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

Taking advantage of the somewhat chaotic state of the guards' patrol earlier, Lorenwei moved closer to the King's Council Hall.

But when she got near the Council Hall, Lorenwei clearly sensed magical fluctuations.

This is a protective magical fluctuation; it will detect and defend against spying, ranged magical attacks, and the like.

However, this did not stump Lorenwei.

She simply crouched in the shadows, quietly watching a group of maids carrying trays walk by, and then she quietly followed them inside.

The security isn't tight enough. Lorenwei finally understood why there were so many assassinations in the Middle Ages; it would be quite easy for one person to get what they wanted, wouldn't it?

As she passed through a guard post, a young male guard noticed her blushing, probably wondering when such a beautiful new maid had arrived in the palace.

However, unexpectedly, after Lorenwei followed the maids for a few steps, the guard caught up with her.

"Stop! Stop!" the guard suddenly shouted.

The maids in front turned around in surprise.

"You guys go ahead, you called me." Lorenwei stopped and responded calmly.

Hearing her say that, the maid in front left first.

After walking for a while, the maids asked each other in surprise, "Hey, who was that maid just now?"

"Is it from our group?"

"She's so beautiful..."

"I don't know him either."

"It's a pity the team leader isn't here."

"Oh, I really want to introduce him to my younger brother..."

On Lorenwei's side, she was already prepared to knock out the guards in order to escape.

But what flaw did he discover? Lorenwei felt that her behavior was very much like that of a maid, and there was nothing wrong with her clothes.

Having honed her skills at the resort hotel, Lorenwei felt her walking posture and the composed, ladylike demeanor had reached a level that was, if not perfect, at least partially mastered. What was it about her disguise as a maid that made her seem off?

However, she herself didn't realize that the problem wasn't that she revealed a flaw and was discovered, but rather that her looks were too stunning...

Sure enough, the guard who caught up scratched the back of his head, his face flushed, and after stammering for a while, he finally asked, "Um... excuse me for stopping you, could I... could I ask your name?"

"...You called me to stop just because of this?" Lorenwei's eyes twitched. "And what did you mean by 'stop'? Do you take me for a robber or a thief?"

The guards behind them laughed and watched the spectacle.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I... I didn't greet the girl either, I'm so clumsy..." the young guard stammered even more.

Not wanting to get entangled with him any longer, as it would be easy to expose her flaws if she stayed too long, Lorenwei smiled and replied, "Himemiya Chihaya, my name is Himemiya Chihaya."

After saying this, Lorenwei tossed her long hair and drifted away.

The young guard stared blankly at her retreating figure, unable to recover for a long time.

Lorenwei had no desire to get involved with men, so she casually gave him the name of a female protagonist from a visual novel.

Uh, should I say the male lead? What a joke...

However, Lorenwei is the kind of person who thrives on chaos.

As she left, she squinted at the guard, giving him a meaningful look, and even seemed to glance back at him as she chased after the maids.

A single glance back reveals a thousand captivating charms.

As a result, the guard was completely dumbfounded.

The words my senior once told me seemed to echo in my mind again: "Maybe one day, you will suddenly meet the right girl, and your heart will flutter, and you will know that she is the one!"

Under the moonlight, the beautiful figure of the blue-haired girl as she left, graceful and elegant, was etched into his mind like a beautiful painting.

Such a beautiful girl must be an angel sent to earth by the gods. I am not worthy to associate with her... The young guard thought to himself, feeling ashamed of his own appearance.

But that fleeting glance back seemed to leave him with a glimmer of hope.

She seemed to be paying special attention to me. Otherwise, why would she turn back to look again? Could it be...?

He didn't realize what was happening until his companions came up and patted him.

Oh dear, I forgot to tell her my name! The young guard suddenly realized he had made a big mistake.

I wonder if this guard will be able to sleep tonight. Or perhaps, how many more sleepless nights will he have to endure from now on?

Thanks to the maid's attire and demeanor, Lorenwei, who had just been a femme fatale, successfully passed the first hurdle.

The guards became increasingly tighter during their patrols, and she felt she couldn't take the risk in this way anymore, so she decided to use her magical control and agility to her advantage.

"Hmph, I didn't expect my infiltration skills to be so good." Lorenwei was a little smug.

She quietly concealed herself, bypassing several magical protective barriers, and sneaked into the area of ​​the secondary hall complex of the Council Hall.

Even if it were the Aisser couple, they wouldn't have been able to get in so easily.

If they were to force their way in, Aisser and Jason could certainly do it. But for someone like Lorenwei to sneak in like this is far too difficult.

She figured that magic barriers couldn't fool her, so she slipped through as a maid. With her exceptional elemental control, she could easily breach magic barriers by stealthily infiltrating, employing every possible method.

However, this is, after all, the king's office, and the security seems...

“That’s strange…” Lorenwei gradually noticed the problem.

Over a decade ago, as a brave warrior, she had ventured into the inner palaces of various royal residences on numerous occasions, but never with such ease. After all, she was no longer at her peak. Although her control over magical elements had been enhanced, and the Grand Duke's palace couldn't compare to the Imperial Royal Palace, its defenses seemed somewhat weak today.

Finally, at a magical defense facility, Lorenwei discovered something amiss.

"Someone tampered with this place beforehand!" This was something Lorenwei discovered after careful observation, even after she had her suspicions.

Shortly before I arrived, someone had blocked the magic defenses here! What happened? Could it be that besides the Shadow Guardian from before, someone else had infiltrated?

Lorenwei had a bad feeling.

Even if he wanted to have a physical negotiation with the old king now, he had no intention of actually harming him. After all, from Kurara's perspective, he was practically her father-in-law, right?

