Seeing that Ron hadn't moved for a long time, Lawrence realized what was happening and quickly went forward to drag Ron out of the Eternal Illusion.
Ron snapped out of his daze and, seeing the soldiers surrounding him, realized what had just happened.
"Did I just fall into an eternal illusion?" he asked.
“Yes,” Lawrence replied.
"how so…"
Ron stared ahead, his face turning grim.
Lawrence's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.
Ron's expression clearly showed that he had noticed the problem, but he didn't seem to know how to solve it.
This made them feel very uneasy.
Ron is their last hope. If even Ron can't solve the problem, then the Kingdom of Orantia is completely doomed.
They watched Ron, hoping he could offer some reassurance.
"Stop advancing on Stargrid Fortress for now and await further instructions," Ron ordered after a moment's thought.
Without giving Lawrence and the others a chance to ask further questions, he rode away.
This left behind a group of soldiers filled with anxiety and unease.
They didn't hear the answer they wanted, nor did they know what the problem was.
His Majesty Ron, who has always been open and honest and has given them confidence, has now chosen to conceal the problem.
The unusual behavior makes it clear to anyone with a discerning eye that this problem is extremely difficult to resolve.
Lawrence had a vague idea about this.
Does the fact that the Eternal Illusion actively attacked them, and even attacked Ron, mean that the Kingdom of Lah has met the conditions for the Great Demon Lilith's retaliation?
But who exactly was it? And when did they provoke the demons?
Lawrence clenched his fist. If that were the case, then he had to suspect that there was a traitor in the Kingdom of Lach!
……
The day after Ron returned to Kassel, he spent the entire day in the dungeon.
No one is allowed to approach the dungeon.
This deliberate action has led outsiders to wonder: Could this be another scheme orchestrated by the Kingdom of Diam?
After all, the prince of the Kingdom of Diam was imprisoned in the dungeon.
Ron, who was pondering a solution, entered the dungeon at this critical juncture. They could think of no other possibility than interrogating Prince Diam.
In fact, Ron spent the whole day in the dungeon because Beatrice was unconscious.
In the morning, in order to shift the blame to the Kingdom of Diam, he went to the dungeon, intending to stay for half a day and go through the motions.
Beatrice fainted halfway through.
After checking her condition, it was found that she had fainted due to exhaustion caused by the renewal of royal blood in her body and insufficient rest, but there was nothing seriously wrong with her.
However, since she fainted, no one was left to collect the blood of the All-Powerful King.
There was no way to ask anyone else to do this, so Ron had to step in for the time being, and that went on until nightfall.
Just as Ron was getting a little sleepy, Beatrice, who was resting on the makeshift wooden bed next to him, finally stirred.
Suddenly, the shackles binding her neck emitted a dazzling white light, and her body turned a deep red, with the dense blood vessels inside her body pulsating.
At the same time, a large amount of magic surged towards her, lifting her body into the air.
Time passed little by little, and the light of the shackles of enslavement gradually changed from white to gray, then from gray to purple, and finally from purple back to white.
Her flushed body gradually returned to normal as the shackles of enslavement changed.
Before long, the magic that had gathered slowly dissipated, and Beatrice fell back onto the wooden bed.
Ron got up and walked closer to observe her changes.
First, the biggest change is the enslavement shackles around her neck, which have changed from cracked to purple patterns resembling tattoos, and the gray agate on her throat has also turned into purple agate.
This demonstrates how the shackles of enslavement have successfully repaired their flaws.
The shackles of enslavement she now bears are no longer derivatives of those of the Kingdom of Nieu, but rather shackles unique to her original royal bloodline.
The next change...
Name: Beatrice
Race: Human
Age: 19
[Level: LV.60]
[Affiliation: Kingdom of Lah (enslaving the royal family)]
[Growth Talents: Physical (B), Strength (B), Spirit (S), Speed (A), Vitality (A)]
It truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful 'blessing' shackle of enslavement.
