[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

Midsummer is approaching, and the social season of Nordnoll has reached its peak. Not to mention the nobles who sing and sing every night, even the most ordinary citizens and people here in the hotel can enjoy lively and interesting gatherings and celebrations.

According to the usual practice, the palace will also hold banquets for the coming festivals.

Sadly, this year's royal social season was far less enjoyable than usual, with an ominous shadow crouching eerily under the moonlit midsummer night.

After the appearance of the eagle, the royal family took immediate action, but even after three consecutive months of intensive searches, even if the entire shadow of Nord Noor was shaken by this, the pigeons and falcons still found nothing.

The official search is organized on a large scale, but this leads to extremely complicated personnel involved and low efficiency, and these problems are quite inevitable. After all, there is no search that can take into account extreme efficiency and absolute confidentiality.

Miao Xuan has already begun to suspect the ghost.

The best detector is of course Miao Xuan himself, so in the past three months, he has hardly been back to the palace. Every day, one person and one puppet are divided into patrols, but even so, there is no trace of target one.

The eagle seems to have disappeared, or he left Nordnore at that time, but—Miao Xuan didn't think this thing would go away.

But even if the culprit cannot be caught, the royal family cannot abandon major festivals because of this. All the celebrations must be held as usual. This rule has lasted for hundreds of years, and even became a royal tradition.

Countless guests must be properly entertained, the governors of the colonies, the lords of the ancient fiefdoms, and the envoys from various countries...

These banquets are no longer for celebration and entertainment, they also have a political function that cannot be underestimated.

Miao Xuan discussed with the queen for a long time, and finally decided not to change the previous decision, and held the successive festival banquets as usual.

No matter how fierce the enemy lurking in the dark is, the royal family cannot give up all external actions because of this, because it is completely useless because of choking.

"Add more screening to the delivery list of the invitation letter!" The queen looked solemn, "No matter who that 'Junying' is and what purpose it has, the royal family must not be so greatly influenced by him again!"

Nightingale's captain also held the same opinion. She was ashamed, but she also said concisely: "Yes! Your Majesty, this time we will adopt the strictest security, and in public places, please don't talk to Your Highness frequently. separate."

The female dynasty captain nodded and smiled: "Please don't worry about this, we will definitely cooperate, and Aina will not have any objections."

Yes, even a spoiled little princess knows the seriousness. She is very aware of the special situation. During the three months of almost being grounded, she didn't complain a single word.

It was also such an obedient and sensible Aina that made both Miao Xuan and the queen feel distressed.

Miao Xuan pressed the queen's hand: "Auntie, my 'Maid Maid' will be there at that time, and she will be by your side at any time."

Knowing that the "Maid Maid" was referring to her nephew's puppet, the Queen immediately showed a trusting smile, but Captain Nightingale was a little worried. She didn't know the strength of His Highness the Prince, but it seemed that he was also a weak target that needed protection.

And who is his "head maid"?There is no such person in the carrier pigeon.

Only a few people have seen the puppet's real body, not including the captain.

And Miao Xuan didn't intend to explain, he only said to the captain: "In any case, please ensure that our layout and personnel secrets are not leaked."

Over the past few years, Miao Xuan has used silk thread to toss the entire palace, especially the buildings closely related to Aina and the Queen, to ensure that no bird can fly in.

But this kind of defense is the same as the security layout. After the information is leaked, their power will be greatly reduced.

The captain knew how powerful it was, and she immediately said: "Yes! I will definitely not let any news leak out!"

*

The palace, the princess' bedroom.

"Will it really open as usual!" The little princess surrounded her eldest cousin excitedly, "I thought the Holy Spirit's Day would not be held—then I can only enjoy myself in a dress at home!"

Miao Xuan smiled reassuringly at his younger sister: "No, it is impossible for the royal family not to hold the Holy Spirit Festival. If such an important festival is canceled because of a sinner, it will cause wider turmoil."

