At the same time, in the same city, S.K.Y. and Taurus were seated opposite each other in the Adventurers' Guild, both beaming with satisfaction. Their guild, [Death of Love], had become one of the top ten guilds in Cathay, famous for its strength and ranking in the top three.

The success was largely due to Taurus' financial backing, which enabled them to recruit a multitude of talented players. Now, the guild boasted 12,000 members, including 500 core members who were elite players and employees of Fortune 500 companies, each earning a substantial monthly salary.

In addition, the guild had 6,000 second-rate members and 5,500 third-rate members who were essentially cannon fodder. Despite this impressive roster, they were still short of their recruitment target, and continued their efforts with posters and online forums.

The investment from Patriarch Zhang ensured that money was not an issue for their endeavors. Their association with the Direct army further facilitated their success in Jade City.

They were eagerly anticipating the execution of their plan to eliminate the Black-hearted Princess, expecting to gain artifacts, unique equipment crates, rare equipment, and numerous other items.

After their celebration, Taurus suddenly asked S.K.Y., "Should we report to Lord Blei about Black-hearted Princess and the succubus working together? To annoy her?" They recalled a past incident at the city gates where Black-hearted Princess mocked them, and they were chased away by the girls in her guild. This memory still harbored resentment in them. Unfortunately, as average players, they had no authority to lodge a complaint, so Black-hearted Princess had remained unscathed until now.

At this point, they realized they needed to take action themselves to make their higher-ups believe the rumor, even though they lacked concrete evidence. Sometimes, evidence wasn't necessary to convict someone, especially someone like Black-hearted Princess, who was considered a public enemy.

However, their success hinged on gaining the trust of their superiors. Fortunately for S.K.Y. and Taurus, they had been scouted by Emperor Richard and assigned to serve Blei, who valued them more than typical subordinates. This position gave them a potential advantage in their quest to trouble Black-hearted Princess.

"Yes. If we can lock her up in prison for a few days, then our plan will be successful for sure!" S.K.Y. remarked, pushing his non-existent gold-rimmed glasses up his nose. Their main concern was preventing the level thirty [Princess] from leaving Jade City, which would jeopardize their assassination plan.

"Yes. In that case, we don't have to worry that she might run away!" Taurus said excitedly, slapping his thigh.

"The problem is, I'm not sure if Lord Blei will believe our mere accusations," S.K.Y. expressed his concern.

"True. But what do we have to lose by trying?" Taurus said with a chuckle, brushing off S.K.Y.'s concern.

"That is true. I'm just afraid we might annoy Lord Blei and upset him," S.K.Y. admitted, considering the potential repercussions.

"Well… Why don't we bring some gifts to the palace for Lord Blei? There's a saying, nobody slaps a smiling face. As long as we seem sincere, I'm sure Lord Blei would be understanding," Taurus suggested, thinking of a solution.

"Fine. We'll buy some gifts and take them to the palace right now," S.K.Y. agreed, adjusting his non-existent gold-rimmed glasses. He stood up promptly and followed Taurus into the commercial district.

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated house in the commoner's district, Yaeger was unaware of the impending schemes of her adversaries. Even if she had known, it probably wouldn't have concerned her.

Aurora, in the same house, was practicing walking. She found it challenging, as it had been a long time since she last walked. As she moved back and forth, she gradually started feeling better, resisting the urge to break into a sprint.

Fiat was still processing the reality of the situation. Normally, someone who had been bedridden for years wouldn't regain mobility without resting for many days after being cured. Yet, his sister's rapid recovery was extraordinary. ‘Princess is truly a deity!' he thought, his respect for Yaeger bordering on worship.

"Princess, I'm good!" Aurora declared excitedly, clenching her fists as she looked at Yaeger. The feeling of robust health was exhilarating.

"That's good to know," Yaeger responded with a light nod, acknowledging the benefits she had gained from healing Aurora. It had reinforced the value of her medical skills. ‘I have studied Transcendents, Martial Artists, and someone from another world. Now I only need normal people. Where can I find a normal person to study?' she pondered. Her first thought was gangsters from the Small Sword Group, but that option was no longer viable.

‘Why don't I find a terminally ill patient from the hospital… Forget it. Let's not do anything too shocking,' Yaeger thought, considering the potential consequences. Curing such a patient could attract unwanted attention and complications. ‘It seems like a plan, but it's still risky enough,' she mused, weighing her options against the backdrop of a rapidly awakening Earth.

‘Forget it, let's worry about real life once I'm not in the game,' she decided. Turning to Aurora and Fiat, she instructed, "Don't tell anyone that I cured Aurora. If people ask, just say it was divine intervention."

"This… How can this be? It was clearly you who cured me, Princess!" Aurora protested, pinching her skirt anxiously. She was naive and didn't grasp the deeper implications.

Fiat, on the other hand, understood the situation better. He knew that if word got out, [Princess] would likely face significant trouble. The sudden recovery of a long-term bedridden patient could cause a stir in Jade City.

"It would be very troublesome for me if people knew," Yaeger explained, gently stroking Aurora's head.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Aurora's expression grew pale. "So, let the divines take credit. Although you might not like the divines that much," Yaeger said softly.

Aurora didn't deny her dislike for the divine. If there were a truly omnipotent and omniscient God, she wondered why she had suffered so much. ‘If there must be a divine in this world, then Princess will be my only God,' she thought, gazing at Yaeger with a newfound reverence.
