"Leader Duo Lun, what are you doing?"
The butler Leon looked at Duo Lun with a sword at the queenâs throat, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly shouted.
"Uncle Duo Lun, what are you trying to do? Donât hurt my mother," Xue Na said, her face showing shock at the sudden turn of events, and she looked anxiously at Duo Lun.
"Duo Lun, you have actually betrayed me," Queen Ili said with a remarkably calm demeanor, glancing at Duo Lun with a tinge of heartache.
"Iâm sorry, Your Majesty," Duo Lun said indifferently.
"Liya, youâre behind all this," Queen Iliâs gaze turned to Liya.
At this moment, Liya did not hide anything and scoffed, "Thatâs right, Iâm behind all of this. Duo Lun has been mine for quite some time now, and indeed, I did poison your drink. Itâs just a pity that this bastard ruined everything."
As Liya spoke, her eyes fiercely glared at Ye Luo, flashing a cold chill.
"Why are you doing this? What do you want?" Queen Ili asked coldly.
"I believe the queenâs sister just wants to take your place, right? And the attack on the cruise ship, that must have something to do with her, right?" Ye Luo said leisurely, glancing lightly at Liya.
"Youâre very clever, but unfortunately, youâre going to die," Liya said coldly, looking at Ye Luo.
"You actually want to usurp the throne!" Queen Iliâs expression turned very ugly.
"Thatâs right, if you can be queen, why canât I?" Liya said with an unwilling look in her eyes.
"Do you think even if you kill me, you can become the queen?" Queen Ili asked calmly.
"On my own, of course not, but with their help, it may not be impossible," Liya said before clapping her hands, and a group of people walked in from outside.
The leaders of this group were two men in their forties and fifties, both exuding an air of high authority, obviously not ordinary people.
Whatâs most important was that Jack and Fate both stood beside them, and behind them were several masters with profound strength, all in the Half-Saint Realm, including four or five at the first and second levels of the Saint Realm.
"Laut, Floran, are you also going to betray me, betray the Royal Family?" Queen Ili said to the two men, her composed face suddenly looking extremely upset.
These two were the heads of the two biggest families in Y Country, and they were also the fathers of Jack and Fate. Aside from the government and the royal power, their two families were the highest in status within Y Country.
"Your Majesty, weâre just looking to further grow our familyâs interests. Weâre aware that youâve been trying to reduce the power of our two families in the shadows, in order to consolidate the Royal Familyâs position in Y Country. Weâre only doing this because you forced us," Laut, Fateâs father, said with a smile.
"It seems all this was conspired by you well in advance," Queen Ili said coldly, looking at this group of people.
"My dear sister, now with the support of these two great families, do you think I canât become the next queen of Y Country?" Liya revealed a proud smile as if she had already grasped victory.
"Liya, do you really think that with the power of their two families and Duo Lun, you can take me down? Or do you think that I donât know about the things you and Duo Lun have been doing behind my back?" Queen Ili spoke with a serene expression.
Liyaâs expression changed with shock, and she said, "Youâve known about Duo Lun and me all this time?"
"Indeed, only blame yourselves for being so bold, to audaciously do such things within the Royal Palace. Did you really think the entire palace was under Duo Lunâs guardâs control?" Queen Yiliâs eyes revealed a touch of cold intent.
As Queen Yiliâs voice fell, suddenly four powerful presences burst out in the dining hall. Four figures, dressed in the Silver Knightsâ attire and wielding knightly swords, appeared and simultaneously attacked Duo Lun, whose expression changed. He immediately retracted the longsword from Queen Yiliâs neck and counterattacked the four assailants.
With a bang, the clash of their attacks erupted, unleashing a terrifying surge of energy that forced everyone to stagger backward. Those four experts, clothed in the Silver Knightsâ attire, stood guard in front of Queen Yili, their bodies emanating a sharp aura; all were masters of the Fifth Level of the Saint Realm.
"Silver Knights!"
Duo Lun, seeing these four individuals, spoke with a heavy voice, his expression growing somber.
Liya, Floran, Laut, and others all changed their expressions. Liya directly spoke out, "It seems sister was indeed prepared."
"Duo Lun, considering the many contributions youâve made to the Royal Family, I will give you one more chance. Capture Liya, and I can forgive your crimes," Queen Yili said to Duo Lun directly.
"Duo Lun!" Liyaâs face changed dramatically, and she looked fiercely toward Duo Lun, who returned her gaze with deep affection.
"Iâm sorry, my queen, I love Liya, I cannot betray her," Duo Lun said firmly.
A look of joy appeared on Liyaâs face as she cried out, "Duo Lun, youâre truly wonderful. Hurry, kill her, kill her, and Iâll be queen."
Hearing Liyaâs words, Duo Lun brandished his weapon and charged forward. Immediately, the four Silver Knights swung their swords to meet him, engaging in fierce combat with the Sixth Level Saint Realmâs Duo Lun.
At the same time, outside the dining hall, sounds of battle also erupted as a group of figures in knightly attire, wielding knightly swords, appeared within the Royal Palace, directly confronting the palace guardsâ experts and subduing them one by one.
"Attack, capture the queen!"
At this moment, Floran and Laut simultaneously yelled out, and instantly numerous experts from behind them charged toward Queen Yili.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded as a brilliant yellow sword light burst forth unexpectedly, catching several of the experts off guard and forcing them to stagger back. Their gazes swept across the scene to see Ye Luo standing in front of Queen Yili.
"Itâs you again, you bastard. Father, kill him, kill him!" Jack directed towards his father Floran, his gaze on Ye Luo filled with fierce hatred.
"Father, this man is very powerful," Fate cautioned his father from the side.
"Seize him!"
Following the orders of the two great familiesâ heads, several Saint Realm experts from both families launched their attacks on Ye Luo. Terrifying strength burst forth at that moment, like a colossal tidal wave trying to sweep Ye Luo away.
"Eight Feet Mirror!"
Ye Luo summoned the Eight Feet Mirror, and a beam of white light burst forth, shocking the strongest of the Saint Realm experts, only third level, causing them to stagger back, their faces pale and their Blood Qi boiling.
"Lingyun Sword Technique!"
Ye Luo seized the opportunity to unleash the Lingyun Sword Technique, combining the strength of six supreme meridians, releasing a dazzling sword light.
