Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1787

Back when Xyla Quest’s father returned home with the painting, she did have her suspicions.

For some reason, she felt that the emperor didn’t look like those on television or in other paintings…

That emperor was unusually thin. It completely changed her mind about what an emperor should look like…

Back then, her impression of emperors was plump-looking men.

When Xyla thought of this, she shuddered and turned to look at Stanley Batton’s face. “I… I think he must be a god…”

Stanley raised his brows. “Why are you so sure?” he asked as he looked at Xyla.

Xyla immediately told Stanley about how her father acquired a painting of the emperor from a monk.

“Back then, the monk said that the emperor entered his dream… After waking up, the monk drew the emperor’s portrait so that he wouldn’t forget it…

“When I was a kid, I felt that the monk’s dream was ridiculous. I felt that the monk only made up the story my father told me…

“But from the way things look now, this might have been the truth…

“Otherwise, how could such a coincidence exist in the world? Why would the Cornelius Kroe we just met look identical to the emperor in my father’s painting?” Xyla asked.

She felt even more certain about her thoughts now. “Besides, don’t you think this person is way too powerful?”

Stanley frowned. He was deep in thought.

Approximately three seconds later, he decided to affirm Xyla’s claim. “That’s not unlikely…”

In the past, Stanley would’ve found the things Xyla said somewhat ridiculous.

He might have even doubted her.

But now that he’d personally experienced so many mystical incidents, he was beginning to think that anything was possible in this world.

“If even the great emperor couldn’t help us, we are sitting ducks… There’s no other way.” Xyla became even more depressed…

Stanley’s frown deepened, and his facial expression gradually turned grim…
