However, Xu Xianxian addressed such a big shot in a very casual tone, as if she didn't take it seriously at all.

"Lady Natalie...do you have something to say to Lord Falkres?"

The green-skinned fat man was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.

"Falkles should know who the two Ninth Ring assassins who assassinated me last night were, right?" Xu Xianxian suddenly stopped at the corner of the corridor. "Even if he's an earl, he's only a Thirteenth Ring Mage. Since he's not a Legendary Creature, how dare he go against Her Highness the Seventh Princess?"

Thirteenth-ring mages were extremely rare in the empire, considered top-tier powers. However, if they were involved in the royal family's struggles, they wouldn't be enough. She hadn't been able to interrogate the specific culprit last night, but that didn't stop her from following the clues.

The group of people manipulating behind the scenes is actually very small. Apart from Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, there are only six adult fairies from the royal family. In other words, all six of these royal family members are suspects.

"Lady Natalie, this... this... what are you talking about? You are the knight of Her Highness the Seventh Princess. Who would dare to assassinate you...?"

The green-skinned fat man had a puzzled expression on his face and was a little shocked, as if he had heard of such a thing for the first time.

"The assassins of the Shadow Priests are the best killers on this continent. Two Shadow Assassins working together would be hard to defeat even a ten-ringed goblin mage if unprepared." Xu Xianxian raised her head, staring at the fat green-skinned man with scarlet eyes for a moment before whispering, "Isn't your boss curious about how I...tortured them?"

She ignored the green-skinned fat man's words and stroked the necklace around her neck. The golden armor was instantly fully armed.

"Besides, you are just a troll half-breed, a lowly and inferior scum. What qualifications do you have to speak before a high-ranking goblin like me?"

In this fairy empire where blood is respected, pure-blooded high-level fairies have enough reasons to despise half-blood creatures.

According to Xu Xianxian's magical perception, this half-blood troll only has nine rings, and is the weakest type. It is not on the same level as the assassin last night. If she uses the giant sword of blood, she can chop it into pieces within two seconds.

"Or... do you want to know how those two assassins died?"

Even in public, Xu Xianxian still had the courage to take action.

As for why...

Standing behind her is the most noble Seventh Princess in the empire. No matter what she does, as long as it is not to assassinate other royal family members, the princess will cover for her.
