The distance of a few meters seemed as long as several kilometers. Prince Xia Yin felt that it took him an entire hour to reach the battlements. He searched left and right as soon as his eyes had passed the battlements, but the walls were empty, and no one was hiding here.
Joy flooded Prince Xia Yin's face almost instantly. He was sure that the elf god heard the prayer in his heart and granted him a miracle. Irene Slate and the prime minister's idiots didn't expect to set up a card here!Like a man who escaped from death, he didn't care about the possibility of being exposed, grabbed the battlements, and then used his arms to reach the city wall, as if he had just been picked up from the sea. He was soaked and sat on the battlements, panting heavily.
"Thank you, Lord Spirit God... Thank you, thank you!!"
His heartfelt gratitude was beyond words, but Prince Xia Yin didn't waste much time. He wiped the sweat off his face and quickly got up, using the "flying" magic to rush towards the giant golden tree towering into the sky at full speed.
My own people can't wait for too long, these people will be my cronies who consolidated the regime after winning the throne, and I can't let them lose too much, not to mention the person I trust the most, Helian, who is like my own brother, Even if it is for their life and death, he must hurry up and go to the holy tree.
Having said that, the tension in Prince Xia Yin's heart quickly melted away. The beauty of flowers blooming everywhere around the holy tree like a fairyland made him extremely happy. There was no shelter on the terrain of this flat river, and he could see with his naked eyes that there was no ambush here. As he imagined, because few people have the qualifications to walk in front of the sacred tree, there is not a single guard here.
The burden on his shoulders disappeared without a trace, and uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy had already appeared on his face.
Through the giant golden tree, Prince Xia Yin seems to be able to see himself winning the protection and returning in glory. At that time, the first guard will surrender to him, and Dophelia's expression will definitely be very exciting ?
Things that belonged to her were taken away by others, and things that were right and proper suddenly became extravagant, just like when my father suddenly passed on the throne that should belong to me to Yeledo, now, I want to restore the pain I experienced in the past To the daughter of Jeledus, and ten times, a hundred times more!Not only to win the throne of the Yeledo family, but also to take the princess of Yeledo as his own, and even the two princesses will become his playthings!
At that time, I must bring Yeledo's favorite Veranika to his grave, and let Yeledo take a good look at his wife's tragic situation. What a wonderful scene it is!
Hundreds of years of painstaking efforts, just for this moment, it came so suddenly, and so surprising!
Imagining the future, Prince Xia Yin couldn't help laughing. He ran to the sacred tree and landed in front of him. Looking at the huge tree roots in front of him that were taller than a person, his heart was filled with the desire to get revenge, and he rushed to the ground. The pleasure and madness of his brain made him look hideous like a madman.
Spirit God, Spirit God, you have treated me well, and I will never owe you in the future!
As a royal family, Prince Xia Yin knew how to enter the sacred tree. He put his hands on the root of the sacred tree with ease, and offered the most sincere prayer to the elf god in his heart. He was sure that this was the most devout thing he had done to the elf god in his life. At that time, the elf god must be watching him in the dark, watching her most devout believer.
however.
"what happened?"
It was as if he missed a step when going down the stairs, and Prince Xia Yin felt a thump in his heart.
He was still standing outside the sacred tree, and a full minute had passed since he put his hand on the root of the tree. According to usual, he should have entered the sacred tree by now.
"This is impossible."
Talking to himself, anxiety began to burn his heart like a flame. He began to feel that he hadn't touched the right place, so he walked a few steps towards the sacred tree and changed his position to pray, but half a minute later, he still didn't touch it. Get summoned by the Holy Tree.
His heart suddenly tightened, and anxiety and fear spread in his chest like a plague.
If he couldn't enter the holy tree, he couldn't get protection, and the coup d'état couldn't be successful. He never thought about what he would do when he couldn't enter the holy tree, because during the hundreds of years of his life, the holy tree was Nothing like this has ever happened.
