"Yes, I will follow your instructions."
Although Friede answered Fiya with just a few words, it doesn't mean that Friede didn't take Fya's words to heart. Fiya has revealed that there is trouble in the royal city to deal with, but Fiya is still in the witch's office. She has put a lot of effort into her future, and Friede no longer knows what to do or what to say to express her gratitude.
At the critical moment, Elaine, who had a calmer personality, found a way to repay Friede, she asked softly.
"May I ask what Master Feiya means by 'the royal city is not stable'?"
"It's a long story. To put it simply, this morning, the founding marshal of the empire, the person in charge of the military department, died. It just so happened that I had a battle with the founding marshal yesterday. Now some people in the royal city I suspect that I killed the founding marshal. There is also a wave of people who were my political enemies ready to move, and there are so many things to deal with, I wish I had the ability to clone myself."
Very distressed, Fia sighed.
Elaine immediately volunteered.
"We may be able to help Lord Fia. We witches have nothing else. We are unique in all kinds of weird abilities. If you want to find out who killed the founding marshal, the blind girl's perception magic must be Can come in handy."
"Blind girl?"
Fia's ruby-like eyes widened slightly, and her slender eyelashes fluttered accordingly. If she remembered correctly, the blind girl was the witch who opened a church by herself and only wanted to live a peaceful life. Fia barely communicated with her.
With Elaine's reminder, Friede quickly took over the conversation.
"The blind girl lost her eyesight in the witch ceremony, but by a blessing in disguise, she has a soul eye, which is good at detection and perception. Even the traces of magic power that are so subtle that they cannot be found with magic lenses cannot escape her eyes. If the blind girl knows that she can help She will be very happy to be of your favor, since she knew that you promised to find a place for us in Blossom, the blind girl has been whispering to herself that you must be an elf blessed by God."
"It's too exaggerated to be blessed by God..." Fia couldn't help but think of the blind girl wearing a nun's costume offering her prayers. She nodded after thinking for a while, "If it doesn't cause trouble to the blind girl, I I'm going to ask her for help."
Regardless of whether Graian died from armor or someone else, it would be a relief to find out the cause early, especially the latter. If Graian was murdered, then the royal city would not be safe. This is why Fia Why did she bring Anastasia and Milu with her when she went out? She was worried that if they were left alone in the royal city, they would be taken advantage of. Similarly, learning "See Through" is also to find suspicious persons. There will be no way to hide things like "seeing through".
"Then it shouldn't be too late. Now I will go back to find the blind girl with Lord Fia, Friede, you and the trainee witch will stay in the capital to make preparations, and I will take care of the affairs of the witch hall."
"Are you alright by yourself?"
"There has to be an adult watching over these kids, they've never seen the world, they're easy to be deceived."
Elaine's words made Fried stop her feet, and then Elaine stretched out her black mist-like hand to Fia's arm, and said calmly.
"Master Fia, please start the teleportation."
"Ah."
◇
The sun quickly set on the mountain, and when the cool evening wind blew across the courtyard of the king's city, and most of the servants fell asleep, two figures quietly walked into the library of the princess's palace.
One is a mature woman with a proud figure and a queen-like temperament with her green hair tied into double ponytails with a black headband, and the other is a younger maid with short blonde hair tied into a side ponytail and dressed in a maid outfit. .
These two were of course Elinslet and Colita.
Seeing Fia who was sitting behind the table early, Irene Slate knelt down on one knee with Kerita and lowered their heads.
"See Lord Thanatos."
"Get up. I have something to tell you."
"May I ask what you want to order from Lord Thanatos?"
The person who spoke was Erin Slate.In the past, even if the Eldest Princess had something to say, she would only summon Irene Slate, and it was rare for Colita to be called in. Eileen Slate couldn't help worrying about what happened.
Fiya, who was sitting behind the table, crossed her fingers and looked calm—it didn’t need to be so troublesome, but because she agreed with Erin Sletter to keep a secret from other people, that is, she couldn’t show in private that she really lost her memory. Ya also took out this indifferent gesture that was as close as possible to the eldest princess of the past.
