The Princess of the rfolk Clan saw Serena in the crowd at a glance from the city tower. Her eyes lit up, "Lord Ashworth, Serena Sterling is here!"
"Really? Where?" Titus Ashworth looked down from the tower.
At this ti, Serena, standing below, raised her head. Her bright, cutting eyes pierced through the crowd, her gaze falling on Titus Ashworth and the Princess of the rfolk Clan.
After a brief eye contact, Serena turned and quickly left.
"Guards, co with quickly. Serena Sterling has walked into our trap, and this ti I must catch her!" The Princess of the rfolk Clan led her n and chased after her swiftly.
Seeing the Princess of the rfolk Clan give chase, Titus Ashworth didn’t fall behind. He was too wary of Serena. Only by eliminating her could he sleep peacefully at night.
Titus Ashworth, accompanied by his guards, also gave chase. When they reached the royal training ground, Titus Ashworth saw the Princess of the rfolk Clan in front.
"Princess of the rfolk Clan, where is Serena Sterling? Why isn’t she here?" Titus Ashworth asked.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan looked anxious and pointed ahead, "I just saw Serena Sterling disappear over there. Let’s hurry."
"Alright." Titus Ashworth followed the Princess of the rfolk Clan onward.
Suddenly, the Princess of the rfolk Clan paused and stopped.
Titus Ashworth was taken aback, "Princess of the rfolk Clan, why aren’t you moving?"
The Princess of the rfolk Clan raised her head, looked at Titus Ashworth, and slowly curved her lips into a smile.
This smile sent chills down Titus Ashworth’s spine. After all, Titus Ashworth and the Princess of the rfolk Clan had only reached a temporary collaboration, and in truth, they both had ulterior motives. Titus hadn’t forgotten that over the years, Consort Willow of the rfolk Clan had been secretly drugging him, gradually weakening his body.
The rfolk Clan wanted to control him.
So now, seeing the strange behavior of the Princess of the rfolk Clan, Titus Ashworth felt alarm bells ringing in his mind, "You... why are you smiling?"
The Princess of the rfolk Clan spoke quietly, "Serena needs to be chased, but I can’t let Lord Ashworth go either. If both Alani and Westria disappear, then our rfolk Clan will stand alone at the top!"
Titus Ashworth was chilled and instantly scolded in anger, "How dare you!"
At this mont, the Princess of the rfolk Clan moved her hand, and Titus only felt a cold flash in his vision. He wanted to react, but the Princess of the rfolk Clan was extrely fast. In a blink, a sharp blade was plunged deep into his chest.
Titus Ashworth groaned in pain, his face turned ashen, "Soone, quickly... soone..."
The guards behind him quickly rushed over.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan released the knife and turned to run.
"My Lord, what’s happened to you?"
"Don’t worry about . Go quickly and chase the Princess of the rfolk Clan. Kill on sight!" Titus Ashworth clutched his wound, gritting his teeth in hatred.
"Yes."
...
On the other side, the Princess of the rfolk Clan was chasing Serena, but soon she ca to a halt because Serena was already waiting for her up ahead.
Serena was still wearing that white cloak, having removed her hood. Her pure, black hair cascaded like silk over her shoulders, and a tiny white flower was tucked behind her ear. Without makeup, she appeared exceptionally pristine and unmatched. Now she stood calmly ahead, her bright eyes flickering with shards of light, overwhelming in their brilliance.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan’s heart skipped inexplicably; she clearly hadn’t expected Serena not to flee but to wait for her here.
"Serena Sterling, why aren’t you escaping?"
Serena looked at the Princess of the rfolk Clan, curling her red lips into a smile, "Why should I run? Now, the person who should run... is you, isn’t it?"
"What do you an?" The Princess of the rfolk Clan didn’t understand.
Serena smiled lightly without replying. She stepped back two steps and then waved her small hand mightily, "Quick, co here, the Princess of the rfolk Clan is here!"
The Princess of the rfolk Clan looked up to see Titus Ashworth’s guards turning in unison, "The Princess of the rfolk Clan is there. My Lord has ordered her capture, dead or alive!"
What?
The Princess of the rfolk Clan thought she must be hearing things. Why would Titus Ashworth, that old man, want to capture her? Wasn’t the plan to catch Serena?
"Serena Sterling, what have you done?"
Serena raised one of her exquisite, arched eyebrows, "Aren’t you aware of what you just did? You stabbed Titus Ashworth not long ago."
The Princess of the rfolk Clan’s pupils contracted. When had she stabbed Titus Ashworth? She hadn’t even seen Titus, just chased Serena the whole ti.
This isn’t good.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan realized she had been tricked, "Serena Sterling, it was you, wasn’t it? You disguised yourself as !"
Serena’s bright eyes glinted with a cold sharpness. She raised her hand to remove her white cloak and fastened her long hair up, "Princess of the rfolk Clan, today I’ve just co to collect a small interest. You have blood on your hands, and I will repay the enmity between Alani and the rfolk Clan soday!"
After speaking, Serena brushed her hand across her face, and her unmatched, pristine face quickly transford into a common one. Many guards rushed over, and Serena blended into the crowd, exclaiming in panic, "The Princess of the rfolk Clan is there, she’s over there!"
Serena’s figure quickly vanished into the crowd.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan watched helplessly as Serena escaped. Serena was skilled in disguise, posing as a maid and fleeing amidst the chaos.
"What are you doing? Why are you catching ? Where’s Titus Ashworth? Let Titus Ashworth see , we’ve been deceived!" The Princess of the rfolk Clan shouted.
At this mont, the wounded Titus Ashworth hurried over, looking sinisterly at the Princess of the rfolk Clan, "Princess of the rfolk Clan, you try running now. I want to see where you’ll run this ti?"
"..." The Princess of the rfolk Clan was speechless. It’s often said that one shouldn’t fear a god-like opponent, but a pig-like ally. She deeply understood the helplessness in these words now.
"Lord Ashworth, you were deceived. The one who stabbed you wasn’t , it was Serena Sterling. She used disguise to pose as , trying to sow discord between us. You mustn’t fall for it!" The Princess of the rfolk Clan explained.
Titus Ashworth waved a large hand, obstinately indicating he wouldn’t listen, "Princess of the rfolk Clan, you want to deceive , do you think I’m that stupid?"
The Princess of the rfolk Clan, "..." The moronic Titus Ashworth is unworthy of any conspiracy!
"My Lord!" At this point, a guard rushed over and reported, "My Lord, sothing terrible has happened. A fire suddenly broke out in front of the Xuanwu Gate. Because many onlookers were startled, the crowd scattered chaotically. Amid the chaos, Granny Alani and Madam Fourth disappeared."
"What?" Titus Ashworth was furious.
The Princess of the rfolk Clan’s face changed. She realized this was part of Serena’s elaborate sche.
Today, Serena boldly ventured into the Xuanwu Gate alone, burn her boats, and played them both—the rfolk Clan and Titus Ashworth—like pawns.
With one clever move, Serena not only sowed discord and dismantled their alliance but also took away Granny Alani and Madam Fourth.