His mind went blank, and he didn't know what to do next. Aldrich had prepared plans in many places. If plan A failed, he could still implement plan B and plan C, but only when he entered the holy tree. In this matter, he did not make any preparations. In his heart, entering the holy tree was a matter of course, as if the sun would always rise the next day, and no one would doubt that day would not come.
Somehow, a possibility appeared in his mind.
The news that everyone can't enter the holy tree may not be that Dofilia is looking for a reason to block the holy tree, but it is true that no one can enter the holy tree.
"What a joke!"
Almost yelling, Xia Yin yelled red-faced, he kicked the roots of the sacred tree as if he was going crazy, but what he got in return was only the sharp pain from his limbs.
Then he thought that maybe he was not strong enough. If he had enough majesty, he might be able to get the approval of the holy tree. He even took out the fifth-level magic crystal and smashed it on the holy tree, but after bursts of crackling, the surrounding flower beds were scorched, but the roots of the holy tree did not suffer even the slightest bit of damage, and there were no traces of burnt black. .
It is still radiant and dazzling.
"Damn it, damn it! Open it for me!!!"
Like a child who has lost a toy, Prince Xia Yin tried everything he could to the sacred tree but was helpless. His eyes were bloodshot, and he even bit the tree root with his teeth regardless of his image. It fell off at an angle, and the holy tree remained motionless.
"asshole!!!"
Prince Xia Yin roared, the fear of death made him unwilling to give up, he suddenly remembered that he still had a sword on his body, so he spat out the thing mixed with teeth and blood in his mouth, raised the sword and chopped at the root of the tree.
It was only accompanied by the crisp metal sound of "clang", he felt a numbness in his mouth, and then a strange force surged from behind him, his body lightened, his head threw forward uncontrollably, and the pain of his chest hitting a hard tree root made him He took a breath, and wanted to shout out, but because the air in his lungs was squeezed out, he could only open his mouth wide and grimly, but he couldn't make any sound. The suffocation and shock made his brain buzz.
was attacked.
His dull brain realized this, he immediately shuddered, turned around hastily, and then, he saw a figure that made his liver and gallbladder split.
Not just one, but several.
His eyes first stopped on the woman who kicked him behind just now.A vicious woman with long emerald green hair tied into twin ponytails, who is as elegant as a demon king.
In the past, Prince Xia Yin would only feel that this woman with a proud figure made his heart flutter, but now this figure only brings him fear, just like the will-o'-the-wisp floating on the tomb, or the swaying on the oil painting of the old castle. shadow.
As if looking for a life-saving straw, he grabbed the tree roots around him with his backhand, and while stepping back, he looked at the other people behind Erin Sletter.
——The elf with black hair and red eyes, and some people that Prince Xia Yin is familiar with but can't name, such as a girl in a maid costume with short blond hair tied into a side ponytail, and a long blond hair dressed in forbidden clothes. Mature woman in uniform of Guards officer.
However, when he glanced at the person standing at the end of the line, the fear and despair in his eyes suddenly turned into joy, and he shouted madly as if he hadn't seen Erin Slate.
"Rocka! Godlei! Help me, we will kill them together! As long as they are dead, we can succeed!"
Just as Prince Shane said, the people standing at the end of the line were the red-haired Roka and the middle-aged Godley with a thin body.
Faced with Prince Xia Yin's invitation, Godlei was expressionless, while Roka frowned in displeasure. At this moment, Prince Xia Yin felt a chill. He somehow felt that Roka seemed to want to get rid of him and quickly .
how come?Aren't Godlei and Roca one of our own? !
"Rocka! Godley! Are you deaf! You won't feel better if I die! Don't just stand there!"
"Digoet, you are not qualified to speak here."
"Don't be too presumptuous in front of Lord Thanatos, pig."
Godlei and Roka told Prince Shane to shut up one after another. Then, "Gedlei" made a movement that made Prince Shane's breath stop suddenly. Godlei wiped his left hand with his right hand, and "Goldlei" tore off his face. , and under the human face mask was an extremely familiar face of Prince Xia Yin. This was a member of the military department, and he was also the man who attended the last meeting instead of Godley before he fell asleep.
