The town mayor looked at the man sitting opposite him with a headache.

The man was handsome, and he sat there drinking tea with his legs crossed, exuding an air of nobility.

That makes sense, though; as the third prince of the Kingdom of Sol, it's only natural for him to possess such an air. This prince was none other than the man Ning Hongze and Amman had thoroughly humiliated—Shiri Brighton.

"Your Highness, you suddenly asked me to find someone, but I can't find them in a short time."

"Your town is so small, how come you can't find anyone every time I ask you to?" Xi Rui said, somewhat annoyed. He had been badly beaten up before and was asked to find the culprit, but the town mayor couldn't. Now, news came from the capital asking him to help find the former saintess Jessica, and the town mayor hadn't even bothered to look for her, simply saying he couldn't find her.

"If you're so useless, what's the point of having you as the town mayor?"

Sheri squinted.

"Prince?" The mayor's heart skipped a beat. "Prince, don't worry, don't worry. Although we can't find him right away, it doesn't mean we can't find him forever. I'll send people to look for him right away, and I'll also ask my wife to help. She's the only female doctor in town, and she has a lot of connections. She must have some information."

"Then I'll wait for your news."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Shiri left immediately.

Once Jessica is found, there's no need to keep the mayor.

How can someone like that be suitable to be the head of a town?

Sheri was sent here by the eldest prince.

When he was in the capital, he smashed the statue of the Holy Maiden in the Temple of the Holy Maiden. In order to protect him, the First Prince sent him to this remote town, which was akin to exile.

It was only because the eldest prince had provided him with a great deal of manpower and money that he was able to live a comfortable and carefree life here. Of course, during this time, the eldest prince also sent him a lot of gold and silver jewelry to spend.

He and the eldest prince were siblings from the same mother and had a close relationship. To put it bluntly, he could only survive if the eldest prince ascended the throne; no prince would spare him once he became emperor.

Therefore, he and the eldest prince share both glory and honor.

Now, the Crown Prince is searching for the former saintess Jessica, and he must help him find her.

After several investigations, the Crown Prince's men confirmed that Jessica was last seen in this vicinity.

I just don't know if she's still in this small town after all this time.

"Report."

A man dressed as a knight stepped forward and knelt before She-Ra. Beside him were two other men who were tied up.

Both men looked rather disheveled, their knightly uniforms torn.

"Your Highness, I have found two of Saintess Jessica's knights."

When Jessica left, she took several knights with her. These knights were all arranged for her by Jessica's family.

Therefore, those in power knew exactly where Jessica was at the time.

However, when they encountered monsters, these people actually ran away on their own, leaving Jessica behind.

Because they were afraid of being exposed, these people dared not contact the people in the capital anymore, and as a result, the people in the capital completely lost track of Jessica's whereabouts.

"You people dare to call yourselves knights?" You've abandoned the very people you were supposed to protect. "You are a disgrace to knights."

“We don’t want this either,” the kneeling knight suddenly spoke. “If there were a way, we wouldn’t want to abandon her.” But if they didn’t abandon her, they would all likely die.

"Didn't you swear an oath on the day you became knights to uphold justice? How come you can defend against weak opponents but run away when faced with strong ones?"

These words were harsh, and even insulting to them. But they had no rebuttal, after all, they had indeed deserted their posts.

However, She-Ra wouldn't listen to their explanations; he only captured them to find out Jessica's whereabouts.

"Tell me, where is Jessica?"

"We're not quite sure about that." But they separated outside the town, running around aimlessly as they escaped. By the time they were mentally prepared and returned, all that was left was a pool of blood.

There was neither the monster's corpse nor Jessica's corpse, leading them to suspect that Jessica had been eaten by the monster.

"have eaten?"

This is bad.

If Jessica really dies, her brother will be in big trouble.

Saintess Lia is now clearly on the side of the Second Prince.

They have obtained evidence that Leah persecuted Jessica. As long as they can find Jessica, they can remove Leah from her position as a saint and make Jessica the saint again.

In this way, the Holy Maiden would be supporting their side.

In the Kingdom of Sol, the Saintess's influence was immense.

But now, Jessica is dead?

Sheri felt a bit overwhelmed.

What should we do now?

Should we ask his elder brother to find a new holy maiden?

There are quite a few candidates for sainthood in the Temple of Saintess; perhaps they can find another one.

Sigh, it's all his fault.

Sheri wandered aimlessly through the streets.

Because he offended the Holy Maiden Temple, he himself was disliked by the temple. This also caused his elder brother, who spoke up for him, to be disliked by the Holy Maidens as well.

Otherwise, why bother looking for a former saintess who was disliked by the Saintess Temple?

Just as Shire was getting frustrated, a figure suddenly crashed into him.

He grunted and instinctively reached out to catch it.

Fiery red eyes, fiery red hair—it was the woman who made him lose face.

"Quick, she's there! Let's go and bring her back!"

"Young Master Pro said that whoever can get this woman will receive five hundred gold coins."

Five hundred gold coins are enough for a family to eat and drink well for several years.

If one of them can't beat this woman, then several of them should attack together. If they split the five hundred gold coins, they can still get a considerable share.

Listening to these people's words, Amman felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately tried to run away, but his waist tightened.

"Oh, thank you so much for earlier." She thanked her hurriedly and tried to pull her hand away from Sheri's, but Sheri wouldn't let go.

Amman looked up in confusion.

"Don't you recognize me?" He had remembered her for two years.

"Have we met before?" Aman felt like crying. Could it be another of her enemies?

Normally, she wouldn't be afraid, but today is different. Some bastard drugged her, and now she feels weak all over and has no strength at all.

If I had known, I should have brought the antidote that my brother and Jessica made together.

It wouldn't have come to this.

"Um, can we put our grudges aside for now?"

Amman blushed and her eyes were full of pleading. Her brother said that girls don't need to be too tough; they should be flexible and adaptable.

"If I save you, how do you plan to repay me?"
