the Azure royal family, it aligned perfectly with Kyrik''s desire to wage war against the Azure Kingdom.


    Moreover, Bryan was a master-tier mage. He had previously gone to the Azure Kingdom with Prince Billy, only to meet such a fate.


    The number of mages capable of this was very small, likely only that ancient and formidable figure from the Azure Kingdom!


    "Your Majesty, the Azure Kingdom has gone too far! This is an outrage! I suggest we immediately send troops to the Azure Kingdom and demand an explanation from their king!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty, this is intolerable! The Azure Kingdom has repeatedly provoked us. If we, Kyrik, continue to tolerate this, they will only become more arrogant!"


    The ministers, after regaining their composure, began to speak out angrily.


    King Kyrik, also unable to bear it any longer, surveyed his furious ministers and said, "This time, King Aldric must give me an explanation!"


    With a grand gesture, he commanded, "Summon the cavalry, infantry, and spellbeast corps immediately. All families with fighting capabilities in Kyrik must mobilize. Also, send word to Kyrik''s foremost general to lead 300,000 soldiers to the Azure Kingdom!"


    The white-eyed elder hesitated and then asked, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Shouldn''t we seek the opinion of the Emperor Dowager?"


    King Kyrik remained silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly. "The Emperor Dowager has been deeply immersed in cultivation and has not concerned himself with worldly affairs for many years. There is no need to consult him."


    Seeing this, the white-eyed elder remained silent.


    The ministers quickly took their orders and left.


    ...


    In the duke''s mansion, within the courtyard.


    Soft light poured down.


    After a day and night of rushing around, Owen finally returned here, letting out a slight sigh of relief.


    "How did it go on your end?"


    Just as Owen sat down to drink a cup of hot tea and rest, Leslie''s figure appeared before him like a ghost. Her long hair fluttered, carrying a chill.


    However, as she sat down on a stone bench opposite Owen, she seemed both tired and bored, lazily stretching, which accentuated her enticing curves.


    Owen couldn''t help but feel that Leslie was extremely alluring at this moment, causing him to stare a bit more than usual.


    Noticing Owen''s fixed gaze, Leslie asked, "What are you looking at?"


    Owen coughed twice. "Nothing. The treasure map was accurate. Ninety percent of the mana stones and treasures stored in the Azure Kingdom have been looted..."


    After listening to Owen, Leslie nodded in satisfaction. Although Owen sometimes seemed unserious, he handled matters very well.


    auction..."


    Leslie confidently laid out the plan, considering many details and potential changes.


    Owen was impressed.


    If he didn''t know Leslie''s relatively young age, her meticulous approach would have made him think she was an old mastermind, planning everything down to the last detail.


    Indeed, some people were born to be schemers.


    After discussing the details with Leslie and finalizing the plan, Owen prepared to leave the


    courtyard.


    However, just as he reached the gate, he suddenly saw a delicate white hand blocking his way. Madelyn squinted her large eyes, scrutinizing Owen as if he were a heinous criminal.


    "Madelyn, is something wrong?" Owen asked, puzzled, as he looked at her.


    Madelyn glanced at Leslie in the courtyard, grabbed Owen''s hand, and pulled him out of the


    courtyard. She then pushed him against a wall.


    Feeling Madelyn''s eyes getting closer, Owen felt a bit uneasy. Could it be that Madelyn, his sister-in-law, had developed feelings for him?


    Just as he was about to speak, Madelyn gritted her teeth and said, "Owen, was it you who did


    the Kingdom Vault job?!"


    The Azure royal family had entrusted the investigation of the Kingdom Vault to the Eagle


    Guard, and Madelyn was the commander.


    After some investigation, she quickly discovered that the box containing the Godslayer Staff fragment had been opened and immediately thought of Owen.


    However, due to the duchy''s reputation and her sister''s safety, she had to suppress the matter temporarily and hurried over to confront Owen.


    "I don''t understand what you''re talking about," Owen replied coldly. Madelyn ignored Owen''s denial, her voice rising, "Don''t play dumb. I''m trying to save you


    and the duchy! I''ve already discovered that the wooden box contained the handle of the


    Godslayer Staff! This can only be your doing!"


    Owen shook his head, "What makes you think that?"


    Madelyn snorted, "If you have the guts, take out the Godslayer Staff and show me."


    Owen stared at Madelyn unhurriedly, "If it was me, what would you do?"


    Seeing Owen''s demeanor, Madelyn sighed and stepped back, her body slightly weak, "I knew


    it was you. We''re doomed. Robbing the national treasure and killing the prince-if this gets out, my sister, the duchy, and I will be ruined beyond redemption!"
