Chapter 155: Princess of the Fallen Stuart Kingdom

Chapter 155 -122: Princess of the Fallen Stuart Kingdom

Nancy Scalia had long, aqua-blue hair, a color so rare it was seldom seen even in the Holy Empire. Hair color usually signified one’s family line.

Her beauty was such that it wouldn’t be outshone even when standing next to Mary. However, she usually wore a disguise, so others only saw her as comely, never glimpsing her truly stunning face.

Before becoming Mary’s Spy Chief and head Maid, she was actually the Princess of the Stuart Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the Stuart Kingdom crumbled under the iron heel of the Holy Kingdom, eventually being completely consumed. She was captured by Mary and groomed into one of her most prized subordinates.

Nancy Stuart changed her name to Nancy Scalia. From then on, she was no longer the Princess of a fallen kingdom, but merely a Maid, a Heartless, and a Spy Chief.

Nancy Stuart became a pawn in Mary’s hands, but she was not without her own thoughts.

In the closed-off world of her heart, she hated everyone and everything from the Holy Empire.

That was why she was willing to serve Mary, because Mary would surely plunge the peaceful Holy Empire into a storm of blood.

When she received her new mission from Mary—to seduce Lian Moria—Nancy Scalia’s heart was completely unmoved.

Although this was the first time Mary had sent her on such a mission, she had long since stopped seeing herself as a person. She was just a tool.

Nancy Scalia knew that as she grew older, this day would come sooner or later.

Therefore, she didn’t fall into despair. She even looked up a great deal of information on Lian Moria, seeking to understand the man and cater to his preferences.

Lian Moria was once just a blacksmith’s apprentice whose hobby was forging.

‘Hmm, this file is unnerving to read.’

‘How could such an ordinary person exist?’

‘How could someone so ordinary dare to oppose Mary? How could he resolve the Green Shade Territory’s debt crisis? How could he level the Bone Forest? How could he marry Miss Catherine, whose full name is Catherine Rochelle Hernandez Mehelban Jackson?’

Nancy Scalia knew her intelligence network had a fatal flaw. The people in Green Shade Territory had probably defected.

She passed this information to Mary, and that very day, Mary crushed the hearts of all the Heartless Spies and Assassins hidden in Green Shade Territory.

Mary didn’t want her secrets exposed, and killing them to silence them was the best way.

But to Nancy Scalia’s surprise, she saw the familiar face of Annie in Lian Moria’s retinue.

Annie was completely unscathed. ‘This is impossible.’

‘She’s clearly one of the Heartless. With her heart destroyed, she should have died instantly, right?’

Nancy Scalia couldn’t understand it. She wanted to approach Annie to learn more, but Annie gave her no opportunity, staying by Lian’s side without leaving for a moment.

Nancy Scalia could only proceed with the first part of her plan: get close to Lian Moria.

“Lord Lian, may I board your carriage and speak with you alone?”

Nancy Scalia was riding a fine white horse, following alongside Lian’s luxurious carriage.

Lian lifted the window curtain and looked at the expressionless Nancy Scalia.

Above her head were many shining tags.

[Princess of the Fallen Kingdom] [Spy Chief] [Maid] [Heartless] [Heretic] [Demon Eater] [Merfolk Bloodline] [Five-star Bloodthirsty Assassin] [Stunning Beauty] [Inner Closure] [Undervaluing Oneself] [depression] [Loneliness]

He never would have thought that this seemingly ordinary maid before him would possess so many red tags, as well as such an extraordinary identity.

A few new tags that Lian had never seen before also appeared.

For example, [Demon Eater] referred to a person who had consumed the flesh of a Succubus in their youth due to a special illness. Upon growing up, they would develop an irresistible Charm for both the opposite and same sex, becoming a true heartthrob. But while possessing such beauty, they also easily provoked the wicked desires of others.

And [Merfolk Bloodline] referred to a human with a fifty-percent Merfolk Bloodline. They were usually the children of a male human and a mother who was a Deep Sea Merfolk transformed into a pseudo-human. A powerful, unknown Power was hidden within their bodies, but it was currently in an unawakened state.

Combining the tags [Stunning Beauty] and [Demon Eater], Lian guessed that Nancy Scalia must be using some kind of disguise; otherwise, it was impossible for her to look so plain.

Before, Nancy Scalia had always hidden behind Mary. That, combined with Mary being so conspicuous, had caused Lian to overlook her. Now that she was singled out, her collection of tags was on par with Mary’s.

Lian propped his chin on one hand, looked at the former princess, now a maid, and asked,

“Miss Nancy Scalia, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly.”

Nancy Scalia’s face remained devoid of expression. She simply undid the buttons on the front of her maid uniform. One, two, three.

Lian realized he couldn’t let this continue.

‘Everyone is watching.’

‘Won’t they misunderstand and think I’m flirting with Mary’s Maid?’

‘If Dora goes back and tattles to Catherine, this will be a disaster!’

‘This woman is truly bold! Can’t she see all the Knights and Guards in the retinue staring with wide eyes?’

“Get in.”

Lian put a hand to his forehead. As a married man, he couldn’t allow his reputation to be tarnished in any way.

As she had wished, Nancy Scalia boarded Lian’s carriage.

Inside the carriage, Annie was preparing tea for Lian.

Dora sat to one side, her eyes narrowed as she sized up Nancy Scalia.
