Chapter 1776

Author: Marina Vittori
The phrase "public execution" struck Ambrose like a lightning bolt, leaving him frozen in his tracks. At that moment, the severity of the situation fully sank in.

For ordinary offenses, it was either a pay cut or the worst would be a demotion. But, it had escalated to the point of facing execution.

What on earth was happening? How could a governor, in his right mind, order a beheading?

"Your Highness! This is a grave injustice!" Realizing he was about to be apprehended, Ambrose pleaded desperately and bowed repeatedly.

"Even if I failed in my duty as a governor, does that warrant losing my life?"

"Failing in your duty? Hmph! You're trivializing it," Rufus said with a stern expression.

"Your Highness! What crime have I committed that deserves such drastic punishment?" Ambrose questioned with a mournful face.

"Over the years, what unsavory deeds have you done? Haven't you kept count?" Rufus interrogated.

"I truly don't know. Please, Your Highness, enlighten me." Ambrose mainta

    "Lady Narcissa, everything's been taken care of," Ragnar reported.Narcissa nodded, her gaze sweeping across the blood-soaked estate. Her eyes held no compassion, only disgust."Burn it. Burn it all to the ground. I don't want a single stone left standing."The guards moved immediately, splashing gasoline that they had prepared throughout the estate. Once the torches dropped, flames roared to life, devouring the wooden structures, furniture, and the bodies of the innocent.Fire lit up the sky as thick smoke billowed upward. The Weston estate, once an impressive property, groaned and crackled as the inferno consumed it, reducing everything to ash."Let's go," Narcissa said. She took one last look at the burning scene before leading her guards away and disappearing into the night.Shortly after they left, a streak of blue light descended from the sky and landed in front of the blazing Weston estate. Octavius gazed at the carnage before him. He could sense the lingering traces of

    As night deepened, Blanche traveled with Snowy, but they didn't venture far from Oakvale. She found a secluded cave in a remote forest area to rest and recover from her injuries.Yesterday's battle with Narcissa had ended in her favor, but it had aggravated old wounds. She needed time to stabilize her condition.Snowy lay quietly beside her, licking her front paw. Its amber eyes occasionally glanced toward the cave entrance with watchful alertness.Blanche's thoughts were far from peaceful. She knew Narcissa's vindictive nature all too well. If Octavius hadn't suddenly appeared and vouched for Narcissa, she would never have let Narcissa leave so easily. He seemed impartial on the surface, but his attitude was ambiguous, as if he had hidden motives.And behind Narcissa stood the Jornells of Amethysius, a powerful force among the hidden cultivator families, known for their ruthless methods."The Weston family…" Blanche thought of those ordinary people trembling under Narcissa's

    The night wind swept over the Weston estate, carrying a biting chill mixed with the lingering stench of smoke and blood.Narcissa fled Oakvale in disgrace, cradling the severely injured and unconscious Kael as a handful of loyal guards escorted her out of the city. They sought temporary refuge in a hidden outpost deep within the remote mountains.The monastery there had been abandoned for years. Amid the crumbling walls and shattered pillars, a few side rooms were still mostly intact.Moonlight filtered through the broken window frames, casting over her twisted, pale face and sharpening its sinister angles."Mom… It hurts…" Kael murmured, still unconscious, his small body curling in pain.Narcissa carefully laid him on a broken bed covered with thick blankets and checked his injuries.Although Blanche's strike hadn't killed Kael outright, her icy spiritual energy had infiltrated his circulatory pathways, severely damaging his fragile core. Without immediate treatment, the damage

    "How arrogant!" Narcissa roared as her hands formed a series of hand seals.A purple lightning bolt shot from her palms straight toward Blanche.Seeing that, Blanche didn't dodge. She just raised her right hand, and a white barrier shimmered into existence. The lightning struck the shield with a thunderous crack but dissipated harmlessly."How is that possible?" Narcissa's face twisted in disbelief. "You're seriously wounded. How can you still fight like this?"Blanche didn't answer. In a blur of motion, she appeared right in front of Narcissa and struck out with her palm. The attack looked effortless, yet the palm wind contained tremendous spiritual energy.Narcissa didn't dare to take it head-on. She retreated hastily while her hands moved rapidly, sending out purple energy blades one after another.Blanche weaved through the barrage with ease. Each blade missed her by a breath. At the same time, she struck forward with another palm.This time, Narcissa couldn't dodge in time.

    "No—"Rachel's scream was cut short before Narcissa raised her hand and flicked her wrist. A flash of purple light sliced through the air, and Rachel's hands were severed cleanly at the wrists. As blood sprayed across the floor, she let out one agonized cry before losing consciousness.Muffled gasps and stifled sobs filled the hall, but no one dared cry aloud. They were terrified of being the next victim."Take her away." Narcissa waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing off a fly.Two trembling Weston family maids shuffled forward and dragged Rachel's limp body out, leaving a bright trail of blood behind"Anyone else want to challenge me?" Narcissa asked, her piercing gaze sweeping across the room.Everyone lowered their heads. Not a single person dared to meet her eyes.Kael still wasn't satisfied. He walked toward a young woman kneeling on the floor.She was Oswald's granddaughter, Marilyn Weston, a college freshman home for summer break to help with the family busines

    "The Moseys' situation is unclear right now. You need to be careful too," Natasha said, sounding concerned for once. "Losing a rival like you would make life pretty boring."Dahlia seemed to laugh on the other end. "Don't worry. I'm not going to die before you do."Natasha snorted before hanging up.Dustin couldn't help asking, "What did she say?" "She said Anders is behind it and warned me to watch out. Things at the Moseys have become dangerous," Natasha replied, putting her phone away. "She said there are unknown factions involved now, and even she can't do anything about it."Dustin frowned. "Anders… I remember him. He's an ambitious guy. But if even Dahlia finds these factions troublesome, they're no joke.""Yeah. She said it might be connected to those 'special figures' who showed up in Oakvale recently," she said, looking out the car window. "Could the people you encountered in the park before be…""It's possible," Dustin responded with a nod. "The methods those two used
