It's a mess. Everything is a mess. Yuna stood in the corridor of the senior dormitory, looking through the window at the rioting students below, her heart filled with confusion and anger.
She couldn't understand why the riots started today. She had just made the relevant plan tonight and was scheduled to implement it two days later. How come it happened today? This was completely out of her control.
Yuna's plan is to create a large-scale conflict between ordinary students and noble students, forcing the Arcane Academy to make her the student council president as soon as possible in order to resolve the issue of fair sports, while also putting pressure on the academy to reach a cooperation with the Royal Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.
She had arranged everything to ensure that it would go smoothly in two days, but now it all happened suddenly when she was not prepared.
Anger and anxiety intertwined, Yuna was upset and immediately ordered Dennis and Alicia to follow her to investigate what had happened and why the riot broke out prematurely.
However, just as she was about to act, Dennis suddenly spoke with a hint of sneer in his voice, "Yuna, you are so pathetic. You think you are in control of everything, but in fact, even you are just a pawn of that person."
"What?" Yuna was startled and was about to turn around to ask when she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Dennis punched her in the stomach with such force that she lost her balance and was sent flying.
Her body slammed against the wall of the corridor and the intense pain made her fall to her knees, blood gushing out of her throat. Yuna didn't understand why Dennis attacked her and even betrayed her. She was filled with shock and anger.
"Why are you doing this?" She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and shouted to Alicia in a trembling voice. She needed Alicia's help. However, the maid whom she had always trusted the most drew her sword and coldly placed it on Yuna's neck.
"It's all over, Your Highness Yuna." Alicia's voice was as cold as ice, as if announcing an irreversible betrayal.
Countless questions and fears suddenly surged in Yuna's heart. She couldn't understand why she was really being used to such a situation? Dennis and Alicia's betrayal was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into her heart. She wanted to retort, wanted to question, but the pain in her throat prevented her from making any sound.
"What are you doing?" Yuna squeezed out these words with difficulty, with despair flashing in her eyes. Her mind kept recalling the past. Could it be that all this was part of some bigger conspiracy? Are her plans and efforts just other people's playthings?
Dennis looked at her coldly, as if he was looking at an ignorant ant. "What do you think you can change? Everything has been predetermined. You are just a chess player who has been arranged. The real game is far beyond your imagination."
"Why! Why did you betray me! Aren't we companions?" Yuna felt a heart-wrenching pain in her heart. She always thought that Daniel and Alicia were the same kind of people as her.
Like her, Yuna is someone who puts aside her beliefs and values in the face of money. Yuna only shows her true self in front of the two of them.
Alicia looked at Yuna who was kneeling in front of her. "We have never been your companions. Everything is just a disguise for me to complete my plan. Your Highness Yuna, you lose. You have been alone from the beginning to now. Just sink in loneliness."
"Don't hurt my dear sister. She still has one last value, and that is to go to the Orc Empire for marriage. She is the best 'commodity' I have carefully prepared." A frivolous voice came from the shadow of the corridor, like a sharp knife cutting Yuna's heart.
When Alicia and Dennis heard the voice, they immediately knelt on one knee, looking respectful and fearful.
Yuna's heart tightened, she raised her head, her eyes penetrated the shadows, and saw a familiar figure slowly walking out. Cotola Clement, Prince Arno's second son and her brother. At this moment, he had a contemptuous smile on his face, as if everything was under control.
"It's you!" Yuna looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, and countless memories flashed through her mind. Her second brother Kotora was once the head of the Royal Chamber of Commerce and a rising star in the hearts of countless people in the Star Empire. His extraordinary business acumen impressed everyone, but all this was before Yuna returned to the family.
Ever since Yuna returned to the family, she has been like a sponge, working hard to learn all the business knowledge. With the support of her father and second brother, she began to take over the affairs of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. However, as time went on, Yuna gradually found that she seemed to be imitating every decision made by Kotora, gradually embarking on his former path.
When she finally absorbed all of her second brother's skills, Yuna was secretly delighted and decided to lead Kotora into the vortex of gambling. She devised an elaborate scheme to make him addicted, and ultimately kicked him out of the Royal Chamber of Commerce without hesitation.
Kotora's downfall began from then on, and he became a waste in the eyes of everyone, while Yuna gradually emerged under the halo of her family.
However, now, facing the appearance of Kotora, she felt a trace of fear in her heart. She realized with disbelief that everything about her had always been controlled by her second brother.
Has she always lived in his shadow? impossible! This is impossible! Yuna didn't want to believe it, but the facts seemed to reveal the truth ruthlessly before her eyes.
Everything, including her entry into the Royal Chamber of Commerce, her control of the Chamber of Commerce's power, her kicking out of Kotora, and even the incident against the Arcane Academy, were all planned by Kotora long ago.
Cotola Clement had long wanted to take action against the Arcane Academy, and had been planning for this for many years. Even the Alves family was brought down by his design. Yuna was just a recipient of his work. He was also a student of the Arcane Academy, and had been planning for three years at the academy. In order to give his sister a stage to "perform", he deliberately took a leave of absence. Today, Yuna can design everything so smoothly, in fact, it is all because of him. Yuna is just the last piece of the puzzle that he carefully arranged.
"You're such a fool, Yuna." Kotora approached slowly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes. "You think you can be independent? You are just a tool, my tool. Everything you do is a script I have already set, and you are just the protagonist of this script."
Yuna's heart was filled with despair and anger. She wanted to refute, but found that her voice was suppressed deep in her throat. She never thought that her success was built on other people's plans, even her brother's conspiracy. Every move and every decision of Kotora seemed to be controlled by her behind the scenes.
