(Part 8 of Liber’s Longest Day)

Clodia and her three others left the residence prepared for them by Colonel Richard. Due to the attack on Grancel City, the security in the corridor was very relaxed at this moment.

Although they were somewhat concerned about Yi Ling's whereabouts, now was not the time to pursue this issue. Several people headed to the Queen's Palace from the garden on the top of the castle. The special agents still left a minimum defense, but they saw that the person coming was Princess Clodia.

After that, I hesitated for a while whether to take action or not.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess. Colonel... No, the Queen's order is not to allow anyone to approach the Queen's Palace."

"Grandma Wang... I understand. In this case, we can only break through with force."

After receiving Clodia's signal, Sherazade and Olivier immediately released the arts that had already been activated, catching the two agents off guard. The agents who lost the initiative were caught by the tranquilizer bomb fired by Olivier.

After being hit, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground in just a few seconds.

After entering the Queen's Palace and going up the stairs on the left to the second floor, Clodia took a deep breath and opened the door to the Queen's room.

"Strange, they didn't say the queen was sick..." Sherazade asked in confusion.

"That kind of thing, you can tell there's something else going on at the first glance," Olivier answered her.

On the terrace outside the queen's room, an elegant and elegant old woman looked at Clodia walking towards her, with a happy smile on her face.

"I'm glad you're finally here, Clodia. It seems you have understood."

"I didn't think about it that much. It wasn't until I had a face-to-face conversation with Colonel Richard that I was convinced that his loyalty was definitely not false. Grandma, you are forcing me to make a choice..."

"So, now you have the answer, right?" The old woman's words were unclear. Olivier still had some guesses, but Sherazade was completely confused.

"Yes. I already understand what to do next. I won't continue to escape. Uncle Dunan is the same. In order to take care of the immature me, I accompanied you and grandma to act out this scene."

"Actually, Dunan probably doesn't know the specific situation. He should be acting in his true colors. But if you are still hesitant, maybe the situation will turn out like what you heard. I will not hand over the throne to someone who has no intention of betraying the country.

It’s for a weak person. But now that you’ve figured it out, it’s good.” Queen Alicia pulled out her sword and inserted it into the ground.

Clodia also pulled out her Lyra, stood side by side with the Valkyrie, and then knelt down on one knee towards the Queen.

"In the name of Alicia von Oceres, the twenty-sixth king of Liber, I hereby consecrate Coladia von Oceres as Crown Princess of Liber, the first heir to the throne of Liber, and enjoy the title of Crown Prince.

Honor your name, and when necessary, act as regent in Liber's state affairs. May the goddess of space bless you to always be courageous and perseverant."

"I, Clodia von Oceres, swear in the name of Crown Prince Liber: I will defend the king and defend the tradition; I will conscientiously perform my duties as Crown Prince Liber and lead Liber to glory!"

"Wait, what is going on? I..." Sherazade was a little incoherent, and what happened in front of her was beyond her expectation.

"Wow! Is this... the Crown Prince Ceremony?" Olivier nodded to Sheila and said affirmatively.

At this time, Clodia stood up, walked to the queen's side, and let the old woman stroke her hair.

"Two guests, I will make the official announcement at the birthday celebration in a few days. I hope you will convey this to the Guerrilla Association and the Erebonian Empire behind you."

"Your Majesty, do you know about us?" Sherazade looked surprised, "And my personal actions have nothing to do with the Guerrilla Association. I have not accepted any commission, this is my arbitrary decision. I am acting as a citizen of Liber.

Decided to help Her Royal Highness the Princess...Decided to help Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

"Although I stay in the Queen's Palace behind closed doors, I am still relatively well-informed. Silver Flash Sherazade Harvey, a C-level guerrilla, will soon be promoted to B-level. Don't worry, I know the guerrilla

The association has a stipulation not to interfere in the internal affairs. What I just mentioned is the new task I entrusted to you, to convey this information to the association for me. As for this gentleman, is it His Highness Olibat Lezeanor?"

Olivier and Sherazade showed shock at the same time, and even Clodia couldn't hide the surprise on her face.

"Your Highness?" Sherazade felt as if his outlook had been refreshed today.

"Arnall, isn't that..." Coladia was not unfamiliar with this surname.

Neither of the two girls thought that this crooked guy would have such a powerful background.

"No need to be so surprised. Although it is already very thin, you also have the blood of Oceres flowing in your body. I can feel it when you get closer. The blood of our Liber royal family rarely flows out, only one thousand two hundred years ago

There are still some remnants of the family of Arnall, the mediator who came to marry us many times. Your grandfather, who passed away thirteen years ago, and I were old acquaintances. I recognized your face when I saw it. But since your death ten years ago

After the Hundred Days War, no royal family from Erebonia ever visited Liber. It’s not surprising to me that you would come here.”

