Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Assassination Attempt

The next day.

"Is everything ready?" Aethelarion asked.

Malcom nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. I have made the necessary arrangements with The Shadow. They will carry out the assassination on Dryden during their journey to Waydale City. Everything will be taken care of, and no one will suspect our involvement."

Aethelarion smiled in satisfaction. "Excellent. This is the beginning of a new era for our kingdom."

As they made their way to the courtyard to see off Dryden, Aethelarion's heart was pounding with excitement. He couldn't wait to hear the news of Dryden's demise, and finally take full control of the kingdom.

Dryden only take four people with him, he didn't need to take more. In this way, he will arrive faster.

As Dryden approached, Aethelarion put on a fake smile and greeted him. "Ancestor, I wish you a safe journey. We will be eagerly awaiting your return."
