Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 121
The sixth princess of the Human United Kingdom, Menna Melchior, is a 【Divine Observer】.
Since she could remember, she had the ability to see things that others couldn’t see inadvertently.
The future of people.
In Menna’s eyes, the world is like a tree, and each race it carries is like a branch, with living beings as the leaves on the branches.
They would grow, flourish, wither, and fall like real leaves, and Menna could see “how the leaves would grow” — the possibilities of the future.
Therefore, she could anticipate the development process of events, take targeted actions in advance to avoid certain situations, and lead them to the desired outcome she expected.
Menna believes that this is a future that has surpassed mere intuition. Only true gods can reveal it to her. It helps her, as a princess, guide all living beings onto the right path.
Hence, she refers to herself as the 【Revealer】.
Throughout, Menna has treaded cautiously with this extraordinary power beyond common sense. She dared not reveal a hint of it to anyone and rarely used it casually in unnecessary situations.@@@@
Moreover, Menna’s 【Revelation】 can only observe individual living beings each time. Considering privacy issues of others, the young princess usually only watches her own future, inferring the development patterns around her to fine-tune reality.
Until... when she turned ten years old, Crown Prince Torin Melchior unexpectedly died, shocking the entire court, and Menna herself.
Because in the future she observed, she had always lived a stable and uneventful life, without encountering any unforeseen events.
It shouldn’t have been like this.
Menna finally felt unease. For the first time, she proactively extended her “Revelation” to her second brother, Ben Melchior, and was shocked to see his future filled with bloodshed, scattered bones, and the posture of ascending to the throne.
Subsequently, with an anxious heart, she observed the futures of her siblings one by one, and the results left Menna disturbed for a long time.
The third prince, Patrick Melchior, led a rebellion, but Ben, well-prepared, suppressed it with thunderous force, ultimately dying on the battlefield.
The fourth prince, Devitt Melchior, colluded with a group known as the Blood Clan, attempting to seize Ben’s throne. However, a move short, after the failure, the Blood Clan killed everyone associated with him, silently exterminating hundreds.
The fifth princess, Lilya Melchior, dissatisfied with the power struggles among her royal brothers, secretly amassed strength, aiming to take control of the chaos within the kingdom. However, due to her own insufficient strength and excessive trust in close associates, she was assassinated by Ben’s skilled assassin just when success was within reach.
Crossing that line would put Menna in a precarious situation. Even with the unbelievable power of foreseeing the future, she wasn’t confident she could deceive everyone. After all, this power also had its limitations.
In the end, Menna subtly hinted at her elder sister Lilya, indirectly influencing her course of action.
Actually, there was no need to do anything particularly obvious. The goal was simply to slow down Lilya’s influence, preventing it from surpassing the patience limit of the other princes, so that the situation wouldn’t spiral out of control before the “Visitor” appeared.
In the future observed by Menna, Lilya had only one chance to establish a connection with the “Visitor.” Once missed, all would be lost.
Under Menna’s continuous covert adjustments, time passed.
Indeed, everything unfolded as revealed in the “Revelation.” Lilya, who had gained prominence, finally aroused suspicion among some princes and was compelled to go to the western frontier.
Yet, this was precisely the outcome the young princess anticipated.
Menna knew that Ben had manipulated the guards accompanying Lilya. They planned to launch a coup midway, attempting to stage it as a bandit raid and kill the fifth princess.
So, little Menna intentionally hinted at her sister, advising her to seek the company of her adventurer guild friend, the legendary adventurer Miss Scarlet Flame, and additionally bringing two thousand directly affiliated knights as guards.
Miss Scarlet Flame would detect anomalies in the group on the way and inform Lilya in advance, setting a trap to turn the tables on the rebels.
This incident would pique the interest of the “Visitor” who happened to be in the vicinity, initiating a preliminary contact with Princess Lilya.
The presence of Miss Scarlet Flame was also crucial. In the future seen by Menna, without her, even if Lilya encountered the “Visitor,” they would merely pass each other by, unable to form any connection.
In this way, everything was prepared.
To be honest, when the time came for them to part ways, Menna felt a bit anxious. The existence of the “Visitor” was too mysterious, and any involvement with Lilya would render the future extremely uncertain. The “Revelation” could only foresee the fact that Lilya would no longer die.
At a certain moment, Menna even considered revealing everything about the “Visitor” and the “Revelation” to her sister, urging her to establish a connection with it at all costs. However, doing so could potentially lead to unforeseen consequences, deviating from the path she had long envisioned. Therefore, Menna ultimately decided against it.
With an uneasy heart, she silently waited in the capital for over a month. Finally, news arrived from the frontlines reporting the fifth princess’s victory over the beastmen and her imminent return to the capital.
Only then did the heavy burden in Menna’s heart begin to lift.
She knew that the future had been altered.
