Bryen was a little shaken when she heard that, but suddenly, she remembered what Selvih had said, and it gave her courage.
Bryen took a deep breath, looked the man straight in the eye, and said, "Ratylous, are you questioning me?"
That's right, the man in front of Bryen was Ratylous, the father of Raven and the king of the Shareny kingdom.
Ratyous saw that Bryen looked a little angry at him, and this caused him to frown. Ratylous thought that Bryen was the one who killed his son; anyway, she and his son were always fighting, and she was always beating his son to the point that he had to stay in bed for a few days.
However, when he saw Bryen's eyes filled with anger and confidence, Ratylous felt that things were not as simple as he thought. Was it not Bryen who killed his son?
Bryen continued, "Ratylous, do you think I was the one who killed your son?"
When Ratylous heard Bryen say his line of thought, he was startled, but his face remained unchanged, as did his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent as he stared at her.
Ratyous's murderous intent was like a cloud of black smoke as it surrounded his body; his eyes were filled with murderous intent as they stared at Bryen, as if he wanted to use his aura to frighten her.
However, she was not afraid; on the contrary, Bryen calmly asked him back, making him a little skeptical about his own thinking.
Bryen continued: "Huh! You should remember that your kingdom is dependent on my resources. Just one word from me, and you guys won't be able to continue mining those resources."
"Ratylous, what motive do you think I had to kill your son? If I were to kill your son, would I still be sitting here? If I were to kill your son, would I bring his body back here?"
ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom "Finally, what did I kill Raven for?"
Questions poured over Ratylous's head like a bucket of water, calming him down. That's right; Bryen had no reason to kill Raven anyway.
Currently, the entire Shareny kingdom is dependent on Bryen's resources. With just one word from her, the Zumberos kingdom would recover those resources.
At that time, the Shareny kingdom would be engulfed in an energy crisis, and other organisations would immediately rush in to tear his kingdom to pieces.
Besides, even though Bryen often hit Raven, Raven never fought back because if Bryen was upset and reclaimed the current resources, he would be stripped of his prince status.
Or even worse, he would not be allowed to become the next king of the Shareny kingdom.
Therefore, Bryen couldn't possibly kill Raven because his role was no different from that of a puppet that was controlled by Bryen. On closer reflection, Bryen didn't seem to have any motivation to kill him.
Ratyous took a deep breath and asked, "I need to know the reason."
Bryen snorted and said, "Huh! He caused this himself. He wanted to pursue Selvih, but he was repeatedly rejected by that bitch. That's why he teamed up with Savuo to overthrow her."
"But he didn't expect that at that time Silutop would appear; he couldn't overthrow Selvih, and instead he was killed by Silutop."
"What?!" Ratyous shouted, his face filled with disbelief: "No way! Silutop can't be alive."
"Are you doubting my information?" Bryen glanced at Ratylous with a look as sharp as a knife.
He frowned and asked, "Why did Silutop appear? Why did he kill my son? Although Silutop may be able to stop Savuo from treason, he would definitely not kill my son."
That's right, Ratylous knew who Silutop was; he even knew that Savuo knew that Raven repeatedly flirted with Selvih but was rejected by her.
After all, he was the King of Shareny's kingdom and Raven's father, so he knew everything that Raven did; he just didn't say anything about it.
Especially when Raven turned to him to borrow 20 assassins, he already knew what Raven wanted to do.
Bryen shook his head and said, "At first, I had no intention of joining his fun. However, he asked me to help him if things didn't go according to his original plan."
"At that time, Selvih was about to fail because my curse ability weakened her. However, even though she was weakened, she still held some special cards that helped her defend herself, and even kill the 20 assassins Raven brought."
"Nonsense, bullshit!" A voice rang out, causing Ratyous to frown. He wanted to say the same thing, but someone rushed in and shouted.
Ratylous didn't need to turn around to know who it was; yes, it was his wife and Raven's mother, Impru.
She was a middle-aged woman with blond hair, and she was dressed in a medieval noble's dress. As soon as she entered the room, she immediately rushed to Raven's corpse and started sobbing: "My son...my son..."
At this moment, Imperu turned her head to look straight at Bryen, her eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent as she said: "You bastard! You are lying! Selvih is only a level 80 mage; how can she kill the 20 assassins he brought with him."
"Imperu, calm down!" Ratylous tried to advise her; before knowing the cause of Raven's death, he did not want to anger Bryen.
"Calm down?! Ratyous, did you know that this body belongs to our son? He's dead! not even a head! Are you saying I'm calm? How can I calm down when I am looking at my son's headless body?"
