Chapter 759: Another Murder Case

What would the Golden Princess's room look like?

Perhaps everyone who attended last night's banquet would be curious - curious about the source of her beauty, curious about the daily life of such a beautiful person, curious if she also experiences the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, that area was the most important part of Iselma, and without an invitation, it was almost impossible to step into this mysterious garden, even for guests staying in the Tower of the Sun.

However, now all the guests have come to this area that should have been off-limits because something has happened to the room's owner.

The room had an atmosphere of grandeur and elegance befitting the historic Iselma family. It was neatly arranged inside and out, with furniture around the perimeter and a sliding bed in the center, even the jellyfish-shaped bedside lamp was crafted by a master.

The only surprising thing was that there was no mirror in the room. It's hard to imagine a woman's room without a mirror, but perhaps this had a special reason for the Gold and Silver twins.

However, this small abnormality didn't arouse anyone's curiosity, because everyone's attention was drawn to the center of the room.

It was a sight that made one's brain freeze.

Red, bright red.

Under the canopy, on the pure white sheets.

As vivid as a freshly picked red rose... petals!

Yes, petals.

Scattered petals.

The Golden Princess's body, full of infinite beauty, was scattered like rose petals.

Her eyes were tightly closed.

Her lips were tightly closed.

She wasn't breathing.

Below her neck - there was no lower body.

Her head was placed in the center of the soft sheets.

How cruel, yet how beautiful.

Life and death, the moment when beautiful things wither give an unprecedented impact, making one's heart bleed while unable to look away.

Reines and Gray, who had been invited to come, were shocked to see this scene.

The Golden Princess, the girl who had made a stunning appearance just ten hours ago, was dead, right in her room.

This news spread through the Iselma household with the speed of a hurricane. Guests who had stayed after last night's banquet rushed over upon hearing the news.

Maio Brishisan Clynelles, a pale young man from the Neutral faction's Department of Creation.

Islo Sebunan, a man with a strange hairstyle similar to the intricate braids popular among black people, but even more complex, like a delicate textile, is also from the Neutral faction.

Although they belonged to different factions from Iselma, these two men and their families were Iselma's most staunch allies. They had always been supporters of Iselma's ideals, their bloodlines crossing factional barriers, working together to create people of supreme beauty.

The so-called beauty wasn't just about appearance, but also other aspects like scent, clothing, etc. Maio and Islo were collaborators in these areas. Maio was responsible for providing drugs, while Ilo specialized in making dresses. The dresses worn by the Golden and Silver Princesses at last night's debut were made by Islo.

Arriving at about the same time as the two was a muscular man with a crew cut named Mick Grazilier, from the Department of Curses, also belonging to the Neutral faction.

Next came Touko, who wasn't wearing glasses and was coldly surveying the situation in the room, occasionally muttering, "So that's how it is." "Indeed, it's not simple."

Soon, the family head Byron and the Silver Princess Estella arrived upon hearing the news.

Seeing the corpse on the bed, Byron and the Silver Princess showed great distress.

Clang, the sound of a cane striking the stone floor.

A groan as if the world was ending, falling on the room's floor.

"How... could this... happen... Diadra..."

"...Sister."

Trembling voices, as if confirming the event as a tragedy.

In this blood-filled room, perhaps the most cruel thing was the arrival of these two people.

The cruelty wasn't just towards Byron and the Silver Princess, but also had elements targeting Reines because Byron had brought two more people with him - the twin maids Carina and Regina who served the Golden and Silver Princesses.

The testimony from Carina's mouth pushed Reines, no, the entire El-Melloi classroom to the brink of danger.

The Golden Princess had gone to see Waver yesterday, and they had met alone. Waver was the last person to see her.

Combined with the fact that Reines and Gray were the first to discover the body, instantly the El-Melloi classroom, led by Waver, became the prime suspects.

However, it wasn't over yet.

Carina then revealed the Golden Princess's plan to escape. Although Carina wasn't present during the Golden Princess's conversation with Waver, the fact that the Golden Princess could bring her to meet Waver showed her trust in Carina, and her deductions could essentially be equated to facts.

At this point, Reines had fully realized that this was a scheme, a conspiracy targeting the El-Melloi classroom. Although she and Waver had been cautious, they hadn't anticipated that the moment the Golden Princess came to visit, the conspiracy had silently unfolded.

The entire plot was intricately linked. Even if she hadn't come this morning, she still couldn't clear their suspicions, because all the other side needed was the fact that Waver was the last person to see the Golden Princess. Whatever was said afterward would be useless.

Indeed, it was as Reines had guessed. Even if she admitted that Waver had met the Golden Princess and swore that no one from the El-Melloi classroom was the culprit, it would be of no use.

Because the El-Melloi classroom was outside of factional struggles, they had no allies and were naturally in an isolated position.

This sense of helplessness couldn't be eliminated even though Reines prided herself on her quick wit.

Gray, who was even less adept at handling such situations, gripped Add at her side, ready to fight her way out.

Just as the two girls found themselves in this dire situation, surrounded, a round of applause broke out.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap—"

Unhurried, neither enthusiastic nor perfunctory, along with the applause came a composed voice.

"Someone told me I would see a good show here. I thought the drama had ended last night, but I didn't expect the real show to be here."

Dressed in a proper men's suit produced by Armani, paired with a red tie, and black full-frame glasses on the bridge of his nose reflecting a calm and wise light, this was a man who could instantly remind one of a teacher.

Waver Velvet, the master of the El-Melloi classroom, the dean of the Department of Modern Magecraft, the first professor of the Clock Tower, the Lord without a crown.

The famous young duo, Flat Escardos, and Svin Glascheit, stood to his left and right respectively, while Shinji Matou, appearing under the name Levi Ackerman, guarded behind him.

Their presence couldn't be ignored by anyone, and their appearance swept away the panic and dejection in Reines and Gray's hearts.