Holy Spirit Day is a grand festival second only to Good Friday, and Miao Xuan found that this holiday is approximately equal to the New Year's Day in summer in Niaterba.

In the past, the Holy Spirit Festival in Nordnore was very lively, and there were many examples of the monarch leading the royal family members out of the palace and having fun with the people, but the premise was that the monarch had a powerful divine grace.

Miao Xuan looked at the immature and joyful face of his sister beside him, and sighed silently.

Aina's "wind" is indeed a mighty divine favor with great potential, but Aina is too young now, she has only received the divine favor for two years, and it is amazing to be able to support herself to fly, and it is still difficult to attack or suppress others. earlier.

Besides, the queen has no divine favor, and is in poor health.

"I want to let the 'Rose Griffin' take off." Aina has already started to imagine, "The weather is very good recently, and it must be the same on Holy Spirit's Day. The rose petals falling like this must be very beautiful. I want to wear a dress Fly."

Knowing that Aina is looking forward to this festival, Miao Xuan specially ordered the dress half a year in advance. He patted his little cousin's head: "You are not allowed to leave my aunt and me for the next banquet—you can sprinkle flower petals, but you are not allowed Go up, you have to stay in the safe area."

Cecilia was not unhappy because of this, she tilted her head, but her eyes lit up: "Is my brother going to attend with us? Great!"

Miao Xuan laughed: "No, my puppets will follow you closely, but I don't appear in person."

But the puppet can exchange places with himself, and he can pull the puppet to his side at any time, so there is no need to tell the little princess about these characteristics.

Cecilia pouted: "...brother, I want to be with you."

Miao Xuan sighed: "I'm sorry, Aina."

The little princess tried to threaten: "Then I will find a sister-in-law for my brother!"

Miao Xuan: "..."

Miao Xuan covered his face: "Where did you hear this..."

Cecilia was proud: "Of course I know! Many ladies and maids are secretly in love with my brother. He is handsome and gentle. He is also the Prince of Ceylon. As long as he has met his brother, no girl can be immune!"

Miao Xuan had no choice but to say, "But I can't leave offspring, so I can avoid getting married or falling in love. There's no need to delay other women."

This time it's Cecilia's turn to be at a loss. She vaguely knows that topics related to "offspring" are social taboos, especially for men, having no offspring is a shame, but my brother never seems to take it to heart, so to speak out.

But soon she was relieved - her brother is certainly different from those men!

"Okay, next I have to go for a physical examination, you should finish today's homework first." Miao Xuan patted the little princess on the head, and he asked the puppet to pick him up. Before leaving, he still reminded his sister , "You have to memorize all Nightingale's schedule in the past few days, as well as the palace's defense and risk rehearsal. These are very important, and you can't just rely on your female officer to handle them."

Aina nodded sensiblely: "It's a matter of life and safety, I will memorize it firmly, don't worry brother!"

Prince's bedroom, study.

The inspection this time was still in a hurry. Zechariah was so busy during this period that the Holy See had spent a lot of energy and financial resources on arranging the refugees. As a member of the Holy See, he also believed that the busyness was due and worthwhile. of.

Miao Xuan finished the inspection cooperatively, and at this moment, Ian came to visit.

Since the target [-] returned to the capital, Miao Xuan has picked up the communication method mainly based on meetings, which can be regarded as getting acquainted with this old friend again.

After several years of absence, great changes have taken place in Ian. He has grown taller and has several incurable scars on his body. Although he still looks taciturn, he is completely different from him when he was just an adult. different.

The tempering brought by the blood and fire is enough to shake people's bones, and these restless edges are subdued by Ian, only revealing a calm and peaceful face.

Over there, the door of the bedroom was opened, and Zacharias had just packed the medicine box: "Do you have any guests?"

Miao Xuan smiled and nodded, "It's Ian."

He remembered that there seemed to be correspondence between the two, and they should also have a good friendship.

