Armipotent

The killing intent was so thick that it alarmed Wen. The Jade Eagle rushed toward him and stood next to Tang Shaoyang. The beastmen was ready to fight any time.

However, the killing intent radiated from Crystal the Frost Knight was directed to the Rosalie the Flame Queen. Tang Shaoyang did not expect this. From Rosalie's words, she seemed close to the Frost Knight but he was wrong about that.

After the killing intent, Crystal's body released cold air. The bed and floor froze as thick cold air filled the room. Crystal was about to draw her sword but Tang Shaoyang intervened, "Don't you dare to draw your sword! I forbid you from fighting!"

With his words, Crystal's hand stopped. She did not draw her sword as she slowly retracted the cold air. She side-stepped and bowed toward Tang Shaoyang, "I apologize for my insolentness, My Lord. This Servant just did not expect to meet the traitor who caused my household's demise."

Tang Shaoyang was surprised when he heard that from Crystal. He was surprised and confused, but it would be clear if Rosalie spoke her side of the story. Things were getting interested.

Rosalie turned around and looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "Can you leave us alone, Master?" The air of arrogance around her vanished and she acted like a faithful servant instead. The change was big.

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, "Why should I leave? I want to listen to the story between you two. Especially if this related to the Pyrolis Kingdom or even the Lionax Kingdom. I have to listen!" He then turned toward Wen, "But I can ask Wen to leave. Can you leave us, Wen?"

"But My Lord…" The Jade Eagle was still concerned with his security. Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the overly concerned, "They are my Contracted Spirits, they could not harm. As for that girl," he pointed his thumb at Commander Ashley, "She is too weak to harm me, so don't worry."

Wen reluctantly nodded and left the room. With the sound of the closing door, Tang Shaoyang directed his gaze at Rosalie and Crystal. He got a chair and sat next to the bed, "So, what happened? Why our knight here want to kill you? I thought you were close with her?" He asked the Flame Queen.

Rosalie was also confused, it was clear on her face, "I don't know even know what happened with her. What's wrong Crystal?"

Crystal's blue eyes became increasingly cold, "You still have the nerve to ask after what you did to me and my family!? You do really have a thick skin." She sneered at him.

"What happened to your family?" Rosalie's clear and smooth forehead creased. She tried to recall what happened before she died. She was drugged by her Prime Minister, not allowing her to use mana, and jailed in prison.

At that time, Rosalie was aware that she was doomed. There were only two possibilities for what would happen to her back then. First, she would be sold to the slave market at an absurd price. Second, she would be raped by her ex-officials. She knew that those people were eyeing her body all this time.

She chose the third path. It was to end her life. She ended her life and became a spirit. Rosalie told her best friend what happened to her before she died. As for what happened to her best friend's family, she did not know. Everyone pointed their blades at her, she was alone and helpless at that time.

Crystal was shocked to hear the story and paused for a moment, "You are not the one who ordered the Fotia Legion to execute my family? Fotia Legion only receives an order from you!"

"Indeed but my seal could also work. With my seal that perverted Prime Minister can also order Fotia Legion," Rosalie explained with an earnest expression, "You should know about this as well, my friend."

Crystal fell silent. The Frost Knight also knew about the Queen's Seal. The seal was the same as the Queen herself. With the seal, anyone could do anything in the kingdom.

"Wait, so what's the relation between the Pyrolis Kingdom and you guys? What about the Lionax Kingdom?" Tang Shaoyang chimed in as he pointed at the quiet Commander Ashley. From the early interaction between Crystal and Commander Ashley, he could tell that both were closely related. If not, why would the cold Commander Ashley cry in a stranger's embrace?

"If what Rosalie said was the truth then The Pyrolis Kingdom is the old Lionax Kingdom. The rebel must be renamed the kingdom into the Lionax Kingdom," Crystal answered to clear the confusion.

"Then who is the King of this Pyrolis Kingdom? You kept saying Queen, what about the King?" The second thing he was curious about.

"Rosalie is the sole Ruler of the Pyrolis Kingdom. There's no King or even Prince Consort as she has not married yet." Crystal cooperated with him while the Flame Queen remained silent.

"So the Lionax Kingdom is the new Pyrolis Kingdom and you two are part of the Pyrolis Kingdom?" Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin with an interesting smile formed on his lips, "then this one is a Commander of the Lionax Kingdom."

All the pieces came into his mind and a plan formed naturally. The Lionax Kingdom formed from the rebellion force. Since it was a rebellion force there must be a resistance force as well that fought the rebellion. He could make use of this resistance force to his advantage to fight the Lionax Kingdom. Especially with Crystal and Rosalie the Flame Queen with him.

"So what about this girl? What's your relationship with her?" Tang Shaoyang asked Crystal as he pointed at Commander Ashley.

"She is indeed my descendant, some of my family members managed to escape from Fotia Legion. The Commander of the Fotia Legion was my friend, and thanks to him that my family line is preserved." Crystal explained with a dejected tone.

"This is getting even more interesting." He smiled wider when the story reached this part.
