"No, don't come any closer!" Count Goethe cried out in fear at the sight of the clown.
However, the clown actually stopped.
Count Goethe remembered something.
His own father's death had been very strange.
There were clearly traces of being cut on the back of the corpse, but it was ultimately ruled a natural death.
But he had never dared to seek the truth, because he had no power.
Blindly searching for the truth without power would only land him in trouble.
He would rather play the fool than be a smart person feared by others.
At this moment, he recalled his father's death.
"Are you sent by the organization? Why do you want to get rid of me? What did I do wrong! I worked so hard for the organization! I handled all the dirty and tiring work! Why are you doing this to me!"
The clown tilted his head, indicating confusion.
The playing card in his hand flew out directly.
It accurately pierced Count Goethe's glabella.
Count Goethe looked at the playing card in his glabella.
He had never imagined that a playing card could also be a weapon.
"I'm actually... dying this way."
Count Goethe died with unwillingness...
That night, Christina couldn't sleep.
She had a big argument with her father about Sid.
Her Duke father did not want her to provoke the Thirteen Night Swords.
She only knew about it verbally, but had been looking for evidence to get Elisa punished.
After her father found out about this, the two argued again.
"Is it really that hard for those who do evil to be punished?" Christina murmured to herself.
She got up and looked at Sid, who was sleeping peacefully.
Then she looked at Sino, who was sleeping in a completely unrestrained manner.
"These two truly have big hearts!" Christina exclaimed.
At this moment, a figure appeared at Christina's window.
The newcomer was Princess Alexia.
Even though there were two Magic Swordsmen guards below the window who had entered the main competition of the Martial Heart Festival, Alexia entered through the window without attracting their attention at all.
"Princess Alexia, why are you here!" Christina whispered.
"Count Goethe is dead!"
Christina looked at the two sleeping people.
"It's not convenient to talk here, please follow me!"
There were two Magic Swordsmen below the window.
Christina was afraid they might hear something and then tell her father.
The two arrived at Christina's room.
There were no guards nearby, and the maids were all asleep.
After closing the door, Christina invited Alexia to sit on the sofa.
"I originally planned to kill Count Goethe tonight, but I encountered another person, who also seemed to be here to kill Count Goethe. It was a guy dressed as a clown, and I was no match for him."
Alexia briefly explained what happened that night.
"Princess Alexia, you actually did something so dangerous. As a Princess of a country, isn't it inappropriate to do so?"
"If power cannot allow me to judge evil, then I can only rely on my martial prowess!"
Christina thought about it and felt that Alexia was right.
"You are right, my thinking was too shallow!"
"After Count Goethe's death, your House Hope might be considered the murderer. You need to be careful. If you feel unsafe, you can come to me for refuge! I can protect you."
"Thank you, Princess Alexia! You have done so much for me, I don't know how to repay you."
"I am not doing this just for you. Your diligent efforts to collect evidence to prove that Elisa is a criminal remind me of my past self! I also tried hard to prove myself like you, but the outcome was not so good..."
Alexia recalled her falling out with her sister, Alice.
Now Alexia found it very difficult to find Alice.
Alice had been hiding from Alexia.
Fearing that she would be caught by Alexia to be a bed partner...
Alexia no longer thought about those things.
She had to uphold her ideals.
If no one upheld justice, then her sword would uphold justice.
"Princess Alexia, you also need to be careful about your own safety! The Thirteen Night Swords have been entrenched in the Royal Capital for many years, and their strength must not be weak."
"Don't worry, I am very strong. Oh, I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first!"
"Take care!"
Alexia moved quickly through the Royal Capital at night.
She finally arrived at Sino's room.
Taking advantage of the night, she slipped into the covers.
Then she was kicked out by a long, fair leg.
The one who kicked Alexia was undoubtedly Milia.
"There's no room for you here, get out!" Milia whispered, poking her head out from under the covers.
"How can there be no room for me on a five-meter-wide, three-meter-long bed!" Alexia grumbled softly.
"If you wake up the master, I'll kill you! Get out now."
To avoid disturbing Sino, Alexia could only leave dejectedly.
It definitely wasn't because she couldn't beat Milia.
Walking on the deserted streets of the Royal Capital.
Alexia was thinking.
Even if she punished evil and promoted good like this, she would definitely be overwhelmed in the long run.
"It seems I need some help. Since Royal Sister can establish a Knights Order, if I talk to Father, I can surely establish a Knights Order too!"
"If I think even more ambitiously, why can't I contend for the throne?"
"The ultimate goal has been set, so let's start with the first step: building a force. I'll start by recruiting subordinates from within the Magic Swordsman Academy!"
Alexia quietly returned to her academy dormitory and immediately fell asleep.
Good sleep is the foundation of doing everything.
