Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Alan had angered Orina in the tavern, Wayne had angered Olivia in the Imperial City, and both the uncle and nephew were in the same line when it came to infuriating people.

The situation in the Imperial City was already very clear. Without the full support of the ghouls, the fifth prince’s high-end combat strength could not even be compared to the small group of the first prince and the other three. Not to mention that Olivia still had a small group of high-level knights under her command.

The politicians who used to live in the fifth prince’s residence were thinking of ways to break away from the relationship between the fifth prince after they found out that he had a relationship with the ghouls.

Now, the fifth prince had almost no power other than part of the military power in his hands.

Olivia was the most powerful heir to the Imperial City to begin with. The core political circle of the empire supported her the most. It was just that she did not have the intention to compete with her older brothers and sisters.

It was a pity that she was born into a royal family. Even if she did not want to compete, there would always be people who would force her to compete.

On the surface, the capital seemed to be calm and peaceful. It was still maintaining a standoff between the three parties. However, in reality, Olivia was the only one who had the upper hand.

As the fifth prince lost the support of the ghouls, the assassination plan of the first prince and his small group also sank.

Hewlett and Milton, who were sent to Rock City, did not return. They did not even send back any news. The first prince and the others were originally filled with joy, but as they waited longer and longer, they no longer held any hope.

After Foster left the capital, the ghouls also decided not to fulfill their contract. For them, the most important thing now was to find an opportunity to get rid of the fifth prince, who was an eyesore.

As long as he died, the magic contract on the ghouls would automatically be canceled. Since they already knew that the contract was impossible to fulfill, the fifth prince’s death was the best outcome. The ghouls did not want to waste time on another impossible thing.

The fifth prince, who was the most clear about his current situation, had been recalling since that night when he had started to hate Olivia so much.

Was it after his mother died? Or after he saw Olivia fawning over that so-called father? Or was it because she did not follow him after he chose to leave the capital?

That night was the first time he and Olivia had a face-to-face conversation.

Perhaps the timing was not good, but he could not hold it in and directly spoke out all his thoughts.

He clearly remembered what Olivia said that night. Even the expression on her face also left a deep impression on him.

This little sister of his was still the same as before, but he was no longer the same as before.

Before his mother’s accident, his relationship with Olivia was very good. However, after his mother’s death, he completely despaired of his so-called father and this family.

Therefore, he decided to leave the capital. Before he left, he tried to leave with Olivia, but the young Olivia refused the invitation and chose to stay in the capital to continue to curry favor with her foolish father. He lived with a group of brothers and sisters in a hypocritical manner.

“Why didn’t you leave with me back then? What’s so good about staying in the capital?”

The fifth prince leaned against the corridor and muttered to himself.

He did not expect to hear Olivia’s voice from behind him.

“Fifth brother, it’s not that I didn’t want to leave back then, it’s just that I didn’t want to leave with my tail between my legs.”

The fifth prince was shocked. He did not expect that someone would speak behind him. He turned around abruptly and glared at Olivia.

“Why are you here? Where are the soldiers?”

He was completely shocked. He did not expect Olivia to be able to enter the backyard of his mansion at this time.

“I walked in just like that. I did not bring anyone with me today. The soldiers did not dare to arrest me without your orders, so I walked in to look for you.”

After confirming that there were no problems with Stanton, Olivia put her mind at ease to deal with the final matter of the internal conflict.

On the surface, the matter had already been settled, and the politicians were also actively making clear their stance. After the political situation was clear, what she needed to do was to settle her family matters properly.

During this period of time, the news of the fifth prince colluding with the ghouls had also spread through the core of the Imperial City’s power. Everyone originally wanted to directly go and arrest him, but this action was forcefully stopped by Olivia.

After she brought Wayne and Cynthia to visit and chat with her other four brothers and sisters, they had already made it clear that they would not fight anymore. In the end, only the fifth prince’s residence was left unattended.

Thus, today’s meeting came about. She had a premonition that this trip would not be dangerous, and it was very likely that this would be the last time she would meet with her fifth brother.

“Back then, I was unwilling to leave the Imperial City because I did not know of your plans. I was worried that the time you return, you would completely lose your status in the Imperial City. You and I both know what kind of heartless person father is.”

“If we were to completely disappear in front of father for a long time, I believe that within a year, our titles of fifth prince and sixth princess would be eliminated...”

Olivia spoke out her thoughts. This was the truest thought in her heart back then. However, she did not know that back then when fifth brother left Imperial City, he had thought this way. Moreover, this knot had been hidden in his heart for so many years.

Looking at his younger sister who was sincerely telling him her thoughts, the fifth prince’s expression was still unhappy. However, he was already slightly relaxed in his heart.

“Don’t bring up the past again. I’m not interested in knowing your thoughts anymore.”

He kept a cold face and did not chase her away.

Although his face was angry and his tone was fierce, Olivia knew that her fifth brother did not hate her as much as he appeared to.

Fifteen years ago, when Olivia’s mother accidentally killed the fifth prince’s mother, she was only one year old and was still a babbling child. The fifth prince was already a young boy. The happiest thing for him every day was to take care of his youngest sister.

After Olivia’s mother’s death that year, he believed that it was just an accident. The real murderer was someone else. But in the end, he found out that the most suspicious person was actually his father.

This was a fatal news to a young boy. He never thought that the person who made him lose everything would actually be his father.

He originally wanted to bring his most beloved sister away from this ‘home’ that made him feel despair, but who knew that his good intentions would actually be rejected.

He originally thought that Olivia was only greedy for pleasure and was unwilling to suffer with him. But in the end, he had actually misunderstood her.

They had been separated for many years, but this was the first time they had such a heart-to-heart conversation. Until Olivia left the fifth prince’s residence, she did not remember that she originally wanted to ask about the ghouls.

After sending Olivia away, the fifth prince had a relieved smile on his face. The resentment towards his own wishful thinking was indeed a little funny now that he thought about it.

“Foster, you’re here, right? Come out. It’s time to end the matter between us.”

Late at night, the fifth prince muttered to himself in the empty courtyard.

The surroundings were silent. After a long period of silence, a gray fog gradually revealed a human figure.

“Yo, ally, long time no see.”

The person who had come was Foster. Perhaps he had been there when he was chatting with Olivia.

“I’m very clear about the motives of your ghouls. Don’t worry, I’ll agree.”

The fifth prince’s expression did not change. After he said a sentence without any rhyme or reason, Foster immediately became happy.

“I knew you were a smart person. This way, we won’t have to trouble ourselves anymore.”

The two sharp canine teeth were completely exposed because of this smile. It was completely impossible to hide.

Because Olivia had gotten back together with her brother, she was feeling happy when she went back. However, when Wayne asked if she had learned anything about the ghouls, her face instantly stiffened.

“It’s okay. I’ll go back tomorrow. Now that my relationship with fifth brother has been restored, he won’t refuse my request.”

Hearing her words, Wayne could only sigh helplessly and let her go.

The civil strife in the Imperial City had been settled. His mission had been completed. According to the plan, he should have returned to Rock City a long time ago. However, the appearance of the ghouls had rekindled the flames of revenge in his heart.

On the side of the fifth prince’s residence, no one knew what he and Foster had talked about after Olivia left.

The next morning, the soldiers of the fifth prince’s mansion found his body in the room.

When the news spread, Olivia was devastated.

But at the same time, it also marked the official end of the internal strife in the Oreste Empire. The sixth princess won the final victory and enjoyed the fruits of victory alone.

Finally, she also announced that the coronation ceremony would be held in three months. The new empress would parade through the entire Oreste Empire.

As the news spread, the whole Oreste Empire became restless.
