Chapter 541 - Second Meeting

Five days later at the time of evening, a fort that was protected by military soldiers on the southern border had an invader entering through their defensive formations and barriers using the true dimension.

Similar to how they hijacked the place with Hector, Kahn and the group used the same method and got a face-to-face confrontation with Venessa Hos Sigfreed, the third princess of the Vulcan empire.

But unlike before… they latter was expecting them.

Everyone including Kahn kneeled in front of Venessa after they had successfully taken control of the situation and knocked out all of her people.

"It's an honor to finally meet you, your highness." spoke who had the voice of a middle-aged man this time and their group was covered in green robes, a white mask with a sigil of a particular empire.

"You… are you from there?" asked Venessa.

"Yes, your highness. I apologize for showing up after so many years.

There was a time when we served your mother. But ever since our princess… I mean the third queen's death… things had been unstable in the motherland." said Kahn.

This time, their story was that of people who supported Venessa but were from her mother's empire.

Kahn had found out that because of her mother being an outsider… she didn't have many loyal retainers in this empire and even those who supported her back in the day had changed sides a long time ago.

However, even without any clan's support… Venessa was a tenacious woman who had achieved her current power and influence with her own strength and capabilities even though she was only 30 years old.

Unlike the other two princes, who relied on the support from the other clans and the nobles… Venessa had support from many military houses and commanders because of her achievements.

"You are a fifth stage saint, aren't you? I can't even feel your saint pressure properly.

Yet you make it look like you're on the same stage as me." spoke Venessa after she noticed the domain.

"Why did you suddenly show up if you served my mother?" she asked in a suspicious tone.

Kahn then pitched in the same plan as he did with Hector and perfectly aligned his story.

"This seems like a ploy to take me down instead. If I intentionally spread these rumors throughout the empire with no real proof… it will be me facing the imperial justice and not that psycho.

Said Venessa, clearly not falling for the trap.

"You highness… the first prince is already making his moves." spoke Kahn.

And to make her believe them, they exposed two of the traitors in her ranks. Both of whom were sent by the clan of the first prince's mother.

However, this time… Kahn used a different approach to make Venessa, who he was meeting for the second time, believe their lie.

Kahn then revealed a piece of key information that shook Venessa to her core.

"We finally found out how the third queen died." he said.

"What nonsense is this?! Everyone knows that my mother died because of a terminal illness when I was only five years old!" exclaimed Venessa in an enraged tone.

To her words, Kahn only shook his head and then pulled out two books from his space ring and presented them to her.

On both of these books, were different crests of clans. Obviously, belonging to the two clans who supported the other two prince.

One of the books recipes of untraceable slow poisons and other book had the records of shady payments done to those who looked after the third queen as her medical attendants.

Thud!

Venessa fell back on her chair after seeing the proof.

That her mother didn't die due to terminal illness but because she was strategically drugged over years and then at one point… her body broke down from the inside as she died a slow and painful death.

This was what Kahn and Ronin found when they sent his spies to the headquarters of the clan of the first and second prince's mother's side.

Using Dimensional Law and sending his Trojan horses… Kahn was already an unfathomably terrifying enemy when it came to infiltration and go undetected.

And he went deep inside their old archives and gathered the information to reel in Venessa on their side. The same way he did with Hector.

This new revelation ended up riling Venessa for good.

"Your highness… there's another fact that you should know." spoke Kahn and then revealed another fact that turned Venessa's world upside down.

"You're lying!!" shouted Venessa who now had an ashen expression.

"It's true… The Emperor knew about this. But he didn't do anything despite knowing the truth.

Just to keep his reign intact… he didn't punish those who killed the 3rd queen." spoke Kahn as if he too was grieving.

[Hahaha!! You should've been an actor, boy!

Even I was moved by your words!] laughed Rathnaar.

[Shut up! We're not done yet.] said Kahn.

"Princess, you should know that you still have people who have loyalty towards your mother.

But they won't show up with full support unless you show them that you're worthy." he revealed.

"How do you want me to prove my worth?" asked Venessa as her eyes were burning with vengeance.

"You must become the crown princess first." informed Kahn and then told the next move.

It was the same strategy he told Hector.

And just as he expected… Venessa agreed to take down the second prince first.

Now, she only had two goals in her mind.

To become the empress and destroy those two clans who killed her mother.

Kahn then set up dates and plans with Venessa and how they were going to strategically execute everything.

But it had to be her doing without anyone replaceing about their involvement.

In a way, it was their test to see Venessa prove her worth. And their support will carry on only if she showed that she had what it took to gain their recognition and loyalty.

And after everything was taken care of… Kahn and the gang returned to Nidavellir after a few days.

After dealing with both Hector and Venessa, Kahn and the crew had only one target left that they had to deal with. Namely…

The Second Prince.
