Chapter: 700

“There were rats in the Imperial Palace and the most dangerous one of them got chased in this direction, did anything interesting catch your eyes?”

“Interesting?”

“I have been thinking for a while, but the audience of the East House seemed to have the Devil’s Pandemonium.”

Hidden Devil’s Pandemonium.

A term that refers to a battlefield where a devil is said to be hiding. It means that bad things or conspiracy are constantly being done for some evil cause. Elder Khum responded right away to avoid getting cornered.

“Devil’s pandemonium? What kind of nonsense is that? This is the realm of the East Spear! No matter how important you are as the Chief Maid, this isn’t a place where you intrude and speak without evidence!”

It was the rule of the Imperial Palace, irrespective of the royal titles given, the access to the residence and training grounds had to be given by the person in charge of the guards. Elder Khum was intent on using the Imperial Court Law as an excuse to kick out the Guardians.

Though it’s indefinite that it would work.

“I didn’t come here as the Chief Maid of the Court ladies.”

“...then?”

“I came here as a member of the Imperial Palace Guardians, the one you were desperately looking for.”

“Chief Maid!”

Shockingly, the Chief Maid, Yeongwol boldly revealed her identity. There was only one reason why a member of the Imperial Guardians would reveal the identity. To punish and threaten those who disrupted the order in the Imperial Palace.

“...Chief Maid, the 3rd leader of the Guardians, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Everyone says the same thing.”

Yeongwol’s right hand began to gather energy. Elder Khum, who sensed it, hastily raised his arm and said.

“Lady! It seems like that man there is the Devil’s Pandemonium. Look here, I don’t know if you can see but he tore off my arm. I was struck!”

For an arm to be ripped out, there would be no further explanation other than that. Grateful, he thought that his statement was reasonable, but the Chief Maid didn’t even care. Rather, she spoke in a voice filled with power.

“What of the injury? As I said before, I paid close attention to you from the moment you entered the Imperial Palace.”

“Yah! Chief Maid! I wanted to persecute the spies I saw earlier, but yo...ugh!?”

Wheeing!

Elder Khum tried to point towards the unknown Golden Guard, but he wasn’t in sight. From the moment the torches were extinguished and darkness engulfed them, it was certain that the Golden Guard wasn’t in the yard anymore. Moreover, the new recruit who coughed disappeared too.

‘Th-those men!’

Elder Khum was embarrassed as the people he was trying to blame disappeared! Either they were present or not, Chief Maid, the 3rd leader of the Guardians, had already ordered the court ladies to surround the building.

“According to the law of the Guardians, subdue everything and everyone. If they rebel, you can kill them.”

“What!!!”

Swosh! Swosh! Swosh!

The moment the order was given, the court ladies simultaneously entered the courtyard. The recruits, who were nervous and anxious about their future, swung their spears.

“Fight them!”

“Even if they are the Imperial Palace Guardians, they are just girls!”
