Chapter 617

About half an hour later, a group of nobles and civil officials who had just entered the emperor's bedroom ran out in panic.

From their mouths, an extremely shocking piece of news came out.

"His Majesty is crazy!"

"His Majesty is insane!"

"Hurry up and inform the priests of the Temple to come over!"

"Hurry up!"

When the news spread throughout the entire palace, and even out of the palace, chaos immediately spread.

There was no other way.

No matter how muddle-headed and incompetent he was, he was still the emperor of the Ragnar Empire, the ruler of a country, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Now that the emperor had gone mad, it was conceivable how much shock and impact it would bring to the imperial capital and even the empire.

As a result, many nobles hurriedly rushed to the palace, or some hurriedly left the palace and went to the Divine Hall to ask the priests of the Divine Hall to diagnose and check on the Emperor's condition.

For a moment, the entire Imperial Palace was in a state of panic, as if a storm was brewing. Tension filled every corner of the palace.

Javis did not leave his bedroom, but he found the commotion outside. He stood at the window, listened to the movement outside, and muttered to himself.

"Is he crazy?"

He knew that this must be Shien's doing.

"Alright."

Javis made such an evaluation in an extremely calm manner, as if it was not his biological father who was in trouble.

In fact, Javis had long since stopped treating the emperor as his father.

From the moment he was so insane that he was incited by Mara to attack his children, their father-son relationship had been severed.

If Capelin's attitude towards the emperor was indifferent, then Javis's attitude towards the emperor was truly ruthless.

As the literal meaning was, there was no more affection between them.

But …

"Even if you are crazy, I will make you repent in front of your mother."

Javis said to himself lightly.

Immediately, the prince put down the curtains and returned to the bed as if nothing had happened, continuing to live his life of house arrest.

Under such circumstances, it did not take long for the priests of the Temple to come to the palace to diagnose the crazy emperor.

After seeing the Emperor, the Grand Priest gave a report that shocked everyone.

"His Majesty has been cast with magic that makes him insane."

"That magic is very powerful, and I really can't remove it with my recovery magic."

"Unless the Pope of the Temple of the Kingdom, the legendary Lord Ule, takes action, no one in the entire human world can remove this crazy magic."

His words made many people realize something.

The situation in the imperial capital was about to change.

So, the news that shocked the entire empire spread like wildfire and was known to the world.

"There is an intruder in the palace, and he has successfully harmed the emperor."

…

At the same time, Shien, the perpetrator had returned to Bigusler's house.

Sean had no idea about the great chaos that was about to take place in the capital, or perhaps he had guessed it, but he did not care at all.

It was as if he really hadn't done anything. In front of so many eyes, he swaggered back to Bigusler's house without being discovered by anyone.

Including the servants, none of them knew that there was a mysterious powerhouse in Bigusler's house who could turn the capital upside down. They were also instructed by Lockhart not to approach Sean's room no matter what.

Just like that, Sean came back in a cool and unrestrained manner.

However, when he returned, Sean realized that Xia and Lilith had arrived at Bigusler's house before him.

No, not just Rasha and Lilith.

In addition to these two, there was another person who had been brought back by them.

"Why are you back?"

Shien looked at La Xia and Lilith, who had appeared in the room, in a daze.

At this moment, La Xia and Lilith seemed to be waiting for him to return. One was standing by the bed, taking care of something, and the other jumped into Shien's arms the moment he returned, rubbing against his chest.

Shien hugged the blissful Lilith and looked suspiciously at La Xia.

Seeing this, La Xia spoke concisely.

"There's a situation, Mr. Shien."

As she spoke, La Xia was taking care of a person.

A person was lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious. His eyes were tightly shut as he fell into a deep sleep.

She had a rather tanned, healthy skin, a unique appearance, a small face, and big eyes. She seemed to be around 13 or 14 years old, a young and cute girl.

Shien naturally knew who this girl was.

This was because he had seen this girl's face many times on the crystal prop that Harvey had given him.

Yes.

"She's Lenny Bafern, right?"

Shien looked at the girl.

"Yes."

La Xia nodded.

In other words, La Xia had brought back the person she was supposed to monitor today.

And this person was unconscious.

"What happened?"

Shien frowned and asked La Xia.

La Xia's reply was very concise.

"She was almost killed."

That was what happened.

…

Five minutes later, Shien had a general understanding of the situation.

In fact, it was very simple.

