Eternal Thief

Another beauty slightly inferior to Livia was sitting on her right side with a fierce look in her gorgeous eyes, pursed her pink lips; seeing all those men dazed by Livia's smile and snorted, "Hmph, behave yourselves, we're in the presence of her highness the Crown Princess!"

She was also the vice leader of the Royale Rose and Livia's personal maid, Jenny!

All the men quickly snapped out of their daze and quickly composed themselves, especially Kyong, who pretended as if nothing had happened.

He quickly said, "Your Highness, we received multiple reports that many first-rate wandering parties had encountered the Monster in these three days!"

Livia's bewitching eyes shimmered with a peculiar glint as she spoke gently, "And?"

Kyong's heart raced when he felt Livia's focus on him, and he quickly said with a smile, "They were no match for him, and he escaped every single time without retaliating, and all he did was blocked their attack just like he did on the fifth floor.

"It could only mean that monster is the same one, and he's planning to search for the entrance before he would use his true strength!"

On the other hand, Jenny snorted with disdain, "You forget to add that he's getting closer and closer with every hour. This also means he knew where the entrance is, and by his terrifying speed, he is already a day away from the city!"

Coldness appeared in Kyong's eyes but quickly hid behind the smile as he looked at Jenny meaningfully and said, "Miss Jenny is also right. That's why I propose we should ally with Royale Arrow!"

The other high-ranking members were startled when they heard this and looked at Kyong with strange lights in their eyes. But they didn't say anything and looked at Livia, who was still smiling nonchalantly.

However, Jenny's eyes turned cold as she instantly refuted, "Vice Leader Kyong, do you know what you're proposing?"

Kyong coolly nodded, "Yes, and I think it is the right thing to do. We can't take chances and put Her Highness's life in jeopardy. Don't forget the Monster's abilities are still unknown, and if he's the Monster from the fifth floor, then there is even more reason to be more cautious.

"Besides, the Second Prince and Third Prince will be thrilled to work with Her Highness, and I'm sure your highness will also be happy!"

"Presumptuous, are you deciding for her highness?" Jenny instantly stood up as her aura suddenly spiked, and emerald Qi suddenly appeared in her hand.

On the other hand, Kyong still had his gentle smile as he remained static under Jenny's peak platinum soul realm pressure.

He was quite used to it because Jenny was against him, stopped all his advances on Livia, and always got in his way. But he couldn't do anything to her because she was always with Livia like her shadow, so he could only endure this presumptuous maid.

"Alright, we'll do as, Sir. Kyong suggested!" Livia spoke at this moment.

Jenny was startled and disbelieving as she looked at Livia and blurted, "But…."

"Jenny~" Livia gently looked at her with a delicate smile making Jenny shut up. She could only purse her lips and sit back,

Kyong's smile widened upon seeing this, and he said, "Thank you for her highness's trust. I won't disappoint you."

Livia nodded and smiled gracefully before she said, "I know you won't, Sir. Kyong. While you're at it, contact Red Warriors, Blue Moon, and Golden Wolves as well. Tell them I proposed the alliance. I want a meeting with the alliance leaders in half a day. Can you arrange it?"

Kyong was happy about the first part before his smile stiffened when he heard the last detail. He wanted to refute it but suddenly felt a cold sensation rising when he saw a golden Qi flash into Livia's eyes a moment.

A chill ran down his spine as he quickly nodded with a stiff smile, "I'll arrange it post hastily!"

Livia stated as she looked at everyone in the room with a beautiful smile, "Everyone prepares your teams. We'll pay them a personal visit if anyone does not come!"

Everyone was astonished and somewhat excited since they knew the meaning behind Livia's ambiguous words, while Kyong felt his heart go cold. He nearly forgets the true Monster hidden behind that bewitching smile after not seeing her for over a decade.

Livia was famous with another title on the sixth floor a decade ago, and she didn't seem to have changed at all.

Kyong thought with a hint of terror, 'The 'Bloody Rose' is back!'

--

Within half a day, all the leaders of the other big four alliances got Livia's proposal of alliance and invitation to Royale Rose Headquarters.

No one dared ignore the invitation since it was purposed by Livia herself, and they came with their vice leaders for this meeting.

They all knew about the whereabouts of the Monster, and he was getting closer by every hour.

Furthermore, they were quite worried about his strange strength since they could not make him use an attack, and he only blocked and then managed to escape no matter how many times they blocked him or attacked or with what they blocked him with.

It was like he was toying with them, and with the event that happened on the fifth floor when the beast suddenly entered the city, they were quite afraid that it might take place here as well.

So those who were underestimating him no longer dared to belittle the Monster and were preparing with everything they had, while those who were not confident in dealing with him all escaped back to the mainland since they didn't want to die.

More importantly, they knew the five big alliances wouldn't let them have the last kill, or even if they managed to kill, they won't be able to live to join the rewards, especially with the return of the Bloody Rose and the Elf Queen and Second King presence on the seventh floor.

Those were the biggest reason for those elves' fear, and that's why they didn't dare to get into the royal family's way anymore. If they make the Queen unhappy, their families will be wiped out.

As for the other three big alliances, which were established by the royal family branch members, they also knew with the three royal heirs present; it won't be wise to compete with them.

So, they all secretly chose to support either Royale Rose or Royale Arrow. It will all be revealed in the meeting, which was about to commence.

Within the same meeting room, Livia was sitting in her position, but this time, Kyong and Jenny stood behind her.

There were six other persons set around the table, two on her right side and four on the right side.

The two on the right were none other than Second Prince Randall and Third Prince Jerice, they were both Leaders of the Royale Arrow Alliance, and four masked elves were standing behind them.

On the other side were the three leaders of the other big three alliances. Two of them were middle-aged elves Fabien and Pedro. In comparison, the last one was a wizened face elf with an elderly smile, Princeton. They all had their vice leaders standing behind them.

Livia spoke at this moment as she looked at her two brothers, wearing stoic expressions, "Little Randall, Little Jerice, it's been a long time since I saw you two. You both have become more handsome and mature. After I've done with this event, I'll search for beautiful wives for you two!"

Randall's expression stiffened with a sliver of red on his face when he was called 'Little Randall' by Livia, and terrible memories started to surface in his head.

While Jerice, who had almost the same handsome appearance as Randall but not his calm demeanor, instantly berated, "Crown Princess, watch your words!"

The other elves pretended as if they didn't see or hear anything since it was a matter between the royal heirs and remained silent.

Livia wasn't angered by Jerice's disrespectful words and giggled as she gently nodded, "You're still cute as ever, Little Jerice! Just call me Big Sis, like you always did when you were little. Ah, I still remember how you used to chase me…."

"Y-You, stop!" Jerice face turned bead red with embarrassment, and there was a fire of anger ablaze in his eyes as he gnashed his teeth.

Randall quickly slapped his brother's head and chided him sternly, "Don't be disrespectful to Elder Sister!"

The others were really awed by how Livia easily made those arrogant princes so timorous without even doing anything.

Randall hid his rage and quickly smiled stiffly as he said to Livia, "We miss you dearly as well, Elder Sister. But we didn't have the luxury to reminisce, and we can do it after getting rid of that Monster!"

Livia chuckled, "You're always so clever, Little Randall. Alright, I'll give you both treasures after I kill that Monster and then search for your future wives!" She nodded to herself.

The other three leaders felt extremely awkward at this moment, and they finally understood one thing seeing how carefree Livia was; Livia didn't see them as threats at all!
