Bloody Night

Despite her dire circumstance, Cornelia didn't show a look of despair. A grim smile was plastered on her beautiful face. She then stared at the robed individuals while trying to identify them.

"It seems like the two nobles families are truly hell-bent on killing me!" She muttered without hiding her disdain towards them. 

"Did you really think that I wouldn't notice that you're trying to buy time? Your Highness, you underestimate us too much." The person who seemed to be the leader of these assassins mocked her. 

Hearing this, Cornelia's heart sunk. She then activated her illusion art to its maximum power, while also covering her body with true essence and anma. After observing these robed figures, she could tell that all of them were at least Nascent God Realm experts! As for their leader, she couldn't sense his cultivation level, but he should be at the Origin God Realm!