"You mean, while you were monitoring Lenny Bafern, someone suddenly came out and attacked her?"

Shien said with great surprise.

"Yes." La Xia responded affirmatively and said faintly, "We saw with our own eyes that she was being chased. All the guards around her fell, leaving her alone."

"So?" Shien said thoughtfully, "You saved her?"

"It was Miss Lilith who did it." La Xia said calmly, "I judged that Mr. Shien needed this person, so he did not sit back and watch her be killed."

Therefore, La Xia asked Lilith to save Lenny Bafern.

"Okay." Shien naturally had no objection. Looking at the little girl lying on the bed, he asked, "What's going on with her now?"

"She's fine." La Xia shook her head and said, "She probably suffered too much shock. After Miss Lilith saved her, she immediately lost consciousness."

That was understandable.

Although he did not know what the relationship between the little girl and Mara was, it was very likely that she did not know anything. She was taken in by the Bafern family and lived a very ordinary and happy life for a whole ten years.

A little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old suddenly encountered a life-threatening assassination after ten years of ordinary and happy life. All the guards around her died in front of her. It was normal for her to suffer too much shock and fall unconscious.

But for some reason, Shien felt that he could feel a trace of strange magic from the little girl.

What was going on?

Sean's brows furrowed again.

At this time, La Xia gave Shien another piece of shocking news.

"It wasn't just the young lady of the viscount's family who was assassinated. The Empire's noble Bafine family was also assassinated."

The sudden news stunned Shien.

"The Bafern family was assassinated too?" Shien said in shock, "Then they …"

La Xia looked at Shien. Her eyes and expression were very calm.

"No one was spared."

La Xia gave Shien such news.

"…"

Shien fell silent.

After a while, Shien heaved a sigh.

"Fine." Shien was not too pretentious and asked straightforwardly, "What about the assassins?"

"Miss Lilith didn't take care of them." La Xia said, "But after the assassination failed, they all simply committed suicide and detonated the magic items on them, blowing themselves up into nothingness."

Good lord, hard on the enemy, and even harder on himself.

Now, even Shien would not believe that there was nothing fishy about it.

"Who would annihilate the entire Bafern family at this time?"

Shien only felt that he might be blamed for some inexplicable reason.

Just as he expected …

"Perhaps the hostile forces of the Bafern family took advantage of Mr. Shien's stirring up trouble in the capital over the past two days, so they took the opportunity to eliminate the Bafern family and then pushed the blame on Mr. Shien."

What La Xia said was exactly what Shien was thinking.

Shien was speechless.

He also had a feeling that he would most likely be accused of groundless crimes and suspected.

After all, he had indeed done a lot of "atrocious" things in the past two days. Not only did he annihilate the Lefferut family, but he also attacked the emperor.

The upper echelons of the empire would definitely think that he was the one who annihilated the Bafern family.

"What an undeserved disaster."

Shien could only sigh with mixed feelings.

However, he was a little suspicious that the annihilation of the Bafern family was really the work of their hostile forces.

It was not that he was too sensitive. It was just that this period was too sensitive. He could not help but be suspicious.

"The mysterious girl who had been taken care of by the Poison Concubine for the past ten years encountered a massacre today and was being hunted?"

No matter how he thought about it, there must be some inside story.

Shien had a headache.

"Things are getting more and more complicated."

He had just dug out the Lustrous Branch, guessed Mara's ultimate goal, and even killed a thousand-year-old monster like the High Priest. Now, there was a new mystery. The water in the capital seemed to be more complicated than Shien had imagined.

"No, I have to find Tierre and Lésia."

Shien could not sit still anymore.

He did not know what was going on over there.

But judging from the current situation, the lack of news from Tierre really made him a little uneasy.

He could take his time dealing with Mara, but he could not let anything happen to Tierre.

Therefore, Shien already wanted to find Lésia and Tierre first.

La Xia seemed to have seen through Shien's concerns.

She also brought him a rare piece of good news.

"Speaking of the young lady, I might have found her location."

La Xia said with a shocking tone.

"You … You found them?"

Shien was surprised at first, but then he was overjoyed.

La Xia nodded calmly.

"I am a magical life created by the young lady using her own magic as a reference. Although I have no magic, I can occasionally sense the residual magic left by the young lady when she uses spatial magic."

As she spoke, La Xia told Shien a place.

Shien blinked.

"In that kind of place?"

Shien was speechless.
