Hidden within the shadows, a few individuals dressed in black robes waited outside the imperial palace.
"Look. Isn't that Cornelia?" One of them whispered while pointing at the sneaky figure going out of the palace through the back gate.
Their eyes glinted when they saw the familiar face of Cornelia.
These individuals were sent by the elders of the two families to assassinate the crown princess and heir of Emperor Balmond, Princess Cornelia. With the death of Prince Amon and the unknown state of the bedridden Artaurus, these men's goal was to kill the one who would most likely become the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire!
All of them were top assassins trained by the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family. There were eight of them monitoring the palace and two of them are even experts at the Origin God Realm! This force was more than enough to assassinate the crown princess who was only at the early stage of the Nascent God Realm!
