Although this aura was extremely faint, it was as conspicuous to Roya as a firefly in the night.

"Is it there?"

Roya's lips curled into a slightly amused smile as he walked towards Lana's room.

The night was as dark as thick ink, and the bright moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

Lana lay on her back on the bed, her eyes closed in thought, her fingers playing with the strands of hair by her ear.

It was obvious that she hadn't rested; after experiencing so much in one go, how could she possibly sleep?

It's likely that many people won't be able to sleep soundly that night.

However, compared to those people, Lana had far more concerns in her heart.

According to her original plan, this time when the capital was in turmoil, that person would take action and directly seize the capital, and everything would fall into place. She could also use this opportunity to show her loyalty.

However.

"How could that guy be here? How could such a powerful person exist in this run-down place?"

Lana still can't believe that the great man was defeated so easily.

Even from the capital, she could clearly feel the light piercing the night.

"Did we fail? It seems we failed. Those adults must be in trouble and can't care about this anymore. But what should we do next? The Blue Rose and the others have also become suspicious of me."

The thought of the blue rose made Lana click her tongue in disbelief, and she felt utterly bored.

Although those guys didn't say anything on the surface, Lana was the kind of person who could easily guess the outcome from dealing with a group of adventurers who couldn't hide their feelings. She was able to glean a lot of information from their words.

However, it was precisely this information that put Lana in a disadvantageous situation.

After all, this information was provided by Lana, so if there were any problems, she, as the client, would certainly be held responsible.

"This is troublesome, ugh, this is really troublesome."

Lana tossed and turned, feeling somewhat agitated. The girl sat up in bed, lowered her eyes, and reached for the photo frame on the table.

The frame contains a photograph of a person.

That's a photo of Clem.

In the dimly lit room, Lana held the photograph, lost in thought.

The boy in the photo looks somewhat shy. Although he is still wearing that silver-white armor, it is not hard to see that he feels very awkward about his current behavior.

As Lana watched, the chaotic thoughts in her mind calmed down, and a different kind of emotion gradually rose in her heart.

That was the emotion called possession, that was the emotion called desire.

"It's really delicious. What a pity. I should have eaten you this time, but it seems I'll have to postpone it for a while longer."

Lana's lips curled into a cruel smile, and her emerald eyes turned icy cold.

If the knight who followed her around day and night saw this expression, what would he think?

However, Lana's expression didn't last long; her smile quickly froze.

There was another person in this pitch-black room.

And there was someone, standing silently in the corner, watching her intently.

Her smile gradually faded, the exaggerated curve returning to calm. She turned around and saw the young man standing silently to the side. Lana looked away from the photo and silently watched Roya, who also silently watched her.

The room was extremely dark, with only a few slivers of light shining through, allowing Lana to barely make out the outline of the person opposite her.

The other person was very tall and male. Apart from that, the only other thing that stood out was his pair of pale golden pupils, which were exceptionally noticeable.

The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

After a moment of silence, Lana spoke up: "Sir, it is not a gentleman's thing to break into a girl's room in the middle of the night, especially for a princess."

Luo Ya walked unhurriedly to the table in the center of the room, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The sound of pulling out the bench was loud, and Roya made no attempt to hide it, acting as if he considered this place his own home.

Seeing Roya's actions, Lana felt a slight chill, but she calmly asked, "Did you take care of the guards outside the door?"

"No." This time, Roya answered decisively, his voice echoing in the quiet room, so clear in the still night.

"Oh, is that so? It seems you used some tricks, didn't you? So, may I ask what brings you here so late at night?" Lana's eyes flickered as she began to consider her options.

"Nothing much, but I did come here to see you."

Lana narrowed her eyes. The other person spoke so casually, which made her feel uneasy. A bad feeling gradually took over.

"Is that so? You came to see me in the middle of the night, are you planning to do something bad?" Lana's tone was provocative, with a seductive charm.

She tugged at her collar, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin beneath her clothes. The girl was sitting on the bed, her petite figure exuding an alluring charm with just a touch of seduction.

