The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

No wonder she noticed Kula, no wonder she kept staring at me, and that secret room in the side hall just now—it all seems to explain her identity: a mistress who is working hard to rise to power!

She had been keeping a close eye on the Queen and Kurara's movements in order to get promoted, so it's reasonable that she might also be colluding with that annoying mentor, Maggie.

While Lorenwei found it perfectly natural, the Queen was secretly thrilled: "Wow, being my own mistress seems pretty exciting!"

Oh my, what a dramatic scene it is! It's a tragic love affair, a fictional story of a husband's betrayal and one's own grief!

This queen, who loves to stir things up, would be even more perfect if she just sang a song titled "For all the pain of clinging to love, for all the wounds of clinging to hate" out loud.

Kura, who was quietly observing from the shadows, heard everything and couldn't help but admire her mother's ability to concoct such a plausible lie!

However, after this matter is over, will Lorenwei be angry? Kurara is a little worried.

Although she knew it was revenge for Lorenwei lying to her, she still felt guilty.

"You take Kurara, and I get the king. We each get what we want, how about it?" the queen stated her price.

Lorenwei gave a strange look: "You really will take me to rescue Kulara?"

"Yes, I will guide you along the way, but there may be some risks that you need to overcome."

"Then I'll take her away, and you'll gain the king's favor?" Lorenwei's large eyes darted around, clearly calculating in her mind. "The conditions you've proposed are very tempting..."

The noblewoman said smugly, "That's right! You've won the princess! I've won the king's favor, and I no longer need to seek the favor of any noble in the Fet Empire's delegation!"

"Hehehe..." Loren let out a burst of laughter.

"Why are you smiling so strangely?" The noblewoman noticed Lorenwei's odd expression.

Under the moonlight, Lorenwei stretched out her left hand to Pingping beside her, the space ring on it reflecting a silver light in the moonlight: "With you as an inside man, it will definitely be much easier to rescue the princess than for someone as directionally challenged as me, maybe even many times simpler."

Her right hand slowly pulled on the ring, and a huge, broad-backed knight's sword was slowly drawn out.

The movements were slow and elegant, yet they were full of intimidation.

The girl's slender figure seemed to stretch out slowly under the moonlight.

The queen's professional level was that of a mage, but looking at Lorenwei at this moment, she felt a strange sense of dread.

She felt a chill run down her spine; it seemed that, without her noticing, a thick killing intent had enveloped her...

“Just cooperate, and it'll benefit both of us. With such good terms, who wouldn't refuse unless they're completely stupid? But…” Lorenwei continued slowly, “I’m an idiot, so…”

call--

"I reject!"

The broadsword flashed out like lightning, grazing the noblewoman's side, its sharp, invisible blade sweeping past.

The noblewoman broke out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of escaping death rose in the archmage's heart.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being hit; the force was both domineering and precise. Without a doubt, if it had been aimed at her, he would be in two pieces by now!

call--

Behind her, countless flowers and plants were shattered by the sword wind, and a deep ravine was cleaved out.

This was incredibly precise control. The domineering sword energy swept through the flower bushes and then disappeared precisely without attacking the wall behind them, thus without making a loud noise.

It may not seem to have much attack power, but any expert can see the mystery behind it. The skill of controlling the force within a certain range is even more astonishing.

Lorenwei twirled her heavy knight's sword in a dazzling display with one hand, then arrogantly held it against the noblewoman's nose, her voice icy cold: "If you harbor any further thoughts of harming Kurara and her mother, next time I won't be chopping flowers and grass, but you!"

Chapter 173 The Son-in-Law's Crime Is Unforgivable? An Assassin Discovered in the Palace! Good Luck in Women's Clothing!

"..." Kurara stared at Lorenwei from afar, completely stunned.

Her face began to flush.

I just felt that at this moment, Lorenwei was truly...

So handsome!

Lorenve's words were still echoing in her mind: "I'm an idiot, so... I refuse."

"If you ever again entertain any thought of harming Kurara and her mother, next time I won't be chopping up flowers and plants, I'll be chopping you down!"

When Lorenwei heard that it would harm my mother's interests and affect the harmony of my family, she was not tempted in any way and resolutely refused to cooperate!

Without any discussion, she turned hostile!

Even his sudden change of attitude is so cool!

There's no need to reason with her! Lorenwei doesn't consider whether she'll benefit herself; she'll refuse outright if I might be harmed!

The more Kurala thought about it, the more she savored it, the more her heart fluttered, and the more a feeling of happiness welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Furthermore, his dashing sword-wielding posture, even with his most respected mother in the background, did not diminish his heroic spirit at that moment!

So cool!

Although Lorenwei is still a cute and beautiful young girl at this moment, she is completely different from the handsome Lorenwei in her mind before, but she is undoubtedly the one she likes.

This act of wielding a knife and refusing the temptation to cooperate completely overlapped with the behavior of his beloved Loren! The name Loren seemed to have become a code name.

Yes, she's my favorite, Lorenwei! She'll definitely be my husband in two years!

Kurara's face flushed red, her chest heaving as she breathed rapidly.

If Lorenve appeared in front of Kurala at this moment, she would definitely have the urge to hug her tightly.

"Your Highness?" The housekeeper noticed that Kurara's eyes were not moving, and she was staring blankly at Lorenwei in the distance.

