“From now on, everyone will be hunting the spies.”
The new Law was enacted, a new Division was created, the spies who had barely survived after the first wave of clean-up were all tensed.
The new Law was simply a nightmare for them since everyone was out there trying to hunt spies since the rewards were so tempting.
Of course, it was taken care that the law wasn’t misused, every person was only allowed to have 5 failed guesses, and even those guesses should have a valid reason behind them.
10 more spies were caught using this method, and when people saw how the one who filed the suspicion was actually rewarded, they were even more motivated to catch spies and started paying more attention to their surroundings.
At the same time, Princess Evane’s reputation took a huge boost, both amongst the innocents and the guilty.
For the innocents, Princess Evane was like an angel of justice, who was sent by the heavens to reform the entirety of the Royal Palace, and for the guilty, Princess Evane was a cruel demon who is hunting them down from the depth of hell.
Was the combined reaction positive or negative?
Well, it was positive for now, however, the more perceptive people could see a small wave that rising silently but at an alarming rate.
In the end, the Royal Palace was not a place filled with saints, quite the opposite actually, the Royal Palace was filled with the most corrupt of the people one could ever find.
Princess Evane was only going after Spies right now, however, who could guarantee that she won’t go after others in the future?
The corrupt officials had already started spreading rumors about how Princess Evane was not suitable to become the Queen, how she is getting rid of people she does not like by calling them spies and forging fake proof, how Princess Evane plans to change the entirety of the staff of the Royal Palace to replace them with her own people to take full control over everything, and more and more.
Of course, these officials worked in shadow, and tracing who started the rumors was difficult, however, rumors like these spread fast, and Evane’s reputation, which was rising at a significant rate was also being negatively affected by this.
What did Princess Evane do about it?
Well, it was easy.
Tracing those officials may be difficult, however, with someone like Amaya and the absurd abilities of Nux, it wasn’t that hard.
Then what? A series of silent assassinations.
A Royal Statement was then declared,
‘Loyal and Honest Officials lost their lives, this could only mean that the spies are getting restless from our operations and are acting recklessly, we will not let the sacrifices of these honest Officials be in vain,
We will continue our operation.
The rewards of successfully suspecting a Spy and reporting it to the Spy Division are now increased, we promise to catch these assassins soon.’
With this little trick, everything was solved, with no one fueling the rumors, they soon died down, and Princess Evane’s reputation continued to grow.
Just like that, 3 days passed by.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
In the morning, someone knocked on Princess Evane’s room, Nux opened the door,
“Sir Nux,”
The Servant greeted, Nux nodded, an envelope then appeared in the Servant’s hand and he passed it to Nux,
“I was ordered to deliver this to you.”
Nux accepted the envelope and nodded. The servant walked away, Nux closed the door and opened the envelope.
‘In the afternoon, 3 pm, Main Training Hall.’
Yes, that was it.
That was the letter.
Seeing this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on Nux’s face as he shook his head,
‘That is so like her.’
“What happened?”
Evane walked towards Nux and questioned.
“Well, it seems that she is done with her preparations, 3 pm.”
“Heh, a wonder how she is going to test you.”
Thyra chuckled.
“Well, since it is about fighting a war, I believe it would be a 1vmany battle,” Ember spoke with a confident look on her face.
Out of all of them, she was the one who knew about war the most, if she wanted to test if someone is suitable for war or not, 1vmany battles would definitely be on her test list.
“I agree, it would be 1vmany.” Amaya nodded.
“It is not like it is going to be hard for Nux.” Skyla smiled brightly.
“Tsk, he would just use this opportunity to try and impress her.”
Felberta snorted.
“Ahh, my love knows me so we-”
Nux wanted to reply, however, before he could complete his sentence,
“Hmph!”
Felberta snorted.
Nux turned towards the other, and as if they had planned it before, they all snorted as well.
Nux sighed,
He would need a lot of time to deal with this…
Well, without waiting any further, he walked towards his women and… continued with his thing.
…
Time passed, it was now 2:50 in the afternoon, Nux and his women walked out of their room with bright smiles on their faces, and within a few minutes, they arrived in the Main Training hall.
“Now isn’t this a party~”
Nux commented with a playful smile on his face.
In front of him stood Astaria, behind her stood General Phorus, Royal Consort Iria, and a few others.
“Are you prepared, boy?”
Astaria questioned with a smile on her face.
“Of course I am.” Nux smiled back.
Hearing his answer, frowns appeared on Iria and Phorus’s faces.
‘How can this man talk to Lady Astaria so disrespectfully? Insolent!’
Astaria, however, didn’t seem to mind, she just smile and pointed in a certain direction,
“You see those Camps there?”
“Mhm.”
“That’s where your enemies are.”
“Got it.”
“You will attack their camp.”
“Ahh, so is this a sort of flag game, where I have to grab a flag or something?”
“Huh? There are no flags or anything like that, you just need to attack their camp and,
Come back alive.”
“Hmm, well that seems simple, so I just need to walk into their camp and defeat them, right?”
“Don’t you want to know who your enemies are?” Astaria questioned.
“I already know about it,
I am quite excited to fight them, actually.”
Nux replied.
Hearing his answer, Astaria’s smile widened and she replied,
“All the best then,
I hope you do not underestimate the Shadow Unit.”
