"I want you to take me back to the capital and reclaim the throne!"
"In return, I promise that everyone in the Valen Empire, including myself, will become a believer of the True God Cult!"
"I will assist you in achieving a new world where everyone is equal and there is no slavery!"
Dolores said in a hoarse voice.
"I can achieve such a world without you."
"Moreover, I am not particularly interested in your empire's affairs. If anyone dares to stop me, they can simply be eliminated."
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
"That's true, you can certainly do that. But there is much historical knowledge about the Dark Queen era, what exactly happened during the ancient wars, where have those powerful beings from ancient myths gone, and can the True God Cult regain its former glory? You will likely miss out on all of it."
"After all, the True God Cult can crush everything and become the ruler of the world. But if history is dark, then the resurgence of the True God Cult will merely be another dark rise in the eyes of future generations."
"Do you want the believers who follow you to bear the infamy of all ages?"
Dolores asked, neither subservient nor overbearing.
*Clap clap clap!*
"Interesting. To be the first in line for succession, you indeed have some substance. At least you can guess what I desire."
Zhang Chen lightly applauded, praising her.
"The really ancient texts about history will not be displayed in the library here."
"The entire world is deliberately suppressing the truth of history. How could they openly place the real content in the library for anyone to casually flip through?!"
"The royal library of the Valen Empire possesses many well-preserved ancient books, intended to allow successive monarchs to clearly understand the truth of history and thus avoid tragedies."
"Similarly, there are also many lost technologies and cultivation methods within."
"The comprehension ability of each emperor varies, so the changes they can bring to the world also differ."
"I am the most talented among the emperor's children. If you can help me ascend the throne, I will elevate the strength of the True God Cult by another level."
"At the same time, those ancient books that should rightfully belong to my inheritance will also belong to you."
The woman spoke with increasing excitement, revealing all her trump cards without hesitation.
Given her current state, it was indeed difficult for her to offer any other leverage.
Fortunately, these chips were sufficient.
"Well said. However, first I need to confirm if you are Princess Dolores."
Zhang Chen said with a slight smile.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the girl couldn't help but lower her head.
In her current state, she would be considered terrifying even as a beggar on the street.
Where was there any trace of her former princess's appearance and grace?!
Those who wished to harm her had used this method to break her mentally and physically, making her suffer while alive, forever unable to appear in public.
Even those closest to her would have difficulty recognizing her now. How could she prove her identity?
"You have met Princess Dolores before, haven't you?"
Zhang Chen asked Jiexi Ya and Malana.
"Yes, True God!"
"Mhm!"
The two women nodded.
"Then, please help me see, is she Princess Dolores?"
Zhang Chen asked, pointing at the girl.
"This... Ah!"
Jiexi Ya initially found the matter somewhat difficult.
But the moment she looked at Dolores's face, she let out a surprised cry.
Malana's eyes also revealed shock!
Dolores quickly lowered her head, trying to cover her face with her messy hair.
However, contrary to her expectations, what fell down were not clumps of tangled, messy hair, but strands of smooth, waterfall-like black silk.
She then looked at her hands, which had also returned to their fair and delicate state, even adorned with her favorite crimson nail polish.
She hurriedly reached out to touch her face, which was no longer marred by ravines and scars, but was instead exceptionally delicate and smooth.
"I am..."
Dolores's eyes instantly reddened. She had thought she would never recover her former appearance in this lifetime.
For this, she had grieved and cried for a long time, and after much internal struggle, she had managed to persevere until now.
She never expected Zhang Chen to restore her appearance with just a wave of his hand.
"That's right, it is Princess Dolores. She has a unique eye color; her left eye is green, and her right eye is blue!"
Malana nodded and said. As the guardian of the Valen Empire, she knew almost every member of the royal family.
However, she only protected the people and never participated in the power struggles of the royal family.
