I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 765 - 471: Sudden Change at the Dinner Party_2

Lutina took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"The Sun is the true culprit that leads the world to its end!"

Her voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed through every corner of the grand banquet hall.

The music had already stopped.

The court musicians fell fearfully from their chairs, trembling uncontrollably, while the attendants and ordinary stewards felt the atmosphere turn exceptionally cold in an instant, their limbs involuntarily stiff and numb.

The guests remained silent, and for a moment, the scene was eerily quiet.

Prince Dazlert’s face was ashen as he slowly stood up, his hand tightly gripping the Cross Sword, pointing it directly at Lutina.

"You are treading a path to your own death, Lutina... Even if I do not kill you, Father King will not let you step half a foot outside of Bixie Crost,"

"Let’s see about that."

Lutina said indifferently, slightly tilting her fair chin upwards.

"You, a mortal youngster who has only lived for a mere couple of decades, talk of killing this and that... This is merely one of my incarnations. If you want to kill me, have your father bring the entire ’Holy Guard of the Bathed Light’ from the Royal Family to the Spirit World to find my true form."

After she spoke, she turned around to leave.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, in a split second, five golden pillars of light descended out of nowhere; like the points of a pentagram, they occupied five positions, ensnaring Lutina tightly within.

It was the ’Holy Guard of the Bathed Light,’ charged with the personal protection of Prince Dazlert.

As Princess Anna had said, they should have been out on another mission, but, unexpectedly, they had returned to the banquet hall at this moment... Chen Lun glanced at Princess Anna, who simply raised her eyebrows and sent him an apologetic look.

At the same time, from among the crowd of guests, three high-ranking members of the Sun Church, clothed in gold-embroidered white robes, stepped forward, blocking the way of Nun Olmido from the Moon Church.

"Olmido, I had not expected you to be so foolish."

The one who spoke was none other than Chen Lun’s old acquaintance, Archbishop Terence.

But Olmido ignored Terence as if he was invisible, looking past the three and directly at Prince Dazlert, and asked expressionlessly:

"Your Highness, are you certain you want to make a move against me? The Moon Church is one of the few churches within the Seven Gods Church that supports the Royal Family... With your actions, are you intending to push us away, or rather, are you indicating the Royal Family wants to go to war with several churches at the same time?"

"You..."

The corner of Prince Dazlert’s eyes twitched, veins bulging on his forehead as he struggled to contain his anger and took a deep breath.

He knew there was some truth to Olmido’s words, but it was definitely not to that extent, as she alone could hardly represent the entire Moon Church.

"Olmido! You have brought Lutina before me and deliberately humiliated the Crown Prince in such circumstances out of personal sentiment; it is disrespect and contempt towards the Empire and Father King, and it is desecration towards our Gods of faith... No matter what, you will not escape grave responsibility!"

The Prince said with an indifferent tone, his words ringing with gravity.

The sword in his hand was gripped straight, and its tip glimmered with a chilling light.

"As for Lutina, rest assured, once your incarnation is destroyed, I will report your words truthfully to Father King, and at that time, I hope you can be as arrogant as you are now!"

Prince Dazlert immediately ordered:

"Suppress them both!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The five tall Golden Armored Knights responded in unison from within their sealed helmets in a muffled tone.

With a thunderous roar, the Holy Guard and the surrounded Lutina vanished from everyone’s sight as they joined forces to move the battlefield to the Spirit World, so as to avoid collateral damage to the palace banquet hall.

Olmido, on the other hand, did not resist at all. He let Terence bind him with shackles made of light, and was detained by three high-ranking members of the Sun Church and escorted out of the banquet hall... However, the old nun turned her head one last time, giving Prince Dazlert a meaningful glance.

It seemed the incident had come to an end.

The people present still maintained their silence, clearly shocked by the events that had just unfolded. No one could have imagined that such an unexpected incident would occur at Prince Dazlert’s birthday banquet.

Chen Lun furrowed his brow.

He had heard what Princess Lutina had said just earlier. He hadn’t expected that she was friends with Floey’s ancestor, Asina, and that after twelve years, seizing the opportunity to express the Naturalist Sect’s discontent, she had specially created a painting fulfilling her friend’s last wish to show to the people present.

The guests were all important figures of the Empire, and such news would surely spread quickly from the Royal City. The Sun Royal Family would struggle to contain it... As for what changes the future held, it was still unknown.

’The black sun on that painting, is it symbolizing the Sun God, ’Profound Mother,’ who was killed by the ’Fiery Father?’ What revelation did Floey’s ancestor Asina receive at that time? Could she be another person guided by destiny?’

Chen Lun speculated privately, his mood growing somewhat gloomy.

Despite his Spiritual Intuition not issuing any strong warnings, he still felt uneasy. The evening’s banquet already concealed a threat to life. Princess Anna and the Solar Cross Society waited for their chance to kill Prince Dazlert. He only wanted to ensure the safety of himself and Floey as much as possible, but the situation had become more complicated with the intervention of Princess Lutina, adding an element of uncertainty...

"Brother, there is no need for anger, Father King will punish Them."

Princess Anna then slowly rose to her feet and presented the cup of wine that the prince had earlier.

"Today is your birthday, let the banquet continue."

"Hmm."

Prince Dazlert, leaning on the Cross Sword, nodded expressionlessly.

Though his sister offered him the cup of wine, he shook his head to decline.

"No more drinking, I’m not in the mood."

Anna did not say anything more, simply placing the wine cup back on the coffee table in silence.

But Chen Lun noticed once again, a flicker of light passed over her golden crown, and in the next second, Prince Dazlert changed his mind. After a heavy sigh, he whispered to himself:

"Never mind."

Then, very naturally, he picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Princess Anna’s eyes were profound as she also followed the prince’s action, taking a sip of the wine.

"Cough cough... "

Suddenly, Dazlert began to cough. Babayeh, the Steward, quickly stepped forward to support him, rubbing his back and asking with concern:

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"COUGH COUGH COUGH!!"

The prince’s eyes bulged and his face turned red. His handsome and pale face was filled with disbelief, his expression twisted by asphyxiation and pain throughout his body, his veins popping.

The wine cup fell from his grasp and shattered on the floor.

Clang!

The other guests noticed something was wrong and couldn’t help but exclaim in horror.

Prince Dazlert gasped for breath, with blood first flowing out from his nostrils, then from his widely open mouth, and finally, from his eyes and ears.

Realizing what was happening, he mustered his last bit of strength to point at the shattered wine cup on the floor, then looked towards his sister. However... Princess Anna was also bleeding from the seven orifices, falling straight to the ground.

"The Crown Prince... and Princess Anna... they’re both dead!!"

Babayeh, the Steward, stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, screaming in shock.
