Izuru's body stiffened for a moment, and her pupils dilated, but after all, she was a king-level swordsman. Whether it was strength or speed, she was overwhelming to Albert and easily pushed Albert aside.

"What...what are you doing!"

Izuru blushed and distanced herself from Albert, the lingering warmth still clinging to her lips.

"It's just a kiss, it's not like it'll kill you."

Albert shrugged, feigning nonchalance, but turned his face away, not wanting Izzo to see his flushed cheeks.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it."

Having said that, Albert stood up and walked into the mansion.

……

The next day, the Notos family found Piemont's body on a brothel bed in the red-light district; his penis had burst open, and his death was gruesome.

Paul reappeared in the House of Nottos, and the retainers began to discuss whether to let one of Pylemont's sons succeed as head of the family or to let Paul Lai take over as head of the family.

Chapter 246: Winter is Coming

……

Ariel suffered from insomnia, but the naturally beautiful princess still had fair and tender skin, as smooth as milk jelly, and her figure, clad in a gorgeous gauze dress, remained slender.

The firewood crackled and popped in the fireplace, and as Ariel gazed at the dancing flames, her eyes grew increasingly dry.

"Luke, could you get me a glass of water?"

Ariel looked around and then remembered that Luke and Dirichlet were not with her.

Helpless, she could only fiddle with her hair for a moment, walk to the window, and look at the deep blue night sky. There was no one around to discuss a solution with.

This was only two months after Pirimon's death.

After Pyremon's death, the political scene in the capital was thrown into turmoil, and the Nothos family, a major force within the "Princess's Party," split into three factions:

First, there's Luke's older brother, Rob Notos Grellat's faction. Because they've been in charge of territory affairs for many years, they have a portion of the territory's power and are considered the real power faction within the Notos family.

Secondly, there is Luke Notos Grellat's faction, which has the help of the princess's influence and serves as a bridge between the Notos family and the royal family. More than the affairs of the Notos family, they want to make achievements in the kingdom's politics and belong to the radical faction of the Notos family.

Finally, there was the faction of Paul Notos Grellat. Although Paul himself was dragged into the political struggle, it was obvious who the mastermind was. Moreover, many of his former retainers had high expectations for Paul. They generally believed that Paul was more suitable to be the head of the family than Pillemont, thus becoming the conservative faction of the Notos family.

The Notos family is in disarray, and even the nobles who support the "Princess Party" can't stand firm when they speak. For example, Dirich Reitbart, the head of the Palace Guard's magicians, has been impeached thirteen times in the past two months, and each time the reason for the impeachment is different.

Even though Ariel had already mobilized public opinion, starting with speculation about Pelemon's death and creating the narrative that the Boreas family was the murderer in order to counterattack, she still couldn't stop the downward trend.

Most of the nobles who supported Ariel, both inside and outside the capital, were also marginalized.

"Life is getting harder and harder."

Ariel opened the window, and a biting wind howled in, assaulting her round, beautiful face. Soon, her high, delicate nose turned slightly red from the cold, and her fair skin beneath her thin gauze dress trembled in the wind.

Ariel had no intention of closing the window; only in this way could she keep herself calm.

……

On the other side of the Silver Palace, Gravel was not having an easy time either.

Although he has essentially secured his position as the heir to the throne,

But with Plemon dead, Gravel was acutely aware of a ticking time bomb within his ranks—Prime Minister Darius.

If the Notos family, as the main force of the "Princess Party" while Plemon was alive, could still exert external pressure on the "Prince Party" to maintain internal unity, then with Plemon's death, the internal power struggles within the "Prince Party" began to surface.

Gravel put down the letter in his hand, picked up the glass full of wine, and gently swirled it.

The letter contained information about the proposed relocation of officials in the capital. As expected, the Notos family, the main supporters of the "Queen's Party," was no longer able to support the party's power due to Plemon's sudden death.

Most of the "Princess Party" nobles, including Dirich Reitbart, who served as the head of the Magicians' Guild of the Royal Guard, will be transferred away from the center of power.

However, one name on the list stands out unexpectedly – ​​Carter Jerosnek.

Carter Yerosnek was promoted from a lower-level finance minister to a higher-level finance minister.

Gravel stroked his chin, pondering who could possibly have such power to promote a family that was universally despised and hated like rats in the street. He figured that besides His Majesty the King, only Darius could do it.

“But if Darius wanted to promote officials, there would be no need to bypass me. Could it be my father…”

After thinking it over, Gravel tore the letter into pieces and threw them into the fireplace.

……

"Isn't Alice going to the guard post today?"

Rudius came out of his room and happened to bump into Alice in the living room.

Alice sat on the ground, skillfully wiping the sword in front of her with a cloth. She wore a thin vest, and the muscles hidden under her skin outlined a healthy and beautiful body line. Her thick, red hair fell over her back like the mane of a lion.

Upon hearing Rudius's voice, she looked up, her fiery almond-shaped eyes conveying her joy.

"Ah, I...I..."

Alice was so excited that she didn't know how to organize her thoughts and stammered, "I, I'm off today, together..."

"Shall we go to the Suijin-ryu Dojo together?"

Rudeus sat down next to Alice. He could roughly guess what Alice meant, but Alice was probably a little nervous and couldn't express it, because Rudeus hadn't visited the Water God School's dojo in the three months since he came to the capital.

