The crown prince was still unable to understand what was really going on, the best plan he had prepared had really gone according to what he had thought before.
Slowly the smoke from the explosion began to dissipate, the crown prince who opened his eyes felt extremely shocked when he found Kulen who was still standing in front of him.
Different from before, Kulen's entire body was already filled with blood. Not only that, there were burns as well as broken hands as a result of enduring the collision of stones thrown by special trebuchets.
The crown prince said with his mouth shaking "Kulen, you-".
Before he could finish his words, Kulen had already turned to look at the crown prince. Although his entire body was covered in blood, Kulen still smiled happily "Luckily master did not suffer any injuries, with this then Kulen did not fail to protect master. But Kulen was a little sorry for not being able to see the lord become emperor, sorry master, this minister of yours must leave first before you can achieve your dream of becoming emperor!".
After that, Kulen's body fell to the ground weakly, although it did not appear to have any fatal injuries, actually the collision of the trebuchet stone had already destroyed many organs of Kulen. Not to mention that Kulen had to protect the crown prince at the same time, hence the wound became so much worse that it could not hold on anymore.
Not only Kulen, the rebel forces and Folk on the other side of the capital also experienced the same thing. They were suddenly shot by a trebuchet that was supposed to be the crown prince's secret weapon to become emperor, he said, as for their life and death then most of them would have already died because the power of this particular trebuchet was indeed very frightening.
Seeing the results of the trebuchet shot, Nera felt a little gloomy, if she did not get the information from Fillie earlier then she must have been harmed by this trebuchet. Although Nera can stop trebuchet bullets without problems while in the sky, but if there are thousands of bullets at the same time it is still very difficult for Nera to stop it.
The biggest question now is where does the crown prince get all these trebuchets from, Nera would not believe that the crown prince collected all these trebuchets using his own money, at the very least there should be support from Ark and Tersin to gather all of this.
...----------------...
Yena, the imperial saint magician was already sitting on the ground, there were some injuries on her body but all those injuries were not fatal. More precisely when the stone on the trebuchet rushed towards Folk, Yena was able to dodge in time so she was still alive. While Folk then the man was not at all lucky, Yena still could not forget that the stone on the trebuchet precisely shot Folk's head to shreds.
As Yena slowly stood up from the ground, she looked at Folk's corpse with a hint of sadness, although they are now enemies but they were once friends so there is still a bit of sadness when it comes to knowing that Folk is dead.
Holding back her grief, Yena raised her head to stare towards the imperial palace while muttering "What is really going on here? I must return to the palace as soon as possible, before anything happens to the emperor!".
Yena rushed to the palace, although she was still confused as to who the rebel leader was or where all the trebuchets besieging the capital came from. But Yena could now only suppress her confusion, what was most important was ensuring the emperor's life as well as protecting him.
...----------------...
The crown prince stood quietly beside Kulen's corpse, his eyes that had looked so bright now became empty, more precisely the crown prince was simply unable to accept the fact of his failure.
Nera slightly shook her head in disappointment, it seemed that the crown prince was not that strong. At least when all the events did not go according to his plan, the crown prince's soul was instantly shattered to the point of making him look so empty like this.
Hearing Nera's words, the crown prince regained his senses.
After which, the crown prince looked at Nera with red eyes full of vengeance. He who has regained consciousness now thinks that all this happened due to Nera, if Nera was not around then Kulen and the others would not need to die then he could become emperor tomorrow with everyone's support.
The crown prince drew the sword at his waist, then he stepped forward towards Nera while slashing his sword "Dead, Nera! The one who will become emperor is me! I won't let you interfere with the plans I've made over the decades, I definitely won't fail!".
Before Nera could say anything, a woman's cold voice sounded "Crown prince, from the very beginning then your plan has failed!".
Right now the figure of a woman standing in front of Nera, she slashed her sword in order to stop the sword belonging to the crown prince.
"But!".
The sound of a sword collision rang out, the crown prince had to retreat by several meters due to the collision, even the sword in his hand had already been thrown backwards.
The crown prince who felt the pain in front of him immediately saw the person who stopped his sword quickly, based on the voice he heard just now then he should have known this woman but based on what the crown prince knew then the strength of the woman should not be this strong. At the very least, that woman's strength should not be stronger than her.
The crown prince observed the woman in front of him to find out that what he was thinking was not wrong, the woman in front of him was really Astre Fillie Ancient V, who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who had been thinking about him, the woman before him was actually Astre Fillie Ancient V, another son of the Emperor but his mother was different from the mother of the crown prince.
"Fillie, are you the one behind all this? You have always acted like an intelligent woman who does not care about power, in the end you are still infatuated with the power of the emperor!", the crown prince shouted furiously, however, Phillie always acted as if he did not care about the position of emperor every day.
Filie held the sword in her hand firmly and shook her head "I still don't care about the position of emperor, if it wasn't for the empire to be destroyed if it was led by a fool like you, then I definitely have no interest in obtaining the position of this emperor. Besides, I'm not the one who led this plan, but the master who made this plan".
"Master?", said the crown prince in surprise, then he looked towards Nera like he knew something "Fillie, have you gone mad? As an imperial family, how can we allow others to take the throne of this emperor! Fillie, as an ancient imperial family, aren't you ashamed of helping others rule the empire? Moreover, the person you are helping is just a lowly adventurer!".
Hearing the crown prince's words, Fillie said strangely "Wait, do you still not know who is in front of you?".
"Who? Isn't that a lowly adventurer named Nera? How is it that as an ancient imperial family, you let lowly adventurers take our power!", the crown prince shouted again.
When Fillie plans to explain who Nera really is, Nera raises her hand to stop Filie "Let me do it alone!".
After that Nera stepped forward with the Fetish following behind her, since all plans to obtain the empire were already completed then there was no longer any need to continue hiding their identity.
