Everyone turned to see the new player who just entered the show.
And the appearance of this new player shocked the people who were out there.
He had a long white beard along with short white hair which barely covered his bald head. He was wearing a red robe and anyone could see the golden emblem of the Sargeer Empire, embroidered on his chest.
Of course, he was the first elder of the Sargeer Clan, the right hand and the most trusted servant of the Emperor.
Seeing his appearance there Karl and Yalenna's eyes narrowed.
' Why is he here?'
Both asked themselves.
" Look! He is the first elder! Even he had to come to this place! Haha, this is going to be interesting!"
" Yes. I think he is the emperor's agent here. For these 400 years, he never showed clear protest against the queen. But now the first elder's appearance here shows something hehe~"
" Shut your mouth, if anyone from that Imperial Family heard what you just said, you would have been a piece of meat by now!"
" Hey, I'm stating the facts right! The feud between her and the Emperor is a public secret right?"
The onlookers got excited to see what was going to happen. One seemed to be an imposter who publicly insulted the queen and the other was the offended party and the first elder! It was rare to witness such scenarios in the Imperial City, because no one for a millennium had the guts to do something like Karl had done!
Karl and Yalenna both looked at each other with confused looks.
Soon they returned their gazes towards the First Elder. Karl knew this was the only chance he got to escape from the queen's grasp. He realised he had underestimated the queen and her competent crew. He expected that the news of him insulting the queen would reach her by the time he returned to his courtyard. But unfortunately, he had completely underestimated the organisation which was under her command. It didn't take more than 30 minutes of time for her to come to the place.
So, he decided to take the chance.
" Yes, your majesty! You can't even remember me now, huh? As expected from a queen like you! You never even tried to remember our names! Why can't you just be the noble consort or something like that? You are not worthy of the Emperor! Step down and let someone capable take over that position!"
" Huh? You dare to insult the Queen of The Sargeer Empire publicly without any proof?"
" Folks! Here comes again the word 'proof'! See, how shameless she is!"
" Ahem, I think that's enough! These types of news can't be allowed to leak too much. We should discuss this situation in the meeting tomorrow. Queen Arlogha, I'm sad to say you are under house arrest till the High Court gives its final decision. All your guards and your organisation shall be excluded from operations."
" Huh? Because of some baseless facts from a fool, you are going to put me under house arrest?"
" Well, I'm not here, if I don't have enough proof, right? You know that, I think."
" Can I have a look at your so-called proofs? I want to know how you are going to prove using them."
" Well, ahem, according to the rules of the High Court and due to the possible risks that the evidence could receive, I'm afraid your request is not acceptable, currently. All relevant evidence will be revealed in the High Court."
" So, you are saying I have no right to see the proof, right now?"
" I'm afraid, yes"
" I have to hand over the control to the Emperor, right?"
" Not really, but perhaps, it may be."
" HAHAHAHA, so all of this acting was just to grab my organisation? So, he is finally taking his move! HAHAHAHA, fuck I'm so happy! I never thought the chance to leave this prison would come this soon! Hahaha~" She started to laugh maniacally. Her whole body was shaking when she was laughing like crazy. It was as if some kid found his long-lost toy just a moment before.
Now, this was the time for the First Elder to be confused. He continued to look at the crazy-laughing queen with narrowed eyes. Even the onlookers became shocked because of her baby-like strange behaviour.
" Is she our queen? I think she is a baby rather than a queen!"
A boy who was about the same age as Karl was, spoke.
Then she turned towards Karl and appeared an inch away from him in an instant and she whispered,
" You are not thinking that, I can't see who you really are, Crown Prince. Well, you earned my interest. From the beginning, I knew you were not as simple as you seem to be. I hope we will meet again in the near future! Think, of it as a repayment for helping me to escape."
Then she straightened her back a little while still staring at his eyes.
With that, she turned her face towards the First Elder and shouted,
" I, Yalenna Arlogha, would like to divorce my husband, Wongoner Sargeer and step down from the position of Empress of the Holy Land of Light. From now on I shall have no privileges, I had as the Empress and also I will step down from my position at the Clan Arlogha and shall renounce my inheritance and the origin as a Clan Arlogha Clan member. From today on, I shall be known as Silent Sparrow, the leader of the Eclipse League!"
Of course, the name of the organisation had already changed. Yalenna took safety measures in order to hide its activities from the external world. She had assigned every each member of her organisation, who all were women, with code names like Silent Sparrow which she picked for herself.
She smiled at the First Elder and a sudden thought of uneasiness flared up in his mind, and in an instant, he understood what was going to happen.
" Catch her!"
But before the guards could act, Yalenna raised her middle finger towards him and screamed, " Fuck you!" and disappeared in an orange fog.
" Shit! She escaped! Activate all magical barriers! And lock down the city! We can't let her leave here! That was his highness the Emperor's orders! What are you waiting for, GO!" The first elder roared in rage.
Dozens of guards shot in different directions making sonic booms.
While all these things were happening around Karl stood there absentmindedly still with a confused look on his face! He stood like a stupid statue on the pedestal in the middle of all this hassle! The reason?
' She knows! How could she just see through my deception? I'm an apostle!'
" System! What's wrong with me? Why could she find the real me?"
" Processing information,

" What the fuck? Can't you just answer?"
" Karl, I think she has the vision of truth. Nothing can be hidden from it. Even the higher beings are also wary of them. I saw the specific glint which can only be seen in the eyes of the ones who have that vision, in her eyes too." Marina replied.
" Haaah, vision of truth! This power is so op. Well, I guess I have to be careful with her. It seems she is not easy to deal with."
" Right now, she is seeing you as one of her enemies, who are allied with the Emperor. So getting to her good side will be tough for you."
" Sigh. I had nothing to do to avoid it, right? By this, I could just complete two of the weekly challenges in one go! So, I think, the loss is worthy of the prize."
" Beep:-
Skills battery:-
Remaining battery power: 19%
Remaining time: 2d 4h
Do you want to turn on the power saving mode?"
" What the fuck, is this? Battery power?"
" Sigh, so it also started, huh?" Marina sighed.
" What has started?"
Marina went silent.
" Hey! Spit it out already!"
" Well, this was the reason why I cursed all the fucking higher beings at that time!"
" You mean the time we had sex?"
" Mmm, yeah. Since you have gained an eternal wife for the rest of your life, sigh, you can't just do nothing, okay? You have to get something from me while you give something to me. You can charge your 'Skills battery' with the energy you get from me, and probably I will get divine pleasure or something like that from you. In summary, I'm the source of energy for your skills."
" Come again?"
" Sigh, I mean you have to fuck me from time to time, to charge your battery which keeps your skills functioning. Imagine, I'm some sort of electricity storage and my vagina as a plug point. Then the thing you have down there as a plug and you as the receiver of power. Through sex, you have to absorb power which accumulates down in my vagina, to keep all your skills running. Sigh, I'm feeling itchy there! Fuck, I think for the rest of my life, I will feel horny whenever I'm around you! Shit! It's wet!"