The level increased directly from 56 to 60, the Spirit growth talent increased from A to S, the Strength growth talent increased from C to B, and the Speed and Life growth talents increased from B to A.
Horror!
Is this the power of an ancient bloodline? Ron was somewhat envious.
Royal blood is not inherently noble; rather, it is only after becoming royalty and receiving divine protection that their bloodline becomes noble.
Once someone becomes royalty, even those of ordinary blood will become noble, and the blessings of the gods will continuously strengthen the royal bloodline.
Therefore, the longer a country's royal bloodline has been passed down, the stronger its bloodline's growth potential will be.
Unfortunately, the royal bloodline of the Kingdom of Lah was only blessed by the gods for a short period of twenty years, otherwise he would at least have a B to use.
"Um…"
The girl lying on the wooden bed let out a groan, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her amber eyes slowly opened, and before the hazy mist had dissipated, they met Ron's probing gaze.
The girl paused for a moment, then realized something, raised her hand to touch her neck, and felt the smooth texture under her fingertips, unlike the pits that had appeared before.
"How are you feeling? Has your life essence been replenished?" Ron asked with a light laugh.
"Yes." Beatrice nodded. The death threat that had been lingering in her mind had disappeared. Her life force was now very abundant, enough to keep her alive for at least five years.
"What are your plans after this?" Ron asked. "To get revenge?"
Chapter 67 The Way to Break the Stalemate
Having repaired the flaws in the shackles of enslavement, Beatrice is no longer a war slave and no longer needs to replenish royal blood to survive.
If she was reluctant to leave before because she only had a few days left to live, would she choose to leave now that her lifespan has been extended?
"Please allow me, a lowly person, to stay by your side."
Beatrice knelt on one knee to express her wishes.
Looking at Beatrice kneeling at his feet, Ron's lips curled into a slight smile.
After the flaws in the shackles of enslavement were repaired, Beatrice was absolutely free because there was no victorious nation to bind her. As long as she did not voluntarily submit to anyone, no one could control her life or death.
In this situation, if Beatrice insisted on leaving, Ron wouldn't be able to stop her by force.
As a result, she chose to submit.
Ron was not surprised by Beatrice's submission.
When he saw that Beatrice's faction was still marked as the Kingdom of Lach, he knew that Beatrice would not leave.
Asking her about her future plans was just a polite formality.
He genuinely wanted her to go before, but now... I've already spent the money, so there's no way I can leave.
"Are you really sure?" Ron asked after a moment of silence.
“You should know very well what situation I’m in right now. Stay by my side,” Ron paused, then said in a deep voice, “It’s extremely dangerous!”
Beatrice raised her head, her clear, bright eyes reflecting a determined light.
Ron looked down at her, staring into her eyes.
Beatrice sensed a powerful pressure from his gaze, but her eyes remained resolute.
After a moment, Ron composed himself, chuckled softly, and said, "I like your eyes. Get up."
After the oppressive feeling disappeared, Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. Thinking Ron had agreed to her request, she was about to ask what she needed to do next.
But then Ron said, "However, I still can't let you stay by my side."
Beatrice was taken aback and looked at Ron with confusion.
“I am facing a very powerful enemy. With your strength, having you by my side will only increase the risk for both of us,” Ron said.
Upon hearing this, Beatrice lowered her head.
Level 60 is considered a strong player in Kassel.
But Ron's enemies are not at the level of Cassel.
As for the enemies Ron is currently facing, neither the Great Demon Lilith nor the Kingdom of Diam are enemies she can easily mess with.
“I can still grow,” Beatrice replied softly.
“Yes, your talent for growth is exceptional.” Ron nodded in approval.
He then turned away from Beatrice: "So, I'll have you do something else."
Beatrice raised her head upon hearing this.
"I'll tell you after I collect the Transformation King's blood tomorrow."
Ron left the mission open to speculation, and strode out of the interrogation room.
……
With nothing to do but wait under Ron's command, the Kassel soldiers endured a relatively agonizing day.
