Damn it
Simonton Forest
A figure darted through the forest, her movements swift and decisive, killing any magical beasts she encountered.
She wore a cloak with a hood, and a strand of red hair peeked out from it in the moonlight.
“Strange, I remember it being here.” She lifted her hat to reveal her face, and her red eyes suddenly stared intently at a spot.
She crouched down to examine the wood shavings closely. They were oak, but not ordinary oak. The wood grain was thick and spiral-shaped, indicating it was old oak.
Judging from its original shape, it looks like a peach.
Why are there oak trees here?
Mira glanced at the pool of blood under a tree trunk not far away, and her intuition told her that something interesting was about to happen.
After weighing the pros and cons, she knelt on the ground, pressed her hands lightly against her chest with her fingers slightly bent, and lowered her head.
“Great God of Light, I am your most faithful follower—Mira Adri.”
"I beseech you to grant me divine power so that I may see the course of events clearly."
"Ancient gods, grant me the power to know everything that happened in Simonton Forest in a year. I am willing to pay any price for it, including my life."
After saying that, she pressed one hand to the ground, her mind blank, devoid of any images.
She waited quietly, various images flashing through her mind. In less than a minute, she had seen everything that had happened in Simonton.
"Pfft!" Before she even opened her eyes, blood spurted from her mouth, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Cough cough..." Blood kept flowing from her throat, something that had never happened before. In the past, when she used the divine power, she could only use it for a few months at most.
This was the first time she had vomited blood. She thought it was related to the blurry purple figure in the video, because the video would become blurry every time it showed her.
However, it wasn't a complete loss. She discovered something very interesting. She kept spitting blood and coughing so hard that she just lay down on the ground.
Hicks killed Tiff, but Tiff somehow "came back to life" and obtained the Heart of Hess.
It's not clear from the image whether it's the Heart of Hess or not, but she can still see the person fighting Tiff, and his elven ears.
Moreover, Tiff must know the person in purple, because she has seen Tiff wearing a cloak sneaking into the forest and entering an ancient castle many times. The scene behind the castle is unclear, just a blur, and all that can be seen is that she is wearing purple clothes.
But where in this forest are there castles? Either the castles are located deep in the forest, or only designated people can see them.
She thought it should be the second one.
Once she stopped vomiting blood, she shakily took a pill out of her pocket and swallowed it.
She hadn't eaten it in a long time, but luckily she always carried it with her. She never expected to be able to eat it while using the power of God.
Legend has it that the ancestors of the Augussia royal family were the original and most loyal followers of the God of Light. Therefore, when the God of Light passed away, He bestowed upon her ancestors a power. People thought this legend was too absurd, but in fact it is true.
Each generation selects one person to inherit this power, and she is that chosen one.
Therefore, the Augustan royal family firmly believes that the God of Light will one day be resurrected.
Of course, not everything the God of Light will agree to. In their generation, her power is to see everything that happened in a certain place before, on a large or small scale. The larger the scale, the greater the price to pay.
The prayer I just mentioned, which involved sacrificing one's life, is impossible. The God of Light is not the God of Darkness. At most, he can prevent her from using this power for a year or two.
But it's not possible to find out everything that happens in the palace of the Inolier Empire. If she wanted to know everything that happens in the palace, she would die on the spot, not even in a year, let alone a month.
Suddenly, I remembered Tiffany's expression when she came out of Simonton. She had wondered why she couldn't find the Heart of Hess. It turned out that she had taken it.
“Tiff, Tiff, Duke Stryker… ha.”
The pills relieved her pain, and she got up and returned to the Duke's mansion.
——————
"Duke, she's back." The attendant nervously reported Mira's situation to Tiff. He was one of the secret guards responsible for monitoring Mira. Not long ago, they lost track of Mira while tracking her, and they rushed to tell Tiff as soon as she returned.
Tiff hadn't expected them to be able to stop Mira. In the side story of the book "The Tower Master," there was a mention of the connection between the West Asian royal family and the God of Light, but the book didn't specify what kind of power the God of Light had bestowed upon the West Asian royal family, and she didn't know either.
It has to be said that the side stories in this book really helped her a lot. She wasn't afraid that Luya would know about the Heart of Hess, because when she died, Margaret's side stories hadn't been published yet.
She figured Mira wouldn't be satisfied after failing to find the Heart of Hess in Simonton, so this was the perfect time to make her move on Ferrand.
A fierce killing intent flashed in her eyes.
"Ferran... really deserves to die."

Royal Palace Conference Hall
Every November, if there is no snow, the royal family and dukes will conduct falconry in the forests of the chosen duke's fiefdom.
The choice of which duke's fiefdom forest to visit is decided by drawing lots.
Hicks leaned back in his chair, openly staring at Tiffany's spot.
In her past life, Tiffany had rigged the lottery, choosing Duke Ferrand's fiefdom forest. During a falconry in the forest, Tiffany framed Duke Ferrand, accusing him of hoarding the Black Magic Stone.
This time, however, he would not do it again. He replaced the tampered signature with his own, and this time he would make Tiffany reap what she sowed.
It wasn't time for the meeting to begin yet, and besides Hicks, only Duke Chris and Duke Belanovich were present.
Duke Chris – Tiffany's maternal grandfather.
Duke Belanovic – the eldest son was betrothed to Tiff.
"Tap tap." The sound of leather boots. Tiffany was here. Hicks turned around, and sure enough, it was her.
She wore a red cashmere cloak, her hair was tied up, and she loved wearing boots; in my previous life, she was wearing boots almost every time I saw her.
As if sensing his gaze, Tiffany glanced at him before walking to her seat and sitting down.
It seems the meeting is about to start; Tiffany always arrives right on time.
After everyone had arrived, the king came shortly afterward.
He sat down, looked around, and coughed a few times. "This year's falconry will not be decided by lottery. I have already decided to hold it in the forest on Duke Ferrand's fiefdom."
Upon hearing this, Hicks looked sharply at Tiffany, but Tiffany didn't look at him.
The king continued, "This was suggested by Duke Strych, who said that there was plenty of game in the forests of Ferrand's fief."
"In that case, let's settle on Ferrand's place."
“This year is different from previous years. The Crown Prince of Augusa will also be participating in this event. Ferrand, you’d better prepare well.” The King looked at Ferrand.
"yes."
As the meeting ended, Hicks stared intently at Tiffany, her heart pounding and a smirk playing on her lips.
It's different from the last life, finally different from the last life. She's finally starting to take action, finally realizing that something is wrong.
He chuckled as Tiffany stepped out the door, one step ahead of her.
Tiffany's eyes darkened as she watched Hicks walk out the door ahead of her.
He knew exactly what he had planned.
She had originally planned to tamper with the lottery, but her sixth sense led her to a second plan, so she directly suggested to the king that they go to the Duke of Ferrand's fiefdom, the forest.
The assassination in the Karu Forest, the python during the graduation exam, the fight at the hunting festival, the disinheritance, and the ripping out of her heart.
Where did this inexplicable hostility come from, one incident after another?
The guess in her heart was about to come out, and this incredible idea made her stop in her tracks, staring blankly at Hicks's back.
She quickly came to her senses, pinched her palms, and went out of the palace gates. Lisa was waiting by the carriage. When she saw Tiffany coming over, she quickly gave her the stove and helped her into the carriage.
Tiff was still somewhat dazed as she sat in the carriage. It wasn't until a little sweat appeared on her forehead that she realized how hot it was and took off her thick cloak.
An idea to test him had already taken shape in his mind, but it would be hard for Ferrand and he would have to bear another infamy.
