Chapter 92 The great revenge is avenged
She spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Glen, the paladin from back then. He killed Queen Amber, who was in a weakened state, either on someone's orders or for his own selfish reasons. He was also cursed and turned into a cat. He has been lurking in the palace ever since. I don't know how you brought the Magic Mirror under your command, but he is indeed a formidable character."
Glenn sneered, "For your own selfish reasons? I think you've miscalculated, Your Majesty. It wasn't me who wanted to harm the Queen back then; it was our infatuated King who ordered me to do so."
A cold glint flashed in Qiao Xiao's eyes. "Ridiculous. Queen Anbei was so beautiful, how could the late king bear to kill her?"
Glenn: "You mean the late king was lustful? You have a good eye."
She couldn't help but clap and cheer.
Glenn: "But he's not just a womanizer, my queen."
Qiao Xiao: "What do you mean?"
Glenn: "What do you mean? Go ask our Prime Minister and the deceased Kaiya what happened back then that made the once young and healthy Queen Anbe so weak in such a short time."
She slowly approached Qiao Xiao, a sinister smile spreading across her face. "Then, my dear queen, let me end your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark magic surged out from around Glenn, spreading out like a bottomless swamp.
Qiao Xiao frowned, staring intently at her, thinking to herself: With my abilities, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time defeating her; I was too impulsive just now.
Just then, the door to the dark room was suddenly shattered by a powerful force, and Glenn was enveloped by another mysterious magic. She cried out in terror, "What is this?"
She struggled with all her might, but to no avail. Then, Spitz, the witch Anna, and a group of dwarves appeared behind Glenn.
"Fari, are you alright?" Spartz asked anxiously.
Qiao Xiao shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Glenn glared furiously at Spitz and the others, shouting angrily, "How ridiculous! You actually thought you could trap me?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Qiao Xiao quickly poured the poison she had carefully prepared onto Glenn's body.
Glenn immediately felt a sharp burning sensation and screamed in agony, "Help! Help!"
Taking advantage of her distraction by the pain, Spitz seized the opportunity and swiftly struck, casting his magic directly on her body to gradually destroy the dark magic that remained on her.
Glenn was forced back into his original form, turning back into a cat. He quickly weaved through the crowd, trying to escape the scene as soon as possible.
However, Sipoz was not about to let it have its way. He simply used his Paladin's Sword to block the floor, cutting off its path.
“I heard everything you just said.” Spitz looked at it coldly and said slowly, “You, the Prime Minister, and Kaiya all killed my mother, didn’t you?”
His voice was calm and deep, yet it contained boundless killing intent and rage. Although it seemed like a question, he already had a clear answer in his heart.
Faced with Spitz's questioning, it covered its face with its paws, its eyes filled with fear, its body trembling, as if it knew it was about to face death.
This scene was captured by the magic mirror.
In an instant, Glenn was transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished without a trace.
As Anna the witch watched what was happening before her, she exclaimed excitedly, "My God, Spitz, my child, you have banished the dark magic!"
Sipoz slowly withdrew his magic, reached out to embrace Qiao Xiao, his whole body trembling, his voice tinged with fear as he said, "My love, don't stray too far from me."
Qiao Xiao comforted her, "I didn't, Shi Bozi."
She simply held him tightly in her arms.
This farce is finally over.
As the people's anger subsided, the witch Anna and the dwarves led one unicorn after another to heal the wounded soldiers and civilians.
A trial is about to begin.
The atmosphere in the palace was heavy, and everyone's faces were solemn. Being escorted was a man—the Prime Minister.
Qiao Xiao sat steadily on the throne, with Shi Bozi standing beside her. Below the steps, Eric stood majestically to one side, holding the paladin's sword, while the others stood on the other side, staring intently at the prime minister with scrutinizing eyes.
Qiao Xiao looked at him sharply and asked in a stern tone, "Do you know you're wrong, Your Excellency?"
