1081

The dark night is an excellent breeding ground for sinister deeds.

In an inconspicuous residence in the Imperial City, two individuals are having a conversation.

"You didn't get the blood?" A man dressed in a black garment, emblazoned with red runes, asked.

His voice is raspy, echoing a scream from hell.

"No, I was kicked away before I could get close to her!" Another man in black replied, quite frustrated.

Obtaining the blood of the Princess Rui from Minze Country is easier said than done! She is a formidable martial artist constantly guarded by elite warriors. They can't act rashly, as it would alert her. Using brains over brawn seemed to be the only way, but it was not an easy feat!

He had racked his brains just to come up with this plan!

"Seek help from the Crown Princess! Otherwise, how much longer do we have to wait before we can exact revenge for the crown prince and reclaim Nangong Country?!" The hoarse voice rang out again, this time expressing suppressed impatience.
