Apocalypse Cemetery

Chapter 552 The Uncaged Canary
When Catherine appeared at the gate of St. Fran's Palace covered in mud and blood, the entire palace exploded immediately.Catherine first bathed and changed clothes according to the court etiquette of Saint-Francis, and then had her identity verified by some familiar people before going to meet Emperor Raymond VI of Saint-Francia.

What happened to Catherine these days is really unbelievable, so she didn't tell the whole story, because even if she did, no one would believe it.

You said the dragon god Bahamut was killed by a mortal?What?You said that the Goddess of Life was beaten away by a human mortal?If humans are so awesome, what's the matter with other races?
Orcs are invading the frontier again?Why don't we just send someone to kill them all?A large-scale natural disaster of undead appeared in the north?Why don't you just send another person there~~
Things that are too unbelievable are generally difficult to be accepted by the public. In order not to be regarded as a lunatic, of course Catherine will not talk about such things.However, her improvement in strength has been noticed by many people.

Legends are the strongest combat power in the world, and there are very few open demigods.Generally speaking, legends are already arguably the country's most important weapon.

The eldest prince and eldest princess became legends before they were 25 years old, and they were already well-known geniuses on the mainland.But Catherine is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, so naturally, Catherine broke the record of the eldest prince and eldest princess, and raised this record to an unsurpassable level in an instant.

The ministers in the court expressed their congratulations to Raymond VI one after another, and His Majesty the old emperor was very happy because of this, and specially presented his own sword to his youngest daughter.As a result, Catherine's status is much higher than before, which is a blessing in disguise.

In St. Francis Palace, Catherine has always been the most popular one.This little princess has a perverse and arrogant personality, but no one cares about her because Catherine poses no threat to the throne.

Catherine's mother used to be Lei Amon's favorite concubine, but she finally died in a court struggle. When she was dying, she forced Lei Amon to make a vow to herself: never make Catherine the crown prince, and never Don't use her as a tool for marriage.Catherine just wants to be an ordinary Princess Happy, like a happy and free bird, and Raymond wants to be the guardian of her happy life.

This oath was made by Lei Amon in front of many people. In the position of emperor, Lei Amon is as good at keeping promises as many of his colleagues throughout the ages.So naturally, this promise became Catherine's most natural umbrella, and thanks to this, Catherine was able to grow up safely in this dangerous place.

It was getting late, and before tonight's dance started, Catherine was sitting in front of the luxurious dressing table and getting ready.More than a dozen waiters are busy arranging her makeup, every strand of hair has been carefully selected, and every accessory is carefully selected.

There was a kind of black tea that she used to like most on the tea table, but it also became tasteless at this moment. She just took a small sip, and Catherine never picked it up again.She looked at the cumbersome pendants and ornaments in the mirror, and suddenly, Catherine felt deeply tired of such court life.

Endless balls, endless flattery and smirks from nobles.Young people who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes always try to court her in various ways. Sometimes she must marvel at the imagination of these people, and she doesn't know how those idiots who can't even read the general history of the empire Think of so many ideas that never repeat themselves.

She thought of the dark dungeon again, the statue of the evil god Rose emitting purple light, the demons crawling out of the abyss and the army of Heaven Mountain.Although the primary succession didn't tell her all about the battle, Catherine could guess a lot by herself.

She clearly realized that something had changed in her since returning from the dungeon.In the past, she would never have done such a thing as killing Ralph, but at that moment, in order to save her life, she did so without hesitation.Catherine felt very guilty afterwards, and ordered her servant to send Ralph's widow enough property to live the rest of their lives comfortably.

It was easy for an imperial princess to minimize the impact of the death of a kingdom knight, so Ralph's family did not know that he had been killed by himself.This incident should have passed quickly, but everything that happened that day was like a stone thrown into Catherine's originally calm heart, causing ripples.

The world is not like this!It was the first time she realized such a problem.

The nobles at the ball don't respect themselves, what they fear is the royal blood in themselves.On the surface, the eldest princess and the eldest prince who like themselves may hate themselves, but they are not a threat to their status, so they don't mind playing a kind and generous brother or sister in front of everyone.

For the first time in her life and death, Catherine began to think about things she wouldn't otherwise think about.Ray Amon's children all had very good talents, so soon, countless experiences from childhood to adulthood were strung together like beads into a magnificent necklace, shining in her heart.

So for the first time, she began to understand that she was just a canary in a cage for people to play with.The royal father had promised his mother that he would not use himself as a tool for marriage, but this did not mean that she could remain unmarried for the rest of her life, which would not be good for the face of the royal family.

Maybe in another two years, she will be forced to choose a less annoying guy from the group of brain-dead sons to be her husband.Out of respect for his own blood, he will always respect her as a guest, but he can't give her anything she wants.

Raymond's aggressive blood rushed through her veins, and suddenly, she tore off the violet shawl on her shoulders, and then stood up.

"Princess Catherine, where are you going? The banquet is about to begin!"

"Go away, you don't need to worry about it!"

Catherine quickly took off her gown, and then put on an ordinary samurai outfit.Then, she picked up the saber that Ray Amon gave her, beat up several guards one after another, and left the palace alone.

………………

After hearing about this, Ray Amon just smiled, and then signaled people to ignore it.He looked at the portrait of the princess hanging in the bedroom alone, and said, "Look, how can I, Raymond's daughter, be a canary with peace of mind?"
