"Wait a minute! Isn't this too mystical? How did she know I'm the king as soon as she came up? And what's with the consecutive attacks afterwards?!" Aya was indignant.

This guy seems to know my thoughts just like Quik has! Huh? Thoughts? No way?!

Aya glared at Tiran, who had a smug expression on his face. "Tell me! Did you cheat?" Such confident combo moves must be cheating. He must have sensed Aya's role card through their master-servant contract and executed a flawless strategy.

"Well, the rules didn't say anything about it..." Tiran coughed twice, avoiding eye contact.

Due to someone cheating, the authority of the first round's commands was directly cancelled. After declaring that no extraordinary means should be used to obtain identity information, the second round was named "King Game: Kill the King," and the war to kill the king and ascend the throne commenced once again.

"Hmph, come and fight, everyone! I love war!"

As the king, His Majesty was the first to play a card, decisively attacking Tiran with a sword.

"Hey, hey! Dad, aren't you worried about friendly fire?" Tiran protested unhappily when he saw his health decrease slightly.

"Hehe, my foolish daughter, do you think your father is a fool? Even if you are my teammate, I'm sure you have a traitorous heart. A disloyal knight is better off dead." Granzon had a noble and icy expression.

"Tsk, then don't blame me." Tiran gritted his teeth and struck back with a sword.

Next up was Iomar to play a card, but the Crusader remained silent.

"Iomar? It's your turn to play a card," Delia, the referee, approached and reminded. Suddenly, she noticed Iomar struggling with his head down, trembling and sweating while holding the card.

"Are... are you okay?" Aya sitting beside him reached out and tentatively poked him.

"Your Majesty! I apologize!" Iomar suddenly stood up and earnestly apologized to Granzon, "I drew the 'Lord' role card, and even though it's just a game, I absolutely cannot tolerate the thought of harming Your Majesty. I..."

"..." Everyone present.

Well, it seems that the knight isn't suitable for playing this game. Once the villain role card is drawn, it's a tragedy.

Undoubtedly, within one round, Iomar was targeted and killed by everyone, being eliminated from the game. Once the 'Lord' role card was exposed, there was no doubt that he would become the primary target.

Because during such a time, if you don't act... Huh? He's a rebel, and you're not killing him? Then you're definitely a rebel too. So even the 'Assassin,' who is also a rebel, has to protect themselves from exposure.

Almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one assassin and one lord to begin with, and now that they eliminated the assassin, the king's side would win.

The only one with an explosive mindset was Aya.

Ah, the assassin deck. Aya stared at the cards predominantly black in color in her hand, feeling that this game was too unfriendly to her. In the previous game, she was lucky enough to draw the king but was directly killed by Tiran. Now, she drew the assassin ally but couldn't handle it at all. How can she continue playing?

The assassin's skill card is the strongest among all the roles. With enough luck, like Tiran in the previous game, it is even possible to kill the king in one round. The 'Assassin' role card has four health points, and with good luck, they can take on two opponents at once. But with three opponents in front of her now, if she reveals her identity recklessly, even one person attacking with a skill card can kill her.

Now she has to be cautious. Before confirming who is the king among the remaining three, she must not easily use her exclusive skill card.

"Activate 'Insight,' targeting Tiran," Aya cautiously used the skill 'Insight' that came with each role card. Using it three times on any target would reveal their role card.

"Oh? Suspecting me to be the assassin?" Tiran squinted and looked at Aya.

"Well, Princess Sama already said you're definitely a traitor. It would be dangerous if you really are the assassin," Aya nonchalantly threw dirty water, her heart pounding. But at this moment, she had to disrupt the situation herself to have a chance of successfully assassinating.

As for the target, Tiran just had a confrontation with the king, making him the best target. Who should you betray if not the one betraying you in such a situation?

"Aya makes a good point, Your Highness. I apologize. 'Longsword.' " Mimi echoed, not even intending to use 'Insight.' She directly attacked Tiran with a sword, reducing his health by another point.

"Hey, Mimi, why are you here too?!" Tiran was shocked. Aya was one thing, she was often bullied by herself, so she could understand if she had a grudge against her. But Mimi...

Seeing Mimi's glowing eyes, Tiran suddenly understood what her maid was thinking. The first stage of the King's killing game was a camp battle, and after this stage ended, if there were more than two survivors in the winning camp, they would switch decks and enter the second stage of the final battle.

In other words, there was only one King, and if they didn't eliminate everyone else, they couldn't obtain the ultimate command power.