Generally speaking, there will be connections between targets, either allies or mortal enemies, after all, they are all people who can affect the context of the world, and it is impossible to be just strangers for a lifetime.

Zechariah frowned slightly: "It's him..."

This dissatisfaction was fleeting, and before Miao Xuan found out, he had withdrawn his youthful eyebrows, and he smiled again: "Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave first, and see you next month."

Miao Xuan nodded: "Okay, see you next month."

The door of the room opened at this time, and the puppet had brought the visitors into the study room. Ian was still wearing the military uniform. He found the little prince the moment he entered the room, and then pointed at Zacharias from the corner of his eye.

Miao Xuan sat on the chair leaning against the outside: "You are here."

Ian stood still by the door: "Your Highness, did I disturb you?"

disturb?

Miao Xuan was startled, and then realized what he was referring to. He said, "No, we have already finished the inspection."

Zechariah had already picked up the medicine box, and he walked towards the gate, but it was only then that Ian gave him a slow greeting: "It's been a long time, Cornwallis."

"Good day, Mr. Parcival." Zechariah immediately returned a brief answer, and then walked straight to the door as if he hadn't seen him.

And at the moment when the two approached, Ian suddenly said: "The priests are very busy, right? It's enough to focus on your own practice and spreading the gospel, let's leave the rest alone."

Zechariah's footsteps paused, and then he replied gently and distantly: "I'm just following my beliefs and principles."

After all, Zacharias and Ian passed by, as if two completely different creatures met on a narrow road. It was not so much a tit-for-tat hostility as it was the repulsion of oil and water.

...But no matter what, it's not a meeting of old friends.

Miao Xuan looked at this scene suspiciously and blankly. The relationship between these two people was completely different from what he had imagined. They were neither enemies nor friends. Could it be that... After a short thought, Miao Xuan suddenly realized!

Could it be that, what Aina said, the girl who likes Sakya is—couldn't it be Caroline?This, this is indeed very possible...

Speaking of which, that girl seems to have been locked up at home recently?

Hiss - that's probably the case.

Think about it in your shoes, no matter who meets an older man whose younger sister has a crush on him, his attitude will not be very good, maybe he will not be angry, but awkwardness is certain.

But looking at it from another angle, suddenly meeting the elder brother of the little girl who has tried every means to avoid him, who has a crush on him... that must be troublesome and a headache.

Miao Xuan understood these two feelings very well, he quickly closed the door of the puppet, and tried to explain: "Ian, what are you...?"

Ian sat down opposite Miao Xuan, smiled nonchalantly and said, "For some insignificant matters, Cornwallis and I are not on the same path, so he has some prejudice against me."

Prejudice... It's no wonder, after all, the nobles have always had no integrity in this kind of thing.

Miao Xuan asked knowingly, "So, is there a misunderstanding between you?"

"That's not true. We know exactly where the problem is."

Ian smiled, and then looked down at the bouquet on the table: "But Cornwallis likes to tell me, with all kinds of religious deeds, what immoral feelings go to the stake, what disrespectful Behavior should be whipped, and what secular behaviors should be condemned by God—just because he found the 'clues' that he thought he was certain of.". VII

Miao Xuan was shocked, thinking that the more he listened to this, the more it became true!

He was finally sure, so he thought for a moment, and began to persuade: "Ian, this kind of thing, let it take its course,"

Ian raised his head abruptly: "You know!"

Miao Xuan stared at the back of Ian's bruised veins, feeling sorry for his brother friend, he sighed long: "Of course I know, although Aina didn't tell me the cause and effect, but I can guess it Some."

"Caroline is still young after all, and it is still difficult for a girl at this age to distinguish between short-term longing and true love. Does everyone have this stage... Besides, Sakya is indeed handsome, and I don't blame the girl I like it, but he is already preparing to leave the job to avoid, as long as he doesn't get in touch again, this kind of feeling can always settle down peacefully, and in the end, only young and beautiful memories are left..."

Ian: "..."