To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing, especially when Erin Slate knows that she has lost her memory.
"I thought you already knew Graham was dead."
"Yes, someone wants to frame you, but the means are too clumsy."
Kerita didn't raise her head, she still lowered her eyes like a human being, but unlike usual, now Kerita's tone is no longer friendly, but full of contempt and ridicule, becoming more aggressive and aggressive sex.
"Even if you want to frame you, it should be a few days later. As long as the nobles in the royal city calm down, they will think that it is impossible for you to assassinate Graian on the first day after the war. The only people who will believe it are Godlei and him. Those fools around me."
"However, they chose to disrespect you in the auditorium. They are extremely stupid. Outsiders say that the wisdom of the eldest son of Graian is concentrated on the second son. It is true. Does Lord Thanatos need me to get rid of Godley? Being locked up in a cell is an opportunity to poison you. I will let him experience the consequences of being disrespectful to you."
Compared with the daytime, I have completely changed my personality.
Although the night was very dark, Fia could vaguely recognize the smile on Ke Lita's green face. It was clearly a smile from the heart, but the matching words only made people feel terrified.
Last night, Erin Slate said through "remote message" that Colita has a deep research on medicine, and can make both herbal medicine that saves people and poison that kills people invisible.
"No," Irene Sletter denied Kerita with a serious expression, "Poisoning will be easily detected. Compared to this, I have a better idea."
Without directly expressing her idea, Elinslet looked at Fia who was seated, as if she was waiting for Fia's permission.
Fia exhaled lightly.
"I called you here for two reasons. One is Graian's death. He was indeed killed by that armor, but there was a breath of a second person on that armor. Before we knew it, there had been People stronger than Graian have entered the royal city, and they may be by our side. This result is the information I entrusted the witch to help investigate."
"Witches? Are they reliable?"
Irene Slate frowned almost subconsciously. As the most powerful assistant beside Fia, Irene Slate would never be reconciled to lagging behind outsiders, especially when Fiya entrusted the witch immediately, which made her feel very useless.
"This is what I want to say. During the period when I left the royal city, the witches have become my subordinates. The information they provide is trustworthy. You should get along well in the future, but don't reveal your identity. At present, we don't know who it is Hiding in the dark, but when I passed by Ouluoling, I saw darkborn showing the ability to disguise themselves as vampires, from now on you must be careful and pay attention to everyone around you."
"...Could it be Karsi? After all, our people have been unable to track him."
"It's not him. During the day, I used "See Through" to check Karsi. He really only has the strength of the fifth level, and it is impossible to kill Graian. I will handle the search for the murderer. I will check everyone in the royal city one by one. You need to be careful not to leave alone, the reason I asked you to come is the second thing."
Fiya's voice paused for a moment, and there was a lot of chill in her gaze and tone, which even made Eileen Slate and Colita feel chills in their bodies.
"Now that I've been targeted by mice hiding in the dark, it's time to hurry up and get rid of the obstacles on the bright side one by one. I don't want me to slowly clean up the mess after Claire comes back. I mean, Regardless of Prince Xia Yin or Godlei, hurry up and liquidate them, and leave none behind, so as to avoid future troubles."
What happened in the past few days made Fia recognize the true colors of the nobles. Their existence would only hinder her. An organization really needs voices of opposition, but opposition is definitely not about stabbing herself at a critical moment.
Moreover, Graian's death also reminded Fia that the royal city was not as safe as she imagined. Today Graian was assassinated by someone, and tomorrow it might be someone else. Assassination and poisoning can also be done by Prince Chain and Godley. In order to prevent them from extending their claws to those around them, they must do it first.
Fia's resolute and ruthless speech made Irene Slate's eyes glow with fire, so that her whole body exuded a euphoric atmosphere.
