Blood Princess and the Knight
Chapter 494
"As long as I can get the Scarlet Empire back on track, I can do everything, so what about requesting foreign aid? Besides, this is not just my idea, at best, it is a leader." Zi Ling grinned and walked to Lilia. In front of Silk, patted her face.
"Your Majesty, just rest when you are tired, close your eyes, everything is over, and then watch me step by step how to bring this empire back to prosperity, let the world know that the Scarlet Empire has never declined!
"As long as you have this dagger and seize all the royal blood, including yours, and the wicked one, I am the supreme blood of the ancient blood. The Scarlet Empire will surely usher in a new height and glory! Sleep, empress. His Majesty.
Lilias' drooping eyelids gradually couldn't support her, her consciousness was occupied by darkness again, and the power in her body disappeared.
In the future, the supreme emperor and throne will be their own, and after fear and intolerance, there is a burst of unprecedented excitement.
"Hmm? This Zi Ling casually glanced at the piece of paper that fell out of Lilias's jacket pocket, picked it up, opened it, and gradually frowned, and then looked at Lilias with complicated eyes.
It turned out that her disguise was seen through by this woman a long time ago, but she hasn’t done anything for a long time, and she didn’t even intend to do it on herself.
Chapter 18~
The world is scorching, and the change of power is that people go to the cold, realistic and cruel.
The girl sat on a high position in the castle hall, cocked her legs to play with the gold and silver treasures in her hands. The maid servants above and below the castle bowed their heads in sweat, and the dignified air seemed to drip out of water.
Dove occupying the magpie’s nest, for this uninvited outsider, whether to obey or disobey, they have no choice but to be humble. In this country where birth is important, the poor birth is a sin, and the choice is for them. Too extravagant.
The hall was full of servants, and the end of the rebellion was clearly written. The corpses were chopped and chopped into several incomplete corpses, and then the corpses were thrown into the wild, the corpse wilderness, the dead and no burial land, the actual ruler of the White Thorns Principality handed over to others. , An internal rebellion within the family completely lost the once-large Principality, and the immediate families died in the struggle for power. The fight between the sidelines and the officials caused both parties to lose.
"My lord Duke." The attendant leader returned with his orders, and coldly bowed to the Duke.
"Well, are you back? It's been a lot of work, and I have to go to the garbage dump to pick up those ugly flesh and blood dregs." Mi La smiled.
"Responsibility." With a wave of his hand, the four attendants behind him came in carrying a large sealed box.
Mi La got off the seat at the right time and walked to the box under the protection of the guards. "Open it."
"Master Duke, are you sure you want to see?"
"After all, some people still don't give up. I also want to see what the end of the arrogant mutineers will end in the end."
The lid of the box was lifted, and a pungent rotten smell filled the nasal cavity, and even the waiter who had been on the battlefield looked down on life and death did not frown slightly.
Mi La's expression was indifferent, her expression did not even change. She kept a smile, and picked out a shriveled head from the box. The eyeballs in the two holes in the eye sockets were completely rotten, and there was disgusting tissue remaining on the epidermis. And flesh and blood, several black worms sprang out.
The maid, including the attendants, held their breath.
"Don't be unharmed, the current'Patriarch' of the Duchy of Whitethorns?" Mi La grinned, her fingers gripped the deformed head tightly, her nails pressed slightly, and the bones made a few crisp cracking sounds.
"Humans, they just can't predict their own destiny. The moment before they sat on the throne of the family, holding heavy powers and seizing one side, the next moment they end up in a different place and die without a whole body."
"In the final analysis, some people overestimate their own status and talents, and they don't know how much they are worth. They always do some presumptuous behaviors that make people troublesome. It's not a pity to die."
"Duck, click," the skull rolled down, and the rotten eyeball was so familiar to the maid Jiading present. He seemed to be still looking at them.
"Why don't you understand that you came out of the nest but was killed by others?" Mi La stepped on the rolling head with her feet and snorted coldly. "The reason why you are allowed to be the head of the family is not because of your talents, but just your stand. In fact, this family puppet is the same as everyone. Some people are very knowledgeable and understand what this position means. You, who are tall, don't even know this point. It's a complete waste."
The servants and maids lowered their heads and silently expressed their surrender.
"Crack!" The skull was stamped into crumbs.
"Now, who is the guy who wiped out them, have you found out?"