He stared blankly at this man disguised as Godley, unable to utter a word for a long time, then, he suddenly made a sound that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his shoulders twitched, and he looked at Fia with a face full of madness and hysteria , the latter had no expression on his face, and there was no emotion in his ruby-like eyes.
Just like the former Dophelia, she is indifferent and majestic, and she will never guess what she wants to do.
"Heh...heh...so you guys have been teasing me from the very beginning? From the time when you passed on the false information about my amnesia to my eyeliner, all the way to pretending to leave the royal city, all of these things are fabricated by you?"
Prince Xia Yin leaned on the tree root and held the sword with one hand. He was obviously a grown man, but when facing Fia and the others, he looked like a short and thin old man. The angle of the face was twisted, and tears flowed down the wrinkles.
"Dophelia, Dophelia, you are so vicious! What good does it do you to tease me to this extent! Why didn't you kill me earlier!"
"You have no place to speak here!"
Before Prince Xia Yin had time to see what happened, he felt his legs go limp, his forehead was forced to stick to the ground, and he bowed to Fia in a five-body posture. Stepping into the dirt, he still tried to lift his eyes that were tearing apart, and his voice seemed to come from hell, squeezing out his teeth.
"I won't let you go!"
"Idiot, you actually think that Thanatos-sama has no ability to return to the capital. Have you ever heard of teleportation magic?"
First she sneered at Prince Xia Yin, then the red-haired Roka, who was about the same size as Estier, stepped forward and bowed her head to Fia.
Unlike when she faced Prince Xia Yin and her father, Earl Reinhardt, Rocca didn't have any arrogance at this moment, but only had deep respect and submission in her eyes, as well as a hint of admiration.
"Master Thanatos, the crystal has recorded his crimes, we can kill him at any time - please ask your subordinates to do it for you, lest he dirty your hands."
Hearing Roka's voice, Prince Xia Yin struggled even harder.
"Rocka! Your father and I treat you well, you—!"
"Shut up, piggy."
Before Prince Xia Yin could finish speaking, Roka refuted sharply. She raised her brows and looked at Prince Xia Yin with disgust and disgust.
"When Reinhardt kicked me out of the house because of the dark-born disease, the relationship between me and his father and daughter was severed by him. He said he was fostering me in the Cold Moon Alliance, but I don't know what he was thinking. Understood? He was worried that my Darkborn disease would cause trouble for him. It was said that the Reinhardt family had an affair with the Darkborn. If Lord Thanatos hadn't taken me in, I would have died long ago in the Cold Moon Alliance, which is in constant civil strife No, he died at the hands of that orc family a long time ago, and afterward he found out that I was still useful and asked me to admit his mistake, it is really shameless!"
"But what good will it do you to help Dophelia! Your father participated in the rebellion, and you will not feel better!"
"Father?" Roka sneered and snorted, "You think too highly of him. Even if he showed the slightest thought of visiting me when he abandoned me, I would not regard him as an outsider, but what happened?"
While talking, Roka looked intoxicated, and wrapped her hands gently around Fia's neck, and gently pressed against Fia as if she was treating her lover.
"The Roka in the past is dead. It was Lord Thanatos who gave me a new life, and Master Thanatos is my parents. Although I will lose my identity as Roka in the future, Lord Thanatos has arranged for me to go to the Behind the scenes, put away your boring scheming, and don't forget that it is Thanatos-sama's compassion that allows you to live to this day."
"You—uh huh!"
Without giving Prince Xia Yin a chance to speak, Elinslet's boots were forced so hard that half of Prince Xiayin's head fell into the ground, and Roka's shoulders trembled as if feeling Eileen's Leiter's unfriendly gaze. Quickly let go of Fia and stood up.
Elinslet looked away from Rocca, and she begged Fia respectfully.
"Master Thanatos, may I ask you to kill him? If you want to kill him, this subordinate would like to ask you to hand him over to him. This subordinate has some personal grievances with him. He is not worth your waste Time, in the final analysis, you don’t really need to show up, just leave such trivial matters to your subordinates.”
