Schroeder was surprised for a moment. He immediately figured out the knots and shouted: "Someone come!" The door to the hall opened and a fully clothed warrior walked in. Schroeder instructed, "Immediately send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the wandering warrior who passed on James and Roland's battle-qi to him. Go quickly!" The warrior obeyed. Kathleen looked at the warrior, shook her head and said, "It seems that I was too busy training these past few years and did not notice the people around my father. Father, you don't have anyone who has the ability to plan the entire situation for you. How could you win against Second Uncle like this? "

Schroeder smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to recruit a few more talents? That way, I can save some effort." However, talents were hard to come by. There were only a few of the best younger generation in the empire, and they had all been won over by political enemies. By the way, daughter, you can find some capable men for your father from the Trust Alliance! "If not, when I fought with your second uncle and lost every time, I would be angered to death!" Kathleen shook her head, "Someone who can control the whole situation, someone who has the ability to think is a person who can only be met by luck and not sought. As for the other loyal subordinates, they were trained since a young age. Even though they expended a lot of energy, their loyalty was reliable. It's too late for Father to look for him now. "

Schroeder sighed with some disappointment and took a sip of his wine. His demeanor was that of someone from the royal family, filled with elegance and nobility. After a while, Schroeder said, "Oh right, tomorrow is the match between you and the Honorable Garner of the Holy See. Are you confident?" Kathleen said, "I've also carefully observed the strength of that Sir Ghana. He is indeed very strong, almost not inferior to Nicholas. I have no confidence that I can beat him in tomorrow's match! " Schroeder's eyes lit up, "Since I don't have any confidence, then I might as well lose to him!"

As soon as she said this, Catherine's expression changed: "Father, what do you mean by this!" Schroeder smiled in embarrassment and said, "I mean, what's the point of fighting back and forth? Why don't you give up on your own accord and meet him again in the future? Otherwise, you'll be able to beat Dunstan half to death like what we did today and face the revenge of the underworld clans later on." "Father, what do you think of me? [The reason why I trained so hard is to gain the recognition of everyone and become the strongest warrior on the Grace Mainland. You actually want me to admit defeat in front of so many people? No! "Impossible!"

Schroeder was also a bit angry and shouted, "Look at yourself! Do you even have the demeanor of an Imperial Grand Princess?! Do you think that practicing magic will make you lose your education? How can you speak to me like that! " Kathleen slowly sat down, her momentum weakened, but her tone remained as firm as ever. "No matter what, it's impossible for me to admit defeat!"

Schroeder also knew that he couldn't be strong. He changed his smile, "Kathleen, you aren't young anymore. Most commoners' daughters, at your age, are already very old. In the past, you were completely focused on cultivating magic, so I can't bear to talk about you. Besides, there really isn't anyone on this continent who can match up to you. But now, it was different. With so many promising and promising youths standing out from the masses. "You should consider your marriage. In my opinion, that Your Highness Ghana is quite good …"

Kathleen's expression changed, and she stood up abruptly. Her face turned extremely pale, and she said in a slow and emotionless tone, "I had already known since the day Ghana arrived in the imperial city that you would personally meet him. I also know that a daughter born into the royal family like me will sooner or later become a victim of politics and earn benefits for the country and the family. On one hand, I cultivate day and night, hoping to break through to the Saint level as soon as possible and take charge of my own destiny. In order to study, I don't mind leaving this place and wander around by myself. "

"On the other hand, I also hope that my father, my good father, will be able to resist the temptation of the throne. But, father, my good father, you finally said that today. Are you finally unable to resist the temptation of power, determined to sell your daughter in exchange for political benefits! Did Ghana assure you of the full support of the Holy See when I married him? Father, you disappoint me! It's too stupid! "

A look of shame flashed in Schroeder's eyes, but it was mostly an indescribable desire. With regards to the pursuit of power, he used a pleading tone and said, "Kathleen, father has no other choice. Look, your Second Uncle is pressing on me step by step, threatening me more and more. The people supporting me in the empire are also becoming fewer and fewer. In the long run, I will definitely not be able to keep my position as the crown prince. As long as I fall on top of the stage, your second uncle, you, and your younger brother, we won't be able to escape him.

