妻子的情人

Chapter 66: Tit for tit

Xander had only come here for some boring inspection duty, but he unexpectedly managed to stumble upon such an interesting scene!

His long silver locks flickered in the wind against his black robe and his face looked as cold as ever, covered by the devil’s mask.

But underneath, the elf’s red blood eyes gleamed with interest and his thin lips slightly turned upwards.

The elf was visibly amused.

He couldn’t help but recollect all the commotion the beautiful snake had caused him since she had stepped inside the elven palace.

He chuckled lightly.

His dark red orbs gazed at the black belly snake smirking and smiling secretly, having fun at Marvin’s expense for a few more seconds.

“You indeed have talent in alchemy. Now let’s see just how far you can go.” The elf absent-mindedly mumbled.

He chuckled again before disappearing into the darkness.

…

…

…

While the crown prince might have witnessed the entire thing in person, news soon reached others who weren’t present as well about Tang Yue’s stunning talent in alchemy.

Charlotte’s entire body stiffed.

Her eyes narrowed and her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her skin almost drawing blood.

“Get out.” She muttered.

The palace aide combing her long silver hair trembled slightly.

She left the hair half done and immediately excused herself.

The two other palace aides in the chamber as well quickly excused themselves.

Charlotte flicked her blue robe with peacock patterns and stood up.

She then retrieved a space pouch from her robe. From that, she took out a small inconspicuous jade slip.

She gritted her teeth in anger and rotated her cultivation base to quickly crush the jade slip.

A warm glow shimmered around her body and Charlotte angrily enunciated. “Why is she still alive?”

The jade slip in her hand magically disappeared soon after that, as if it had never existed.

Charlotte’s fully developed bosom heaved up and down as she walked outside angrily.

The aides who were waiting outside quickly followed behind her with their heads bowed down.

Today was clearly not the day they could dare look at their mistress.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the city:

A goblin stumbled and spat out the drink in his mouth.

“What the hell?” His eyes bulged in surprise.

Just a second ago, weirdly Charlotte’s voice echoed in his mind saying a few words.

Of course, he quickly understood what had happened, just that the sudden unexpected voice startled him.

The jade slip which Charlotte had crushed was a priced rune trinket she had obtained from her father, one of Crown Prince’s private army Generals.

The expensive jade slip was meant for sending long distance sound transmissions, perfected for use in the elven army by Xavier.

Though the elf kidded around and indulged himself for most parts of the day, there was no doubt that he was almost a rune grandmaster.

The message was typically delivered within the next few minutes, resounding in the other party’s mind.

So the goblin Ginko, as well, received it instantly.

“Heh… What a pampered princess?!” He murmured to the associate sitting in front of him.

“Does she think killing a member of the royal family is that simple?”

“Not even giving me the time to plan! Hmph.” Ginko frustratedly emptied the drink in his hands.

“Ginko, are you sure you want to take this job?” The goblin named Gale asked, his voice filled with concern.

The only reason they had managed to thrive so far as a hidden association was because they hadn’t yet managed to get the attention of the tyrant in the high castle.

If they by chance irked him in some way, it wouldn’t be surprising if the entire assassin association was wiped out in an instant.

“Hmm… I investigated already. The prince doesn’t care about the snake. He wouldn’t look too much into it.”

“I am planning to make it as if she died in a mission. Now all I have to do is wait for her to accept one of the trainee missions.” Ginko explained.

“Oh! That’s a sound plan.” Gale nodded.

“Come let’s celebrate the snake princess’s successful exam clearance! Aha Ha Ha.” Ginko chuckled.

“Hai. Hai.”

They both clinked their drinks together and continued chatting about other things.