But Kurara didn't hear the housekeeper's words at all.

Her mind kept replaying Lorenwei's words and actions, and her gaze was fixed on Lorenwei in the distance.

"No, no! Your Highness, stop spacing out!" The housekeeper shook Kurara's shoulders vigorously and even stood in front of her to block her view.

Kurara then came to her senses. She had been staring intently at Lorenwei and hadn't noticed what was happening. Now, looking closely, she was also dumbfounded.

Lorenve and Queen Percy in the distance...

"What are you going to do?! You, you dare? You dare to tie me up?!" The noblewoman couldn't believe that Lorenwei would actually come up and tie up her still trembling hands.

The overwhelming power of a sword saint was on full display at this moment.

Now that she had made the threat, Lorenvey was about to tie the lady up.

For a fleeting moment, she had the urge to knock the noblewoman unconscious, but something inexplicably felt off, so she didn't dare to do it...

In fact, you could say that Lorenwei was luckier than Loren! Despite her girlish appearance, she was very fortunate!

If you knock out this noblewoman, the Queen of the Grand Duchy of Percy—your future mother-in-law, that's not something you can get forgiven just by kneeling on a washboard!

"Which of these ropes do you like?" Lorenwei asked, but her hands moved quickly as she took out several types of ropes from her spatial ring.

The ropes were made of transparent, thin as steel wire, spun by a spider monster (I don't know if they were spider silk), dark brown leather ropes, brownish-yellow grass ropes, and relatively gentle silk ropes.

"I won't choose!" The noblewoman tried to struggle, but found that she was intimidated by the other party's strength. But did she really have to fight him?

However, after that suppression, he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of opposing it.

This is the kind of cowardice that comes from a highly skilled individual who has reached a certain level, when faced with overwhelming power...

A mage? In the eyes of most, that's a high-level existence. But compared to a legendary hero like a swordsman, they're just a piece of cake!

Queen Percy has always prided herself on being a rare and outstanding individual among the nobility. Even after getting married and having children, she never gave up her cultivation. Yet, when faced with such a junior, she was utterly crushed and even tied up.

Before the noblewoman, Queen Percy, could react, she had already been tied up very quickly by Lorenve.

Of course, to some extent, it was also because she was the prospective son-in-law, and the mother-in-law genuinely didn't want to have a physical fight.

Queen Percy was stunned.

At this moment, Lorenwei glanced at her binding technique and thought, "Hmm, the leather rope is still quite sturdy."

There weren't many fancy ways to tie her up, and she didn't care.

Under other circumstances, she might have used some special methods. But her Sword Saint form only lasted a little over three minutes, and she bound the noblewoman in the shortest possible time.

The Sword Saint's hand speed was lightning fast; it was quite normal for Queen Percy, a mage who wasn't good at physical strength, to be unable to react in time.

Lorenwei applied a little healing magic to the noblewoman's elbows and other areas that were heavily bound, to prevent the overly tough leather ropes from obstructing her blood flow and causing limb necrosis.

"How do you know so much about all these people, having tied them up so many times?" Queen Percy asked, her hands behind her back, looking at Lorenwei in disbelief.

“Uh… I’ve always honed my skills by tying up rabbits,” Lorenwei said honestly.

Of course, after practicing the binding method countless times in my mind, I finally have a subject to put it into practice.

Lorenwei glanced over the woman she saw as a noblewoman, barely suppressing the urge to glare at her.

"That figure... are all the beauties in the Grand Duchy of Posey this well-developed? I'd believe it if you told me she was Kurara's mother; she's got a figure that could shake Yueyang City. It's just that she's too young; she doesn't seem to match Kurara's mother's youth." Lorenwei pondered confidently.

She turned to leave, but quickly took a handkerchief from her ring and stuffed it into the lady's mouth.

"Ugh—" Queen Percy didn't react for a moment and her mouth was suddenly gagged.

Then, Lorenwei grabbed him and threw him into the corner of the side hall.

From threatening to binding, the action was extremely fast, taking no more than a minute.

I was moving too fast, and I had no choice but to be fast! Lorenwei felt the Sword Saint's time state passing by so quickly, and resolutely decided to seize the opportunity.

Although the early morning hours are fast approaching and I will have another chance to gain the Sword Saint buff, I must calculate precisely.

With a few swift leaps, she quickly jumped onto the roof of the side hall and quietly began to observe.

Although the Palace of Percy is not as grand as the royal palace, it still has a certain imposing presence.

Lorenwei's next plan is to rescue Kurara using the simplest method: a physical rescue!

I'll get lost, won't I? I'll just go negotiate with the king!

She went up, and Kurala rushed over to save her mother.

The housekeeper and Kurara slipped into the side hall and quickly found the queen, who was tucked into a corner, and hurriedly untied her.

"Pah! Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!" The handkerchief in the queen's mouth was snatched away, and she immediately spat several times. "Kurara, is this the person you've chosen?"

"I'm sorry, Mother, I apologize on her behalf." Kurala quickly apologized and helped Queen Percy rub her wrists, noting the marks left by the leather straps used to bind her.

"How dare you tie up your mother-in-law and stuff a handkerchief in her mouth? Is there any son-in-law in the world as audacious as this?" Queen Percy was very unhappy.

I haven't been treated like this by outsiders in so many years! Except for being treated by the king... cough cough...
