Four Split Personalities

"Silent Prayer, how did you know?"

The princess with clear sky-blue eyes locked gazes with Ji Xiaodao. Her hands resting on her knees had unknowingly clenched tightly, her thin cherry lips lightly pressed together. Her gentle and charming face was slightly pale, but her cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.

At this moment, Guivere Logan seemed like a drowning person desperately reaching for a lifeline before completely sinking. Her gaze at the dark elf girl in front of her was almost overflowing with pleading, even carrying a faint, imperceptible hint of sickness.

This princess, capable of grasping the situation of the Southwestern Continent from scratch in such a short time, was not clumsy, nor had she any reason to be, even from a genetic perspective. With a talented and ambitious brother like Chavat Logan, and a clever and unpredictable sister like Elisa Logan, the probability of Guivere being incompetent was naturally close to zero.

In fact, this eldest princess indeed possessed excellent skills and talents, at least in terms of the big picture. Having been meticulously taught by Motan with a ’Chaotic Neutral’ personality for several months, she now could independently handle many trivial matters, far beyond the Solar Priest Ai Van Yae who had only seriously ’studied’ for half a month.

Of course, this was not entirely due to talent. After all, no matter how much Guivere lived in the Ivory Tower, she was ultimately the noble princess of the Griffin Dynasty. Even if she wasn’t interested in political affairs, her starting point was very, very, very high due to years of being influenced by her surroundings.

On the other hand, ’Tan Mo’, one of the first two underlings taken under her wing, was far less fortunate in terms of conditions and environment compared to Guivere. To put it precisely, before leaving Pato City with her gentleman, Little Ai was merely a passing village girl, at most a village girl who knew some rudimentary Divine Arts.

In conclusion, although Guivere Logan might not be an extraordinarily talented genius, once she decided to no longer be a flower in a greenhouse, the energy she unleashed was not to be underestimated.

For instance, she managed to forcefully integrate some seemingly insignificant small forces together without leaving her house, secretly controlling a force under the very eyes of [Lion Eyes] that, while far from strong, was nonetheless notable.

For instance, although she was a few steps behind, she still guessed that her brother Chavat and Elisa likely intended to use Arthur’s death to trigger a storm that Griffin was destined not to laugh through to the end, attempting to achieve all their years of effort in one fell swoop, dragging the Southwestern Continent, which was no longer as tense as before, into the quagmire of war.

For instance, despite her agitated state, she still sharply caught the issue in Ji Xiaodao’s words earlier and detected something suspicious.

Guivere clearly remembered the moment Arthur knew she actually heard his ’vulgar joke about goblins, fishmen, and ogres’ was not long ago, on Frost Moon Hymn Day 9, at a place she frequently stayed at, the [White Lion Headquarters] second floor. At that time... she had just promised Arthur that she would find a chance to visit the Shaven Empire someday, and both she and Arthur knew very well that it was not just a simple ’visit’.

In fact, from that moment on, Guivere Logan had already decided to entrust her life to that charming prince.

[How reckless~]

Since then, whenever she recalled telling that guy in earnest that ’she needed to investigate something’, her face flushed, and she felt she must have been bewildered to speak so inappropriately.

Completely lacking the reservedness expected of a princess!

Only, at that time, she had almost explicitly indicated her willingness to be with him, not minding him accompanying her for the rest of her life, on the same day, Holy Calendar Year 9571’s Frost Moon Hymn Day 9, he was assassinated at the Scarlet Palace.

She no longer had the opportunity to change her mind.

Because he could no longer hear it.

Since that day, Guivere Logan considered herself the lover of Arthur Boho. During this time, except for the night Arthur died and just recently during the rare ten minutes of relief in the Sin Duke’s Manor crying twice, this eldest princess, contrary to people’s assumptions, did not spend her days in tears. Instead, she had been striving in her own way to uncover Arthur’s murderer.

She merely wanted to avenge Arthur, with no other intentions.

Her initiative to propose to her brother the idea of joining the envoy group to the Shaven Empire was partly because she wanted to visit Telon, where Arthur was raised, and partly because she wanted to reach a consensus with ’potential allies’ who shared her purpose, like Lord Sin, a good friend of Arthur who also surely desired to unearth the real killer.

No one understood better than a member of the Griffin Royal Family, like Guivere, how terrifying an enemy hiding in the shadows and darkness could be. In fact, given the method by which Arthur Boho, the Shaven prince, was killed in full view of everyone, when her investigation reached a certain point, in other words, once it threatened the ’killer’, she could also be swiftly eliminated.
