Lauren, no matter how naive she had been, understood that Ashton had been intentionally approaching Eden for his own hidden purposes.Ashton replied candidly, "I have a very straightforward goal—I intend to sleep with Eden and then rule over Zolane!"Lauren was taken aback by such a direct statement. There had always been many people with the same objective as Ashton, but none had ever been successful.She then scoffed and said, "That'll never happen! Queen Eden would never be interested in a rogue like you, for one thing! You should abandon that thought!"Ashton chuckled and said, "I wouldn't be so sure. I mean, haven't you noticed that Ms. Eden has singled me out for special treatment?""You're truly shameless! Get moving!" Lauren glanced at Ashton, led him to a nearby detached villa, and assigned several people to watch him constantly. She warned, "You aren't leaving until Queen Eden is safe. If you must leave, I must accompany you. You can consider this a house arrest, but i

Eden looked beautiful even with the coldness hanging over her features. She saw right through the Heavenly Medical Pavilion's objectives. She had repeatedly rejected their cooperation to protect Zolane's sovereignty and keep their factions from gaining a foothold.Yet, as tensions in Central Region intensified, Eden understood that failing to reach the otherworldly realm meant she couldn't keep Zolane isolated from the chaos. She was also pushed to the edge due to her chills syndrome. She felt that if Tobias could actually stabilize her condition, working with the Heavenly Medical Pavilion wouldn't be such a bad trade-off, even if it meant giving up certain advantages. She thought that the worst that could happen was being forced to relinquish her position in Zolane."I need you to let down your mental guard and let my energy flow into your body, Ms. Eden. It's the most crucial part of the process, so if anything goes wrong and the chills syndrome flares up, your life will be bey

"Guards!" Lauren cried out. She was soaked in cold sweat as a wave of hopelessness washed over her. She had just felt the unmistakable sensation of a divine realm expert pinning her down."Get out of here and save Queen Eden, Ashton! I'll stay behind to cover you!" Lauren's eyes flashed with resolve. She had already prepared herself for a fight to the death.A series of deafening explosions rang out, and Lauren's guards were thrown through the air by a succession of heavy blows, leaving arcs of blood in their wake. It wasn't long before a squad of formidable assassins descended upon them, effectively surrounding both Lauren and Ashton."It's you!" Lauren felt her heart sink as she recognized the person leading the squad. She demanded with eyes brimming with fury, "Did Hera send you over, Sadie? What exactly is Hera trying to accomplish?""Oh, Lauren. You're about to die anyway, so I'll let you in on the secret—Hera will be taking control of Zolane, becoming the Queen of Zolane to

Sadie was enveloped in spiritual energy as her divine realm energy surged. She instantly covered dozens of meters, but just as she started to let her guard down, she went rigid. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in sheer terror as she stammered uncontrollably, "Y-You…"Ashton suddenly appeared before Sadie, who was instantly trapped because the space around her was restricted. He kept her fully locked on."You wanted to kill me, didn't you? Why are you leaving so soon?" Ashton flashed a malicious smile, his spiritual energy surging. He then manifested a giant black sword in the air, wrapped in bolts of lightning and flames, aimed directly at Sadie's heart."P-Please don't kill me! I'll agree to anything you want!" Sadie kept winking seductively at Ashton, putting her curves on display and even yanking her collar down to reveal her fair skin. She was desperate to live."I'm sorry, but I have no reason to spare you!" Ashton declared indifferently and brought his hand down.

Eden's eyes narrowed sharply as she stared at Hera, her final shred of hope plunging into the depths. She realized then that the very thing she dreaded the most had occurred—Hera had turned on her. Hera and Tobias had orchestrated the whole scheme."How could you do this to me, Hera?" Eden asked, her heart aching. She had always shared everything with Hera, treating her like a real sister. She had provided her with every resource and technique without hesitation, even choosing her to be the next Queen of Zolane. She couldn't believe that she was repaid with betrayal.Hera scoffed. "You want to know why I did it? How can you still be so clueless, Eden? I know exactly what you think of me. You've always looked down on me, parading your superiority in my face. You probably thought you could trample over me for eternity and keep me as nothing more than a sidekick."It's too bad that it's all over for you now, Eden! I no longer have to humble myself before you or live under your shadow
