Chapter 783 - A Demoness In Disguise

Eldora calmly rode through the palace grounds, passing all the magnificent buildings within it.

The royal palace of Deiferus was in itself a masterpiece different from others.

Its buildings didn’t have the usual rectangular shapes, they were more or less focused on arts.

Some buildings looked like a tr.a.p.ezoid, while others formed some sort of optical illusion with them.

It was clear that even though the forefather creators of these buildings didn’t know anything about mathematical shapes, they still created inspirational buildings that would be one in a million.

And hundreds of years later, these buildings were still breathtaking.

Eldora got out of her carriage and headed towards the tallest and largest building within the palace.

This entire building was all for her father alone.

He did his work here, and also slept here, while his wives and children lived in another 4-story building that had different wings within it.

If a wife was favoured or invited, then and only then could she step into her father’s room on the topmost floor of his building.

Of course, the first 3 floors within her father’s building were the only floors that permitted visitors, as there was a garden there, and so on.

But for the rest of the floors going to the topmost one, only those who are permitted by his majesty could step into them.

Even she had never seen these floors.

Nonetheless, she felt like they would soon be hers, so what’s the harm in seeing it now?

.

"Princess, I’m sorry but his majesty has told me not to allow you to step in any further.

He requested for you to wait here.

He will be with you shortly."

With that, the dark masked leader of the guards vanished.

Eldora was irked once more, as she felt that the guard was looking down on her.

In truth, the guard was just acting like his normal self.

But to her, the fact that she didn’t sense fear from the guard meant that he was looking down on her.

She had purposely sliced off hundreds, off not thousands of people’s heads just to instill fear into all.

Okay, she also did that because she hated anyone better than her, or anyone who made mistakes.

Even if they accidentally bumped into her, they had to die.

She had worked so hard to make even her own mother fearful of her, so how could she tolerate a mere guard looking down on her?

Was he saying that all she had done was nothing in his eyes?

She clenched her fists in rage and stood in that same spot with unwillingness.

She swore that once she took over from her father, as he would torture that guard until she saw fear in his eyes.

How dare he look down on her?

[Mr. Guard: (-_-)... A Princess, aren’t you just thinking too much?]

The maids and guards that followed Eldora in dared not comfort their lady.

Who knew if she would place her anger on them instead?

Now that she was angry, they could only pray that his majesty came fast.

They constantly looked at the stairway, hoping that his majesty could pop up now.

Eldora on the other hand took in deep breaths before calmly seating in what seemed to be a lounge since it was filled with Baymardian couches and whatnot.

40 more minutes passed by before her father arrived.

.

"Your majesty!"

Everyone knelt at the sight of his majesty, Julius Tudor.

"Father! Father!

This unfilial daughter was worried sick about you and decided to come and see you as soon as possible.

Are you feeling any better?

Do you need something to eat?

Father, how are you?"

Julius looked at his loving daughter and felt touched.

She came here 2 days ago, and now she’s here again.

It looks like she’s really too worried about him.

Everyone said that his daughter was demonic, but he didn’t believe it.

She had always been gentle and kind brow him.

There was a time that he decided to investigate where these stories came from, since it was his duty as her father to help her clean up her reputation and live a happy life with a good husband.

But when he was just about to begin investigation, several ministers and others claimed that the rumours were fake and that they had already begun taking care of them so as not to worry him.

Seeing his most trusted people saying this, he truly believed in his daughter even more.

But unbeknownst to him, Eldora had blackmailed them with their most hidden secrets.

Some didn’t want their son’s evil deeds out since their enemies will use it to drag them down in the mud, while others protected their own behinds instead.

From embezzlement and so much more, Eldora made them put a stop to her father’s nosy behaviour.

.

Julius, who was now as pale as a leaf, was assisted with everything.

Even though he had done makeup to appear normal, one could see some signs of his illness.

Eldora looked at his pained expression and smiled.

She knew that her half-brother, the 2nd prince, had poisoned her father.

But so what?

His dying would quickly enable her to sit on the throne.

All of her brothers weren’t in the Capital at the moment, and she was here alongside her half-sisters.

They all lived in different estates/manors around the city, which made things easier for her if she wanted to deal with her sisters.

Fortunately, none of them were as ambitious as she was, or else heads will roll.

Eldora looked at the dying Julius and continued her good-daughter act.

And so, she began the waterworks.

"Wooooooo!

Father... I heard that you’re going to write out your will and decree today.

After, why would you do that?

You have a hundred more years to live, so why are you trying to curse yourself?

Father, don’t you know that if you’re hurt, then I will be hurt too?"

Julius looked at the crying Eldora and sighed.

His poor daughter must be very sad right now.

He patted her head and coaxed her like a child several times.

"It’s alright, it’s alright.

Father will live for a hundred more years okay?"

Eldora lifted her face and looked at him with sorrowful puppy dog eyes: "Hmm... I believe in father."

"Good girl.

You don’t have to worry about such things.

As for my decree, I’m still deciding on who should take the throne after my rule, that’s all."

"Oh?

Then father, can I give you a suggestion?"

"Of course you can!

Now daughter, tell me what’s on your mind."

Eldora smiled mysteriously.

"Yes father"
