Chapter 492: Chapter 337: No Salvation, Await Death! (4)_2

"What exactly to do, you Royal Members should discuss it amongst yourselves... Ah, right, don’t do it inside the Imperial Palace; your father might discover it."

"He’s not really a person anymore, at least not a normal one. If Wozworth discovers you gathering together, I can’t guarantee what will happen. And no matter what he gives you, like, say, blood or anything, definitely do not drink it."

Seeing Qin Chu seeming to want to leave, Carol knew this was her last hope. If she couldn’t hold on to Qin Chu, then her father was truly beyond salvation.

She suddenly stepped forward, her small hands enveloping Qin Chu’s right hand in her palms: "Mr. Brave, I beg you, as a hero you must have a way, right?"

"Please, save my father. As long as you can save him, I will do anything you ask!"

Do anything?

Qin Chu raised his eyebrows.

Did this girl even know what she was saying?

His gaze swept over Carol’s body, her skin fair, her figure slender—not Qin Chu’s preferred voluptuous type, but there was a certain unripe seduction to her.

The identity of a Princess also added quite a few points.

Luckily, Qin Chu was a gentleman of integrity.

If it had been some scheming scoundrel, who knows if she would’ve been devoured completely and then discarded without a second thought.

Qin Chu sighed with a hint of helplessness and slowly but firmly withdrew his hand from the princess’s grasp: "I’m sorry Carol, I’m powerless concerning your father’s condition. Take good care of yourself, and if you run into any danger, feel free to come to the palace for help at any time."

"If you wish, you can come live in the palace directly."

Carol’s face turned pale, her body rigid as she continually stepped back.

Biting her white teeth tightly, she knew Qin Chu really had no solution.

She shook her head, declining Qin Chu’s kindness, and executed a flawless court curtsy with her hands clutching her skirt: "I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, for having troubled you for so long."

"But that’s my father. No matter how slim the hope, I will persist until the very last moment."

"However, if my father truly reaches that point, I ask you, Mr. Qin, to grant my father one last bit of dignity."

Qin Chu nodded slightly, as if to say he agreed.

With Qin Chu’s affirmative response, Carol seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodded slightly to Qin Chu once again, then turned and left.

Even though Wozworth was despicable, his daughter was a fine girl... such a pity.

As for whether Wozworth could be saved or not, even Qin Chu himself was not too sure. Wozworth’s condition seemed severe but hadn’t reached the point of no return yet.

If he took the time to study it, perhaps there might still be a chance for recovery.

But, why should Qin Chu do such a thing?

Wozworth was an enemy that Qin Chu intended to get rid of.

The fact he hadn’t already thrown a few more spells at Wozworth was lenient enough; expecting Qin Chu to save him was a dream.

Moreover, compared to Wozworth, the grown man, there was an obedient little maid waiting at home for Qin Chu. He always felt that Angelica seemed to have something she wanted to tell him.

With that thought, Qin Chu quickened his steps.

By the time Qin Chu got home, Angelica had just reheated the lunch she’d prepared, as if she’d been waiting for him to return.

Upon seeing Qin Chu’s figure, her fair face immediately revealed a naive smile: "Master’s back."

As she spoke, she took Qin Chu’s coat to hang it up and then eagerly served him his meal.

As for Shaye, she left with the bottle of blood, heading upstairs.

At the very top of the palace was a laboratory specially prepared for Shaye, where Shaye intended to thoroughly research this thing.

For the Witch, this was the highest level of research material. Most importantly, Shaye even felt a mysteriously familiar sensation from these blood samples, but couldn’t recall why in that moment.

"Angelica, did you have something you wanted to tell me this morning?" Qin Chu took a bite of his food; Angelica’s cooking was still as impressive as ever.

The more he ate, the more his taste seemed to be spoiled by Angelica, to the point where even the food from the fancy restaurants outside no longer suited his palate.

Angelica patted her little head and stuck out her tongue, "Actually, I wanted to tell you last night, but you were too tired, so I let it be."

"It’s not something very important, it’s just..."

Angelica hadn’t finished speaking when they heard a commotion at the door. Following that, Silf and Catherine came storming back to the palace, clearly furious.

Anyone could see the annoyance written on their faces.

"Damn it, Rose Vesper thinks she is the Female Pope or something, daring to order us around so arrogantly, damn, damn..." Silf was always hot-tempered, muttering incessantly.

It was apparent they were very discontent with the condescending attitude that Rose Vesper had taken at the Holy Court.

That woman truly thought too highly of herself.

If it were not for her master’s instructions, Silf’s temper would probably have caused her to physically confront Rose Vesper by now.

Once again, Angelica was interrupted, her little face puffing up.

She looked almost like a little hamster, which Qin Chu found somewhat amusing and very cute.

However, Angelica was indeed a bit unlucky; she’d been unable to finish her sentence several times. He glanced at Silf and Catherine, about to inquire about what exactly had happened at the Holy Court, but before he could open his mouth, he felt a sudden chill in his limbs.

Something was wrong... something was not right...

Last night, Angelica had wanted to tell him something but stopped herself, seeing that he was too tired.

This morning... well, noon, she tried to tell him again but gave up because of Carol’s unexpected arrival.

Now she tried to speak but was interrupted by Silf and Rose Vesper?

Could it simply be a coincidence?

Having lived through two lifetimes already, Qin Chu no longer believed in purely coincidental occurrences. Once might be a coincidence, twice could be a coincidence, but three times? That was becoming questionable.

Just as Silf was about to speak, Qin Chu suddenly shouted in a stern voice, "Silf, hold your tongue for now."

Squeak.

The words Silf was about to say got stuck in her throat.

She hadn’t expected such a fierce reaction from Qin Chu and felt unjustly treated.

Despite being a Level 80 archer, at that moment, her nose felt sour, and her eyes reddened immediately.

At this time, however, Qin Chu had no time to care about that, his eyes intensely focused on Angelica, "Angelica, continue."

Angelica too was startled by Qin Chu’s demeanor, and after a brief pause, she finally started to speak slowly, "Last night, I suddenly felt..."

Crack!

Before she could finish, the screws of the magical chandelier overhead suddenly loosened, causing it to fall from the ceiling and shatter into pieces, with shards of glass flying everywhere.

Angelica’s voice came to an abrupt halt, choked in her throat.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a mysterious force was interfering, unwilling to let Angelica speak her mind.

Something was very wrong with Angelica’s situation.
