Chapter 429: Chapter 294: Two Princesses, You Wouldn’t Want... The Elf Queen’s Night Raid!?

Although Yuluxi and Alina were both princesses, there was a subtle distinction between them.

If the Elf Queen were, for some reason, unable to continue her reign, the only one who could inherit the throne was Alina.

None of the other princesses, including Yuluxi herself, had any chance of succession.

"Do I need you to remind me of my status?"

Upon hearing this, Alina shot Yuluxi a cold glance.

But after a moment’s thought, a smile suddenly curled on her lips. "I heard you once met with him alone," she asked. "What’s wrong? Are you jealous, seeing this man in my room?"

Hearing this, Yuluxi took a nervous step back, waving her hands in denial. "How is that possible!?" she said hurriedly. "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Oh?"

Alina’s smile grew more wicked. "But I’ve also heard that the reason you stopped targeting Beiya Leila was because of him."

"That makes me very curious... What kind of agreement did you two reach?"

"We have no such agreement!" Yuluxi immediately retorted. ’What agreement could I possibly have made with Su Xuan?!’

’He just has something to hold over me, that’s all!’

Of course, Alina already knew her secret. But rather than bring up her identity as a Witch, she preferred to use other matters to bait Yuluxi.

"Is that so?"

Alina’s eyes narrowed slightly as she chuckled. "Then come here~"

"What are you going to do?"

Though filled with confusion, Yuluxi still walked toward Alina.

But just as she reached Alina’s bedside, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the Holy Light.

She saw that the Dark Night Miasma didn’t completely envelop the sacred glow; about half of the Holy Light was still visible.

Just then, Alina leaned close to Yuluxi’s ear and whispered, "I’d like to borrow your Dream Desire Demon Eye for a moment~"

"How could you possibly know!?" Yuluxi’s voice trembled with disbelief. Her Dream Desire Demon Eye was her biggest secret. Besides the Queen, no one else knew.

And yet, Alina...

Yuluxi’s gaze couldn’t help but shift to the sleeping Su Xuan as a strange suspicion arose in her heart. ’Could Su Xuan have told Alina?’

"You don’t need to worry about how I know," Alina said dismissively. "Just do as I say, and I won’t tell anyone about this."

"You!"

Yuluxi bit her lip, about to retort, but just then, the sound of high heels shattered the tense atmosphere.

’Who could be here now?’ Alina wondered, a little confused.

As the sound drew closer, a faint fragrance wafted to their noses. It was a unique and familiar scent that made both of their expressions instantly turn grave.

"The Queen is here!"

"Why would the Queen come at this hour...?"

Alina and Yuluxi descended into a panic!

"Quick! You take him and leave first!"

"There’s no time!"

The Elf Queen was already at the door, but escaping through the window would alert the Elf Guards outside...

At this critical moment, Alina poured her Magic Power into the Dark Night Miasma, instantly wrapping Yuluxi and Su Xuan tightly within it and stashing them in a corner of the room.

Then, she stepped out of the room to greet the Elf Queen.

The door opened slowly, revealing the Elf Queen’s stunningly beautiful face. Alina immediately knelt respectfully and asked, "Your Majesty, what important matter brings you here so late at night?"

The Elf Queen’s eyes shifted as she spoke in a serious tone, "Alina, I have an important mission for you. I need you to go to the Dark Forbidden Forest and deliver a message to Palos."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I..."

While Alina was speaking with the Elf Queen, Yuluxi and the sleeping Su Xuan were hidden silently under the protection of the Dark Night Miasma.

The Dark Night Miasma was like an invisible barrier, cleverly concealing their presence and allowing them to avoid the Elf Queen’s Perception.

But!

An unusual blush spread across Yuluxi’s face. It was as vivid as a peach blossom in the sunset, so bright it looked as if it might start to bleed.

Her heart pounded like a drum, and a mixture of shyness and nervousness clouded her once-clear eyes with a layer of mist.

’We’re too close!’

’And!’

’That scorching Holy Light is... poking me!’

Meanwhile, Su Xuan, beside her, was still deep in slumber, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Because he had, in fact, been awake the whole time.

He was just pretending to be asleep...