Therefore, the negotiation was largely based on intimidation, simply to make the old king realize that as the son of a legendary hero, he was fully capable of making the Grand Duchy of Percy take him seriously, so as not to be forced to say something like "Don't underestimate a poor young man."

After having the idea that someone had tampered with the place, Lorenwei made more and more discoveries. Indeed, someone had infiltrated the area not long ago.

Good heavens, what's going on in the Grand Duchy of Posey? These infiltrators keep coming one after another. Is my wife, Kula, even safe with her family? Lorenwei made up her mind that she had to bring them back as soon as possible! She quickened her infiltration pace.

As Lorenwei sped up, King Percy did indeed encounter a problem.

The rear office of the Council Hall.

"Send this decision down immediately. And the prince of the Fite Empire will arrive tomorrow? But why haven't I received a reply about many of the preparations? It seems that only the street decorations are finished, but what about Kurara? Why hasn't she returned yet?" The old king was somewhat annoyed.

The officials were busy running around, while four guards stood quietly behind him.

The clock struck midnight.

“Your Majesty, you should rest,” a guard reminded him.

"Alas, there are still many things to do." The old king slowly put down the report in his hand.

The Grand Duchy of Percy faces few internal troubles, but serious external threats. The Fite Empire is eyeing it covetously, and even if the Grand Duchy of Percy submits, it could be completely annexed at any time. Hopefully, the Second Prince can bring new hope for peace.

As for the Black Robe, he actually wants my cooperation? With such a mysterious organization? Ridiculous! I know that the Black Robe has secret dealings with the high-ranking officials of the Fate Empire, and is even entangled with the Demon Clan!

Considering the black-robed man's secretive actions and his tendency to collect girls with high elemental affinity, it seems to be related to rumors of the Demon King's resurgence, according to intelligence.

Even if the Grand Duchy of Percy perishes, it must never betray the human race! The old king stood up with his hands behind his back.

The black-robed figure even attempted to kidnap Kurara! Cooperation with such a figure is intolerable! Thinking of this, the old king slammed his fist on the table.

He turned and walked towards the palace gate, just as he was about to return to the palace to rest.

"Wait!" One of the bodyguards suddenly stepped behind the king, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and stared at the other three guards, saying in a deep voice, "Why do all of you have such a heavy left foot?!"

The guard who spoke up was the king's chief bodyguard, and it just so happened that he was on duty accompanying the king today.

Having already reached the Sword Master level this year, he was shocked to discover that three of his subordinates had problems with their footwork.

They were very familiar with each other in the past, but just now, after remaining still for a long time, he noticed something was wrong the moment they suddenly took a step: all three of them were walking slowly with their left feet, as if their left feet were numb.

When questioned, the three guards remained silent.

"Assassins!" The captain of the guards immediately drew his sword and shouted a warning.

"The sound can't travel anymore, hehehehehe!" A short dwarf, barely two feet tall, emerged from the shadows with a strange laugh, manipulating a wooden board used to control the puppets. "You will all become my puppets, just like these three bodyguards, whether it's you, the head guard, or His Majesty King Percy..."

Chapter 175 I love playing role-playing games; Lorenwei: I'm just a tea server...

"Let's be careful not to get discovered by her." Queen Percy, accompanied by Kurara, quietly followed Lorenwei.

Kurara looked in the direction Lorenve had gone and guessed that it was most likely the Council Hall: "Could she be going to find Father?"

The Queen nodded: "I told him you were imprisoned. If she couldn't find you, or didn't want to break you out of prison, the most direct and simplest way would be to find your father. That warning just now was her trying to find out where your father was, right? I didn't expect she would actually catch an assassin in black robes."

“That guy has some rotten luck.” Kurara thought for a moment: “At this time, Father should be in the Council Hall, but it’s almost time for him to rest.”

Queen Percy and Khurara both knew about the old king's work habits.

"Lorenve, how dare you go directly to my father?..." Kurara said with displeasure, but felt a sweetness in her heart.

Seeing your beloved go to great lengths for you, even traveling a long distance to rescue you from your supposed imprisonment, is a kind of happiness in itself.

The housekeeper was not accompanying them; the Queen considered that with her abilities, it would be difficult for her to remain undetected by Lorenve. Even Kurara was struggling and could only follow from a considerable distance.

Even this mother and daughter could be unintentionally shaken off by Lorenwei if they weren't careful.

After all, Lorenvi sometimes uses stealth. The mother and daughter would feel that Lorenvi was like a mouse, scurrying around and then suddenly disappearing without a trace.

Fortunately, Queen Percy knew that Lorenve's target was the King. Knowing the King's location would give her a better direction and make it easier to find Lorenve.

"She...she actually disguised herself as a maid..." Kurara saw it and pointed at it with annoyance.

The mother and daughter saw that Lorenve had somehow appeared in the line of maids and was heading towards the steps of the council hall guarded by guards.

How so? Is this the guy who might be a boy in two years? Kurara lamented, did she really pick someone like this? Even dressed as a maid, he looks so convincing. If it weren't for his outstanding appearance, she and her mother would probably have overlooked him.

"She can even disguise herself? And she does it so convincingly?" Queen Percy was also surprised.

Not wanting to leave a bad impression on her mother, as this was essentially a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law, Kurala quickly explained, "It's just that when we were doing a mission as a team, we learned some skills as maids at a resort hotel. I must say, we were pretty good at it."

"Yes, she's dressed so well! If we hadn't been paying attention, we really wouldn't have been able to tell. Oh my, this is so much fun!" Her Majesty the Queen actually greatly admired Lorenve's disguise skills.
