Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 489 The lingering ghost
Rean is not a procrastinator; in fact, it was Suliman who had some hesitation or even fear about marriage before.

She clearly did not have a happy family.

Unfortunately, having seen too many unhappy women, I lack the confidence to be a good wife or even a good mother.

As time went on, the matter was temporarily put aside.

Suliman didn't mention a wedding date, and Rean didn't ask either. They both tacitly enjoyed the pleasant dating life of an engaged couple, but now, someone couldn't hold back anymore.

"Sister Rose, she's coming back soon. She might break down at any moment, throw herself into your arms, and ask, 'Hi, darling, did you miss me?'"

I must say, they imitated it quite well.

"Or, when we wake up, I'm resting my head on your arm. And when I wake up, I find a bulge under your blanket, and when I pull it back, I hear a sickeningly sweet 'Pfft, pfft, pfft, your little cutie has suddenly appeared!'"

At this moment, Rean couldn't hold back anymore. Looking at the girl who was imitating so perfectly, he wondered if she was mentally sound.

"Uh, does that mean you, Suliman, have also awakened precognitive abilities?" The adorable Dania suddenly popped up, seemingly very interested.

"No, I've just been having a lot of nightmares lately, a lot of them."

The girl covered her forehead, looking somewhat helpless.

In reality, no one can stop Purple Rose, a magical girl of legendary caliber or above, who is also a legendary "con artist" at her peak. She is an opponent that no one wants to face.

In the small room of Rean's house, everyone else wanted to laugh but dared not, except for one girl who was truly going crazy.

"The most outrageous thing is that at that time, Sister Rose still had milky white stuff in her mouth. Ahhhhhhh!" Her snake hair flew everywhere, and the woman went completely mad.

"Stop talking! If you say another word, the censorship will be cancelled!"

Rean quickly stopped the already frantic Sallyman. Only Purple Rose could push her to this point.

"Be nice to her." Dania felt a little sorry for her sister; it seemed that this family had encountered some problems.

Rean remained silent, knowing some things he couldn't say. In fact, both of them knew that Suliman was a "prophetic psychic".

She does indeed possess a certain degree of prophetic ability, especially when it comes to her own situation. This mind mage specializes in avoiding various risks, and clearly her sense of crisis has been activated.

The "spiritual shock" that transcended time dealt a heavy blow to Suliman's soul, but Rean still had some things to say.

"Well, even if we got married, she wouldn't care. No, considering our relationship, and your relationship with her, she'd be even more excited."

After Rean finished speaking, silence fell over the surroundings.

This is absolutely true.

"Hehehe." Sallyman, who was laughing with her head down, became a little dangerous, and her full head of snake hair began to condense petrifying rays.

The farce ended there. Because Rean revealed the "truth," Sallyman temporarily stopped. She may not understand what an "incompetent wife" or a "newlywed husband" means, but she at least hopes to have a proper talk with her aunt to avoid being brutally attacked by her opponent.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the room, Mina, who was also a member of the family, was shocked. Was her aunt, Sallyman, really that outrageous?

"It seems your brother's family is also complicated. Little Lana, don't look, don't look at such bad people."

While covering the little one's eyes, she tried to make herself invisible. What Mina valued more was the fact that Princess Dania had come here and was so close to her brother Rean.

"They're like partners, no, like family."

This was undoubtedly a top secret, but Mina looked at her innocent-looking brother Rean and couldn't help but sigh.

How come I never noticed before that this "honest guy" was so likable? Wasn't his favorite way to kill time hiding in a dark room and getting moldy? Sure enough, men go bad when they come out.

"Let's get back to the main point. This time, the nobles and churches behind the scenes are at least a dozen."

Given Dania's current status as a Shadow Chosen, if she were to leave the mansion and go to any part of the city, she would likely be difficult to detect. It's very difficult for a person to notice a change in a shadow, especially when that shadow can traverse dimensions.
"The Shadow Servant gave me information that they've set their sights on the town of Dania. There are some spies in your territory, and they're likely to cause trouble, possibly disguised as your enemies."

"The enemy? The Order of the Beasts?"

"No, even if they get that area, they will be besieged and it will become a slave market."

Rean froze. This slave market really was a persistent ghost.

"We all know that it's just a facade. If the things underneath aren't cleaned up, it's just a matter of replacing them with a new batch of people. Those forces can easily gather a bunch of scoundrels and put together an entire cult. The leaders this time are all highly skilled professionals."

"The leader?"

"The Viscount Finkel family, White Hat Sima, and the Four Leaf Church."

Rean was somewhat helpless. The good news was that these three families did not seem to be strong, at least not the top forces in the city. The bad news was that they were just "cannon fodder" that were pushed out.

This doesn't mean they already know their scheme has been exposed; Rean still trusts the abilities of the royal spies. Rather, it means these interconnected interest groups are used to having their lower-ranking subordinates handle whatever they really want to do.

"A pledge of allegiance?"

These companies have a fairly good reputation and are relatively neutral. Now, as the implementers, this is probably a test and a trial for them.

The others are fine, but White Hat Sima... this isn't an organization, it's a person.

"Does the city lord know?"

"I don't want to disrupt his retirement schedule."

White Hat Sima is one of the city lord's adopted sons and was previously considered a candidate for succession, but clearly, due to Princess Dania's gradual control of the city, he has lost the possibility of seizing power.

The city lord was able to accept retirement, and his children were gradually suppressed, including his capable adopted sons. Some had already pledged allegiance to the princess, but this one was clearly not so willing.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm used to the fact that when I change my own and my country's destiny, I'm bound to affect the lives of many others."

Dania said quite frankly that if she really had to worry about this and that, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

"It's just a matter of losing power. Go look at the people struggling to make a living at the docks. Many of them are homeless people who have lost their country. And those Hadur refugees who are still playing the victim in the mage district, they have truly lost both their future and their lives."

The girl's eyes shimmered with a divine light; she was a chosen one of God, yet she was still the princess of this country.

Just as her first awakened dragon's word was "King," once she was determined to shoulder the future of the entire country, she was already prepared to advance over countless corpses.

Once she has come to her senses and faced those nightmares head-on, what else is there for her to fear or hesitate about?

Compared to the future in dreams, even the greatest hardships in the present can be overcome.

No, it should be said that we need to strive to change our destiny so that such a future never comes.

Simply waiting in vain will only bring even greater misfortune; extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

"This time, let's go big. We should drag all those unstable traitors into the open. If that city lord's son is courting death, let him die a horrible death!"

"That would kill a lot of people, wouldn't it?" Rean was a little surprised. Was he really being allowed to kill indiscriminately?

Allowing paladins to conduct trials in the city center could have serious consequences.

"It's better than them dragging us down at crucial moments. If they had no fear, they would delay our progress in every way. Fighting for a little bit of power can drag everyone down to hell."

Dania came specifically to give Rean the authority to kill.

"Alright, we've prepared a banquet, and we're just waiting for those who're courting death to come."
