The next morning, Jiang Yi got up and left his room. As soon as he sat down on the sofa in the hall, Chen Kun and Natasha walked in with triumphant expressions.
From their demeanor, it was clear they had achieved a great victory the previous night.
"Teacher, all the Eagle Country royal assassins who entered the manor last night were eliminated by us, not a single one left!"
"We only took an hour! Although those assassins were top-notch, they were no match for us!" Natasha said to Jiang Yi with pride.
"Well done, I'm giving each of you a commendation," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
In fact, Jiang Yi had already anticipated the outcome. Those Eagle Country royal assassins were no match for the castle guards. No matter how many assassins they sent, they would all perish.
Now, the Eagle Country royal family must have no assassins left, as they were all annihilated last night.
"Teacher, we plan to give you a surprise!" Natasha said.
"What surprise?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Last night, I caught someone in the woods outside the castle. She tried to escape, but she couldn't get away from us in the end!" Natasha said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi became even more curious, wondering who Natasha had captured.
"Bring her in!" Chen Kun called out towards the outside of the hall.
"Yes!" A castle guard responded, then turned and walked towards the courtyard outside.
A few minutes later, two castle guards brought a woman in from outside the hall.
However, upon seeing the woman's face, Jiang Yi was stunned. This woman was none other than Princess Menasha of Eagle Country.
Menasha no longer had her former elegance; she appeared disheveled and distressed.
Jiang Yi was surprised that Natasha had captured Menasha. It must be that Menasha had personally overseen things outside the manor last night and was then caught by Natasha.
"Miss Menasha, please make yourself comfortable and sit down!" Jiang Yi said to Menasha with a smile. "I didn't expect it to be you. You must have had a difficult night staying in my manor!"
"Jiang Yi, stop your nonsense! You're in big trouble!"
"I am a princess of the Eagle Country royal family, and my status is supreme. How dare you detain me? And you are a person from Huaxia! If this gets out, the entire Eagle Country will not let you go! You have insulted not only me, but our royal family and the entire Eagle Country!"
"Apologize to me, and then release me properly, or you're finished! Oh, and you must have Natasha executed. She locked me in a cowshed last night and made me stay with a bunch of cows. Even worse, she slapped me, and my face is still swollen." Menasha said aggressively to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was not intimidated at all; instead, he couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Menasha asked, furrowing her brows.
"Miss Menasha, at this point, you're still putting on airs with me. Today is the election. You should know very well that your father has no chance of winning. After today, your father will no longer be king, and you will no longer be a princess, at most you'll be considered a noble of the Eagle Country royal family."
"Furthermore, you, a dignified princess of Eagle Country, hired so many ruthless assassins. Before this, who knows how many people have died at their hands? You and your father are executioners, more like ruthless demons. Even if I kill you, no one will stop me," Jiang Yi said with a smile to Menasha.
Menasha fell silent, her face grim. She was well aware of her current predicament.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, because after today's election, you will no longer pose any threat to me! You are a member of the Eagle Country royal family, and how you are dealt with will be Prince Matthew's affair, not mine!"
"However, you cannot leave the manor yet. To prevent you from playing any tricks, stay in the castle honestly until the election is over! After the election, I will release you immediately!"
"The election will end today, so you will regain your freedom soon." Jiang Yi looked at Menasha.
Menasha's eyes were filled with anger and resentment.
"Natasha, from now on, you will accompany Princess Menasha!" Jiang Yi said to Natasha. "After all, Miss Menasha is a princess of Eagle Country, so don't lock her in the cowshed. It's too disrespectful to our dear princess."
"Yes!" Natasha responded, understanding that Jiang Yi wanted her to keep an eye on Menasha.
"Jiang Yi, don't celebrate too early!"
"My father may not lose the election to Prince Matthew today. My father has been king for so many years and has established so much influence. There will always be loyal nobles who follow my father!"
"We'll see. When my father successfully becomes king, I will still be a princess, and I will make you pay dearly for everything you've done!" Menasha said furiously to Jiang Yi.
Menasha had not given up yet; she still held onto a sliver of hope.
"Your father's heinous acts as king have been exposed by many media outlets. Your father is known as the most detestable sinner in Eagle Country's history. He is a street rat that everyone wants to beat. Even those most loyal to your father would not dare to collude with him anymore!"
"Your father has absolutely no chance of winning the election!" Jiang Yi stated.
"Jiang Yi, you are shameless!"
"I've found out that all the dirt on my father was exposed by Shadow, your subordinate. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have reached this point!" Menasha said, grinding her teeth in hatred.
"Miss Menasha, I admit that all the dirt on your father was exposed after I had people investigate it. You can't blame me for this; you can only blame your father. If he hadn't committed so many heinous acts, I wouldn't have had any dirt to expose, even if I wanted to."
"My methods are far inferior to your father's!"
"Back then, your father, along with the royal family of the Mei Kingdom, used Jiang Wanli to hunt down my master and my family. Then they falsely accused my master and father of developing poison to harm people worldwide. Even after they died, they were slandered by countless people! The truly shameless one is your father; he is simply unworthy of being human," Jiang Yi said in a deep voice.
"My father cannot be blamed for this; it's your master's fault for not handing over the drug formula obediently. My father killed him; he brought it upon himself!" Menasha retorted.
