The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1335: Breaking The Divinity Law

"By the way... have you heard anything about Uncle Stevie?" Glory’s eyes narrowed in worry. She had been back for a few days, but she had yet to see Stephan because he had left Cestine Palace for over a month to find out how to cure Lucas.

Fred’s movements paused briefly before he continue and spoke calmly as normal, "No, he’s looking for clues on what happened to Luc and we rarely hear from him and it’s not easy to contact him but I left a cryptic message on his phone but he probably didn’t get it?" Fred shrugged nonchalantly afterward he finished his food then gently wiped his mouth with a napkin after which he said again "Don’t worry about him, it’s better for him to go out than be stuck here"

"And your mother how is she?" Lory knows about Fred’s mother Adrianne Leighton quite well but because of her work as an activist and reporter she rarely stays in the country for a long time.

"Don’t worry about her, she doesn’t have any Gift whatsoever but that woman is strangely always in luck in whatever situation, sometimes I wonder if that’s actually her Gift" Fred pursed his lips then continued "She’s still traveling around the world, doing what she loved, you know, annoying other people" the corner of his lips curved into a playful smirk.

"How old is she? Is that okay running around like that at her age?" Lory knew Adrianne had always been energetic but her normal constitution as non gifted people make her worry for her health and safety.

"He’s sixty-eight, don’t worry she’s as healthy as a horse, besides, I have someone watching her, after all, she has a habit of looking for trouble, like someone I know?" Fred looked at Lory meaningfully.

Lory narrowed her eyes, "Hey, I never look for trouble, trouble looks for me, you know?!"

"Uh-huh" Fred rolled his eyes then got up from the chair and picked up all the dirty dishes on the tray and took them out.

A minute later he came back hurriedly with a tablet and handed it to Lory, "There was a sighting of Bael at Mirror Creek south of Ember City, I don’t know if you still remember that place?"

"A Bael in in our territory?" Lory frowned.

"That’s worrying news, so I need your help to investigate the situation." Fred tucked his hands into his trousers even though he look calm from the outside but Lory could see that he was disturbed by the news.

Lory took the tablet while trying to remember the place Fred mentioned. "I remember Mirror creek was a famous fishing spot, right, it is also a swimming spot for family"

"Yeah, we accepted hunting requests near that place once, we cleared that place a long time ago but now a Bael who is supposed to be the mutant Caltabera appears there somehow," Fred explained.

"Lory grimaced in disgust. "I don’t like slimy creatures."

"I know, but we haven’t created a weapon to deal with Bael so we’ll leave it to your great weapon, the Trinity staff." He shows a willed little smile.

Lory raised her brows "So you want me to kill it?"

Fred pinched his chin then say: "Actually, I was thinking to capture the creature, instead"

"Captured it?" Lory squint her eyes.

"Captured it" Fred reaffirmed.

Lory peered at Fred’s sly expression. This guy just gave her extra work without a hint of guilt. But what else she could do? She rather hunting that do paper work, she had enough!

"Fine, when should I go?" Lory shrugged as she replied nonchalantly,

A bright smile spread across Fred’s face, "The sooner the better. Just so you know, Jay and Clift are waiting for you at the secret entrance."

"Looks like you already arranged everything, huh? Guessed I don’t need to do the paper work again, right" Lory said with glee.

How could Fred not know what Lory was thinking right now, hr knew this girl was trying to escape!

"Oh, how could that be, don’t worry, the paperwork can’t wait but unfortunately the wicked can’t, so after you’re done with that, I assure you will have time to finish all the work" his eyes sparkled as he spoke to Lory

"..." Lory was speechless.

Lory walked over to Lucas’ bed then stared at his peaceful sleeping face for a while then she leaned very close to Lucas’ ear and whispered, "Wake upp!"

She didn’t want to do the paperwork anymore but this devil refused to let her go, unless Lucas awaked she wouldn’t be free!

Lory wanted to cry but had no tears, she sighed then looked at Fredhardt, "Tell my husband when he finishes cultivating in his ring, I’m going out"

"As you wish, Your Highness," Fred bowed his head and opened the door for Lory politely, but somehow Lory felt like he was being thrown out of the room to go straight to work.

What a glamorous life, People say as a princess she doesn’t have to work a day in her life, On the contrary, Lory can’t remember a single day since she was twelve years old where she didn’t study, training and do covert mission. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Because of that Lory increasingly appreciates Zhao Li Xin’s efforts who insists on pampering her. Lory secretly promises to treat Zhao Li Xin even better.

Lory went back to her room to put on the armor Hadius gave her under her long black hooded coat. Lory then transformed into Luo Ri Yi and drank a Versipell potion to hide the shapeshifting spell before getting into the elevator and going to the basement floor she came from earlier.

When Lory arrived, Clift and Jay were talking to some Noxcra agents, at first Jay and Clift were surprised to see a stranger coming towards them but then they remembered that the same appearance Lory used when she infiltrated Aeon.

"Nice disguise" Jay complimented her.

The Noxcra agents present did not recognize Lory in her disguise, but they did not pry into the Archknight business, after they were done they excused themselves in order manner.

Clift sat behind the wheel and called out to Lory and Jay, "Get in, we have to be there before noon"

Lory sat in the back while Jay sat next to Clift, once everything was ready, the car sped out of the same secret tunnel in the city park.

