"But now, Fiona also has a story. After I go back, if my fourth brother asks me where I went, I will only tell half of it, and I will have to wait until the next day to tell him the second half!"
While talking, looking at the surprised expressions of the little animals around her, the girl couldn't help but feel a little proud, while Anvis couldn't help but twitch his ears.
"Then, my fourth brother and I both went to the academy... Do you know the academy? It's that kind of interesting place where there are more students than teachers. It's different for me in the castle. There are only many teachers teaching me at the same time.
In the academy, I met some new friends. They were very natural when getting along with me at first, but gradually they became weird and would instinctively please me, just like those people in the castle."
As she spoke, the little girl sighed and then continued.
"However, the fourth brother still took good care of me as he did in the castle and taught me a lot. He knows a lot. Sometimes, I feel like he knows everything like a teacher.
Although no one else in the school paid much attention to the fourth brother, I could feel that the fourth brother was actually very powerful, but for some reason he did not show his strength.
Also, a classmate once asked me in private whether the relationship between His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince Lan Nuo and his fourth brother was 'that kind of' relationship. I asked her what that kind of relationship meant, but she refused to say anything..."
"Your Majesty, do you now know what that kind of relationship means?"
At this time, a parrot raised its wings and asked, and the small animals around also stared at Fiona expectantly.
"It's a pity that I still don't know. Maybe I can ask Fourth Brother when I go back."
Fiona shook her head.
"Could it be... um... um..."
"Your Majesty, please continue."
After silently casting a silencing spell on the parrot, Anvis spoke up to change the subject.
"But unfortunately, I only attended the academy for less than a year before I had to return to the castle due to an accident.
In order to protect me, fourth brother used himself as bait to lure away the terrible enemy, but he was captured by the enemy."
As she narrated, Fiona's mood gradually became depressed. Even the small animals around her became quiet due to the girl's emotional change.
"At that time, I was protected by my father in the secret realm of the castle. Although I was safe, my fourth brother was in danger.
From that time on, I was thinking, why don't I have enough strength? If I could have the strength like my father, then my fourth brother wouldn't have to put himself in danger to protect me.
But fortunately, maybe it was because the wish I made when a star fell came into effect. An accident made me leave my family's secret place and embark on an unusual adventure.
In the process, I met many interesting companions, who were different from the people in the castle and academy and treated me very naturally, as well as enemies who were not strong but very bad.
And at the end, I met my fourth brother again - you don’t know how happy I was at that time!"
Having said this, Fiona's expression became happy again.
"When I came here this time, although I don't know what changes have occurred in this world, I can feel that there should be something here that can make me stronger.
Being protected alone in the secret realm of the castle, I would also feel lonely. If I have the power, then I can protect myself and no longer worry my brother and father."
Holding her hands on her chest, Fiona's big blue eyes closed slightly, then opened again.
"So, after being taken back by my father, I will often come back here to play with you, although you may not know me by then.
I will quietly become stronger and give them a surprise..."
She still wanted to say something, but at this moment, Fiona's expression suddenly changed. She could feel that her shield had just been forcibly penetrated by someone.
She had just listened to White Rabbit's words and strengthened the city's protection, but now she didn't even notice the identity of the enemy, and the protection was completely broken!
"You guys hide quickly, an enemy is coming!"
Fiona suddenly thought of the white rabbit and the many small animals. If there was a war, she would definitely not be able to take care of them.
But almost the second after the girl raised the alarm, the air in the palace suddenly became still.
The blank expressions of many small animals were frozen on their faces, the dust in the air stopped falling, and the white rabbit that jumped up was frozen in the air, as if time had suddenly frozen.
Looking from the outside of the palace, a square transparent cube had appeared at some point, like a huge crystal box, enveloping the girl and the white rabbit.
.….….
Although he was blocked for a moment by the suddenly stronger regular shield outside the city, after showing his true power, Marquis de Winter still forcibly broke through the shield.
At the same time, he immediately used the power of rules to confine the space-time area within the palace to prevent the target from noticing that something was wrong and escaping.
The next moment, the entire transparent cube and the palace inside it began to gradually shrink. However, there seemed to be some strong interference in this process, and the cube shrank at a faster and slower pace.
