Awakening The Weakest Talent: Only I Level Up



Chapter 840 Isabel

In the magnificent palace, Elizabeth walked through the front yard and a sea of flowers, heading toward the meeting hall.

The meeting hall was where the higher-ups of the country held meetings. It was also the place of the highest authority, with many important decisions for the country made here.

She slowly walked to the main entrance of the meeting hall, and it took her a long time to climb the hundreds of steps before arriving.

At that moment, a graceful figure at the entrance attracted Elizabeth's attention.

A tall woman in a white dress adorned with many gold and silver jewelry stood there.

Her cold and arrogant face revealed her disdain for the world.

On her perfect oval face, there was a beautiful face. Her dark red lipstick made her look ever so cold and stunning.

She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth wasn't very tall. Compared to the person in front of her, she could only reach her chest. She was also slightly weaker in terms of her noble aura.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Why are you back?" she asked Elizabeth. "You found Walter?"

The person in front of Elizabeth was her elder sister, Isabel.

"That's right, I found him. However, he betrayed the empire."

"Is that so? Then where is he?"

Elizabeth lowered her head slightly. "I brought him back."

She looked at the coffin behind her.

"Are you telling me that Walter is already dead and is lying in that coffin?"

Elizabeth nodded slightly. "That's right, sister. He had betrayed us and joined an evil organization. We had no choice."

"He wants to follow that evil organization and overturn this world."

"How dare an outsider kill a member of the royal family? Tell me who did it; I won't let that person go!"

She declared it with resentment.

She didn't care how Walter died; she only cared that the royal family's reputation had been ruined!

"I killed him. In order to become stronger, he killed tens of thousands of the Lionheart Empire's citizens. He doesn't deserve to live."

Elizabeth stated her position decisively and refrained from mentioning Lu Yu.

"Don't lie to me. You can't kill Walter with your strength. Besides, the other people from the Lionheart Empire won't let you kill Walter."

"I killed him, I promise."

"You're lying. The person who did it is definitely someone else!"

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Elizabeth carefully. "Sister, you're not telling me the truth, are you? In that case, let's hold a meeting and discuss this properly!"

She quickly sent someone to inform the high-ranking officials of the empire and all the royal family members to gather in the meeting hall.

In just a short while, the majestic, luxuriously decorated meeting hall was filled.

Almost everyone had arrived except for the old Emperor, who was absent due to his health.

"Everyone, I'll be presiding over today's meeting. Now, Walter is lying inside the coffin before us!"

The coffin was placed in the middle of the meeting hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Elizabeth sat in the front row. As a member of the royal family, her status in the Lionheart Empire was not low.

"How... how could this be?"

"This is simply slapping our empire in the face!"

"Who did it? How dare they kill one of us?"

"Who's that daring? That's blatant suicide!"

Many of them were furious, mainly because of their shattered dignity.

They didn't really care about Walter's death.

"The Third Princess declared she was the one who killed him earlier, but I felt that something was wrong, and this is the reason for this meeting."

For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on Elizabeth.

They all agreed that Elizabeth didn't have the capability to kill Walter.

"Your Highness, is what you said true?"

"We all know the difference in strength between the two of you. What you say is simply impossible!"

"The one who did it must be someone else!"

"Who is it that dares to kill one of our people, and even a member of the royal family to boot? He must be tired of living!"

Looking at the angry crowd, Elizabeth was even more determined to keep her thoughts to herself.

"No one else; it was me. I did it. I killed Walter with my own hands!"

Isabel walked behind Elizabeth and placed her hand on her shoulder. She bent down slightly and whispered into her ear, "Sister, I believe you, but I want to know who defeated Walter before you did it."

"Since we were young, when have I never failed to uncover any one of your lies? It's true that you didn't lie about this. But if you really killed Walter, someone else must have defeated him."

Hearing this, Elizabeth's body trembled, and she was at a loss for what to say.

She really did not want to reveal Lu Yu's name. If this group of people got hot-headed and brought their men to look for Lu Yu, it would descend into chaos.

"No, I can't say. You are bearing hostility toward him, and this will create a misunderstanding."

Elizabeth replied firmly.

"There's no misunderstanding. He killed a member of the royal family, so he must die. This is our iron-clad law. Don't you know that?"

"Could it be that you want to protect him? Are you going to betray the royal family? Do you even know the consequences of betraying the royal family?"

Isabel raised her hand and used her index finger to stroke Elizabeth's pink cheek gently.

"You've been pampered since you were young. You'd be defeated every time I used a little trick on you."

The rest of the people also supported Isabel's decision.

"Elizabeth, how can you shield an outsider? If you speak for an outsider, that would violate the family rules!"

"Hey, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to that wild kid? You don't even care about your own brother?"

"You can't do that, Elizabeth. You will get married to your engaged partner in the future. You can't fall in love now!"

"That's right. It's bad if you fall in love with some random kid. This will affect the fate of our entire country!"

"Elizabeth, what is it? Tell me clearly; you have to remember that you are already taken."

Elizabeth sat in her seat, feeling a little aggrieved.

"I never agreed to an arranged marriage. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Also, I'm not in love with him. He's merely someone worthy of my respect. I hope you can have a serious chat with him."

Isabel could not help but laugh at that. "Then who is he? I'm afraid he doesn't have the right to chat with me, right? Anyway, he offended the royal family, so his death is already a matter of time. I will find him sooner or later!"

Elizabeth turned to look gravely at Isabel. "Sister, and everyone here. Don't find trouble with him. Otherwise, you will die in his hands!"
