Early the next morning, Caterina brought an undead in a black robe and a mask to the duel arena prepared for her by Snowy's mother. It was an open lot in the middle of a royal estate. To Caterina's anger and the undead, there were people standing outside the clearing.

"That's Caterina???Looks good!!"

"What's not bad!!, just a filthy illegitimate daughter!!"

"Look at it, that illegitimate girl still has an undead spirit, it's disgusting!!"

"That's it!!"

Listening to the insulting words of the nobles standing outside the clearing, Caterina clenched her teeth angrily, her fists clenched tightly, and her beautiful brown eyes were full of anger.

“... Calm down... Caterina ... They're trying to provoke you... I want you to lose this duel...", the undead saw that Caterina was angry, and immediately grabbed her, and said to her in an ethereal, cold voice.

“... I know. Caterina took several deep breaths before she suppressed the anger in her heart.

At this moment, a gorgeously dressed and frivolous-looking member of the royal family walked over and said to Caterina and the black-robed undead: "Miss Caterina, this duel is still ten minutes away. Excuse me, is there anything else you have to prepare??, for example, to let your filthy undead lover give you some powers like a curse??"

"Frayne!!!, you !! of soul," Caterina immediately raised her fist and struck at the royal family member's insulting words.

The royal family member was unmoved. Because the undead who had followed Caterina here had held her back. Speaking of which, though, the royal would have liked that Katerina had beaten him, because then the duel wouldn't have to take place. The charge of beating the royal family is enough to put Caterina to death!!

“... Calm down... Caterina ... Calm down... Don't be swayed by those tricks...", the undead in some black robes, using the undead's great power, pulled Caterina aside before speaking to her.

"Why??They say that about you, why aren't you angry??" Caterina asked a little angrily as she looked at the undead who had stopped her.

The undead was silent for a moment, and then replied, "... Not angry... It's impossible... But it's not yet... When angry... He's Bai Xue's current husband... This... I know it... I don't need to... What are you doing... I'll do it myself..."

"I hope so..."

It turned out that the royal family member who looked very frivolous was Bai Xue's current husband. And the undead who came here with Caterina is Snow White's former husband 'William'.

I don't know if it's the relationship between hostility and hatred, William always feels that Bai Xue's current husband is a pawn planted by Bai Xue's queen mother. A very important chess piece, without him, her control over Bai Xue and the country will be weakened!!

At this time, Bai Xue, who was dressed in a queen's dress, and an old woman who looked to be only in her fifties walked out of the manor's house. It was obvious that the old woman was Bai Xue's biological mother, and she planned to use Bai Xue to control the entire country.

"My sister is dressed like that, is she very beautiful??" Caterina asked William on the side with some resentment, looking at Snow and the old woman.

“... Truly... You don't look as good as your sister... But I think if you can wear that... Definitely much better than her... At the very least... That doesn't look like a controlled puppet..."William glanced up at Bai Xue and whispered.

"She's going to be very sad to hear you say that. Katerina smiled and said with great satisfaction.

“... Sad... When I was stabbed by you... But she didn't want to stay with me... That's what it's called sadness..."For Bai Xue, William is now very angry. He didn't think that a wife who had just been married for a long time would abandon her husband and go to a role that she didn't know how to do...

At this moment, Shirayuki and the old woman came to the clearing. After looking around at everyone in the clearing, the old woman smiled contemptuously, and then said to them, "Because of some negligence on the part of Katerina Iboha, the holiness of our Queen has been taken over by a filthy commoner. So she should be put to death!!!However, she is also the blood of the deceased Majesty. Her Majesty the Empress, who remembered her old love, opened up and gave her a chance. If she can defeat the warrior chosen by Her Majesty, then she will be pardoned for all her sins!!"

“... Any idea what I'm thinking right now... I want to push her down a pit full of poisonous snakes... Listen to her screams... Laughing..."William's soul fire reddened slightly, and he whispered a little coldly.

"If you do that, call me. Katerina smiled slightly, and said in the same whisper.

It was clear that Caterina and William had similar personalities, after all, both of them were now thinking about how to torture, Snow White's queen mother.

"Now, let's meet our Caterina rival!!Vemles!!" As the old woman finished speaking, two humans, or undead, dressed in robes and masks like William, suddenly appeared in the clearing.

Because the two of them appeared suddenly, most of the royals and nobles present were taken aback. Moreover, Bai Xue can't help but be a little strange, logically speaking, in this duel, Caterina has only one opponent, but now...

Although she had doubts in her heart, Bai Xue did not ask what was going on. Because her real mother, is staring at her. That gaze frightened Bai Xue, who was not suitable for sitting on the throne at all.

“... I'm so sorry... Ma'am, I remember duels of this kind ... It's all one-on-one duels ... Don't you think... Her Majesty's approach... Is it a great insult to the royal family... To know the seventh of the Proverbs of the Vane royal family... It's that the royal family must be absolutely fair and just..."Just when Bai Xue was frightened, William, who had come with Caterina, suddenly walked out and asked the old woman.

The old woman, who was originally staring at Bai Xue so that she didn't dare to speak, was stunned when she heard William's question. Originally, she just wanted to kill Caterina and humiliate her in front of the royals and nobles. But now it has become a handle, you must know that most of these people don't want Bai Xue to be the queen. If one is not good, it is likely to push Shirayuki off the throne!!

"Caterina is a knight of the sixteenth order, and these two are both mages of the fourteenth order, so it is very unfair to these two. That's why Her Majesty made this decision. Bai Xue's current husband, Fren, saw that something was wrong, so he came out.