Facing Erin Slate's request, Fia raised her head to look at the holy tree towering into the sky, and then nodded slightly with no expression on her face.
"Since the matter is over, you can do whatever you want, as you like."
With Fiya's approval, Elinslet's elegant face immediately showed joy, she bent down her proud and delicate body, and bowed deeply to Fiya.
"Lord Xetanatos."
"Colita, let's go back. Roka, Renee, and Yamo, you all follow the arrangement of Erin Sletter-don't forget to recover the puppet manipulated by the demon of Laplace before the guard finds out. Fragments."
"Yes, Lord Thanatos."
Although Irene Sletter thinks that if the imperial guards are so lax that they can't even find Prince Xia Yin's arrival, they deserve to die, but Fia thinks that it is better to avoid casualties. , then of course it is necessary to reduce casualties as much as possible, so almost all the guards killed by Prince Shane along the way were dolls wearing the armor of the guards temporarily made by the demon of Laplace. The demon of Rath is manipulating and has almost no fighting power. This is why Prince Xia Yin always feels that the imperial guards have no strength to resist along the way.
Before leaving, Fia glanced at Elinslet again.
"Also, Erin Slate, come back soon."
"Follow your orders."
No longer procrastinating, Fia didn't even look at Prince Shane, and went straight down the hill accompanied by Ke Lita, while the remaining three people, Roka, Renee and Amo, were under the cold glance of Irene Sletter They each saluted Eileen Slate and dispersed in different directions.
Immediately, there were only Irene Slate and Prince Xia Yin who tried to wriggle under the holy tree, but they could only get him in pain like a cracked bone.
Irene Sletter kicked Prince Xia Yin's waist without any mercy, and Prince Xia Yin immediately flew out and turned into a posture facing the sky. At this time, Prince Xia Yin's face was covered with blood and tears. Muddy, snot, tears and saliva mixed together, dirty clothes without the image of a prince.
At this time, the severe pain and the threat of death had made Prince Xia Yin forget what dignity is. Taking advantage of the fact that there was only Irene Slate here, he curled up and stood up tremblingly begging.
"Love, Eileen Slate... There are only us here, let... let me go, I will give you all my family property, and I promise that I will never show up in front of your eyes in the future—"
As if hearing something funny, Erin Slate sneered with her nose.
"Let me go? Did you make a mistake? For the sake of your cooperation with Lord Thanatos, I will make you understand."
As if to deepen Prince Xia Yin's fear, Eileen Slate put away the long sword and took out the sharp thorn sword from the storage props. She gently brushed the blade with delicate fingers that did not look like warriors, While speaking in the posture of a superior person, he deliberately showed Prince Xia Yin the sharpness of the stabbing sword.
"Rokka is one of us. Godlei also died in prison when you pretended to be dead. He knelt down and begged for mercy just like you do now. I spread the news of Yeledo's death by taking advantage of the time difference when the news spread to the south. It is rumored that the letter stamped by your brother Ge Wen is also a forged document by us, it is not difficult to steal the seal and make a copy and put it back."
"We can indeed kill you very early, but there are too many naive idiots like you and Godlei. Solving them one by one will be troublesome and make Yeledo suspicious. Why don't we give you hope and let you work together to catch them all now? , if you don’t rebel, I will have a headache instead.”
"Originally, it was impossible for you to touch the sacred tree. The First Imperial Guard is your burial place, but I didn't expect Mr. Thanatos to become stronger than before after losing his memory. Not to mention that you can't enter the sacred tree, even if you The protection you received from the holy tree is far less than a single hair of Lord Thanatos, you should be grateful for your stupidity, you put on such a good show—this kind of stupidity that you can’t ask for makes me The anger has subsided quite a bit, from elation to bewilderment, and then from bewilderment to hysteria, how does it feel to fall from heaven to hell, Digoye?"
