"You mean for us to counterfeit this currency, then circulate it widely in the market, exchange it for their gold coins, and make their paper money lose credibility!"
"Gamma is so clever. This way, we can easily crush the Great United Company!"
"However, the power behind the Great United Company is The Order! We can't openly act against The Order right now! This would affect our future plans!"
"I understand. We need a third-party force to create the counterfeit currency, then we'll sit back and watch them fight, ultimately emerging as the victor!" Gamma said.
The Mitsugoshi Company's visible backer is Viscount Olba, both part of the Fenrir faction, so a direct confrontation isn't ideal.
"That's about it! Now we just need to wait and see!"
"Understood!"
...Princess Rose traveled to her homeland, the Oriana Kingdom of Art.
By then, it was already dark.
As Princess Rose stepped off the train, a conductor stopped her.
"Hello, madam, you didn't buy a ticket!"
"You don't recognize me?" Princess Rose asked in surprise.
The last time she passed through here, most people knew she was Princess Rose.
"No, I don't!"
"I bought a ticket!" Rose said.
At the same time, Rose took out her ticket to prove her innocence.
The other person took the ticket from Princess Rose's hand.
"This ticket is fake! It's not a real ticket!"
"How is that possible? I bought it on the train!" Rose said.
The conductor smiled, and in front of Princess Rose, tore up the original ticket and threw it into the trash can.
"Security! Someone here is riding the train without a ticket and wants to hit me!" the conductor shouted.
Immediately, many soldiers appeared nearby.
"Who is it! How dare you disturb The Order of the train station! Seize her!"
The soldiers appeared so quickly, it was as if they had been nearby all along.
"I am Princess Rose of Oriana!"
Princess Rose drew her sword, pointing it at everyone, and said.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness Princess Rose, and she looks nothing like this!"
"Exactly, exactly! I've seen her too, she's a fake!"
"This person didn't buy a ticket and dares to impersonate Princess Rose! How shameless!"
The surrounding area was filled with curses.
Princess Rose recalled Alexia's words.
"I advise you to go home and take a look!"
She encountered such a situation as soon as she entered Oriana, it seemed things were very serious.
"How dare she impersonate Princess Rose! Who doesn't know that Princess Rose is studying abroad in the Midgar Kingdom!"
The uninformed public also joined in the 罵罵.
"I really am Princess Rose, not an imposter!"
"How dare you impersonate our beloved Her Royal Highness Princess Rose! Go to hell!"
Someone in the crowd threw a rotten egg.
Then four or five others joined in the cursing, throwing rotten eggs together.
Princess Rose dodged them with her agile movements.
The surrounding Oriana soldiers surrounded her, leaving no escape. She had no chance to flee.
Magic power burst from Rose's body.
"Move aside, I don't want to hurt you!"
"Bold madman! It is our duty to protect the peace of this land, how can we just move aside!"
All the soldiers looked at Rose as if they were ready to die.
Rose did not want to get entangled with them. She directly swung her sword, injuring a few people, and broke through the encirclement.
Inside the palace, Duke Doem picked up the cup from the table and smashed it fiercely.
"Damn it, why did Princess Rose come back at this time? I was only one step away, just three more days and I could have completely controlled that old man!"
At this time, the King of Oriana had not been completely controlled by Duke Doem.
Grute felt muddled every day, as if he frequently experienced intermittent memory loss.
He had felt something was wrong half a month ago and had his queen change his food, but the result was the same.
He knew very well who was behind it: Duke Doem.
Duke Doem, by his own identity, should not have been able to become a Duke, but he had taken up the position of Duke. All of this was due to the power behind him.
Grute now felt utterly disheartened. He was like an insect in a spiderweb, able to struggle but everything was futile.
He had tried to send messages more than once, but they all fell on deaf ears.
"Rose! I can't give you up after all!" Grute said, picking up a portrait of Rose.
He had told the queen about the food problem more than once, but the result never changed. He could guess what was going on with the queen... Duke Doem had not yet gained full control of Oriana. Unless the King completely fell under his control, the nobles would only observe and not acknowledge his position.
"Damn it, just one step! Just one step!"
"Someone!"
"My Lord!"
A member of The Order walked in.
"At all costs, Princess Rose must be stopped. She cannot be allowed to see Grute!"
"Yes!"
Epsilon was closely observing Princess Rose's movements.
Princess Rose had already forced her way through the train station and was running towards the palace.
A large number of soldiers were chasing her from behind.
Once inside the Royal Capital, many people recognized Princess Rose's identity.
Members of The Order suddenly appeared and directly attacked Princess Rose.
Princess Rose was attacked from both front and back. The enemies in front of her each possessed considerable magical power and seemed to be quite strong.
"Why didn't I listen to Alexia sooner!" Princess Rose deeply regretted.
One of The Order soldiers in front was suddenly cut down.
Epsilon appeared, and at the same time, a dozen Shadow Garden members appeared.
Epsilon had already received orders to assist Princess Rose in entering the palace.
In less than ten seconds, all the interceptors in front were eliminated.
"We will assist you!" Epsilon said.
"Thank you!"
Princess Rose advanced towards the palace.
Epsilon led her people, escorting Princess Rose all the way, and successfully brought her into the palace.
Doem had no choice but to have Princess Rose's mother come forward to stop Princess Rose.
Although Doem also knew swordsmanship, his strength was not as good as Princess Rose's.
Asking him to stop Rose was simply impossible.
As soon as she entered the palace, Princess Rose's mother appeared before Rose.
A man in black held Princess Rose's mother hostage.
"Rose, save me!"
"Let go of my mother!"
"Princess Rose, if you put down your weapon, I will let go of your mother!"
The next second, Epsilon appeared behind that person and cut him down with a single sword strike.
"Keep going!"
"Please protect my mother!"
"No problem!"
Princess Rose's mother still tried to struggle and stop Rose, but Epsilon knocked her unconscious with a single hand chop.
