With the defeat of Noctis, a member of the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings (True), handling the aftermath was unexpectedly straightforward.

Just as Princess Rainy’s overpowering fortune began to assert itself, the First Knight Order of Defrin Kingdom, led by its captain, arrived at the villa.

“Rescue Princess Rainy! Cut down anyone in the Fourth Knight Order who doesn’t swear allegiance to the Princess!”

The First Knight Order members arrived to support the four who had been fighting on the other side. It was essentially a civil war between Queen Veronica’s faction and Princess Rainy’s, and there was no need for us to intervene. Besides, we were too drained of mana to participate.

‘While they claim they came to protect Princess Rainy… their true intent must be different.’@@novelbin@@

If their purpose was truly to protect her, they should have arrived before midnight. It wasn’t hard to guess that the First Knight Order captain was using this moment to align with Rainy’s faction, now that her misfortune had ended, showing that his position wasn’t solely earned through skill.

Watching the knights clash from a safe distance, Princess Rainy quietly murmured, “It’s amusing to see the knight orders split like this. I’d bet the First Knight Order was at the royal palace when I went there three days ago.”

“Princess Rainy….”

“You’ll see more of this in the future. People’s attitudes change with shifting power.”