This is Alice introducing her good friend Izuru to her fiancé, which seems to evoke a different feeling.

"Yes, I want to take Rudeus with me to the Water God Dojo."

Alice nodded firmly. "So Rudeus agreed?"

"Sure, I'm fine with this anyway... Ah? Alice, what's this...?"

Before Rudeus could react, Alice scooped him up in her arms and carried her fiancé on her shoulder in a very domineering manner.

In a daze, Rudeus was still thinking that he and Alice had already slept together, so why did he have to stammer and ask questions when Alice invited him to go out together?

"I almost forgot that Alice is quite clumsy in this regard. She simply knew my wishes and then just wanted to take me away in a straightforward and crude way. Of course, that's also what makes Alice so adorable."

"what……"

Rudius couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought about it. On the gentle shoulder of his fiancée, who was about the same height as him but several times stronger, he felt like a little child.

He turned to look at Alice, who was carrying him on his shoulder, and found that a blush had crept onto the face of this willful girl.

"Alice,"

Rudeus asked with a smile, "What are your plans, Alice, after returning from the dojo?"

"Go home for dinner."

Alice said casually, "What other plans could there be?"

"How about we eat out tonight, just the two of us? What do you think?"

Rudius turned back to look at Alice again, giving her a meaningful smile. "Then come back the next morning."

Chapter 247: Her Extraordinary Strength (Part 1)

……

Why come back the next morning?

Alice didn't seem to understand the meaning behind Rudeus's words, even though Rudeus had been very straightforward. If it were Sylphie, she would have understood immediately.

"because……"

Rudius blushed, a flicker of fear washing over him. Saying "I want to sleep with you" so bluntly to Alice could have two possible outcomes:

Without saying a word, he was brutally beaten by Alice and then passed out.

Second, without saying a word, he was taken back to the bedroom by Alice and ravaged, then passed out.

Rudius, having anticipated this outcome, remained silent.

"Because Alice will find out then."

"It's cold outside, Alice, you should put on your coat first."

Just as Rudius was about to leave the house, he remembered that Alice was only wearing a thin white vest. Although the papaya outline was very tempting, it was winter now, and people would freeze to death in Lanoa.

"Oh fine."

Alice was obedient enough to listen and didn't say much. She put Rudeus off her shoulder and went back to her bedroom.

When she came out again, Alice was wearing a heavy, deep red Royal Guard winter coat with a black fur collar around her neck, making her look both warm and dignified.

However, after she hung the sword at her waist, her eyes were fixed on Rudeus.

Rudius immediately understood Alice's idea and quickly ran two steps forward to create distance between himself and Alice.

"I've already enjoyed Alice's shoulder once, I'll save it for Sylphie next time."

"I do not!"

But Alice is not one to reason.

This domineering young lady demands favor and affection; there's no reason to refuse.

In the end, it was Alice who carried Rudeus on her shoulders and left the mansion.

Whether it was carrying Silphie in a princess carry before, or lifting Rudeus by the hand and shoulder this time, Alice seems to really enjoy this feeling.

Of course, it was quite another matter when Rudius was suddenly thrown into the carriage by Alice like a piece of luggage while he was enjoying the tender embrace of his strong fiancée.

"Huh? Alice, what are you doing?"

"No...no...this is in the carriage, Alice..."

"Uh-huh!"

……

An hour later, a carriage bearing a flag with the black lion emblem arrived at the main dojo of the Suijin-ryu school.

Alice put on her coat and got out of the car contentedly, while Rudius used a healing spell to heal his slightly swollen lips and his almost numb tongue before getting out himself.

Speaking became difficult at this point, so much so that Rudeus had to put in a lot of effort to cast his healing spell.

Fortunately, Alice did not abandon Rudeus, but instead entered the dojo side by side with him.

"drink!"

"Is that a sword-splitting stance?!"

"drink!!"

"I can't hear you! Speak louder!"

"drink!!!"

"I said I can't hear you, and that means I can't hear you!"

"drink!!!!"

"Great! Very energetic!!!"

Upon entering the dojo, Rudeus was immediately captivated by the rich atmosphere of the Suijin-ryu school: the clean oak floors, the neatly arranged wooden swords, the uniform dojo robes, the thick protective gear, the diligent and hardworking students, and the strict master—it was as if he had stepped back into the Showa era.

Upon seeing Alice and Rudeus, Izuru tucked the wooden sword in her hand into the sash tied in the middle of her gi, walked up to the two of them, and waved to signal the dojo students to continue practicing.

"Good afternoon, Alice, and Mr. Rudius."

Rudius sized up Izzo as she walked towards him.

The last time I met Izoruti was at her fifteenth birthday party. She was wearing a simple dress and I only gave her a brief greeting.

At the dojo, Izuru had her long black hair neatly tied into a straight ponytail at the back of her head, and her bangs were simple and light. Beneath her fair, delicate, and slightly mature face, a few beads of sweat dripped from her charming pointed chin.

A white protective gear was worn over the black taekwondo uniform, which didn't look dirty, but it didn't hide her tall and curvaceous figure.

"Rudius!"

Noticing Rudeus's rude gaze, Alice shouted angrily.

Although Izuru noticed it, she didn't make a big deal out of it, just smiled awkwardly, because she didn't have a good impression of Rudeus to begin with.