"I forgive my subordinates' incompetence, Lord Duke. No enemy's body was found on the scene. They packed up very cleanly and evacuated quickly."
"Well, this is no way. People with a little brain will pick up their own wreckage after the war, but I almost know the identity of the other party." Mi La squinted her eyes, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"There is another weird thing. There are more than two thousand people in the Whitethorn Principality with combat capability and regular guards. The whole army was dispatched this time, but when we arrived at the scene, we only found less than a hundred corpses. It was the soldiers guarding the Principality of Whitethorns. Not only that, but I didn't see the bones of the second lady of the Principality of Whitethorns."
"Oh? Interesting, I finally found a point that I am interested in paying attention to." Mi La said with a smile, and stepped onto the seat in two steps.
"Want to catch the trail and chase them?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh? Does Mr. Guard think I'm an idiot at the same level as Mullin?" Mi La tilted her head and looked at the guard who asked her in doubt.
"Subordinates are dull, don't you let them slip into the Kingdom of Staunton?"
"Why not, what good is it for us to chase them, Mr. Guard, tell me first, do you know the identity of the other party?"
"I don't know"
"Yeah, I don’t even know my identity. The opponent fought this battle only in self-defense, with motives but not clear goals. In this case, why should I chase rashly? Is it a ridiculous reason for revenge for fools? "Mi La chuckles with a laugh.
"Although this guy tried to block the information, he inadvertently revealed that they should be the blood army returning from Saplan. Otherwise, the Whitethorn Principality has no reason to allow them to come in during a very period of time."
"The number is uncertain, but according to the marching speed, it will definitely not be much, and the fighting power is strong. It is not ruled out that our ‘cute’ princess is hidden among them~~" Mi La licked her lips.
"I got the news below, the princess should still be in Saplan."
"Whoever believes in this kind of words is a fool, it is possible that they deceived it as their own, Mr. Guard, don't underestimate anyone until you figure out the situation."
"The teachings of the Lord Duke, remember below."
"Well, although I don't know what she wants to do, but she can't be put into the imperial city at this time, she should be better." Mi La walked back to the seat.
"Head-to-head is always the next best thing. If the conspiracy doesn't work, just use the arrogant scheme. You can kill people invisible without a single soldier."
One by one
After routinely accepting the identity check, he entered the territory of the Kingdom of Staun with ease. Most of the soldiers were released after simply checking their documents. Ji Bai was also prepared to go up and scream again.
Compared with the Duchy of Whitethorns, the people of the Kingdom of Staunton are obviously much smaller. The civilians mostly wear coarse cloth clothes. Compared with the neighboring Duchy of Whitethorns, the quality is obviously different. For the same coarse cloth, the people of the Duchy of Whitethorns are mostly brand new and fashionable. In the Kingdom of Stone, most of the styles worn by the people are old and full of patches.
The shirtless young men come and go, seem to be running for a livelihood. The people have yellow and thin faces, and most of them have symptoms of malnutrition.
The appearance of the people reflected the people's sentiments and economic status of this place, and it was quite different from the Duchy of Whitethorns. No wonder the people of the Kingdom of Staunton were scarce.
"This Kingdom of Staun, either the economy is in depression, or the people are not doing well."
"Huh?" Kalanti was taken aback to inquire about the situation. "How did Mr. Bai see it?"
"None of you noticed, these diligent but deeply helpless faces?" Ji Baiyu said earnestly. "It's so obvious."
"Obvious?" Di Ling stupidly walked up and looked around, looking at this person for a while, and then approaching that person for a while, making them really embarrassed.
"Wow! Dead woman, why do you catch someone's hair?"
"Don't bother others, don't you think we are not conspicuous enough." Kalanti sighed. "It's really a single-celled organism that can't think independently."
"What are you talking about?! Oh, yes, what happened to the single-celled organism? You were saved by the single-celled organism!" Di Ling refused to accept the defeat.
"However, I really didn't see it. The expressions on the faces of the people are not mostly the same, how can they be so finely divided?"
"No, it's not the same." Ji Bai denied. "In the Duchy of Whitethorns, the people live in mediocre life. When they meet acquaintances, they will smile at the corners of their mouths, but here, all I see are bitter smiles and self-deprecating."
"Eh, isn't it?" Di Ling was lost in thought.
