Chapter 308 (2): “Let me be an arbiter of justice.” - Death Knight
At the front of the banquet hall stood four chairs. Two belonged to the royal family—the Queen and the Prince Consort. The Death Knight occupied one of the other two. But what about the fourth chair?
Everyone’s gaze shifted to the black-robed woman. Was she another chosen knight?
Douglas didn’t keep them waiting long. He was eager to reveal the answer. After introducing the Death Knight, he turned to present the Queen’s second distinguished ally.
“This elegant lady is from the Church of Darkness. Forgive me for not mentioning her name, but her identity is worth noting.”
“The executor of the Goddess of Darkness’s oracles in the mortal realm, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Darkness!”
“Her Holiness the Holy Maiden represents the Church of Darkness and has established a partnership with the royal family. More than that, we are to be steadfast allies. In the future, Londan will become the Church of Darkness’s primary district.”
Like a stone cast into still waters and causing endless ripples, the crowd erupted with astonishment and clenched their teeth. The Queen had been quiet, but when she made a move, she played two trump cards that would guarantee her victory. There really was no turning the tables from this.
Although the Holy Maiden of the Church of Darkness might not rival the Death Knight in standing, she was more than qualified to represent the Church of Darkness and even the Goddess of Darkness.
Everyone’s awe and resignation put a smile on Douglas’s face. Truth be told, he had encountered Anastasia entirely by chance. It was all luck. After years of lying low, his fortune finally turned for the better.
What are you going to do now, Auston?
Whatever you do, don’t surrender, or it’ll be too boring!
