Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Civilian Girl Lilith
Jon stood up, bowing respectfully, "Prince had to leave earlier."
"Left earlier? His timing couldn’t have been more perfect." There had been too many chaotic matters before, and she hadn’t been able to focus, but now she finally could spare some energy to think about revenge. "Slaughtering my classmates like that, do you think it would just be forgotten? Am I that forgiving?"
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly grew tense.
Jon looked to Lin Cheng for help, but Lin Cheng pretended not to see.
"Your Highness, what will you do then?" Jon realized that even the mysteriously powerful Lin Cheng had to avoid Princess Freya’s fury, knowing that relying on anyone else was futile. They had anticipated this outcome, but they had underestimated Princess Freya’s determination for revenge.
"I want Clive dead. None of you will escape," Lin Fu stood up, her expression icy. "I know you didn’t partake, Jon. Don’t worry, I won’t vent my anger on the innocent, but those who lifted a hand must die."
Perhaps it was the intensity of the murderous intent in her words that finally made Ingrid speak up, "Princess Freya, Clive is your elder, your kin. You are too cruel."
Lin Fu turned her head, her expression mingled with disdain and sarcasm as she looked at Ingrid, "So, it’s you."
Just those simple four words, and while the others hadn’t yet grasped their meaning, Ingrid’s face turned deathly pale, even glancing subconsciously at Xia Huangyu.
"Civilian girl, Lillith."
Lin Fu’s words made everyone gasp. Even Fu Xing raised his eyebrows in surprise, giving Ingrid a second look.
The name "Civilian girl, Lillith" was famous among the citizens of the Empire. The Mary Sue novels that were popular on the Star Network were all based on Lillith. She had become the object of envy and jealousy for countless young girls.
As an ordinary civilian, although pretty, she was far from being stunningly beautiful, especially when compared to the noble daughters from Capital Star in terms of demeanor. Yet, it was this very girl who had a prince from the Mecklenburg Royal Family utterly enchanted, even losing his rights to the succession of the Royal Family.
"Jon, you must hate those who betrayed Clive, schemed against him, and locked him up on Helheim Star, don’t you?"
Lin Fu sneered, "Do you know why? It’s because of her. Clive abandoned his engagement to the Xia Family because of her, indirectly causing the death of Xia Family’s first heir. That’s why Clive was jointly penalized and imprisoned on Helheim Star by the Royal Family and Xia Family."
"Hisss!"
"So... it was like this?"
"The Mecklenburg Royal Family would either be dethroned, losing their honor and status, exiled never to return to Capital Star, or be confined on the royal-exclusive Tourism Star, only then befitting their royal status. As a revered Prince, once likely to ascend to the Imperial Throne, how could Clive be confined on Helheim Star? Couldn’t anyone have wondered?"
"Was it you?"
Xia Huangyu suddenly stood up, his face flushed red with rage, his eyes blazing. Seemingly having realized something, he gritted his teeth, "No wonder Clive spared others but captured me."
"That’s right, you guessed correctly," Lin Fu acknowledged.
"So all of this is Clive’s own doing, what right does he have to seek such extensive revenge?" As she spoke, her face fluctuated with emotions, infuriated to the extreme.
