The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Chapter 124 - Changing My Appearance

It took a few minutes, and the Queen looked extremely nervous as she kept glancing behind her every second or so, trying to see if someone was coming down.

"Are you scared of your Royal Adviser?" I suddenly asked when I observed her behavior.

She shook her head. "I'm not scared of him, but of his connections. He has more than me, and I'm the Queen. He's a dangerous man, and you should be very careful around him without a doubt."

I nodded plainly.

I didn't think that I would have much trouble getting rid of the traitors inside the Ice Castle.

"Are you fine with me killing the traitors?"

That would be the quickest way to resolve everything, and I did not want to waste time here. I said a lot, but the more time I spent in this castle, the more time it gave Zero to escape my grasp.

The Ice Elf Queen pondered before answering, "No, please capture them if possible. If you can't, then kill them."

Then, after a few more seconds of struggle, she managed to open the doors to mine and Phoebe's prison cell.

"Can I ask a question before I go and solve this situation for you?"

She nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

"Do you know who I am? And do you know of a man named Zero?"

If that was their plan, then I had to admit that it wasn't a bad one whatsoever. It was actually kind of genius. After all, when I first arrived at the castle, she was the only one supporting us, and since people had died because of us, it was easy to put all the blame onto us and turn against the Queen.

"The Queen does not want to meet with any of you right now. She wants things to calm down before making an appearance," the Royal Adviser muttered with a hidden smirk.

"Who cares what she wants?! One of us just got murdered by those she welcomed into our territory!"

"Tell her that if she doesn't appear before us, we will form an alliance against her."

Many people wouldn't have been able to catch the subtle change of expression on the Royal Adviser's face. But I had definitely seen him smirk like a little snake. This was definitely part of his plan, and once he went to the Queen's chambers and noticed that she was gone, things were bound to go badly. After all, the Queen was the most important piece to his plan, and the fact that she had escaped to help us had been the last thing he expected to happen.

"Alright. I will go and bring the Queen here," the Royal Adviser finally said with an innocent smile as he turned around.

Right as he did so, I knew that I had to move as fast as possible and get to the Queen's chambers before he did. I moved as fast as I could, believing that I would make it before him.

I used the fairy's powers on myself and changed my appearance, making it easier to navigate inside the castle. And sure enough, I found the Queen's chambers, and I had to admit that they were much nicer than mine.

However, that wasn't the reason I was here.

I had a choice to make. Either I attacked the Royal Adviser and forced him to do what I said, or I could trick him just like he had tricked the Queen. After all, if everything went according to his plans, then the chances of Zero leaving were bound to reduce significantly.

That's why, with those thoughts, I used the fairies' powers once more and changed my appearance to that of the Ice Elf Queen. I sat on the chair made of ice in the corner of her room and acted like I was her.

Then, a few moments passed by, and the Royal Adviser entered the room.