"you……"
Prince Xia Yin was speechless for a moment. He knew that he had been teased from the very beginning, but he did not expect to be ridiculed to this extent by a servant of the royal family. He wanted to scold and even beat Eileen Slate, but the death threat was suspended. On the top of his head, he could only suppress his anger, trembling all over, lying on the ground humbly hoping that Eileen Slate would let him go.
"Let me go... Eileen Slate... I have countless treasures! I will give you all, give you all!!"
It's a pity that Eileen Sletter didn't intend to listen. She flicked the rapier in her hand, took a step with her slender and round thighs, and glanced at Prince Xia Yin's golden eyes full of disgust and hatred.
"I've been wanting to do it for a long time, Digoe. Only Lord Thanatos can look at me in this world. What are you? Just hearing your names makes me sick—starting from these eyes, I will For Lord Thanatos, drive all of you bastards to pieces."
Although she has an elf-like delicate appearance, Erin Slate at this moment looks like a demon from hell. The black gauze dress and horn decoration on her body emphasize the horror atmosphere.
"Thank you to Mr. Thanatos. Mr. Thanatos asked me to go back earlier, so you can suffer less."
Seeing Eileen Slate pressing on every step of the way, the last hope in Prince Xia Yin's heart was also shattered. He knew that Eileen Slate would never let him go. Fear of death spread in his chest, and his body subconsciously moved , running away from Elinslet with hands and feet.
"You, you can't do this! I am the royal family! I am the royal family!! As the chief of the imperial guards, you can't ahhhhh!!!"
With the sound of the stabbing sword sinking into the flesh, Prince Shane and his faction came to an end in the night.
Chapter 56 A calm and restless morning
The autumn morning breeze rolled up the pure white curtains, the morning sunlight reflected in the room and the fresh air wafting into the nostrils made Fiya gradually wake up from the sea of dreams.
The outside is both noisy and quiet. The noisy ones are the servants and guards who are dealing with funeral affairs. The quietness lies in the fact that when everyone passes by the luxurious palace where the eldest princess lives, they will unconsciously slow down their pace and breathing, even those who quietly look at the palace windows The eyes become full of awe, people know what happened, but they have to pretend that they don't know anything.
The internal clock that had been set allowed Fiya to wake up on time at seven o'clock in the morning. She opened her radiant and introverted red eyes, without stopping at the pink canopy above her head, and glanced straight at the four maids who were supposed to be waiting by the bed— —Five to be precise, because there is one more Anastasia.
Facing the salute from Anastasia and the others, she relaxed her tense expression, waved her hands, and began to walk barefoot on the soft plush carpet to the mirror as if she was used to the life of a princess, while chatting casually with the maids. While talking, waiting for the clothes to be put on, until everything was ready, the four maids began to make the bed under Anastasia's order, and Fia and Anastasia walked towards the dining room, and the weird calm finally ended.
Anastasia first looked back and forth to see if anyone was watching, and then arranged her long blond hair and black and white maid outfit in a very solemn way, leaning forward and asking cautiously.
"Has your Highness settled everything?"
Sure enough.
Fei Ya smiled inwardly. It was hard for people not to know about Prince Xia Yin's commotion last night.Because it is inconvenient to reveal the real identities of Erin Sletter and others, Fia did not fully tell Anastasia about the plan to lure Prince Xia Yin into a coup d'état.
For example, Prince Xia Yin was killed by Irene Sletter, the false information about the death of the Elven King was spread by herself, and Godley, who "died tragically on the way to the coup", actually died in prison, etc. Anastasia didn't know anything about it. .
As for when to tell Anastasia, Fia has no idea. Although the issue of Prince Xia Yin and his faction has been resolved, it has not been found out who killed Graian, so Fia thinks it is better not to send Irene It would be better to tell Anastasia, Liti and others about Slate and the others.
Of course, aside from this reason, Fia vaguely understood another thing.She had never understood the choice of the eldest princess before. Anastasia and Irene Slate were very similar in various aspects and even past experiences. Why did the eldest princess choose Anastasia and Irene Slate together? One dark arrangement, even if they don't allow them to work together, at least let Anastasia know the true identity of Irene Slate.