The scarlet eyes were staring into the cube, and the whole body was shining with regular light, resisting the shrinkage of the cube. Marquis Winter sneered and pulled out a strange dagger from his waist.
The entire body of the sword is made of a strange brown metal, with uneven surfaces. The tip of the sword has been broken off, and the blade is stained with an unknown trace of dried dark brown blood.
It was a weapon that had been following him for many years, an unknown strange object that he had found while exploring the depths of the restricted area of life.
Usually, Marquis Winter would only use it when facing enemies of the same level nine. The reason why he could quickly break through the shield before was due to its power.
The last time he came here was just a dream incarnation, and he did not expect that the power of the Nightmare King would be so troublesome, so he did not bring this weapon.
But this time, he won't make the same mistake again.
With his mind locked on the girl, Marquis Winter held the dagger in his backhand and swung it out suddenly.
The next moment, invisible and twisted lines condensed from the front of the sword blade, connecting straight to the girl who was resisting the restraint with all her strength.
This was an attack aimed at the soul, and its power was specially controlled to the extent that it would not cause death. After all, what he hoped to obtain was a complete experimental body, not a mutilated corpse.
But what Marquis Winter didn't expect was that at the critical moment, the white rabbit next to the girl suddenly became able to move. The pocket watch in its hand emitted a faint light, distorting and offsetting the movement of the lines.
At the critical moment, Anvis relied on the power of his pocket watch to break through Marquis de Winter's rules and block the blow for the girl.
"Is this the guardian you created? Interesting creation."
Raising his eyebrows, Marquis Winter watched with interest as Anvis worked hard to move the pointer and offset the lines bit by bit.
He saw traces of the operation of rules and the connection between the pocket watch and the world.
"But alas, the fairy tale is over and it's time to grow up."
As he spoke, Marquis de Winter changed his direction slightly and struck out with a sword like Anvis.
This sword was different from the one used against Fiona. A large number of black soul lines penetrated the cube like arrows, shooting at all the immobilized small animals around Fiona.
In order to prevent any further accidents, Marquis de Winter made a casual decision to clear the place, just some small animals.
Except for Anvis, who barely relied on his pocket watch for support, the other small animals hit by the thin line all fell down silently, and the fluctuations in their thoughts completely dissipated.
"!!"
Seeing the scene in front of which many small animals that had been listening to her story just died tragically, the girl's blue eyes showed deep sadness and regret.
This was her mistake. She should have let them escape when the White Rabbit issued a warning, instead of carelessly thinking that there would be no problems with the city's protection because she had not found the enemy yet.
The words Avis once taught her echoed in the girl's heart again: No matter what choice you make now, you will bear the price of your choice in the future.
Angrily staring at the vague-looking Marquis de Winter across the space, the girl's eyes were red and she was fully controlling the power of the world's rules. While helping the White Rabbit resist attacks, she continued to attack the space cage that imprisoned her.
The rules of the world seemed to become violent with the girl's anger. Thick, swirling dark clouds gathered over the city, and huge thunder could be heard, as if the whole world was roaring towards Marquis de Winter.
Under the impact of the surging force of rules, the transparent cube-shaped cage finally could not continue to shrink, but began to gradually expand again, as if it was about to be completely opened.
Looking at the girl whose resistance suddenly became tenacious, Marquis Winter also frowned, which made him feel a little troublesome. After all, he didn't want to leave any serious injuries on the girl, which would interfere with his research.
On the other side, after barely neutralizing the attack with Fiona's help, Avis stared at Marquis de Winter with his pink rabbit eyes, and his heart sank.
The dagger in Marquis de Winter's hand gave him a rare and eerie sense of crisis.
Only now did he realize that the premonition of the previous crisis did not entirely come from Marquis de Winter himself, but a large part of it came from this dagger.
He had no doubt that once he was hit by the attack of this dagger, he would definitely die suddenly on the spot.
Facing the Marquis of Winter who was holding the dagger, Anwes gave up his previous death plan. If he wanted to solve this danger, at least he couldn't let Fiona face the dagger directly.
You must know that fate cannot completely bind the ninth-level powerhouse. If he just lets it go, Fiona may really be in danger this time.
Sensing something in the dress pocket on his chest, Anvis' eyes sharpened.
He only had one chance, and even if he didn't have a second rare item that broke the limit, Marquis Winter wouldn't give him a second chance to take action.