After a moment of silence, Ian laughed: "You're talking about...that stinky girl Caroline..."

Miao Xuan nodded heavily, and then said earnestly: "As elder brothers, we still have to trust our younger sister."

"Yes, I really don't care enough about Caroline." Ian was very honest, he looked into Miao Xuan's eyes, "But my dear Highness, there is a brother like you in the whole world? That is unique, I can't Can't do it."

As August approaches, the weather in Nordnor becomes hotter, and on the warmest day, Holy Spirit Day arrives.

In order to celebrate the upcoming Holy Spirit Festival, a long dragon of electric lights was erected on the embankment of Nordnor. This uniquely decorated road illuminates both sides of the river, starting from the sanctuary in Nordnor and continuing to the palace. It is composed of The church presided over the arrangement, so the lampshade also brought a bit of the style of the glass windows of the church.

Incandescent lamps driven by electricity are completely different from traditional kerosene lamps. They are amazingly bright. The same carbon filament is covered in glass covers of different colors, which will bring completely different colors when lit. It is colorful and gorgeous at night. Very popular with the common people.

As night fell, Caroline sat in the carriage and looked at the lights on the road in novelty. The beautiful lights made traffic jams less uncomfortable.

It's a pity that the summer night is extremely hot, and the carriage is even more sultry, especially the noble ladies are still wearing three layers of starting dresses, and the tight waistbands are so tight that people can't breathe.

Caroline pointed the small silk fan at her face, but she was still sweating. She looked at the lights outside the window with aggrieved eyes, thinking that she might have to change clothes and comb her hair again after arriving at the palace...

Thinking of this, Caroline couldn't help but glance at her elder brother sitting opposite. This guy was wearing a heavy military uniform, gloves and boots, but he looked like he was in the middle of winter, not only didn't shed a drop of sweat , even the hairstyle is as refreshing as ever.

——It is the convenience of having the grace of flames. The body of the owner will become more and more adapted to the high temperature, and he will not be injured in the fire, let alone the hot weather.

Most of the blessings of the Percival family are related to flames, but little Caroline did not receive such favors. She stared at her brother enviously, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she whispered: "Hmph."

Ian: "..."

Ian: "Is it hot? Give me the fan."

Caroline handed it over confidently: "Brother, can't you absorb the heat?"

"I can't do it, my ability has no auxiliary value." Ian unfolded the folding fan and fanned it towards his sister, "After arriving at the palace, I will take care of your appearance. I will send you to your mother first, and then you can go to see His Majesty and the younger sister." Princess."

Caroline was taken aback: "What about you, brother?"

Ian's hand strength is much stronger than Caroline's, and the steady cool wind blows the little girl very comfortably: "I may not be in the palace, I will find His Royal Highness after I send you there."

Your Royal Highness... Caroline was thoughtful.

The brother's friendship with the Prince of Ceylon is probably the same as that of her and the princess. They grew up with her, but the prince's temper is much better than that of the little princess.

Caroline nodded: "Then remember to come back to the dance tonight. Mom said that she will choose a wife for you. Then you will definitely be asked to invite people to dance. I will check for you—what's wrong? Don't stop down."

Ian ruthlessly closed the folding fan, refusing to fan the wind: "Sorry, I'm tired."

Caroline couldn't believe it: "Didn't I just mention a blind date, why are you like this...!"

"Also, even if you want to find an excuse, change it, such as 'holding a silk fan is too feminine' or something, although it looks absurd at first glance, but if you say that you will be tired if you say that you fan it—who would believe that?"

Ian was silent for two seconds, and then he said kindly: "You are right, holding a silk fan is too feminine, so I refuse."

Caroline: !

Hmph, childish!

Caroline took the fan and pouted like the little princess: "I can't figure out why you don't get married, aren't those noble ladies charming?"

Ian replied quite calmly: "Probably not as charming as your theology teacher."

Caroline: ! !

Brother smelly!

