The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 314 - The War

"Where have you been?" Mo Li hugged her the moment she arrive inside her room. "I was worried."

"How much do you know about the werewolves?" she asked. However, this time, she didn't stop him from hugging her or pushing him away.

"The Lycans?" he asked. "Why? Don't tell me…" He let her go and looked at her face then her body as if checking if she was injured somewhere. "Thank god you are alright."

"…" What's with this overreaction? "So? What do you know about them?"

"Hmmm… they don't usually visit this empire."

"Why?"

"The Lycans are prideful creatures. They look down on normal people. They have longer lifespans too so they tend to act like they are above everyone else."

"Really?" Now that Mo Li let her go, she sat towards her bed and remove her shoes.

"Yes. However, there was some news that the head of the Lycans is going to visit their empire."

Rhea lifted her gaze back to Mo Li who was leaning against the door. His posture was languid and relaxed. "They will come here?" Is that the reason why the female lead came here as well?

Earlier, after her short encounter with the female lead, Rhea realized that Eleonor is not someone that she could manipulate. Their real personalities were too alike. They are both stubborn and strong. She thought that it would be a little too late to establish a relationship with the female lead.

Then what should she do?

There's still a lot of things that needed to be done. For instance, the palace and saving her own family.

"Do you know if some Lycan is going to visit this place?" There is a reason why Eleonor would suddenly show up here.

"Hmmm… some messenger came here a few weeks ago. However, I never learned what they wanted. They talked to the king and… the crown prince."

"He never told you anything?"

"No. All I know is that they were frowning when they left. The king must have done something."

She bit her lower lip. It seems that the actions of the female lead in this kingdom would surely lead to another war. Still, she couldn't understand how it would happen.

"I need to go somewhere…" she uttered. The female lead came here for a reason and she wanted to find out about this reason as soon as possible.

"Where are you— " Mo Li didn't continue his words as he stared at her. Then he nodded. "Alright."

"You wanna say something?" It seemed that he wanted to tell her something but for some reason, he was holding back. What is it? She wondered.

"Nothing. Just take care."

"Alright." She shrugged. She didn't expect him to say that. But this is actually better than her previous expectations. She gave him a smile before leaving.

'Robot, can you locate the female lead?' she asked.

[Affirmative. Locating Eleonor Hale in 3…. 2… 1…]

[Eleonor Hale's location; West side of the palace approximately 122 kilometers away from the Host]

That's a bit far. However, she couldn't help but wonder about something else. The west side of the palace should be the crown prince's palace, no? This means that the female lead was around that area?

But why?

Eleonor wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize her and her subordinate's safety. They are gifted with extreme luck and talent. Surely, she wouldn't just come in here without any purpose. She bit her lower lip. So far, everything that happened had something to do with the main mission.

Prevent the war.

Slowly, the realization hit her.

Assassination.

If Eleonor wanted to start a war then the best thing that she could do is assassinate the crown prince and frame the male lead. This would prompt the current king to attack the Lycans up north!

'Tsk'

To prevent the war, she needed to stop the female lead.

Rhea used a talisman to make herself faster as she floated into the air. So far, the things that she has from the previous world were really useful. Especially, the talismans. Because of this and her current ability, she was able to find ways to make her mission better.

Too bad, she would forget about this in her next life.

After a few minutes, she stealthily arrived at the crown prince's palace where her sister was also staying. Because of what happened with the fake pregnancy, her sister and the prince had been fighting endlessly. She wondered if they were staying in the same bed, this time.

Damn side quest.

Why did she have to save the Larsen Family?

Why not just let Eleonor kill her sister?

She closed her eyes and used another talisman to check the surroundings of the palace.

Just as she guessed, a few Lycans were around this place. She couldn't be sure if they were rogues or not but she was sure they were Lycans because the system suddenly prompted her that they were not humans.

'Can you show me her exact location?' she asked.

Almost immediately, a bluish screen appeared in front of her. It looked like a map of the castle. At the bottom of the map was a moving red dot.

"Tsk." It seems that Eleonor was able to go inside. Perhaps she pretended to be a maid? This is getting troublesome, she thought.

After a few seconds, she used a talisman that would give her invisibility and went inside the palace and towards the servant's quarters where the female lead was staying. No matter what, she is going to stop the female lead from killing that dumb crown prince.

Just as she was about to walk inside the room, she heard someone say. "Did you find it?" It was a male's voice.

"No. Are you certain it's here?"

This time, she heard Eleonor's voice.

Frowning, she walked closer. She realized that they were talking on the other side of the door.
