Chapter 839 - 558: It’s Still Time to Act Now (3rd Update, 12,000 Words)_2
Driven by greed, the surviving nobles started moving with unprecedented frequency, contacting every power they could, hoping to bolster their influence.
Among them, the most powerful figure capable of supporting their claim to the throne was Qin Chu.
This Second Generation Brave Warrior is now the Pope of the Holy Court, holding the divine power over the entire Sky Dome Continent.
Recently, countless nobles have visited the Hero’s Palace hoping to meet Qin Chu, but all were rejected.
Qin Chu made his stance clear through Veronica.
He has no interest in the throne.
He doesn’t care who becomes the new Emperor and definitely won’t engage in the competition for the throne.
Meanwhile, Silf has been at Carol’s side, conveying another message: you can compete for the throne, but no one can harm Carol.
Carol, the Princess, was regarded by those nobles as the greatest threat in the contest for the throne. After all, Carol is a member of the current Hero Team and has a good relationship with Qin Chu. With Qin Chu’s support, she will surely become the first Empress of the Oville Empire.
The nobles’ plans to assassinate Carol have been attempted countless times these days, but killing Carol under Silf’s watch is simply impossible with the assassins they have.
On the way to the Imperial Palace, anxious crowds could be seen hurriedly passing through the night.
The air seemed to be filled with a faint smell of blood.
