Chapter: 807

As she revealed her identity, Zhu Taiyoon lost his ability to speak.

A survivor amongst the Guardians had appeared.

“Th-that can’t be!”

Tak!

It was hard to believe, so he snatched the identity tag she had shown, but on the tag, words were inscribed that said that she was the Emperor’s Guardian, and had been given the position by the Emperor himself.

Which meant that she was indeed the Guardian of the treasure.

“How can...”

He was shocked, but Admiral Lim seemed almost happy.

[Your Highness! We can benefit from this!]

Zhu Taiyoon, who couldn’t understand Admiral Lim’s point, looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The Admiral’s eyes shone, as if an angel had fallen from heaven just for them.

[If this woman is the only survivor of the Guardians, then all the crimes can be passed onto the Blade God Six Martial clan!]

‘Ah!’

Zhu Taiyoon finally understood what he meant.

If thought about clearly, the ones who had attacked the Shrine were the masters of the Blade God Six Martial Clan.

If she said that, then the Crown Prince and East Spear would be cleared of suspicion.

‘Indeed! After all there is no law to call for our deaths!’

Thinking that he was safe, Zhu Taiyoon calmed down and asked Ran-yeong in a stern voice.

“Hm, let us know what happened, Guardian of the Shrine.”

Thud!

At those words, she bowed her head to the ground and began crying.

“Your Highness! The treasure of the Imperial palace which I was ordered to protect was stolen by the rebelling eunuchs. Please punish me for not being able to stop them!”

“!!!”

Both Zhu Taiyoon and Admiral Lim were shocked.

What nonsense was she spouting?

Since she was the only surviving guardian, they’d thought that they would be in the safe zone!

But this turned into a situation where a dagger had been put on the neck of a patient running out of breath.

“Huh. Did you say that the eunuchs of East Spear were aiming for the Imperial treasure?”

Zhu Taikhan opened his mouth and spoke clearly enough for everyone to hear.

Whisper! Whisper!
