Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 144: Diary Update Turbulent Empire (1/3)


[Location: Tino City, Prince's Mansion]

Louis is writing in his diary.

He picks up his pen to summarize recent events.

"After the Sapphire Dragon disaster, we've resumed dialogue with the two legendary dragon species."

"The conversation went very smoothly, and under the guise of the Great Han Chess Saint, we successfully persuaded the two legendary dragons, Sean and Fafnir."

"I invited them to attend my engagement ball."

"Firstly, to discuss subsequent matters."

"Secondly, to deter those coveting Beatrice's heart."

"As it turns out, this strategy worked quite well. Nobody dared to cause trouble at the ball except for Gregory Todd, who was used as a fool."

"The scheme by the dark side of the Love God against Marquis York was revealed."

"However, I quickly discovered that the method to poison Marquis York was through a carefully concocted food poison by the dark side's Poison Master."

"I began to reassess the high-caliber talents of this world."

"In this world lacking systematic chemical sciences, figures like the Deadly Poison Master have emerged, truly admirable."

"Thanks to the little swan, we saved Instructor Jino's eldest son and discovered the dark side's Poison Master."

"Still, there seems to be something odd about the little swan; she perceived this matter directly, as if she had foresight."

"In the future diary, I only mentioned this in the latest updates."

"So, I suspect the little swan might have crossed over from this world line."

"In this world line, I have spread the flames of war across the continent, so I told her:"

"'Olivia, please don't become a curse spirit, or I will spread the flames of war across the entire world until all living beings are obliterated.'"

"...and then I was mercilessly mocked."

As Louis wrote to this point, a wry smile appeared on his face.

Nonetheless, it didn't stop him from being suspicious of the little swan.

Especially during this journey to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, the little swan revealed too much information she shouldn't have known.

So, her suspicion only increased in Louis's eyes.

The only consolation was that he could be sure the little swan bore him no ill will.

Thus, he continued to write.

"Because of her guidance, the Druid invasion event, which should have taken place in six months, erupted early."

"But this time, they were the prey, and we were the hunters."

"We annihilated the invading enemies and fed them false information."

"Thereafter, the Imperial Capital will become their heart's lair of terror, for the Emperor seems still able to make moves."

"Of course, in reality, the Emperor's condition is rather poor."

"I can't help but speculate whether Beatrice's death and the original Lord's protection of Olivia in a previous life had other hidden facets."

"After all, if the Emperor was still around back then, it would be unlikely for him to abandon his daughter."

"Thus, I believe when Beatrice is crowned ten years later, Old Deng will either be dead or unable to intervene."

"Regrettably, all of this became unknown with the original Lord's demise."

"During the trip to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, I met my mother-in-law. Beatrice inherited her eye color, and Olivia inherited her long hair."

"As I suspected, Saint Louis's secret treasure comes from the current Hero Squad."

"Sadly, only two members of this squad are still alive."

Louis deliberately omitted mentioning Master Rogen in his diary.

Or rather, it reflected some of his own little considerations.

After all, Master Rogen's circumstances were evidently within the Emperor's calculations.

So he thought, perhaps it would be better not to record this in the diary.

After all, there was no danger, and even if his past self saw this information, it wouldn't cause any positive change for the future.

On the contrary, if a change occurred preventing the little swan from entering the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, she would surely regret it!

During the Grand Secret Realm, he could sense the little swan's emotions were fluctuating greatly; she had been waiting a long time to reunite with the Princess Consort.

Ultimately, he refrained from recording this matter when he concluded his writing and simply noted:

"Sean and Fafnir have returned from the Dragon Empire, and next, they will accompany us to the Tunisian Republic."

"I hope nothing goes awry during this honeymoon trip to Tunisia."

As he ceased writing and closed the original document, the future diary beside him began to emit a red glow.

"Is it finally starting? A brand new world line!"

Louis opened the future diary. Inside, he saw glimmers of light, with lines of text floating up and transforming into new words that fell back onto the pages.

When he looked at the contents, indeed, the future content had changed once more.

However, this time, he seemed to catch the scent of gunpowder between the lines.

"What exactly is going on?"

Louis's expression was somewhat bewildered.

In the previous round of future diary entries, the event most likely to endanger Beatrice's and his own safety was the uprising of the Master of Fury, years ahead in the timeline.

Further down the line, there would be a widespread continental magic disaster, orchestrated by the Demon King [Helmer], which had once annihilated the Hero Squad.

Then, the massive Gate of the Abyss opening event on the Pirate Islands would follow.

These incidents were quite far from the current timeline node.

He initially thought he still had ample time to change the future.

But now the situation seemed a bit off.

"During the visit to the Tunisian Republic, were we ambushed by the Tunisian Brotherhood?"
