Not far away, Queen Belina, who had been escorted far from the conflict zone under the tight protection of the Royal Guard, saw this and curled her lips into a smug smile.
'How could I not have made preparations for every contingency?'
The assassination attempt was real.
But the damage a dagger could inflict was nothing compared to a fatal shot from an energy gun.
Which is why she had also arranged for a sniper.
With everyone's attention drawn to the troublemaker with the dagger, it would be easy for the sniper to land a fatal shot from a distance.
The only male currently closest to Yu Lan was Yu Wenzhou. But unfortunately for her, Yu Wenzhou had been deliberately placed there by Belina as an obstacle to block Yu Lan's escape route.
More importantly, he was there to help them land a guaranteed shot at the critical moment.
Huo Zhanting and the others were still a great distance from Yu Lan, rushing to her side as fast as they could.
