Shadow Apostle

Her long blond hair was neatly coiled on her head, and her blue eyes revealed bottomless mystery like a bottomless lake.

His complexion is fair, his appearance is dignified, and his expression is full of nobility and awe.

Horst had seen Sophia's picture in the newspaper.

In this era, there is no technology to modify photos to look like others.

It is even more impossible to photograph a middle-aged lady who is at least thirty years old as a young girl under twenty years old.

It's definitely not Sophia under the hood.

Horst frowned. Hasn't anyone else noticed it after so many days? Did she also wear a hood when she met Marquis Vern alone?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a noise outside the carriage. Through the window, he could see that the defender soldiers were surrounding the carriage, making the surroundings airtight.

He just turned his head for a moment, but when he turned back again, the person in front of him had changed.

She has half-long brown hair and brown eyes, with a calm expression and clear eyes, as if she has seen through everything.

This is what the photo in the newspaper looks like.

The shining pearl of the Rose family.

Princess Sophia.

Were you just blinded?

The thought made Horst himself want to laugh.

Besides, Marquis Wein also saw it wrong, and it was impossible for both of them to be dazzled at the same time.

However, Marquis Wien seemed to remember something at this time, as if he was fifty years younger. He was originally pushed to sit in his seat by Horst, but now he suddenly bounced up.

He stood upright in the carriage, his hands clinging to his pants, his face flushed, like a twenty-year-old boy, his head lowered and not daring to look at the other person's face.

"Madam, it's you... you haven't changed at all. Now you are..."

"Your Majesty the Marquis." Her Royal Highness the Princess's voice was exactly the same as the one under the hood yesterday morning, "You have lost your temper."

Marquis Wein suddenly raised his head and saw Princess Sophia's restored appearance. His expression changed for a while, and finally he sighed deeply with a look of sadness on his face.

"I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I caused you to encounter a crisis in my territory and alerted the lady. It was really my dereliction of duty. I will definitely investigate thoroughly in the Principality of Novikins..."

"I can't blame you, Your Majesty the Marquis. I had anticipated the difficulties of this trip before I came here. I just didn't expect the danger to come so quickly and so intensely. Fortunately, Mr. Horst protected me in time, otherwise I would have been exposed. ." Princess Sofia turned her eyes to Horst and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Horst."

"We seem to have made another pointless effort." Horst looked out the window at the soldiers who quickly controlled the situation. "You don't seem to need rescue at all?"

"You have misunderstood something, Mr. Horst. That was an elder from the royal capital just now. You can call her Mrs. A."

Horst's eyes were twitching. There was K and W, so it was not surprising that Mrs. A was there, but this ranking gave him a chill down his back.

"The mission of my trip is quite complicated, mainly due to these disasters. It is suspected that Novikins is using the mysterious realm to destabilize the border territories, so I came here in person to try to avoid the occurrence of war if possible."

Seeing that the chaos outside was quickly under control, Sophia quickly explained.

"But not everyone may think so, and the danger may not only come from Novikins." Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at the old Marquis very vaguely, and did not continue to explain in detail, "In short, we have long expected that we may encounter various kinds of dangers. There are all kinds of dangers, so she often pays attention to my safety in the royal capital. It was she who came to see me just now. But it was just a look. After all, she is still in the royal capital and can't do anything. If it weren't for you Show up in time and I’ll actually get shot.”

Horst smiled noncommittally,

"We really did not expect that the danger would come so quickly, and we cannot let it continue to develop. Mr. Zhuomu, Your Majesty the Marquis, please do me a favor."

"Huh?" Horst looked out the window. The chaos was over. Monica was surrounded by several soldiers, but she still remained polite.

The four officers in the other car also got out of the car and were walking this way. It seemed that they were going to greet the carriage where the lord and princess left for refuge.

Princess Sophia suddenly fell down on the carriage sofa and closed her eyes tightly: "I'm dead, please shout louder for me."

Horst was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with the old Marquis. I found that the expression of the old Marquis was quite complicated, as if hesitating a little, but in the end he gritted his teeth and raised his voice. The old man's voice was full of sadness and anger: "Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up. Please hold on for a while longer. Treatment The master will be here soon, Your Highness..."

Horst glanced at the old Marquis with admiration. Although he didn't understand what she wanted to do, he still cooperated by picking up the red ink from the ink tank on the side table and splashed it all over Sophia's body and face.

Well, no need to thank me, just treat it as free help.

boom.

The carriage door was pushed open violently, and four officers appeared at the door. They looked at the only two people left in the carriage with shocked faces, the princess, who was lying motionless on the sofa covered in blood, and the panicked old earl next to him.

"your Highness."

One of the oldest officers suddenly showed a face full of anger. He didn't care to check the 'body' in the car. He jumped on the roof of the carriage and shouted in grief:

"Brothers on the border, brothers in the Hall of Justice, Her Royal Highness has been assassinated. Our beloved royal princess has been assassinated, murdered by those vicious barbarians in Novikins."

The atmosphere among the surrounding soldiers and police instantly solidified. Although I don’t know why Her Royal Highness the Princess appeared here, what this big shot said...

"The barbarians of Novikins have not given up their ambitions against us. They have been creating disasters and trying to make us collapse. When they saw Her Highness the Princess coming to the Bright Moon Territory to fight against their evil deeds, they plotted to assassinate Her Highness. This is To despise the dignity of the royal family is to trample on the dignity of our Kingdom of Nordland, and to make it impossible for us Nordlanders to survive."

"If they hadn't been causing trouble, we wouldn't have lost our land, we wouldn't have lost our jobs, our income wouldn't have been reduced, and we wouldn't have been unable to feed our families and children. All the disasters and all the deaths in the past few years All the pain that everyone has endured was caused by those barbarians from Novikins. We had no evidence before, but now they have finally been exposed. They have even extended their sinful hands to our beloved royal family members. We can tolerate it. ? We can’t tolerate it.”

The dignity of the royal family can be put aside for the moment, but when I heard that the sufferings over the years were all caused by the Novikins, and there was conclusive evidence of the assassination of the princess, anger emerged instantly.

"We are not weaklings who can be bullied by others. We are the people of the Kingdom of Norland. Since they dare to reach out, we dare to cut off their evil hands. Soldiers and citizens, do your best and work as quickly as possible. Tell everyone about this, let everyone be alert and take up arms. If they want war, we will give them war. We want to avenge Her Highness the Princess, and we want to take what we lost..."

Seeing that the crowd below had begun to get excited and the officers became more and more impassioned, Horst suddenly felt a coldness all over his body.

He realized that he was probably standing on the edge of a huge whirlpool.

Peasants who have lost their land, workers with meager incomes, conflicts between the poor and the rich...

Some people want to use the assassination of the princess to completely resolve these irreconcilable contradictions.

This reminded him of a certain unlucky archduke in his previous life.

Is war really coming?

Just when he was in a daze, he suddenly saw the princess beside him opening her eyes.

"Get ready for war, soldiers, we..."

The officer was still giving an impassioned speech on the roof of the car, and the audience gathered below became more and more enthusiastic and angry.

However, suddenly, everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces, pointing to the back of the car roof and making an uproar.

The officer was also stunned and turned around subconsciously.

Then he saw Horst, dressed in black, jumping on the roof of the car.

He is holding Princess Sofia in a princess hug position.

Lift her onto the roof of the car and place her in the center of the roof in everyone's sight.

The living Princess Sofia.