She deliberately changed the subject, trying to lighten the mood. The person in front of her must be someone of great importance to be able to move freely in the palace.

However, Roya just smiled at this, and the young man continued, following the girl's words: "Bad things? You're right to say that. Some things that are not very friendly to you will indeed happen next."

Roya stood up from the chair and walked calmly toward Lana's bed.

The girl's expression remained unchanged. She sat on the soft bed, her emerald green eyes fixed on Luo Ya. She smiled sweetly, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to kill the person in front of her.

When Roya came up to Lana, Lana finally got a clear look at the young man's appearance.

He is a very handsome young man.

This was her first impression. She had never seen such a handsome young man before. His long golden hair, his pale golden eyes, and his overall demeanor made her heart flutter.

This was a young man who resembled royalty more than any other member of the royal family. Yet, Lana had no recollection of this young man.

That's natural. Strictly speaking, it was only the first time Roya and Lana had met, so how could she possibly remember them?

Before she could think further, Luo Ya had already reached out his right hand and touched the girl's cheek.

The slender fingers, like a piece of warm jade, brushed across her face, and this inexplicable contact sent a shiver down Lana's spine.

This gentle gesture made her feel a long-lost shyness. She suppressed the shyness in her heart and said in a joking tone, "Oh? Sir, do you really want to do something? But if it's you, it's not impossible. However, please keep it a secret. I don't want my knight to know."

For some reason, Lana herself found it somewhat unbelievable when she said those words.

Roya's lips curled into a playful smile.

“Of course, how could we let Clem know about this? He would definitely be heartbroken if he knew.”

Roya placed his right hand on Lana's head and began to stroke it.

Only at this moment could Lana finally feel relieved.

'I see. As long as they're not here to take my life, everything's fine.'

This was Lana's thought at the moment. To be honest, when she first saw Roya, she had the illusion that she could see right through him, but now it seemed that the person in front of her was just a lecherous man who came to seek pleasure.

She thought this to herself, but the unease clung to her like a shadow, making her feel suffocated.

A thought flashed through me.

'What if, what if the boy in front of her really intended to kill her? How should she react?'

As the thought crossed her mind, her gaze sharpened, and her right hand slowly retracted. A weapon lay beside the bed; no one would expect a princess to have a weapon next to her bed.

However, someone moved even faster than Lana. Before Lana could even grab the weapon, Roya suddenly exerted force with his right hand and brought his palm down.

Lana was already on guard, but at such close range, even with precautions, there was nothing she could do. The difference in their strength was so great, how could she possibly be a match for Roya!

An immortal touched my head, and with one palm shattered my spirit.

In an instant, Lana lost her life. The girl stared at Roya with wide, shocked eyes.

Her last thought was that she had died so simply here.

So easily, so simply, without any warning, he died here.

Looking at Lana, who was gradually losing warmth on the bed, Roya waved his hand, and Lana's body began to rot rapidly.

This was Roya's way of accelerating Lana's body's decay, naturally to prevent anyone from using resurrection magic to bring her back to life.

The commotion here did not disturb anyone outside, for a simple reason: Roya had cast a barrier around them.

The barrier can block out the surrounding noise. Not to mention people outside, even people standing at the door may not be able to hear any noise inside the room.

Roya took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, took one last look at Lana before leaving.

In this way, the matter in the capital should be considered to be mostly resolved.

Of course, there are also nobles in the capital who are even worse than Lana. Roja chose to let Ainz take over and deal with those guys in the future.

This kingdom was rotten to the core, and Roya felt no burden whatsoever in purging such a group of people.

--------------------------------

Roya originally intended to return to his apartment, but his expression soon turned strange because he saw someone at the door of his apartment.

With twin ponytails, black and white eyes, and one black and one white braid, the girl was squatting on the ground, looking around at the street as if waiting for someone. Beside her right hand was a huge scythe.

If this isn't a matter of absolute death, then who else could it be?

"What's this guy doing here?"

Luo Ya was puzzled, but soon he suddenly understood.

Luo Ya saw a person lying not far away, who was none other than his newly recruited disciple.