On the way, Jay turned and handed her a cup of drink. "Here, some warm honey-lemon tea for you."

Lory accepted the drink happily. "Someone still remember my favorite drink?" She took a sip and her face lit up.

"I also prepared a box of macaroons in the back." Clift didn’t want to be outdone.

"Yeay, thank you guys." Lory grabbed the pretty pink box behind her and then happily opened the beautiful wrapping on the macaroon box that made Lory feel a bit sorry to ruin it.

But that feeling only arose for a moment, when she saw the colorful macaroons and the sweet smell that wafted to her nostrils.

Clift presses the touch screen to listen to the radio, but before he can enjoy the music, the song is suddenly interrupted by news about the Saintess visiting an orphanage in a rural area with the Paladins to deliver much-needed food and clothing to the children.

They continued to praise her kindness and generosity, and they also said that the Saintess should be an example to many people in the world, especially world leaders who seemed indifferent to the suffering of their people who were still affected by the aftermath of the Dark Ages.

"They really tried hard to make The saintess like an angel or something, huh?" Jay said in a disdainful tone.

"...What annoys me is how simple food and clothing are enough for them to put that woman in pedestal and forget the true sacrifices made by the Lucient family amd the others..." Clift said bitterly and changed the radio station to another music channel.

"Well, at least the kids are getting the help they need, regardless of their true intentions." Lory doesn’t really care about Saintess public stunts to gain public support, because it has nothing to do with her. The only problem Lory has is the goal of the organization the saintess serves.

Lory casually ate a macaron while looking out the window at the fast-moving cityscape then slowly the bustling cityscape turned quieter then the further they got away from the capital the more damaged and abandoned buildings were not far from the main road.

"How bad was the situation after the war?" Lory suddenly started talking.

Jay and Clift were silent for a second then Jay said in a low tone "It’s very bad, only a quarter of Verriond is habitable and more than half of Harland has turned into a barren landscape so we have to mobilize the Water and Earth Gift to repair the land then other gifted, the creators and ordinary people also stepped in to help each other and protect each other, it took two years for the situation to become somewhat normal..."

Lory couldn’t imagine the burden Lucas had to bear as the leader of a destroyed kingdom, rebuilding must not have been easy, especially after everything he had been through.

"However, we can say that our situation is much better than other countries because our kingdom is protected by the king’s shield that protects us from external attacks so we can focus on putting things in order within our kingdom without having to worry about someone or something infiltrating our country, moreover our citizens are more united than other countries’ citizens," Clift’s words greatly comforted Lory.

"I’m glad..." Lory answered softly.

"I think the loss of the king and you played a big role in the behavior of our people after the war. They were afraid of losing Lucas as the last descendant of Lucient, so they were less demanding and more patient in dealing with the difficult situation at that time so that our kingdom was much more harmonious and the people could rebuild their lives in peace." Jay’s voice warmed, at least the behavior of the Harland people at that time did not disappoint him.

Lory rested her head on her palms, then a proud smile appeared on her beautiful face, "Well, most of our people are kind, understanding, and resilient, so this outcome was to be expected"

"That’s why the Saintess’ popularity in Harland is still very low. Some people also showed dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Saintess’ subtle attempt to take over our princess’ position in society," Jay laughed with a sneer.

"Thankfully our people aren’t as stupid as some peoples out there," Clift expressed his pride in the Harlanders’ attitude.

"But that means they’ll have to keep finding ways to influence our people, or their plans for domination won’t work..." Lory predicted that the enemy would try to change the way people viewed her family.

"That’s right, actually they have been spreading bad rumors about the Lucient family, because Lucas has been absent from various international events lately and has refused all invitations from other kings and presidents, they said Lucas is arrogant because he once saved the world. They also dare to blame you for hiding your healing powe for so long when you could help so many people in need like that fake holy woman did!" Jay was almost chocking on his rage.

"Has it never crossed their minds how the health of a nation could depend on one person or one group? If we do that, you can imagine how strong the position of the royal family will be not only in their own country but also abroad, but King Marcus doesn’t want that. To ensure that everyone gets the same treatment, he created a health system that is accessible to everyone, therefore health care is free in Harland and is relatively cheap for people from abroad who want to get treatment in Harland, not to mention we have the most sophisticated health facilities in the world, so why should we exhausted our Princess’s power?" Clift thought all the people who were swayed by the enemy’s words were a bunch of idiots and they didn’t need to pay attention to them cause you will never win only tire yourself.

"Okay, calm down guys" Lory understood their anger but there was nothing she could do if some people thought that way about her. Depending on which side one looked at it, what the royal family did could be considered selfish but it was a choice her father made to protect her.

"Speaking of which, I always wondered what kind of power that holy woman had, she could grow limbs and heal someone like me without showing any mana drain? I mean, I wouldn’t be able to keep using my healing powers if I didn’t get a boost from the Mana potion from time to time" Lory mused.

"Ha, not only that, did you know that the Saintess can bring the dead back to life, now?" Clift break the news.

"WHAT!" Lory’s eyes bulged widely.

"Yeah, she revived dead people a few days ago in a live stream just browse your phone, the news is everywhere right now" Clift glanced at Lory from the rearview mirror.