Caroline took a deep breath, opened the fan to cover her face, and pretended to be disgusted by the eldest lady: "Yes, Mr. Cornwallis is so gentle, no wonder His Royal Highness values ​​him, and a learned priest must be better than a certain Mr. A guy who gets tired after a while is more reliable!"

Ian took a deep look at his sister, and then began to heat up the temperature in the car.

Caroline: ! ! !

Ahhhhhhhhhh!Big stink!

*

When Cecilia saw Caroline in the bedroom, the little girl had already changed into a dress, her long hair was loose, her eyes were dull, and her body was weak.

Cecilia: "...Caroline, what's wrong with you?"

Caroline: "It's hot, haha."

Cecilia: "..."

The temperature in the palace has always been very suitable, and I don't know what Caroline has experienced outside to become like this.

There is still some time before the party, and the two little girls can rest for a while, just in time to check their clothes for the last time.

Cecilia has prepared several dresses for this Holy Spirit's Day, but her favorite is the dress with wings.

In this regard, Caroline also holds the same opinion.

"I originally planned to wear it, and then fell off the 'Rose Griffin'." Cecilia held up the hem of the skirt and circled in front of the mirror, "But my brother said, I am not allowed to go to the sky no matter what, so I have no choice but to stop flying and let the 'Rose Gryphon' continue to sprinkle petals."

Caroline looked at Cecilia's skirt enviously: "It's so beautiful... Even if it doesn't fly into the sky, it looks beautiful."

Cecilia raised the hem of the skirt with some regret: "But if it's only on the ground, these decorations will be too cumbersome. I'll change it after the opening dance - just the purple skirt of the stars and the moon." !"

Caroline laughed approvingly: "Well, then I'll change to the goose-yellow cloud suit, which matches yours."

So the two looked at each other and smiled, held hands tacitly, and made the final preparations surrounded by the maids.

*

After seeing off his sister and enduring his mother's gentle persuasion for 10 minutes, Ian gave up the carriage and hurried to his destination on the other side of the palace.

He successfully entered the headquarters of Dawn Carrier Pigeon in the palace, and saw his Highness on the main seat—he was also wearing a full suit, with his eyes closed, leaning quietly on the high-backed chair, the black heavy cloth lining His skin was exceptionally pale.

Ian subconsciously asked, "Your Highness, are you hot?"

"No." Miao Xuan opened his eyes, and looked at Ian who came to him strangely, "Why do you ask this question?"

Does he look hot?

Ian: "..."

Ian tried to explain: "Because I'm not sensitive to heat..."

Miao Xuan laughed: "Me too, I don't feel hot."

This body is particularly afraid of the cold, and it doesn't feel uncomfortable in summer.

Ian sat down beside the prince, and he keenly noticed that the puppet was not here.

Probably by the side of His Majesty and Princess?After all, looking at His Highness, he should be distracted from manipulating the puppet... Ian thought so, but his hands moved faster. Before he could react, he had already picked up the teapot, and accidentally dropped the teacup .

Ian: "..."

Facing Miao Xuan's gaze, Ian coughed uncomfortably: "It's getting cold, I'm planning to make a new pot...Your Highness, would you like some tea?"

"Okay, thank you." Miao Xuan didn't care. Without the puppet, all his actions became more difficult, and ordinary attendants were not as considerate as the puppet. It didn't matter whoever poured tea for him.

At this time, the banquet had reached the stage of meeting the queen, and it was boring and boring. Miao Xuan simply withdrew his main consciousness and stared at Ian making tea.

Probably because Ian has never done any trivial things, Ian's movements look quite clumsy. First, he boiled the water and took it with his hands and sprinkled half of it, and then emptied the tea pot to lethal amount when putting the tea leaves. This level of tea making technology , You don’t need to taste it to know that the bubble is about a cup of bitter water.

But just looking at Ian's expression, you would think he was doing something serious and rigorous, and it worked perfectly.