"Since this is the case, the plan that this subordinate came up with should come in handy. We can speed up the liquidation of Prince Shane's forces, and then the third daughter of Earl Reinhardt, Roka, suggested to Earl Reinhardt that the forced Prince Shane on the edge of the cliff, together with Godley and the army, are not good for you. When they can't help but want to rebel, Lord Thanatos can justifiably eradicate everyone in one fell swoop, and even the little nobles below them will not escape death. , can be called uprooting."
"Master Kothanatos has shown his crushing power against Graian. How dare Prince Shane rebel? And even if Prince Shane thinks he can succeed, once the Elf King returns, the power of the eighth rank can also be reversed." Everything, Prince Xia Yin will not fail to think of this."
Kerita frowned questioningly.
Because she can serve Fia, Colita's status in the organization is not much lower than that of Elinslet. If she were replaced by Renee, she would definitely not dare to refute Eileenslet in front of Fia.
Knowing this, Eileen Slate raised her chin, her rosy lips were full of pride.
"Prince Xia Yin has coveted the throne for a long time. He will not know that it is the holy tree that gives the elf king strength. He has the blood of the royal family on his body. He can also get the protection that the elf king can get, as long as he thinks he can reach it." Sacred Tree, he will want to fight for the power of protection from Yeledo, and the only chance left for him is this one time."
"Impossible, the Elven King is still alive, how could he get the connection with the holy tree, this is not true."
"Of course we can't let him get in touch with the sacred tree, but as long as we make him believe that he can get in touch, we can achieve our goal. As for the method——"
Speaking of this, Erin Sletter's voice stopped abruptly. She walked around Fia as if she was angry with Kerita, bent slightly, and warm and fragrant breath entered Fia's ears. She only told Fei that Ya answered.
After a while, Fiya finalized the result expressionlessly.
"Do as Erin Slate said, but you must hurry up. I don't want to delay too long. I have more important things."
"Yes! This subordinate will never let you go out in person!"
Putting her right hand on her chest and bowing deeply, Eileen Slate stood up and looked at Kerita across the table with golden eyes full of smiles.
"Okay, Kerita, let's talk slowly after we get out."
Chapter 41 Treacherous Dreams
A feeling of floating like falling into a cloud.
As if drunk, and as if standing on the deck blown by the sea breeze, the soul was dizzy for a while, and at the same time, there was the heat of sleeping under the quilt after a fever. Obviously, these two uncomfortable feelings, but combined in Together, it is dreamlike and extremely comfortable.
Gradually, the field of vision changed from pitch black to a picture of countless colors mixed together, as if several kinds of paint were roughly splashed on the transparent canvas, and then the transparent canvas began to shake like water waves. The concept of time, so that the content in the brain is spinning, and the strong nausea makes people have to close their eyes.
This is a dream.
Fia quickly became aware of her surroundings.
Logically speaking, dreams should appear black and white, or an overall yellowish color, but Fia can clearly recognize the colors on this trembling canvas at this moment—no, it is not "seeing" with the eyes, but the color in the mind. I think this color is red, so I think it is red. In fact, what my eyes see is still only three colors of black, white and gray.
It's amazing.
Fia opened her eyes and looked at the trembling world in front of her. She never had a dream when she was in the Human Alliance. Although this is not in line with reality, as long as it is a person, even cats and dogs will dream, but Fia is sure, She had never had a dream, so seeing a dream now felt fresh to her.
Is this a lucid dream?
Normally, if a person realizes that he is in a dream, he will wake up soon, but Fia is still in the dream at this moment, and only things called lucid dreams can behave like this.
I should be able to control this dream, right?
As if reading Fia's thoughts, the erratic world gradually stabilized, and the paint splashed on the canvas condensed together as if they had self-awareness, and finally formed a vague, unhuman figure.
This golden figure erupting with a strong golden glow, like the rising sun, is extraordinarily huge, but because she is quite far away from Fia, as if standing at the end of the world, so Fia can see her body outline clearly without raising her head—— appearance Resembling a starfish with slender arms stretched out to the left and right, her soft, seemingly boneless body sways gently, reminiscent of seaweed floating in the waves, her head is as slender as her arms, no matter which angle you look at it It's all very weird.