He pulled over Raúl and pointed at him, "Your brother is still so young, and in the future, he is destined to rule this empire. Do you really have the heart to die in the hands of others? Don't forget how your mother entrusted you before she died! He is the grandson of the Pope, and is the future Pope. If you become his wife, you will become the most powerful woman in the entire continent! As long as you are willing, your younger brother will be able to control this empire with ease! As for me, I can fulfill my long-cherished wish to become the Empire's ruler. Can't you be tempted by us father and son combined? "

"Quick!" Raul! Please, your sister! As long as she nods her head, father will be able to become emperor, and in the future you will be able to be emperor too! " Raul Jr. gripped his hands tightly, his lips tightly shut, but he didn't open his mouth. After being fiercely shaken by her father, she suddenly shouted, "I will not trade my sister's happiness for my royal throne! "In the future, I want to be like that Werther and trample all the enemies under my feet with my own strength!" Schroeder was stunned for a moment, and then scolded, "You ungrateful fool! "Father is thinking for you, otherwise …" Kathleen suddenly screamed, "Enough!" He covered his face and ran out. The moment she turned around, tears of sadness flowed down from the eyes of the proud daughter of heaven, the famed prideful princess. It was unknown whether it was because of his father's heartlessness or his own fate.

Werther had distanced himself from Sophia and Vivian, so he had time to ponder over what he had gained today. When he entered the room, he saw Alan sitting at the table with his small mouth puffed out. "What's the matter, Alan? Who bullied you?" Alan tossed his head and ignored him. Werther's face turned ashen, and he was in no mood to pay attention to her. He directly entered his little secret chamber and began comprehending the things he had gained. Seeing Werther ignore her, Alan felt even more wronged. Large tears rolled down his face as he choked with sobs, "Young Master, you're bullying me!" She ran away like a wisp of smoke.

The next day, the Grand Princess Catherine went against the Radiant Church's Ghana in order. The identities of these two people were even more prestigious than yesterday's Werther and Dunstan, and they also had more people following them. The people who came to watch the match nearly crushed the entire arena. The crowd was in an uproar. Early in the morning, Werther came to a grandstand reserved for nobles, ready to observe the battle between the two carefully. After a night of intense research, he had basically digested the gains from his battle with Dunstan. The Lightning Qi was indeed worthy of being known as the One with Life and Death. It was the most mysterious power in the world. After being baptized by the Lightning Calamity, both the body and the soul had greatly improved.

His body was already at the peak of the fleshly body realm, only missing the acupuncture points on his entire body. However, after the baptism of thunder energy, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the acupuncture points that were initially half-opened, half-closed, had actually all opened by themselves. Each of them looked like a black hole, and no matter how much true energy was used, they could not be filled. The only thing left to do was to use countless amounts of true energy to fill up these black holes, and wait until all 720 places were filled up, then it would have an incredible effect.

Because he had borrowed the pure yang energy of the thunder to refine his soul, although there was only a small part of it, it still allowed his soul to take a big step towards becoming the God of Pure Yang. Most importantly, he had comprehended the meaning of the birth and death of thunder, and his dao heart had also been tempered.

The greatest change was on the Tree of Life. After absorbing most of the thunder essence, the seedling that was originally nourishing it with the true energy of primal chaos had actually developed once again, the entire trunk of the tree seemed more vigorous and simple, the branches also looked more naked. As it plunged into the endless void of the meridian point, the true energy it spewed out became even purer, containing an endless amount of life essence. Actually, that's true. The lightning brought life to the trees, but it was just that Werther didn't notice it in the past. This time, it was a fluke. Werther had no doubt that once he summoned the divine tree out of his body, it would immediately form a huge forest. He believed that the Tree of Life was not far from fully maturing.

On the stage, Kathleen and Garner both appeared. Garner still had a graceful demeanor and a aristocratic smile on his face. Kathleen was extremely cold, and her face was covered with ice. Ghana performed a standard, impeccable, noble salute and smiled, "Beautiful Grand Princess Kathleen, it is an honor to meet you." However, Kathleen did not appreciate his kindness and said coldly, "Your Highness, I do not wish to see you." Genarr was stunned, then forced a smile and said, "Your Highness is being honest with me!"