Unexpectedly, those who have done heroic deeds on the battlefield will encounter great difficulties in making tea...

Miao Xuan tried his best to maintain a peaceful expression, trying not to help himself from laughing.

Ian's movements became slower and slower, and when he finally got the final result and tried to take a sip, he maintained the movement of holding the teacup and stood stiffly in place.

Miao Xuan: "...puchi"

Ian: "..."

Miao Xuan, who couldn't help laughing out loud, immediately felt a little guilty. He immediately closed his eyes to express that he didn't look at it, and by the way, turned his consciousness to his aunt and Aina.

At this moment, the first ball had already started, and Aina pulled a young boy from the Earl's family to lead the dance. When she was circling, the sleeves decorated with wings seemed to fly up.

The first ball was over soon, Aina returned to the queen to do it, and the queen immediately pulled the puppet to her side, just when Miao Xuan was wondering what she had found, the queen took the puppet's hand, revealing The puppet asked him kindly—"Look, what beautiful girls..."

On the main body side, Miao Xuan covered his face in despair. While listening to his aunt eagerly introducing the ladies present, he looked up at Ian - Ian's mother also participated in the conversation, so he was looking for his daughter-in-law. The question has a lot in common with the queen.

Ian came over with a teacup: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Miao Xuan took it politely, gritted his teeth and drank the first sip with a heart to toast to friendship, and then he was a little surprised to find that this cup of tea was normal, and it also added heavy sugar and heavy milk, which was his favorite taste.

Is it re-soaked?This time it was quite successful.

"It's nothing." Miao Xuan put down the teacup, "It's just that I really don't want to get married."

Ian nodded in agreement after hearing the words: "Your Highness, a very wise idea."

*

The Holy Ghost Festival is one of the most important festivals of the year. According to tradition, guests from all over the world will wait in the banquet hall first, and the order of entry will be arranged according to their status. The royal family is the last to appear, and when the queen and princess After entering the banquet hall with the entourage, the banquet is officially opened.

Immediately afterwards, the guests will meet the queen in front of the throne, and the real ball will begin after the audience.

The schedule was so tight that the little princess brought Caroline to join her mother before she even had time to meet her brother, and Caroline's mother also followed behind the queen.

In addition to the four of them, there were also several female officials and attendants, as well as the guards on the bright side, and Nightingale who was guarding in the dark... A group of people formed a big battle.

This year's summer night was clear and the dance venue was also open-air. The queen took the little princess's hand through the long courtyard, and finally sat on the throne built on a high platform.

Cecilia was very used to such a scene. She sat down beside her mother dignifiedly, and then found a bunch of small and lovely flower arrangements on the seat.

The little princess's eyes lit up. She held up the flowers and looked behind the throne—as expected, a maid with a public face was standing motionless at the bottom of the steps, looking like a sculpture. Looked up.

At this moment, the maid seemed to have a soul, and she smiled gently at the little princess, and this smile made Cecilia completely relaxed.

My brother is here too, which is great.

After the Queen delivered the opening speech as usual, the princes and nobles came forward to meet them one by one. This process was very boring. Cecilia had to sit still and accept greetings with the most elegant smile and manner.

The audience ended and the ball began. Cecilia led the opening dance. Although her age was not enough for the average number of this activity, her status made up for this gap.

After the first song ended, Cecilia returned to the throne, and the second song began immediately. There were more and more people on the dance floor. The queen watched the lively scene with a smile on her face, and then she seemed to think of What, he stretched out his hand and summoned the maid standing under the steps.

Public Face Maid: "Your Majesty?"

The queen took its hand lovingly: "Look, what beautiful girls..."

Maid: "..."

"The ladies on the dance floor are unmarried girls, they all have perfect families and upbringings," the Queen thought, "If only I could have such a daughter-in-law, she can marry my darling, I will Will be the happiest, most contented person in the world."

"Yeah, this time the mother's list has been selected for a long time, and it's hard to bring so many families on board...Brother, are you really not tempted?"

