After Ilea ordered the camp to be set up, Thomas led a small team to patrol around the camp.
Miss Rabbit's guardian knight Alfred is already very old. Because the girl is worried that his health will not be able to bear it, she basically no longer takes him with her in battles, and only lets the old knight sit in Yanxue City.
So the important task of protecting Ilea fell on Thomas. The latter did not dare to take it lightly, especially after the girl became the king. Once the other parties found that it was difficult to defeat Ilea on the frontal battlefield, it would be difficult to move aside.
thought.
The struggle for royal power in history has always been cruel, and there has always been a variety of dirty methods.
Thomas carefully searched the lake twice and found no suspicious people or things, so he returned to the camp before dark.
Most of the people had finished eating by now, but knowing that Thomas and the others were out on patrol, the cook still left food for them.
It includes half a stick of black bread, a sausage, and a bowl of boiled beans. From Ilea to ordinary militiamen, they all eat the same thing, but officers can get an extra glass of mead.
Most of these things were provided by the Lilani couple, because it would be too expensive to transport them directly from the west.
Thomas returned to his tent with the wooden tray. He planned to go to bed after eating, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the tent, he felt a cold feeling down his throat.
Is there an assassin?!
Thomas was startled. He couldn't see the assassin clearly. He only felt something silently running behind him, and then a dagger was placed on his neck.
The hair on the guard captain's hair stood up at this moment. He couldn't believe that there was an assassin in this world who could sneak into the military camp quietly under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes.
His first reaction was not to worry about his own safety, but to be afraid that this terrible assassin would touch Ilea again.
However, Miss Rabbit is always accompanied by at least four guards. She is only alone when she is sleeping, but there are still guards outside the door.
And since this assassin came to him first, it means that the opponent is not sure that he can break through the guards around Ilea.
Thinking of this, Thomas felt a little more at ease, and then he heard a somewhat familiar voice.
"Long time no see, Sir Thomas."
"Are you...Selena?" The guard captain's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Since I separated from you, I have imagined many times what it will be like when we meet again, but I didn't expect to greet you in this way." Selena said quietly.
Thomas thought quickly and said in a deep voice, "Allister and Cornelia sent you here. Are you here to assassinate Lady Ilea?"
"Would you believe me if I said I came here just to take a look at you?"
"I may have loved you once, but don't think of me as a fool."
"Ever?" Selena didn't seem satisfied with these two words.
"This is your choice. I asked you if you would like to return to the West with me and believe in Saturday, but you rejected me."
"This is not a fair choice at all. Why don't you follow me and believe in Varlia?" Selina protested.
"Because I am a knight, my honor is my life, and I will never betray Lady Ilea and Prophet Merlin." Thomas said seriously.
"I'm just a woman, but that doesn't mean I don't understand that betrayal is wrong, Lord Knight." Selina said.
"Then we are enemies."
"You really have the courage, Lord Knight, to say such a thing when my knife is still on your throat. Aren't you worried that I will kill you?"
"As you said, the knife is in your hand and you can do it at any time." Thomas said calmly.
"But if your intention is to hold me hostage and make me work for you, or to bring you close to Sir Ilea, I advise you to give up earlier."
"I don't expect your elm head to help me either." Selina sighed, reaching out to pick up the glass of mead from Thomas' wooden tray.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do.
"Actually, I didn't lie to you. I came here just to see you."
"Really? Then why don't you let me turn around? You can also take a good look at me."
"Because I am no match for you," Selina said. "You are much more cruel to me than I am to you. I am worried that you will catch me and give it to your queen, unless... you promise me not to
They will take action against me."
"I can promise you." Thomas said without hesitation for long.
"Okay, then close your eyes." Selina said.
Thomas closed his eyes after hearing this. Not long after, he heard a muffled sound in his ears, which was the sound of a wooden wine glass falling to the ground.
At the same time, the guard captain felt that the cold feeling in his throat disappeared. He quickly opened his eyes, turned around and looked behind him, but there was no second person in the tent at all.
Thomas opened the tent and saw a group of patrolling guards approaching his tent.
Thomas asked them if they had just seen anyone leaving his tent. After waiting for a negative answer, he immediately asked people to seal off the military camp without hesitation, and at the same time quickly arrived outside Miss Rabbit's military tent.
The good news is that Ilea is still safe and sound. The girl is currently studying the next march route with Kaiden and Duren, and is a little surprised to learn that there are assassins in the military camp.
But after hearing that the assassin was an old acquaintance - Selina, it wasn't so strange anymore.
Selina is a priest of Cornelia, and after awakening her bloodline, she has special means to hide her figure. Ilea has experienced her power before, and she still relies on the human body sensor given to her by Li Yu to detect people.
Caught.
Although Thomas has sealed off the military camp as soon as possible and no one is allowed to enter or exit, Miss Rabbit estimates that it will be difficult to find Selina.
This was indeed the case. The captain of the guard later led people to search the general camp, but found nothing.
However, Thomas was still frowning. Based on his understanding of Selena, it was impossible for the latter to come to the camp just to take a look at him, say a few words to him, and leave without doing anything else.
Ilea said, "Are you thinking too complicated about people? Maybe she really just wants to meet you."
Anyway, Miss Rabbit is like this. She feels panicked after not seeing Li Yu for a few days, has no intention of working, wants to eat and drink too much, and wants to make trouble.
Selena and Thomas haven't seen each other for almost two years, so they have to think about it.
The guard captain was a little undecided after what she said.
At this time, Kaiden on the side said, "Did she ask you any questions or give you anything during her visit this time?"
