Chapter 161 Fourth Job Change: Leona!
If Princess Leona dared to march, she could end up dead at the hands of the Ice King, just like King Rex.
"Let's hope Princess Leona swiftly reclaims the three cities and revitalizes Stellaria," they said.
"Agreed," Princess Leona nodded. She added, "Everyone can leave, except for Matthew, the Chancellor, and the Grand Marshal."
Chancellor Lorenr and Grand Marshal Zachary frowned, but the others left, leaving only Matthew, Lorenr, and Zachary.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Zachary asked. "If we're attacking Lindataria, I'm ready to help."
Princess Leona smiled mysteriously. She questioned, "Zachary, Lorenr, where are your Divine Blessing Pre-Quest Scrolls?"
Lorenr's heart skipped a beat, but he kept his cool. He replied, "Your Highness, isn't that a personal matter?"
Princess Leona's smile widened. She retorted, "No, it isn't. I saw all the battles when King Rex led the army."
"And then?" Lorenr asked.
"You were in cahoots with the Ice King to kill King Rex!" Princess Leona's words were like a bombshell.
Zachary immediately protested, "Your Highness, I've always been loyal to Stellaria. I'd never betray it."
Princess Leona sneered, "Sure, you're loyal to Stellaria because you think a woman can't rule without an heir."
She pressed on, "So, you want the Ice King to rule Stellaria, right?"
Lorenr and Zachary looked visibly uneasy.
Chancellor Lorenr replied, "Princess Leona, I'm the Chancellor. Such baseless accusations are uncalled for."
Princess Leona's smile didn't waver. She claimed, "I may not have evidence, but I know you didn't give your all against the Ice King. You wanted King Rex to lead the army."
She added, "Given all this, it's clear you wanted King Rex dead!"
Zachary's face darkened. He said, "Princess Leona, you're going too far."
Princess Leona cut him off. She scolded, "Don't interrupt. If I'm saying this, it's because I've gathered a lot of information."
"When the Ice King first attacked Lindataria, he captured it so easily thanks to you two, right?" she added.
Lorenr gritted his teeth. He remarked, "Princess Leona, if you keep slandering us, don't blame us for being rude."
"Rude? Lorenr, what are you planning to do?" Princess Leona asked.
At that moment, Andrew's voice came from outside, followed by him leading an army into the room. He inquired, "Princess Leona, what's going on?"
Princess Leona sneered, "Isn't it obvious? I plan to kill you, so the Divine Blessing Pre-Quest Scrolls you gave the Ice King will become useless."
Zachary's face darkened. He threatened, "Do you think this will stop us? I'll fight my way out, gather an army, and rebel. Stellaria will be destroyed because of you."
Princess Leona smiled faintly. She scoffed, "If I'm openly opposing you, it means I never intended to let you leave the palace alive."
Zachary frowned. He said, "Just you? You can't stop me."
"What about me?" Lisa spoke as she stepped forward, holding a staff, her face stern.
"Even with you, we're not scared!" Princess Leona declared.
"And me."Another voice chimed in, and a figure in a black robe stepped forward. She pulled back her hood, revealing her face.
"It's you!" Princess Leona was stunned. She asked, "How is this possible? Aren't you dead?"
Ashley walked over slowly, a faint smile on her face. She said, "Of course, I had to 'die.' With me out of the picture and Lisa being the daughter of a deposed queen, unable to inherit the throne, only Leona is left."
Princess Leona said, "Only then would you dare to carry out your plan to kill our father."
Chancellor Lorenr staggered back, his face full of disbelief. He claimed, "You used us to kill King Rex. He was your father. How could you be so heartless?"
At this point, Lorenr chose to reveal the truth.
Ashley scoffed, "Father? If he hadn't intended to kill us, we wouldn't have planned to kill him."
Ashley said coldly, "Using you to kill my father, then getting rid of you, making the Divine Blessing Pre-Quest Scrolls in the Ice King's hands invalid. With the Ice King's self-serving nature, he would never help you again."
Lorenr said, "Is this the cunning of women? I thought I was clever, but I didn't expect to be outsmarted by you three."
He looked at Ashley. Loren asked, "Princess, according to your plan, only Leona can become the ruler. Are you okay with that?"
Ashley smiled. She answered, "Lorenr, no need to sow discord. This plan could only be carried out because we have a main leader."
"Leona?" Lorenr frowned and looked at Princess Leona. He doubted, "Forgive my poor judgment, but I don't see what makes Princess Leona so capable that you would bow to her."
Princess Leona stepped forward. She said, "Since you want to know, I'll let you die understanding."
As she spoke, under the incredulous gazes of Lorenr and Zachary, Princess Leona's aura began to rise continuously.
[Third job change.]
[Third job change limit.]
[Fourth job change!]
When Princess Leona's aura reached the fourth job change, Lorenr and Zachary staggered back in fear. He exclaimed, "Impossible! The limit in Stellaria is the second job change. Even with royal secret methods, it can only reach the third job change, and the conditions are harsh. Few in Stellaria have achieved it. You can't be at the fourth job change!"
Princess Leona smiled. She sneered, "Do you think I stayed in the starter village all these years just to avoid the throne struggle?"
As she spoke, two phantoms appeared behind her, one ice-blue and one crimson red. These two phantoms exuded a powerful aura.
Princess Leona explained, "In the starter village, there's an ancient Lysandra sealed. I spent years there, finding ways to obtain the power of the Fire Origin from that ancient Lysandra. Combined with my own Ice Origin power, I achieved the fourth job change."
Lorenr sighed. He said, "Princess Leona, if you had shown this strength earlier, we wouldn't have pinned our hopes on the Ice King."
"It was necessary," Princess Leona said meaningfully. "If my father didn't abdicate, no matter how powerful I was, killing him to ascend the throne would be against the rules. So, killing Rex had to be done by someone else."
