"King Yue said that you are very smart. Then you should have guessed my identity."
In the middle of the night, the young miss sat in her room and asked Li Fan who was half kneeling in front of her.
"I can only guess that you are of the royal family."
Li Fan did not dare to make a wild guess, but he was certain that she was from the royal family. From the attitude of King Yue and King Ke towards her, she was definitely from the royal family. Otherwise, if any random cat or dog came over, King Yue and King Ke would not even put her in their eyes!
"That's right, I am the first princess of the royal family, Qiu Ya."
The young miss's voice was filled with pride, "However, people only know about the Marquis and King, but not the royal family."
"After all, the royal family has not moved for a long time."
Li Fan looked at the young miss, "Since King Yue has ordered me, I will protect the young miss."
"You helped me because of the King of Yue, right?"
The young miss seemed to be a little unhappy, as if she was a little jealous.
"Yes!"
However, Li Fan showed a loyal and devoted look, "I am King Yue's man in life, and I am King Yue's ghost in death!"
The more loyal Li Fan was, the more interested this princess Qiu Ya was in him.
"If you are like this, how would I dare to ask you to do anything?"
"Young miss, please instruct me. Since King Yue has instructed me, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will do it!"
"Really?"
Qiu Ya smiled sweetly, but Li Fan did not feel that this smile was very beautiful! On the contrary, he felt a hint of conspiracy in that smile.
This First Princess looked very pure, but her inner world was definitely not simple! He had to be careful when working with her.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for you!"
Li Fan knelt down to express his loyalty. Qiu Ya sized him up for a while and said.
"If I want you to kill someone, would you dare?"
"Kill who?"
Li Fan did not answer directly but asked.
"King Ke!"
Li Fan's heart skipped a beat as he subconsciously guessed that his thoughts had been seen through? That's not right. Although this Qiu Ya's strength isn't bad, she doesn't know any mind-reading techniques. How could she know what I'm thinking? Originally, Li Fan planned to secretly become the Nemesis King, so that all the suspicion would fall on the Royal Family! The Council of Elders had always been at odds with the royal family. If that happened, the two sides would definitely go to war! At that time, the Realm Beyond Avalon would be in chaos, and he would be able to fish in troubled waters, dragging the entire Realm Beyond Avalon into the quagmire of war and destruction!
However, now that Qiu Ya had taken the initiative to make such a request … Something was not right …
"…"
Li Fan did not reply.
"What, you don't dare?"
"I just don't understand. I'm just a small soldier. In terms of martial arts, you should have someone stronger by your side. "
"My men will be sensed as soon as they approach King Ke's mansion."
Qiu Ya gently played with the ring on her finger. It was a jade ring with an exquisite qilin carved on it.
"They have special equipment that targets the royal family, so my people can't go."
"I see. I understand now."
Li Fan nodded. "Then leave it to me."
"This is a mission that has a slim chance of survival."
Qiu Ya did not know if she was doing it for Li Fan's sake or if she was pretending to be close to Li Fan. She warned Li Fan. "If you don't succeed, King Ke will definitely execute you. If you succeed and are caught, you will be executed on the spot! "
"I've already made up my mind, Missy."
There was no fear in Li Fan's eyes.
"You're not afraid of death?"
"I'm not."
"Why?"
"Because I've lived for too long."
Qiu Ya pondered for a moment at Li Fan's words.
"It's not a problem to live for too long."
Qiu Ya continued. "The key is to live happily. The problem now is that Father is going to abdicate. "
"Oh?"
When Li Fan heard this, he roughly understood why the Princess was in such a hurry to act!
The Emperor of the Realm Beyond Avalon was also very bold. Why would he abdicate for no reason! However, this abdication was beneficial to him. For now, the more chaotic the situation in the Realm Beyond Avalon, the better!
But what did Qiu Ya mean by assassinating King Ke …? Li Fan's mind spun rapidly. In this fight for the throne, Qiu Ya should only be one of the candidates. There were 49 vassal states and every one of them wanted more power. What should they do? There was probably only one way, and that was to rely on one of the successors and support him to become the Emperor!
The Realm Beyond Avalon was too small. It was such a small place, yet it was divided into 49 vassal states. In comparison … the vassal states were already dissatisfied! If they were satisfied, they wouldn't be fighting so often!
King Ke should be one of the supporters of Qiu Ya's opponent. Otherwise, with King Ke's power that had been suppressed by King Yue for so long, how could he nurture such a strong elite army?
However, would Qiu Ya benefit from killing King Ke? Probably not. With Qiu Ya's intelligence, she should not be the direct beneficiary of King Ke's death. However, Ke Wang should be the main force behind someone's actions. Killing Ke Wang would not only weaken this person, but it would also frame the other person …
It was a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If his guess was right, then Qiu Ya would be a terrifying opponent.
After spending so much time with Lin Yueh-hsin, Liu Zhu, and Bai Linluo, Li Fan felt that his intelligence was starting to increase.
"You must succeed in this mission."
Qiu Ya instructed Li Fan, "I will arrange for you to get close to King Ke."
"I will listen to Missy's arrangements."
Anyway, it was something he wanted to do. Now that he had Qiu Ya's support, it was not a bad thing. However, Qiu Ya seemed to care so much about him, but after she was done with him, even if King Ke's people did not kill him, she would send people to kill him! He had to think of a way to tie the interests of both of them together!
King Yue was only a chess piece in the game of power. In comparison, Qiu Ya was the real player in this game of power. He had to hold onto Qiu Ya's thigh tightly to climb to the top and complete his plan!
"Alright, it's getting late. Rest early today. Ah Fu, bring him to his room. "
"Yes, Missy."
A middle-aged butler stood there with his head lowered respectfully.
"Please follow me."
As Ah Fu spoke, he bowed to Missy before leading Li Fan out of the door.
As they walked through the corridor, Ah Fu only showed the back of his head to Li Fan.
"You were too rude just now."
Ah Fu suddenly spoke. His voice was filled with mockery.
"In the end, you are still a lowly person. You don't even know how to be polite. In the future, you are not allowed to question Missy's words. Missy's orders must be executed! Furthermore, when speaking to Missy, with your status, you must kneel! "
"What if I don't do it?"
Li Fan smiled faintly.
