Helen's group smoothly entered Seagate City and was respectfully led by Kekaru to a manor in the southern part of the city.
Helen's charming face was gloomy the entire way and she was in a very unhappy mood. Originally, when Helen arrived at Seagate City, the citizens who heard the news of her arrival would break their heads to see her. But this time, apart from Kekaru's men, there were only a few citizens on the road. Those few people looked at her carriage from afar without any respect in their eyes. This made Helen feel very uncomfortable in her heart.
After arranging her personal guards in the manor in the southern part of the city, Helen refused the banquet that Kekaru held for her with the reason that she was tired. She was afraid that Kekaru would secretly harm her in his castle. She had the intention to kill Kekaru, but Kekaru was also not a kind person. Naturally, he would take the opportunity to do something at the banquet.
On the other hand, Helen also did not want to endure those unfriendly gazes at the banquet. Helen had really had enough of those disdainful gazes. However, Helen could not kill others because of their hidden disdainful gazes, so she was not willing to participate in the banquet.
This manor was specially used by Kekaru to entertain distinguished guests. The area was extremely large and Helen's thirty thousand personal guards were stationed around it. Being in the center, Helen's safety could be said to be at ease.
The full moon slowly appeared in the dark night. In the center of the room was a luxurious and spacious room. In front of the door stood a dozen or so knights in charge of security. Helen was all alone in the room, endlessly vexed.
The window automatically opened without any wind and a cloud of gray fog suddenly flew in front of Helen. When the window silently closed, the gray fog stopped flying and revealed Han Shuo's figure.
"You've come!" Helen slightly calmed her scattered mind and raised her head to glance at Han Shuo. She lightly said in a low voice, "Kekaru has always wanted to remove me from the position of Grand Duke. He once wanted me to marry his son, Kasega, but I refused. His Seagate City has always disobeyed my orders. If it wasn't for the fact that I don't want Helon Duchy to fall into chaos, I would have long since made a move against him with real swords and spears instead of resorting to assassination. "
"Tonight, I'll go over and help you take care of him!" Han Shuo calmly looked at Helen, as if he was talking about something very simple and normal.
"If it's possible, I want to work with you. I plan to end his life with my own hands. This person once cruelly murdered my birth mother. I hate him! "Helen was a bit different today. She spoke a bit viciously to Han Shuo.
Frowning, Han Shuo thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you stay here, I will help you bring him over and let you kill him with your own hands."
As for Helen's birth mother, Han Shuo didn't ask about it. Everyone had their own sad memories, and Han Shuo believed that it wouldn't be a pleasant one. Sometimes, respecting other people's privacy was more touching than showing respect on the surface.
Helen raised her head and looked deeply at Han Shuo. It was unknown if she was thinking of sad memories, but her gaze became a bit more gentle. She laughed at herself and said, "Thank you. In the end, I'm still a woman. It looks like I still need a man's shoulder to lean on. These past few years, I'm really tired."
Han Shuo smiled and nodded at Helen. He tried to walk towards Helen. When he discovered that there wasn't any vigilance in Helen's eyes, he didn't stop. When he arrived in front of Helen, Han Shuo gently embraced her. Feeling Helen's trembling body, Han Shuo patted her shoulder and said in a soft voice, "Alright, I won't ask about your past. However, I will bring Kekaru to you and let you vent your grievances to your heart's content."
"Brian, I don't know if I should hate you. When I came here today, no citizens came to welcome me. It looks like they've already started to reject me in their hearts. This is all because of you. I want to hate you, but I don't know why I can't. Can you tell me why? "Helen leaned on Han Shuo's shoulder and whispered weakly.
"Perhaps you really should hate me. However, if you continue to be so obedient, not only will I make you not hate me, I will also make you happy. I promise!" Han Shuo whispered into Helen's ear and continued, "Alright, rest for a while. In order to prevent you from hating me, I'll start with Kekaru."