Imperu shouted angrily. She grabbed Ratylous's cloak and yanked it as if she wanted to tear it to pieces.
"Slap!"
Ratyous angrily waved his hand, slapping Imperu; the sound of the slap reverberated throughout the room.
The slapped Imperu lay sprawled on the ground, her face filled with disbelief. There was also a red handprint on her face, and drops of blood from her nose and mouth continuously dripped onto the ground.
The trembling Imperu reached out her hand to touch the place where she had been slapped, as if she couldn't believe that Ratylous had slapped her.
Her face felt extremely painful. She looked down at the ground and saw a small pool of blood. The burning sensation and the colour of the blood stimulated her brain.
Imperu slowly turned her head to look at Ratylous, her eyes filled with anger, disbelief, fear.... and all kinds of negative emotions.
"You hit me?" Imperu spoke while trembling.
Ratylous frowned; he didn't want to hit Imperu. He thought that if her ramblings made Bryen uncomfortable, the consequences he would suffer would be much worse.
"You beat me because of the bitch who killed your son?" Impru's voice resounded again, this time with anger.
"You..."
"Enough!" Ratyous shouted, "Imperu, I am investigating Raven's death. I know that his death saddens you, but that's not why you should jump to conclusions and slander others."
"Slander?! Ratylous! Are you still human? Your son was killed, and you are calmly talking to the murderer of your son?"
"Enough! Bryen wasn't the one to kill Raven. If you continue to riot, I will throw you out!" Ratyous decided not to make any further concessions.
"Throw me out? You said you loved me, but now you want to throw me out because of a fat monster?"
When Ratyous heard that, he got angry. He felt that Raven was stupid, and now Imperu was as stupid as Raven. He wondered why she didn't understand what the current situation was like.
Bryen frowned upon hearing that, and Ratylous saw that she was upset and shouted at Imperu, "Shut up! Imperu, get the hell out of here at once."
"I'm not going!" Imperu stood up angrily, the blood from her nose and mouth smeared on her face. Her angry eyes stared at Ratyous: "If you don't kill that bitch today, I will kill myself. Ratyous, you choose: me or that bitch."
"Imperu, shut up! Do you know what the current situation is? Didn't you hear what Bryen just said? The ones who killed Raven were Silutop and Selvih, not her. Why don't you understand?" Ratyous felt a terrible headache.
He also suspected Bryen at first, but in reality, she had no reason to kill Raven. Even if Ratyous tried to find excuses to slander her, there weren't any valid reasons.
Because of that, he didn't understand why Imperu thought that Bryen killed Raven. Did Raven's death drive her crazy?
In fact, Ratyous had many wives,more than 100. However, Impru was the one he loved the most and the only one who bore him a son.
However, Imperu's personality was extremely unfair; she always covered Raven's flaws, and she assumed that everything Raven did was right; if he was wrong, then it was just that everyone else was wrong.
This made Raven more spoilt, and he became a useless and difficult to control person who only knew how to flirt with women every day.
Even if Ratyous wanted to properly teach Raven, he was prevented by Imperu, so it could be said that Raven's death was partly caused by Imperu.
Imperu rolled her eyes at him. "Ratylous, do you mean that Raven deserved to be killed because he unsuccessfully flirted with that bitch Selvih?"
"I never said that!"
"You did! What if he flirted with that bitch? Our son is the prince of an ancient kingdom; how dare she refuse my son? How could that bastard kill my son?"
"Imperu, you also heard Bryen say Selvih and Silutop killed Raven because he joined forces with Savuo to overthrow her."
"So what?!" Imperu suddenly shouted: "You should remember that accompanying Raven were 20 assassins; their power was more than enough to burn that small kingdom to the ground. Why did 20 assassins like that die? Why is Raven dead but Bryen is alive?"
"Ratylous, don't you think it's all this fat bastard's plan? That bitch killed him because she didn't like our son flirting with other girls."
"Certainly so. If not, why is everyone dead but that bitch can still come back here with Raven's body?"
When Ratyous heard that he sighed, although he was also very confused, he wanted to hear what Bryen had to say. He couldn't blame Bryen anyway, he wanted to know what had happened.
Seeing Ratyous hesitate, Imperu shouted: "AAA!!! Ratyulous! Ratylous! Why can't you listen to me!"
Imperu went crazy; her tears and blood that were smeared on her face made her feel more like a mental patient than a queen.
"Bastard! I will kill you!" Imperu immediately pulled out a dagger and charged towards Bryen.
