Chapter 498 The Terrifying Brother-Obsessed Princess
“Brother Saintly King, you shouldn’t be too harsh on Clem. He has already tried his best.”

Upon hearing Princess Lana, whom he served, speak up for him, Clem quickly waved his hand, feigning flattery, and said, "No, no, no, my efforts are nothing compared to His Highness Seiya."

Despite his exceptional talent and formidable strength, Prince Seizai remains incredibly diligent, even to the point of exhaustion and fainting from overexertion during training.

Compared to His Highness Seiya, I feel utterly ashamed.

"Alright, Clem, could you please go and get my black tea set for me? I'd like to have a good chat with Prince Seiya."

Princess Lana enjoys drinking black tea, so she has a specially made tea set. Therefore, when she gave him instructions, Clem quickly nodded and turned to leave.

After seeing Clem leave, Seiya sighed deeply, then turned to his dear sister and said, "Lana, there's no one else here now, so you don't have to pretend to be innocent anymore."

Tell me, what brings you here this time? If you're planning to play another prank on someone, don't blame me for exposing you.

Moreover, ever since you took in Clem, your personality seems to have gotten worse and worse. Now even your second brother and Marquis Rebourne should have seen through your true nature.

After Clem left, leaving only Seiya and Lana in the room, Lana, who had been smiling sweetly like a girl next door, was nowhere to be seen as the "Golden Princess."

Although it's still a smile, Lana's demeanor has clearly changed drastically at this moment.

If her smile before was the kind of innocent, healing smile of a young girl, then the smile that appeared on her face now was a chilling smile, like that of a witch or a demon.

“Brother Saintly King, you’ve gone too far. I just enjoy seeing Clem’s troubled expression.”

Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, Prince Seiya has always been the person I like and trust the most. Prince Seiya is the only one who knows my true personality and can still be tolerant of me, isn't he?

Moreover, I'm not here to do anything bad; I've come specifically to inform my brother, Prince Seiya.

After learning that you had fainted, your brothers Pablo and Zanak were quite pleased and even plotted to deal with you.

As your most beloved younger sister, I rushed over to tell you immediately, but Brother Seiya's reaction has made me a little angry.

That's right, Her Highness the "Golden Princess" of the Kingdom of Ri Yestize, although she has unparalleled beauty and wisdom in the eyes of outsiders, her usual innocent and naive image is just a disguise.

Her true personality is that of a girl with an extremely dark and crazy inner world.

Moreover, Seiya was extremely helpless about this.

As a transmigrator who knows the plot, Seiya naturally knows the personality of the "Golden Princess".

Furthermore, as his older brother, Seiya also tried to educate him when he was young to prevent him from going down the wrong path.

Perhaps for this reason, Seiya, who had always kept Lana by his side since childhood, became the person she trusted and was closest to.

Whether it's the saying "it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature" or Lana was born with a dark side, in any case, his earnest teachings from childhood had no effect on Lana, and the girl still went astray.

Of course, his efforts weren't entirely in vain. It was because Seiya had given Lana care that no one else had given her since childhood, to the point that she was extremely dependent on Seiya, even to the point of being somewhat pathologically obsessed with him...

The original "Golden Princess" was willing to sacrifice anything for her own goals, regardless of whether it was her brother, her father, or the entire country. While the current Lana is equally dark and insane, she shows some restraint when it comes to matters concerning Seiya.

"Pablo and Zanak want to get back at me?"

Faced with Seiya's question, Lana couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, the two brothers really are both talentless and brainless."

Anyone with eyes can see that Prince Seiya, like me, has no interest in the throne, yet they have always regarded him as a threat.

The second prince, who had a bit of sense, was alright; he was probably instigated by the nobles who supported him. But the eldest prince, that brainless idiot, made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

It's ridiculous. If Prince Seiya really wanted to compete for the throne, with his prestige among the army and the people, plus his own abilities, Prince Pablo and Prince Zanak would have absolutely no chance.

Even though Prince Seiya didn't have such intentions, they still went to great lengths to eliminate him, the most threatening figure.

Seeing Lana, who usually appears innocent and well-behaved, now insulting her two older brothers in an extremely sarcastic tone, would probably shock anyone who saw this.

However, Seiya had already gotten used to it, because this was the real Lana.

Moreover, when she's with Seiya, this dark and crazy younger sister never needs to hide her personality.

Seiya wasn't too surprised that the kingdom's eldest and second princes viewed him as a threat and even wanted to get rid of him.

The struggle between legitimate and illegitimate heirs has always been like this, especially now that the throne is at stake.

Throughout history, how many people have been able to remain unmoved by the position that symbolizes the pinnacle of power?

“Brother Holy King, there is something I don’t quite understand. If you have no intention of vying for the throne, why do you display your outstanding talents in front of outsiders?”

It's important to know that in royalty, being too talented isn't always a good thing.

I don't think someone as intelligent as Prince Seizai would be unaware of this... Could it be that Prince Seizai is trying to gain Father's approval through this?

But I don't think that my brother, Prince Seizai, is such a naive person.

Although Lana is dark and crazy at heart, in terms of talent and skill, she is undoubtedly far superior to her two older brothers.

The reason she has always pretended to be innocent and naive is to avoid being drawn into the dangerous political arena.

In her opinion, Seiya was smarter than her and should know better how to protect himself, but Seiya, who had no interest in the throne, never did so, which was something that Lana had always found puzzling.

"Lana, let me put it this way to you, in the near future, the entire Kingdom of Ri Yestize will face the crisis of national annihilation."

That was a catastrophe, a natural disaster, for the kingdom... no, for all humanity in this world.

In a typical royal contest, concealing one's abilities would be the best course of action, but the current situation does not allow me to do so.