Han Shuo gently pushed away Helen, who'd revealed her weariness in the dead of night, and left without a sound. He floated weightlessly towards Marquis Kekaru's castle like a specter in the night.
To Han Shuo, Helen was currently only a prey. With Helen in Helon Duchy, Han Shuo could secretly control Helon Duchy without expending any manpower or resources. At the right time, this secretly rebelling Helon Duchy could become a sharp blade in the alliance's heart and bring benefits to Han Shuo.
Although Helen was the grand duke of Helon Duchy, she was still a woman. The safest way to treat a woman was to conquer her body and mind. Men should be overbearing and flamboyant during the day, but the occasional gentleness and elegance at night was equally lethal to women.
Helen was a woman of great use to Han Shuo. Therefore, Han Shuo didn't mind spending a bit more time to firmly grasp her and her duchy in the palm of his hand.

Inside Kekaru's castle, in a secret room guarded by the army, the three people gathered together again during the day.
"Father, that woman has moved into Seagate City. We must kill her before she leaves Seagate City. Otherwise, once she leaves, I'm afraid we won't have another chance." Kasega looked at his father, Kekaru, and suggested.
"Lord Marquis, I'm afraid this is our only chance. If we really wait until she returns to Helon City, it will be difficult for us to make a move!" Magistrate Mori similarly advised Kekaru.
Kekaru's eyes continued to spin as he said to the two, "I also know. However, she has thirty thousand elites by her side. It won't be easy to kill her."
"Lord Father, she can't always hide among the thirty thousand soldiers and not come out. As long as we think of a way to get her to leave, it won't be difficult to kill her in Seagate City. All we need is a reasonable excuse. "Kasega said.
"My Lord, isn't young master Kasega engaged to Miss Regami of the Galileo family? We can take advantage of this opportunity to complete their wedding within these two days. With your Lordship's status in the duchy and her presence in Seagate City, there's no reason for her not to come and congratulate us. It's impossible for her to bring thirty thousand elites to the young master's wedding banquet. As long as she comes, we can kill her. What do you think? "Magistrate Mori's eyes shone with a sinister light as he suggested a plan to Kekaru.
"Uncle Mori, this is a good idea!" Kasega smiled cheerfully and said to Kekaru, "Father, what do you think?"
Kekaru's eyes continued to spin. After a while, he nodded and said, "This is also good. However, we must be cautious in this matter. Let me carefully consider it. We'll make our move when we have complete confidence. Helen isn't a simple woman. Last time, her birth mother's entire family was slaughtered by us, but she still managed to escape. After so many years, she clearly knew that it was us who did it, but she never showed it. This kind of gloominess is definitely not something an ordinary youngster can possess. "
"Hmph. I'll kill her the same way her mother was killed by lord father. I gave her face, but she didn't want it. She actually refused to be my wife. What happened to her now? She was raped by some unknown brat. She asked for it. What's the point of a woman being placed in such a high position? Sooner or later, she'll still be ridden by a man! "Kasega was still brooding over Helen's rejection, so he viciously ridiculed her.
"It's fine as long as we capture her. However, we can't touch her. I promised Benedict Sackville that once we capture Helen, we'll directly hand her over to him. After all, those thirty thousand personal guards of Helen's family aren't easy to deal with. We still need to rely on Benedict Sackville's help. "Kekaru warned Kasega.
"Lord father, I can play around, right? In any case, it's not her first time. Even if she ends up in Benedict Sackville's hands, he won't be able to see anything! This woman has always been high and mighty like a goddess. I've long wanted to try the feeling of riding her. Lord father, please promise me! "Kasega implored Kekaru as if he could already see Helen being conquered by him.
Kekaru loved his only son very dearly. He also knew that when Helen had rejected Kasega, his son had been so angry and pained that he had killed three maids in succession to vent his hatred. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Playing around is fine, but after this, erase that memory. Otherwise, it won't be good if Benedict Sackville finds out. We still have to deal with this person in the future."