The Prime Minister raised his head, a sly smile on his face. His eyes darted about, revealing an eerie aura, and he replied, "What have I done wrong, Your Majesty?"
Qiao Xiao frowned slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, and said, "Hmph, what exactly did your accomplices, the Holy Knight Glenn and Kaeya, do?"
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's face darkened, but he still tried to remain calm and denied it with an attitude of "I don't know, Your Majesty."
Qiao Xiao smiled slightly, turned her gaze to Eric, and softly called out, "Eric."
Upon receiving the order, Eric immediately picked up the paladin's sword, took a step forward, walked to the prime minister, looked down at the kneeling prime minister, and questioned in a low voice: "You and those few murdered the queen, didn't you?!"
His eyes burned with a fierce rage, a furious gaze that seemed capable of tearing the person before him to pieces. If he could, he would have loved to chop off the other's head on the spot!
The prime minister, however, pretended to be deaf, acting as if he hadn't heard him, and put on an innocent look, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about?"
At this moment, Qiao Xiao clapped her hands and praised, "As expected of the Prime Minister, he truly doesn't turn back until he's at his wit's end!"
After saying that, she suddenly changed the subject and ordered, "Bring Sunny along."
Upon hearing this, the prime minister's body trembled uncontrollably. He quickly turned his head and saw his daughter with tears streaming down her face, her body also trembling uncontrollably.
Sunny answered in a weak voice, "Father..."
The prime minister asked nervously, "What are you going to do to my little daughter?"
Qiao Xiao slowly descended from the throne and walked straight towards Shanni. A faint smile played on her lips as she said softly, "Nothing much. I just investigated, and it turns out you were the one who treated the Queen back then, Prime Minister. I'm genuinely curious, couldn't the Kingdom of Sotoa find any other suitable royal physicians? Why did they need you to treat Queen Anbe?"
Next, Qiao Xiao took out a piece of paper and a medicine bottle from her bosom, and then slowly read out the prescription for a medicine recorded on the paper.
Finally, she raised her voice and emphasized, "This is the prescription you specially found for the Queen back then, but after consulting relevant documents, I learned that this prescription contains highly poisonous ingredients, Your Excellency."
This illustrates an important fact: Queen Anbe's physical weakness was not due to giving birth to Sipez, but rather because someone secretly poisoned her.
Qiao Xiao picked up the bottle, opened the cap, and made a gesture as if to pour the medicine on Jenny, but the Prime Minister did not react at all, seemingly unconcerned about the threat.
Qiao Xiao looked coldly at the Prime Minister, her eyes filled with deep disappointment and anger. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
"I never expected you to be so heartless, to disregard even your own daughter."
The prime minister remained kneeling on the ground, refusing to turn around. He arrogantly retorted, "It's not that I don't care! It's just that I really didn't do these things. In order to protect my innocence as a father, I hope you can accept this injustice on my behalf."
Upon hearing this, Spoelstra was furious and immediately stood up to criticize the Prime Minister, believing that he had lost his basic humanity.
Then, he directly used magic, employing his own magical power, in an attempt to get the prime minister to tell the truth.
His voice became hoarse and low, revealing a hint of impatience. "Tell me, what exactly happened back then?" Sporz pressed.
The prime minister's eyes were dull and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "The truth? Back then, the king wanted to obtain the magic power in the magic forest, so he carefully planned an encounter with Queen Anbe. The two then fell in love, got married, and had a prince."
"However, the king never managed to obtain the magic he desired. At the same time, Queen Ambé also discovered the king's affair; it turned out that the young and talented knight Glenn was actually the king's mistress. Deeply hurt, Queen Ambé decided to leave the Kingdom of Sotoa, but on the condition that the prince must remain."
"For the sake of her and the King's bright future, Glenn resolutely decided to assassinate Queen Ambé herself. And Eric, the personal knight by Queen Ambé's side, became someone she feared. Therefore, a few days before we planned to assassinate the Queen, I ordered Kaiya to drug Eric, so that on the day he accompanied Queen Ambé back, he was weak all over and unable to quickly detect Glenn's approach."
