Book 4: Chapter 193: Witness
Lesiah was rendered speechless by the so-called “eyewitness account”. She connected the dots and easily came to one conclusion... She was definitely responsible for everything that had happened.
After all, she was eager to save Lilith at the time and forgot to let Diana and the rest provide a status update to the others. Not to mention those useless traps she had laid down to hinder the black devils...
All these definitely contributed to the part that stated:
Diana and her party bravely marched on to rescue the princess. Unfortunately, no one expected that Golden Demon Htilil was not only powerful, but also shamelessly sinister. She stooped so low as to lay traps on the road to capture her unsuspecting victims. Golden Htilil later arrived on the scene and decapitated everyone.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
The remains of those who had died a heroic death have been buried. May their spirits rest in peace...

Sacrifice...
Buried ......
Rest in peace...
Lesiah looked up at the ceiling, as a myriad of emotions washed over her.
Ahh, so that was what happened when Diana and the rest turned around and came back, just in time to see Titan 12138 and hauled her unconscious self away. They were actually trying to search for the main party but found their own graves instead. Confused by their discovery, they decided to turn back to discuss the situation with us.
Were they not moving a bit too fast? Lesiah did not think she had taken a long time to rescue Lilith with Diana and the rest. Yet, these people have already confirmed that they were dead, organized their funeral and burial, and even completed a report to upper management.
Lesiah’s brain was a mess like now. She sighed in exasperation. “If I told you everything was a misunderstanding, would you believe me, Professor Marlin?”
The professor pushed his black-rimmed glasses up. His stern eyes revealed a glint of wisdom. “Do you think I will believe it, your royal highness?”
Lesiah could not respond to that.
She knew that the professor was an extremely confident man. The more confidence he had, the more unlikely he would doubt himself.
And more importantly, the professor had greatly impressed all the leaders with his brilliant theories during the square table conference at St. Caroline Academy.
Although what he said turned out to be nothing but b̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲ now, it did not change the fact that he had won the trust of those old guys whose brains were full of water.
In short, people would trust his words. Not only that, those people were not ordinary.
As a result, this became a huge problem for Lesiah’s side because they had already been identified as “impostors” by Professor Marlin, a supposedly wise man whose words would be held in high regard.
Seeing that familiar figure, hope surged in Lesiah’s heart once again.
“Quick, Coleman. Tell this b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ that I am no impostor!”
“Your highness?”
Coleman looked at her, a glimmer of light appeared in his rheumy eyes. However, Lesiah immediately froze.
This is... Coleman?
Her personal bodyguard who followed her into that dream world?
Since the room was dim, Lesiah could not get a good look at him. Coleman looked like he had aged so quickly probably because he had been blaming himself for putting the princess in danger.
However, when he faced Lesiah, the princess realized that...
Coleman was not only old...
He looked horrible, like he was a dying old man.
It would not be crazy to say that he looked like he had just crawled out of his coffin.
Professor Marlin patted Coleman’s hunched shoulder and said to Lesiah, “See, Sir Coleman became this way from being tortured by Golden Demon Htilil. This should be enough to make you give up, impostor!”
Lesiah was shaken to her very core...
No...
It wasn’t like that...
She knew better than everyone that Coleman definitely did not become like this because he was tortured by Golden Demon Htilil, because...
“She...”
Coleman spoke up. He sounded stiff, almost as if he was a puppet...
A slight hesitation flashed across Coleman’s eyes...but he continued speaking.
“She is not the princess...”