"Many thanks father, many thanks father. Haha, I've wanted to ride that whore for a long time!" Kasega laughed lewdly, his face gradually becoming more ruthless and obscene.
Magistrate Mori licked his lips and similarly laughed dryly. His heart was also itching, but he knew that there were some things that he could not touch, so he naturally did not dare to make any excessive requests.
Just as the three sinister villains were looking forward to the beautiful future, a clear and unusual sound suddenly came from the soles of their feet. This secret room was originally underground, and its surroundings had been sealed with thick iron plates. It was impervious to the bombardment of swords and magic, and was a safe place for Kekaru to discuss his evil plans.
Logically speaking, no matter what, there shouldn't be such a strange sound coming from the soles of their feet that were separated by thick iron plates. Thus, when the unusual sound rang out, the three despicable villains stared blankly for a moment, all of them looking at the soles of their feet in astonishment.
However, before they could react, the originally soft and unusual sound suddenly grew louder. The three of them were suddenly startled, and Kekaru was the first to react, saying, "Assassin!"
As he shouted, Kekaru took the lead and ran towards the place where the mechanism had been opened, attempting to call the surrounding guards to hurry over. Kasega unsheathed his knight's sword and focused all of his attention on the soles of his feet, ready to deal a fatal blow to the person below at any time.
Clang!
An ear-piercing sound rang out, and a circular shaped metal disk flew up explosively. The thick metal disk was as thick as a millstone, and was obviously the iron plate that sealed the soles of their feet. At the same time, a figure suddenly shot out from the circular shaped ground.
Kasega shouted, thrusting his sword towards Han Shuo, who had used the Demonslayer Edge to cut open a large hole with great difficulty. Han Shuo had spent more than ten minutes before using the indestructible Demonslayer Edge to cut open the iron plate. He inwardly cursed the designer for being in a bad mood. When he saw a sword imbued with fighting aura thrusting towards him, he raised the Demonslayer Edge in his hand to meet it.
A series of clanging sounds rang out, and Kasega's knight's sword was turned into scrap metal. Even one of Kasega's arms was turned into bloody chunks of flesh. As Kasega shrieked in terror, Han Shuo suddenly swung out the Demonslayer Edge. Kekaru, who had managed to run to the mechanism with great difficulty and was about to shout for help, had his left hand pierced through by the Demonslayer Edge.
The Demonslayer Edge's power didn't diminish after piercing through his left hand. Kekaru shrieked like a pig being slaughtered, and nailed his left hand to a wall far away from the mechanism.
"Damnit, who are you, who sent you here?" Kekaru's left hand was nailed to the metal wall by the Demonslayer Edge. Fresh blood flowed down like a trickling stream. The heart-wrenching pain made Kekaru want to cry as he looked at Han Shuo and shouted miserably.
"My hand, my hand, ah …" Kasega's right arm had been completely crushed, and now resembled a long pineapple that had been skinned and sharpened. Streaks of blood were connected to his meridians, making him look incomparably terrifying.
"Damnit, you want to lay your hands on my woman with that pathetic appearance of yours?!" Han Shuo spat, ignoring the wretched howls of the father and son. He walked in front of the stunned administrator and asked with a smile, "Apart from Kekaru's three sons and five daughters, as well as the other forty-seven messy relatives in the castle, who else has the qualifications to inherit his position of marquis?"
"No, no one!" Administrator Moli looked at the smiling Han Shuo, fear causing him to tremble uncontrollably. After replying with a trembling voice, he knelt down in front of Han Shuo without any backbone, sobbing, "This has nothing to do with me, don't kill me, I'm innocent."
"Fortunately, it looks like I didn't miss anyone." Han Shuo muttered to himself and grabbed the administrator's neck, saying, "That venomous scheme you just offered was very interesting. I'm most afraid of people like you, you can't be left alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo's large hand twisted. With a crisp crack, Administrator Moli, who'd originally had his back to Kekaru, didn't change his posture, but his face was now facing the screaming Kekaru. It was obvious that his neck had been twisted.