If ordinary people see this scene, they will definitely turn around and run away with fear of giants, and regard this dream as a nightmare, but Fia only has curiosity in her heart. She has never seen such a creature before, and she can feel that this is a creature with an ego. Conscious things, and the other party is releasing kindness and pleading, she is asking herself.
After all, it is a dream, there is no order at all.
When Fiya was thinking this way, a voice that revealed a strong sense of weakness suddenly sounded in the whole world.
"My child... I'll wait for you here..."
Ok?
Actually spoke?
Fiya was a little surprised, but she didn't answer the other party. Since she knew it was a dream, it wasn't surprising that anything appeared.
Without waiting for Fiya's answer, the giant human-shaped starfish spoke again. Compared with just now, the voice this time seemed distant and ethereal, as if there was not much power left.
"Only you can help me...my child...help me...I will give you everything you want..."
Give everything you want?
This made Fiya interested, not because she hoped that the other party would satisfy her wish, which can only be fulfilled by her own efforts, and relying on others to give is just a fantasy, but what interested her was that the other party showed such humanity, making Meng This illusory thing appears real and dramatic.
If dreams can achieve this level, it is no wonder that some people like to indulge in dreams.
Thinking about such a thing, Fia finally asked.
"who are you?"
"I'm...here...waiting for you...my kind...child..."
As if not hearing Fei Ya's words, the slowly swaying golden figure with huge limbs just kept emphasizing that she was waiting for Fei Ya, and her voice became weaker and weaker. After a while, she gradually merged with the air, and only Fei was left in the whole world. Ya alone.
The world was erratic again, and all kinds of colors mixed together, making Fia sigh.
It seems that the dream is not so good.
It's almost eight o'clock, so let's get up.
Fiya in the dream closed her eyes, and then, Fiya lying on the bed slowly opened her bright red eyes.
Consciousness returns to reality.
"His Royal Highness, good morning."
Almost at the same time, Fia heard the maid's good morning greeting, in addition to the footsteps of the maid getting busy preparing clothes.
Maid?When did you come in?
Fiya, who was about to get up, froze for a moment. She subconsciously tightened the quilt and looked in the direction of the sound. There were four elf maids of different ages in her field of vision, and two of them were preparing clothes with their backs to her. The two of them stood beside their bed, bowing down to salute themselves.Fei Ya has seen these four maids, and they are all servants dedicated to the eldest princess.
"……Good morning."
Although she didn't know what happened, Fia responded to the maid's greeting immediately.Immediately afterwards, she saw the four maids stagnate almost at the same time, especially the two maids who were looking for clothes, their movements obviously became stiff.
It should be that the eldest princess in the past would not respond to the maids' greetings, but now she suddenly answered them, which made them feel surprised and panicked. Fia guessed that from this perspective, this might be a good prank in the future.
For example, hide yourself and pretend to be a ghost to scare the maids, and then take off the headgear after they come to their senses, and when the maids find out that they are playing a prank, the expressions on their faces will definitely be quite exciting—but considering that they may be caught by the maids It's better not to put it into practice if you cast a look of "the eldest princess became stupid after losing her memory".
"What are you doing? I remember you were not here last night."
"I...we are routinely waiting for you to get up and change your clothes. You locked the door two days ago, so we didn't come in, but you didn't lock the door last night, and we waited for you to wake up like before you lost your memory."
While spying on Fia's expression, a maid carefully explained that Fia's sudden greeting made her terrified and almost felt like she was dreaming.
It turned out to be routine.
Fiya breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, it was quite late after returning to the room from the library yesterday. She didn't use the pendant, and she was wearing her pajamas properly, so she won't be noticed when she wakes up now.
Gathering her mind, Fia imagined the actions that a princess should have to get up. Since she had the experience of being dressed by Anastasia, Fia did not feel uncomfortable with the maid helping her to dress. She walked to the mirror , asked the maid in the mirror who was about the same age as Anastasia.
"Has the morning meeting started yet?"
"Yes, you ordered last night that you will not participate in the morning meeting today, so the nobles did not wait for you."
