Taking everything away from her
On the private plane.
"How much longer until we reach J Country?" Qiao Qiao asked the bodyguard beside her.
The bodyguard estimated for a moment before replying, "At normal speed, we still have three and a half hours."
Three and a half hours?
Qiao Qiao recalled Freya's words. If they didn't arrive before midnight, they wouldn't be able to return. It was now eight o 'clock in the evening, so they should be able to make it in time. However, they would definitely be late by the time they reached the Imperial Palace.
She instructed, "Arrive at the fastest speed possible."
"But it will be very bumpy."
"No worries."
If they didn't make it in time, she didn't know how angry Freya would be.
At eleven o 'clock in the evening, Qiao Qiao finally arrived at J Country. When she landed, there were already many bodyguards gathered around. "Welcome back, Your Highness Lilith."
"Mm."
Qiao Qiao scanned her surroundings and didn't see any trace of Freya. A trace of disappointment appeared in her eyes. The last few times she came back, Freya would always come to pick her up. However, she didn't come this time. It was obvious that she was too angry with her.
When she returned to the Imperial Palace later, she must apologize properly.
"Let's return to the Imperial Palace."
The group of people drove towards the Imperial Palace. As it was late at night, there were fewer cars on the streets. Qiao Qiao opened the window, intending to enjoy the cool breeze. However, she heard a deafening siren from not far away.
The sharp siren pierced through the sky, deeply impacting someone's soul.
"What's going on?"
Qiao Qiao was startled as she saw several fire engines passing by in front of her eyes.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao's bodyguard also received a call. His expression changed drastically as he quickly turned to Qiao Qiao and reported, "Your Highness, bad news. There's an unknown fire in the Imperial Palace!"
Qiao Qiao's pupils constricted.
She grabbed that person's hand and asked, "The exact location!"
"It's Princess Freya's bedroom!"
— —
J Country's Royal Palace was set ablaze.
The pitch-black night sky was dyed blood-red.
More than a dozen fire trucks surrounded the palace. Pillars of water shot up to the sky, but they were unable to extinguish the sudden fire. Instead, the fire burned more and more fiercely.
By the time Qiao Qiao arrived, the place had already been engulfed in flames.
She grabbed a palace servant who was hurriedly passing by and asked, "Where's Wangfei? Where is Princess Freya? "
That person panicked and said, "Her … Her Highness is still in the temporary imperial residence."
"He's still in the palace …"
"Yes … Yes. At that time, she said that she was sleepy, so, so … she went to the bedroom to sleep. When the fire started, we were all in a hurry to put out the fire and didn't notice. Who knew that the fire actually … actually …"
Qiao Qiao's brain exploded.
She felt as if all the blood in her body had been sucked dry, and she was cold to the bone.
Freya didn't escape. She was still in the room.
Qiao Qiao looked at the flames that shot up to the sky. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws. The water from the fire trucks couldn't extinguish the fire at all. Because the fire was too fierce, no one dared to go near it.
"No, don't do this … Don't leave me alone …" She muttered. Her expression was a little dazed as she walked step by step towards the burning palace.
"Freya!"
Qiao Qiao shouted and wanted to run into the fire.
The group of guards saw Qiao Qiao rushing towards the burning palace and were shocked. They quickly stopped her. "Your Highness Lilith, it's dangerous. Please don't go near it!"
"Go away!"
Qiao Qiao pushed the guards away and wanted to rush inside. She couldn't think at all. She only knew that her family was still inside. She had to save them. She had to!
"Freya is still inside. We have to save her!"
"It's too late! The palace is already surrounded by fire. The Princess Consort is already … "
"It can't be! Freya won't die! She won't die! " Qiao Qiao grabbed the guard's clothes and roared like a crazy demon. "You didn't save her. How can you say that she's dead? Go away!"
She pushed the guard away and wanted to rush inside again.
At this moment.
A pillar collapsed with a loud crash.
Then, the entire palace collapsed like a mountain. Debris and rubble fell heavily to the ground, setting off layers of heat waves and sand that filled the sky.
In an instant, the palace turned into ruins.
Qiao Qiao's amber eyes turned scarlet. She stared at the scene in front of her. In the sky, there was a heart-wrenching scream.
"Mother!"
However, there was no response from anyone else.
— —
In a tall building not far away, a middle-aged man saw the flames soaring into the sky. He sneered and muttered, "Freya, I've said it before. Without my protection, you won't be able to move an inch. This is the price of your stubbornness."
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"Get ready. After waiting for so long, we're finally going to welcome our Princess back."
"Yes!"
What he had failed to do twenty years ago, he had finally succeeded.
The bloodline of the Royal Family would eventually be in their hands.

In another palace of the Royal Family.
"Princess Freya's palace is on fire."
Isabelle and the others' expressions changed. "Damn it. I knew it. Those people won't let that woman go. With Freya dead, Lilith will have lost her backbone. Heh, the Elders will definitely take action!"
Yale frowned and looked at Isabelle. "Isabelle, what do you want to do?"
"Take this opportunity to completely suppress Lilith! Because of the grief of her mother's death, she will die soon after. Isn't that reasonable? "Isabelle sneered.
"If we attack Lilith now, it will attract too much attention."
"…"
"Let's send people to keep an eye on Lilith first. Now that Freya is dead, Marshall's party will definitely suffer a great loss. Whether they can rise again in the future is a problem. We can't give ourselves away."
"But …"
Isabelle was still worried.
Yale stepped forward and pressed his sister's shoulder. "Isabelle, no matter what you do, think about Ravel. He won't want his only remaining family to die."
Isabelle hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"I know."

In the eyes of others, Freya's death was just a redistribution of benefits. Other than Qiao Qiao, no one really cried for her death.
In fact, many people were secretly clapping their hands and cheering.
"Ugh!"
Qiaoqiao was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on the lawn. It was a ghastly sight.
"Her Highness Lilith!" Everyone was shocked.
"Haha." Qiao Qiao's body was bent over in pain as she tightly covered her mouth. However, she suddenly laughed out loud as if she was crazy.
"Hahahaha … Hahahaha …"
She stood in the ruins covered in fire, laughing hysterically and miserably.
"Gone, everything is gone. The people I love, the people who love me, they are all gone. Hahahaha … All gone, all gone … Hahaha …"
"Hahaha … Hahaha …"
"Hahaha …"
Less than a week.
Qiao Qiao lost her beloved husband and her biological mother.
Love, family, they were all taken away. The devastating blow completely destroyed her will. Lilith's party also suffered a setback.
Some people were happy, while others were sad.
The struggle of the royal family was always stained with blood.
