Dead silence, absolute dead silence.

At that moment, the entire courtyard fell silent.

The only sound that exists between heaven and earth is the sound of the cold winter wind constantly swirling up white fragments.

The moment Viktor raised his hand, everyone realized what was happening.

The spear that was deflected was one that Victor had magically thrown back at.

At that very moment, no one dared to speak.

Countless nobles could only stand there dumbfounded.

The last image they saw was of the second prince, transformed into a bull-headed demon, his eyes brimming with a wild ecstasy born of despair.

However, this ecstasy was fleeting.

As that cold voice rang out, everyone's gaze involuntarily focused on Viktor.

The enormous minotaur demon lay helplessly on the ground, the crimson light in its deep eye sockets completely dimmed.

It symbolizes that it can no longer make a sound.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Lia's mind had completely gone blank.

She stared blankly at the motionless minotaur, her lips twitching involuntarily.

"That...that second prince...no, no, that devil..."

"Is he...dead?"

What exactly happened just now?

The head of the Raiser family can fly?

No, no, that's not the issue.

Viktor killed the Second Prince!?

Yes, yes! That's it!

At that moment, Leah took a deep breath and finally collapsed helplessly into Gwen's arms beside her.

It's over, it's all over now.

The witcher with the wide hood also raised his head slightly, his eyes, hidden in the shadows, also falling on the Second Prince's corpse.

At this moment, there was no sound from anyone.

A heavy silence enveloped everyone present.

At the same time, a voice talking to itself echoed from the sky.

"Hmm? I see."

At this moment, Coco was lying comfortably on the cloud.

She rested her face on her hands and swung her legs back and forth.

As Kokot's gaze fell upon Ribot, a look of sudden realization flashed in his clear eyes.

Simply put, she saw the layer of defensive golden light that had just appeared on the Second Prince.

No wonder Victor had her issue a warning to the Mage Council.

At first, she thought Victor wanted her to invite the Mage Council to the Empire to deal with the demons.

Now it seems we've caught an even bigger fish.

Looking at Ribooto, who was radiating golden light beside him, Kokoto rested his chin on his hand, his brows furrowed, and fell into deep thought.

"So, how can we keep it?"

However, before she could even begin to think about it, a new situation arose.

A gurgling sound slowly rose from the broken courtyard.

The moment the sound rang out, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

That's the second prince.

At that moment, his bull-headed body seemed to transform into boiling liquid, with black foam rising from its surface.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the demons attached to the Second Prince's body began to slowly peel away from him.

The loose black smoke condensed into a ball, sliding down the Second Prince's clothes like melting flesh and blood.

A strong fishy smell instantly filled the entire courtyard.

Until the minotaur's flesh and blood completely detached, revealing Oweiser's body.

He seemed to have replaced the minotaur demon from before, lying motionless on the ground.

Although his eyes were open, they were vacant and lifeless.

On his limbs, lips, and forehead, those incredibly gruesome holes in flesh and blood remained.

A moment of silence swept through the crowd once again.

But this time, the eldest prince's voice suddenly rang out from the silence:

"O...Oweise!"

Albany almost instinctively lunged at Oweiser.

He knelt on the ground, shaking the unresponsive body repeatedly.

However, just as if he had stopped breathing, Owesser did not react at all.

The nobles who witnessed this scene felt as if a thunderbolt had struck their heads, their minds reeling.

Dead...dead?

The Second Prince is dead!?

Those nobles who had originally supported the second prince's succession to the throne were stunned by what they saw.

Almost instantly, the harsh reality ruthlessly swallowed them up, causing them to collapse to the side, unable to accept it.

Fortunately, there were people nearby who supported their bodies, preventing their heads from hitting the ground.

"Baron Hunter, are you alright?"

The nobleman, who had almost fallen, was helped up by the person next to him. He smiled kindly at the person and took a deep breath.

But they all knew, and they all tacitly fell silent.

The faction of the Second Prince has come to a complete end.

Seeing this friendly atmosphere of 'brotherly affection', Claudia's eyes showed no mercy.

She slowly removed the silver mask from her face, revealing her true face.

One half of his face looked normal, while the other half was covered with blood-red lines.

Finally, she looked coldly at the unconscious Second Prince and calmly gave the order.

"Take the Second Prince away."

The witchers, having received their orders, acted swiftly, ignoring everyone else present.

And in front of the eldest prince, they forcibly dragged the second prince's body away from the courtyard.

Albany could only watch helplessly as the second prince walked away into the distance.
