Maple City, Gremolagen Family Mansion.

In a hidden underground chamber.

“Ivana, didn’t i tell you to stay away from the Deceiver? Now, look at the mess you’ve caused. What are we going to do?”

“Have the Elves conducted a thorough search of the city!?”

The speaker was Duke Gremolagen’s eldest son, Seth Gremolagen. He was angrily scolding a fat noblewoman sitting across the table, adorned in luxurious clothing and jewelry.

Faced with her brother’s harsh reprimand, Ivana’s face alternated between pale and flushed. She looked extremely uncomfortable but didn’t argue.

She had indeed made a mistake this time. She hadn’t anticipated that the Deceiver would be so audacious, causing trouble at the Elf Queen’s birthday celebration. She was frustrated with the Elves’ dominance in the Maple Principality, but her dissatisfaction had only been expressed in words. She had never dared to take any substantial action.

But the worst part was that she had secretly provided the Deceiver with some information about the Elf Queen’s celebration, allowing them to infiltrate the envoy procession and enter the Elven realm.

If this were to be traced back, the Elves wouldn’t spare her, even though she was a noble!

“Enough, we’re beyond arguing at this point,” Duke Gremolagen, seated at the head of the table, said with a heavy tone. “What we need to focus on now is how to distance the Gremolagen family from this incident.”

Seth sneered and said maliciously, “That’s easy. Make everyone involved disappear.”

Clearly, this wasn’t an ordinary “disappearance.”

Ivana immediately widened her eyes, her anger flaring. “You dare!?”

Duke Gremolagen frowned and rebuked, “Seth, Ivana is still your sister. How can you say such things?”

Seth snorted, turned his face away, and muttered, “Sometimes, it’s better to have no sibling…”

Duke Gremolagen was feeling a headache. He couldn’t believe his children were so at odds, and his daughter had committed such a fatal mistake.

If they didn’t handle this situation carefully, the Gremolagen family would bear the wrath of the Elves and face ruin.

At this moment, Ivana said, “Given the current situation, I plan to leave the Maple Principality and head to the Western Continent in two days, at least for a while.”

“We’ve never been to the Western Continent, and we don’t know what it’s like there.”

“I’ve already contacted the Deceiver. Their headquarters are in the Western Continent, and they can accommodate me.”

Seth’s expression changed. Ivana had dared to contact the Deceiver even now, showing no fear of the Elves discovering her involvement.

Officially, the Maple Principality and the Elves were on the same side, working together to eliminate the Deceiver. However, decades ago, the Gremolagen family had secretly colluded with the Deceiver.

Back then, the previous Duke Gremolagen, feeling humiliated by the Elves’ dominance in the relatively small Maple Principality, had supported the Deceiver by providing intelligence and assistance. This allowed the Deceiver to continuously attack the Elves stationed in the Maple Principality, with the ultimate goal of forcing the Elves to withdraw from the region.

But as the contemporary Elven Queen came of age, the nation’s strength gradually grew, and their control over subordinate states tightened. The Deceiver’s attempts to act independently became increasingly futile. So, after the current Duke Gremolagen inherited the title, he gave up on this idea and chose to live peacefully under the “protection” of the Elves.

Upon hearing this, Duke Gremolagen’s eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded, saying, “In that case, you can temporarily leave. You can return once this matter settles down.”

Seth’s expression also softened. If Ivana was willing to leave and lay low for a while, there might still be a chance to maneuver.

After all, Ivana was still his sister, and he didn’t want to harm her.

As long as she left, and they cleaned up those involved, relying on the Gremolagen family’s power in the Maple Principality, they could completely erase all traces of this matter and bring it to a close.

Watching her father and older brother’s serious expressions, Ivana suddenly felt a bit apprehensive. She had told her favorite lover about this matter. He shouldn’t have revealed it, right?

But now that things had come to this point, she could only hope he hadn’t divulged the secret.

As she recalled the passionate moments they had shared in the days prior, and his devoted and loyal demeanor towards her, Ivana’s mood brightened.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ivana Gremolagen anxiously waited in her own lordly castle. However, instead of her lover’s face, what arrived were stern-faced Elven warriors.

Her face turned ashen as she instantly realized what was happening. Her whole being seemed to lose its spirit as she was escorted away.

Among Ivana Gremolagen’s personal belongings, the Elves had discovered evidence of her collusion with the Deceiver and her late father’s secret alliance with them. This solidified the fact that the Gremolagen family had betrayed the Elves and facilitated the Deceiver’s actions.

Once this news broke, the entire Maple Principality experienced a colossal upheaval, sending shockwaves through the hearts of countless elites.

However, in the face of the Elves’ questioning, Duke Gremolagen claimed complete ignorance of the matter and publicly severed all ties with Ivana Gremolagen. He made the difficult decision to abandon his own daughter, only managing to quell the situation after paying a great, undisclosed price..