And Mimi's motivation for participating in this game was probably because the King told her that the winner could obtain absolute command power, right?

Thinking of this, Tiran broke out in cold sweat. Not good, if Mimi won, she might not even be able to protect her integrity, let alone her reputation.

In this case, she couldn't care about anything else, she absolutely couldn't be eliminated at a time like this!

In the next few turns, a thrilling card-based battle unfolded. Tiran continuously activated the knight's skill cards and used the upgraded deck to confront the others head-on, even though it was confirmed that she had the identity card of a [Knight], the King and Mimi still didn't intend to let her go.

"Die, you traitor to the kingdom!" After exhausting all of Tiran's [Guard] cards, the King, who was also heavily injured, coldly laughed and used the [Short Crossbow] to take Tiran out.

"Tsk... Isn't ganging up on someone a bit too much!" With her life points reduced to zero, the princess also exited the game.

"Well then, let's continue our fight... huh?"

As King stepped away gracefully, he suddenly noticed that his character's life points had also been reduced to zero, and blinked in confusion.

"[Ambush], King Sama, sorry about that." Aya shook the [Ambush] skill card in her hand and let out a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the previous brawl, after Tiran used her exclusive skill, the remaining two revealed their identities by using their exclusive skills to fight back against her. It was even luckier that Granzon, who had the [King] identity card, was also heavily injured by Tiran, it was simply perfect. As an assassin, it would be a waste of her identity card if she didn't reap the benefits at this time.

"The King has perished, the game is over." The referee declared the end of the battle.

"Damn sneaky bastard!"

Tiran immediately jumped up from her seat, "I told you, you must be the assassin!"

"Damn it, I actually forgot there was an assassin!" The King suddenly realized, hey hey, how did this fool manage to become the King?

So the game naturally moved on to the final stage, the King's Game.

"Hey, I say, this game doesn't originally have a final stage, right?" Tiran squeezed the number plate in her hand and glanced at her father beside her.

"Because the game will be boring without a target, right?" The King sighed, it's a pity, he originally thought he could take the position of the winner and use his command power to... cough cough, that's already outside the scope of this story.

"So, you mean I can command anyone or several people here to do something, right?" Aya pointed at herself.

"Although I feel a bit reluctant... but yes."

"Anything?" Aya's expression suddenly became ridiculous.

"That's right... but it must be within limits! It has to be something achievable, without crossing the line!" Tiran, seeing Aya's expression, felt that this person had malicious intentions and quickly added.

"Aya, my lady!"

Mimi suddenly walked solemnly to Aya, bowing respectfully to her.

"W-What's... What's the matter?" Aya was still deeply impressed by the terrifying actions of the maid that day, and this bow startled her.

"My and Her Highness's number plates are number three and number four. If you could command Her Highness and me to rest in the same room for one night, I would be extremely grateful! From now on, your words will be second only to Her Highness's commands for me!"

"Hey hey, Mimi, isn't this going a bit too far?!" Tiran was dumbfounded.

"Really?!" It seemed quite tempting! If she agreed, not only would she no longer be punished by Mimi for various mistakes, but she could also ask her for help with massages and warming the bed...

But Tiran's sinister gaze made Aya hesitate to nod.

Ah ah ah, I'm in a dilemma. On one hand, there's a obedient maid who can come at any time, and on the other hand, there's the cruel revenge that the princess may unleash at any moment. By the way, are there any other options?

"Dad, have you finished dealing with the things you left behind? Can't you take a rest now?"

At that moment, the door to the living room was pushed open, and Crown Prince Brad walked in looking exhausted. It seemed like he had just finished dealing with the pile of mess that Dad had dumped on him.

But as soon as he entered, he saw Dad, Ioma and Diluya sitting silently on one side, while Miss Aya trembled in fear, squeezed between my dear, little Mia and me.

"What's going on with this chaotic scene?"

Crown Prince slipped over to Dad's side and whispered, "The situation seems complicated. I'll explain it to you later. For now, just watch the show and don't act rashly, or you might get killed."

After a while, the king remembered the important matter again:

"Oh, by the way, little Brad, how are things going at the security office? Did you finish the preparations for the New Year Celebration?"

"The security work? I've already checked the locations of every patrol team and every outpost. There's no problem... Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"The Church might be planning something during the celebration, and there are some people who have objections to the successor as well. So, we better increase our vigilance a bit. Although we have the Iron Wall Battalion, just in case..."

"The Church, huh?" Brad frowned, "I understand."
