Chapter 181: The Hostility of the Grand Princess

Chapter 181: The Hostility of the Grand Princess

For some reason, Captain Elwin's ghost lingered in the mortal realm, though he remained in a deep slumber.

The previous incident involving the vampire pseudo-flower spirits inadvertently awakened him.

When Hua Mi went to deliver honey to the unicorn, he took a quick look at the Ashen Graveyard.

Confirming that the Captain's ghost was still there.

As the books stated, once a ghost lingered in the mortal realm, they usually couldn't return to the spirit world.

Hua Mi highlighted the key points about the Captain's ghost to Karen.

Her eyes lit up, and she clapped, "Snap!" "Problem solved! With the Captain of the Ashen Knights taking charge of training, there's nothing to worry about, right? You should've told me sooner that the ghost of that legendary dragon slayer knight was still here!"

"You didn't ask," Hua Mi reminded.

"The Captain's ghost can only stay in the Ashen Graveyard, unable to move freely. We might need to figure something out if we want it to come to Modu," he explained.

Karen, however, seemed unconcerned, saying, "That's fine. For training, we can have the knights go to the Ashen Graveyard. After all, there's a teleportation gate built by the centaurs, so it's convenient."

That's not a bad idea.

Ideally, a unit should have one person serving as both the instructor and the captain.

But Elwin's ghost obviously couldn't fulfill the role of Captain anymore.

A pity.

"In this case, the plan to establish the Holy Light Knights is even more complete. It should be easy to convince the king... if Tisyara doesn't oppose it," Karen murmured to herself.

But her voice was loud enough for Hua Mi to hear.

Tisyara, if Hua Mi remembered correctly, seemed to be the Grand Princess.

Hua Mi was, of course, unaware of the intricacies within the royal family.

However, from Karen's tone, it seemed likely that the Grand Princess Tisyara might oppose this matter, and her opinion could be crucial.

"The king is about to decide on the heir," Karen shrugged helplessly, "I think he'll choose Tisyara. And she's never inclined to consider my suggestionswhether in personal life or politics."

The current king was still strong, even capable of wielding a sword in battle, so normally, choosing an heir was premature.

But in these special times, with war looming, selecting an heir early had some justification.

According to Turlun Kingdom's tradition, the heir didn't just wait to ascend; they also gained some governance power, assisting the king in matters of state.

It was akin to having two kings, a primary and a secondary.

By the way, were those three princes just idling around?

To let their little sister be underestimated like this without stepping up.

Karen suddenly asked him with enthusiasm, "By the way, do you know how the heir is chosen?"

With a 'testing you' expression on her face.

How the heir was chosen... under this type of government, how else could they decide?

That night, he stayed in a guest room within the palace.

It was a considerable honor, usually reserved for high-ranking nobles.

Though the room was luxurious and comfortable, the change of setting made it difficult for Hua Mi to sleep.

Even using the Moon Slumber Honey didn't induce sleep, so he decided to read.

After the day's sightseeing, it was fitting to delve into the history of Modu.

Lost in reading, he lost track of time.

Suddenly, Hua Mi felt an inexplicable chill behind him.

He abruptly turned around.

In a shadowy corner of the room, something was moving.

"?!"

Hua Mi immediately stood up, summoning a swarm of bees around himself.

Simultaneously, a figure emerged from the shadows.

The person wasn't tall, dressed in all black with a cloth covering their face, wearing a hood that revealed only elongated eyes.

They didn't step closer but remained a few meters away.

"I represent the Grand Princess," they said devoid of any emotion, then tossed a triangular metal piece to the ground, emitting pale blue runes.

The triangular metal dispersed into a shimmering screen.

Within the screen, a semi-transparent figure appeared.

It was a tall woman, seemingly wearing only silk nightwear, sitting with legs crossed on a high-backed chair, supporting her head with one hand, looking lazy but with sharp eyes.

"Is that Tisyara?"

Completely different from Karen, she was almost the opposite.

More cunning than Karen, who still had some innocence, this Grand Princess seemed like a schemer who'd resort to anything to achieve her goals.