Cecilia answered narrowly from the side, and immediately got a warning sight from her brother through the puppet.

There is still a long distance between the throne and the dance floor. The Queen began to enumerate the history of the ladies in the audience one by one, and Mrs. Parcival quickly joined this healthy discussion. She knew that the maids were actually the prince's puppets. , so it is much more sincere in language.

The two mothers chatted very happily under the same topic, and the little princess was fascinated by it. Only the puppet maid who was held by the aunt had nothing to love-but it couldn't be seen without facial expressions.

Caroline also leaned forward under Cecilia's secret signal. She finished on the soft stool under the princess's seat, listening to this conversation attentively, looking at the dance floor with good eyes, for fear of distracting the future The sister-in-law showed it and pulled it down.

The dance music in the audience changed again, and the topic of the queen was almost finished. At this time, the governor of Aydno came forward to meet again, saying that he would present a gift with local characteristics.

This seemingly surprise link has actually been reported a long time ago. The gift is a huge emerald sculpture. Cecilia has already watched it once with her mother. The artwork is indeed beautiful, but that's all.

Why don't you take this opportunity to change a dress, and dance later...

Cecilia brushed away the cumbersome feather decorations, and whispered to Caroline: "Come on, let's go change."

Caroline whispered: "What is that gift?"

Cecilia: "The emerald sculpture...you know, that's it."

Caroline immediately nodded understandingly: "Then Your Highness, let's go."

As soon as the two left the throne, they were naturally accompanied by Nightingale members and female officials. The dressing room where the dresses were stored was in the palace behind the garden. Even for a noble lady with a big skirt, it only took 10 minutes to go back and forth.

After the dressing room, it leads directly to the little princess's collection room, which is her flower garden, and in the center of the flower garden, there is her most precious aerial mount "Rose Gryphon" - different from the first edition ten years ago, this one The frame ride is rebuilt for better performance and longer battery life.

After being protected by the stars for ten years and sealed tightly in the palace for three months, Cecilia took it for granted that the palace was safe.

Especially since this is the home she is extremely familiar with.

She was surrounded by members of the Nightingale, and the palace was full of her brother's threads, and there was the strictest defense...Who could get around here and hurt her in the end?

Caroline had to change her dress in the dressing room shared by the female officers, while Cecilia entered her own room, followed by two maids and a nightingale as usual.

As the four of them entered the luxurious palace, the door of the room slowly closed...

At this moment, Cecilia lost control of her body.

This was an extremely terrifying feeling, as if the blood in her whole body was stiff. Cecilia only felt weak all over, her eyes were black, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Your Highness?" Nightingale was the first to notice something was wrong. She immediately leaned over and tried to help the little princess to check, but then, the always kind little princess turned around suddenly and bit her arm!

This sudden accident was beyond Nightingale's expectations, but it was this moment of loss of consciousness that completely killed her - a needle shot straight into the woman's throat at this moment, sealing her throat with blood.

Nightingale collapsed on the ground, and the maid who went to hold the dress was speechless. Cecilia maintained a stiff posture in horror. The taste of blood and the touch of flesh still remained in her mouth...

In extreme fear, she saw a red-haired man coming out of the room, he approached her step by step, and then picked her up like a chicken.

it's that guy

Even though she had never seen him before, Cecilia recognized him immediately.

It's that... "Eagle".

The man didn't hesitate. He mentioned the little princess and ran towards the back door. This series of actions was extremely fast, as if the man was very familiar with this place, but it was impossible. Why did he know the layout of the palace so well? !

Outside the door, Nightingale and the guards who were supposed to guard again also fell to the ground, life or death unknown.

Cecilia couldn't move, she watched the curtains pass by, and she was getting farther and farther away from the dressing room.

Brother...Mom...

Before completely fainting, Cecilia heard the low-pitched laughter of the eagle, not only that, but he was also saying—"It's really sharp, you're chasing it here?"