Everyone present gasped in shock.
Anna was furious: "It was the king who killed my sister!"
Spoelstra's eyes dimmed instantly, and he murmured to himself, "So, Father King prevented me from becoming a knight in order to keep me from touching the sword of a paladin."
His eyes instantly turned cold, as if covered by a layer of frost.
At the same time, he also seemed to have matured a lot, and the childishness on his face gradually faded away.
He stood there silently, head down, like a silent mountain.
Qiao Xiao keenly sensed his unusual behavior and a sense of worry welled up in her heart.
She didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only watch him silently.
Qiao Xiao said, "Kill him with your own hands to avenge your mother."
These words were like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky, breaking the silence between the two.
Spoelstra slightly raised his head, his gaze falling on Qiao Xiao, his eyes surging with a torrent of love, as if everything could be released at this moment.
He said calmly, "Aunt Anna, Eric, please come in."
Eric drew his paladin sword without hesitation, the blade gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.
The witch Anna, holding a poison, rushed to the prime minister's side, her eyes flashing with vengeful fury. She gritted her teeth and said, "Feel the pain before you die, for your king has suffered this little injustice!"
After saying that, she mercilessly splashed the poison in her hand onto the prime minister.
Accompanied by the Prime Minister's agonizing screams, the deadly poison rapidly eroded his body.
The once smooth skin turned black in the blink of an eye and began to peel off, revealing the rotting muscle and bones underneath.
The deadly poison relentlessly consumed the prime minister's life, causing him to suffer extreme pain.
Shi Bozi held Qiao Xiao tightly in his arms, afraid that she would see this horrific scene.
He used his broad chest to block Qiao Xiao's view, not wanting her to face this bloody and cruel scene.
He himself stared intently at everything that was happening before him, witnessing firsthand the entire process of Eric's execution of the prime minister.
When Eric walked up to the Prime Minister, he gripped the Paladin's Sword and swung it down without hesitation, his movements sharp and powerful.
As the paladin's sword fell, a crisp sound was heard, and the prime minister's head fell to the ground.
The remaining blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red, and the prime minister's body lay on the ground.
The bright red liquid splattered on the surrounding walls and floor, a shocking sight.
At this moment, Spoelstra's eyes became unusually cold, and his heart was completely unmoved.
Anna the Witch shed painful tears, revealing a bitter smile.
Eric stared at the bleeding head and broke down in tears.
Eric: "Amber, I've finally avenged you."
It's all over. Hatred has been vented, and justice has been served.
But for Qiao Xiao, this was just the beginning. She knew that although Spartz had completed her revenge, her story was far from over.
Spoelstra soon appeared before the people. In just a few days, his temperament changed. His image became mature and steady, and his aura was full of pressure and oppression.
His appearance filled people with excitement and exhilaration, and cheers rose and fell.
Schertz announced to the crowd that he had appointed Josie as Queen and granted her legitimate ruling power.
At the same time, he solemnly declared that he voluntarily entered into a marriage contract with Qiao Xiao and that a grand wedding would be held three years later.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the city, causing a huge uproar.
The witch Anna and the dwarves stood in front of the square of the Kingdom of Sotoa, bidding farewell to Qiao Xiao and Shi Bozi.
The Witch Anna: "We will personally attend your wedding in three years."
Spitz: "Please do come, it will be the perfect wedding."
He looked at Qiao Xiao with a big smile, his heart overflowing with sweetness.
The witch Anna saw all of this and said, "I wish you happiness, my children."
Qiao Xiao: "Be careful on the road."
They waved goodbye, watching the unicorns spread their wings, soar into the sky, and instantly disappear into the streets of the square.
The news that the Queen of the Kingdom of Sotoa was to marry the Prince quickly spread throughout the land and was also learned by some systems that monitor the world's events in real time, such as the Saintess System.
