Chapter 1037 Fighting openly
Of course, Coby would not allow things to go as she wished. Therefore, the two of them fought openly.
Finally, the Empress was going to die. But before she died, she sent people to the villages to find her long-lost sister.
The younger sister was left to survive among the citizens when the last Empress was still alive.
Only then did he realize that the Empress had made a move in advance. She had passed all her power to her sister so that one day, she could make use of her death to make her sister return and kill the High-Priest, then to regain her authority.
As expected, after he was summoned into the palace that night, The Empress was dead.
Everyone thought that he had poisoned the Empress, but only he knew that it was the Empress who had poisoned herself to death.
He would never forget the pair of eyes, which were fixed on him before she died.
In that moment, she was still smiling as she spat out blood but insisted to say, "Coby, you're very powerful, right? The moment you step out from here today, you will be a sinner who kill the Empress. I want to see how see how far your powers can go! By then, everyone will blame you and curse you. When my sister enters the palace, she will take my place and punish you on behalf of me."
"As a High-Priest, no matter how influential you are, how high your status is, or how no one can touch you, you'll be charged after plotting against the Empress, right? Hahaha! from now on, the High-Priest will no longer be in charge of the dynasty. The time for the Imperial Family to regain power is just around the corner. Even if I'm dead, I die with no regrets! Coby, I'll be waiting for you in hell! I'll wait for you to report it to me. Hahaha."
The Empress died as soon as she finished speaking.
At the time, he was angry. Although he knew it was a trap, he had no way out.
Fortunately, he had sent someone to capture the Empress's sister and placed the woman under house arrest, then informed the officials in his faction to spread the rumors about the Empress creating a fuss in the harem. He then framed the death of the Empress on the blame of another male official.
Finally, he successfully escaped and returned to his estate. But this wasn't enough.
Everyone already knew that the Empress had a younger sister. She was currently on her way to the castle and was preparing to take over the Empress' position.
If the younger sister showed up at this time, the suspicion on him that he had cleared with great difficulty would be a waste of effort, as it the blame would be put on him again.
Therefore, the sister could not show up, and someone must take over the position of the Empress.
However, if he released the Empress' younger sister, she would have known long ago that he was the one who had killed her sister, so she would not let this matter rest so easily.
So for the present, the only solution was to kill her to avoid future troubles.
But how was he going to kill her in a way that it wouldn't affect the succession of the throne, and he wouldn't be suspected?
Back then, Coby was caught in a dilemma.
Just when he was caught in a dilemma, he accidentally discovered the secret of that woman.
It was a quiet night. Since there were not many women servants in the mansion, and the arrest of the Empress' younger sister was also a secret, he was not comfortable to leave it to others.
For this reason, he let Cara handle the sister's meals.
Cara was the woman he brought back from the desert.
On that day, he accidentally passed by the room where the Empress was locked up and saw light coming out of it. Out of curiosity, he peeped through the crack of the door.
The moment he looked into the room, his eyes widened in shock.
Inside, the Empress' younger sister was sitting on the bed, and her entire body was tied up. On the other hand, Cara was also in the room, performing weird gestured with her hands. Following that, her beautiful face changed into his appearance all of a sudden.
Upon witnessing that, he was shocked that he took two steps back. But right away, he peeked in the crack of the door again and by then, she had already turned back into her original appearance. Subsequently, she said something to the Empress' sister and mimicked her face.
He had never seen such... sorcery.
In that era, human-skin mask had already existed.
However, the skin mask was still an inanimate object, and he could only wear it for a certain period of time. It was definitely not a long-term solution.
Therefore, he had never seen that without any assisting tools, a human could turn her face into another woman's effortlessly.
What kind of sorcery was this?
In the room, as Cara looked at the woman for a while, the Empress' sister was seen picking up the bowl and ate a few mouthfuls of rice.
With a smile, Cara looked at her and didn't come out until she finished her meal.
When she came out, she saw him standing nearby,
The smile on her face faded away in an instant, turning into a look of panic.
Obviously, she was very clever. Judging from where he was standing, she immediately understood that he had seen what had happened in the room just now.
Coby did not mince his words. At that instant, he felt rage but he was fearful as well. He had never known that the woman beside him actually had such an ability.
Hence, he took her to a room and asked her what had happened just now.
Lowering her head, she pursed her lips and remained silent.
In the end, he got angry, and perhaps she was frightened, so she began crying. Only then did she tell the truth.
It was a fact that he couldn't believe for many years.
She said that she was not from earth, but another spherical planet. In this universe, there were many other planets, and there were countless of them. Each planet had an existence of life. It was just that they were presented in different forms.
And she was a creature on another planet that was very far away from earth. People like them could change their appearance based on different circumstances. They could live forever, and it was extremely difficult for them to die. On top of that, they wouldn't get sick either. However, they lacked the pyrotechnic energy human being possessed.
In fact, their bodies were not composed of flesh and blood, but were made from an extremely complex tissues. This complex tissues could shift into all kinds of shapes and sizes according to the owner's consciousness.
Like 'Play-Doh', they could transformed into any shape they wished.
Therefore, when she saw him the first time, her first instinct was that he would like her current appearance, so she became what she was now.
However, she changed her appearance again just now because the Empress' sister had not been eating. After finding out that her sister had passed away and that she had a heavy responsibility, yet she was imprisoned here and could not even see the light, she refused to eat.
Although Cara was not a creature on this planet, she was kinder than anyone else and thought that the Empress' sister was very pitiful.
Her family was dead, but she was imprisoned. If it was herself, she would not be in the mood to eat too. Even if it was her favorite walnuts biscuit, she wouldn't have to appetite to eat it.