"Hmm... the closeness of blood and appearance, so I recognized it at a glance... I thought I missed something somewhere. Your Majesty Queen Alicia, please forgive me for being rude. But this is not an official visit.

, I hope you can call me by the name Olivier." Olivier requested the queen.

"Okay. So Olivier, you came here specifically not only to help my granddaughter Clodia, but you also have something else you want to tell me." Queen Alicia said to Olivier.

"Yes." Olivier said firmly.

"Then I'll go guard outside." Sherazade offered. Queen Alicia nodded to her, and then the silver-haired guerrilla left the terrace and walked through the queen's room to the entrance of the queen's palace.

After the door was closed, Olivier finally told his purpose of coming, and he came to Liebel's true purpose.

"The thing is like this, Queen, do you know about the phenomenon of cessation of guidance?"

"You mean the one that happened in Chase Central Workshop? I heard Richard say that it was related to the black force guide called Gospel." Queen Alicia replied.

"Grandma... what is that?" This was the first time Clodia heard this. She was under house arrest before what happened to Chase, so she didn't know anything about what happened there.

"It is a phenomenon that within a certain range, all force guides cannot be used. Whether it is a personal tactical force guide, a guidance street light or other force guidance supplies, it can be said to negate the mysterious phenomenon of the entire guidance revolution.

." Olivier explained, "Actually, a similar thing happened in the Erebonian Empire a few months ago. Because it was small, it didn't attract people's attention. But I got some information from a friend.

Leinforte of Erebonia is refitting a batch of steam chariots. He would rather give up the convenient guide force, but use steam, a power that has long lagged behind the times... The intention is a bit not good.

guess."

"Could it be that..." Queen Alicia looked serious, and Clodia quickly thought of something.

Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard outside the door. It lasted only a few seconds, and the expressions of both Olivier and Clodia changed.

"Miss Sherazade was attacked? No, how could this happen? I never gave such an order." Coladia said.

"No, it seems they are not the people you think they are. Put your guard down, this person is probably not an enemy." Alicia said calmly.

After the door was opened, the person who walked in was not any of the three people who attacked the royal city. It was a man wearing a red helmet and a special agent uniform, Lieutenant Lorensburg.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me for being late to save you." Second Lieutenant Lawrence knelt down on one knee and said to the Queen.

"You don't have to be polite. This is my granddaughter Clodia and their friends. I allowed them to come in. There is no need to be wary of them." Queen Alicia said to Lieutenant Lawrence, "Since you have come back

Yes, everything seems to be going well with Colonel Richard, right?"

"Yes. Whether our action is a success or a failure, everything will be known tomorrow." Second Lieutenant Lawrence replied.

"Grandma...what exactly is the action you are talking about?" Clodia was still confused.

"Don't worry, you will see it tomorrow." Alicia answered her.

The Queen's answer made her very concerned. Colonel Richard had also told her before that he would tell her the truth tomorrow. It seemed that her guess was only half right. The matter of succession to the throne was indeed a test for her, but other than that

There seems to be something else going on.

"Um...Mr. Second Lieutenant, is Sheela okay?" Olivier also went to the martial arts competition. Although he only watched the preliminaries, he also knew how strong this Second Lieutenant Lawrence was. Now they are face to face.

When standing in front of him, he felt as if he was facing an abyss when facing his father's personal guard, the God of Thunder, Matthias Vandel. Hearing that such a strong man actually lost in the semi-finals, he felt

This must be his intention, right?

"Don't worry, I have no intention of harming her. I just want her to sleep for a while." Lieutenant Lawrence said to Olivier.

"What happened to the attackers in the royal city? Have you met them?" Coladia asked uneasily.

"When I returned, they had already retreated, and I did not encounter them." Second Lieutenant Lawrence glanced at Clodia with a deep look, "Princess Clodia, and this Ollie

Mr. Weir, I can understand your instinct to look for a safe place in the chaos. The terrorist attack has been repelled by our intelligence department. I hope you can return to the residence arranged by the colonel and have a good rest."

"Well, Clodia, you go back and pretend nothing happened. Before the big announcement, I hope you can cooperate with my arrangements." Queen Alicia said to Clodia.

"I understand, then grandma, we will see you tomorrow."

Clodia and Olivier left the queen's room, and with the help of the special agents, they brought the fainted Sherazade back to the room where they had rested.

On the way, both of them felt that they had overlooked something. It was not until they returned to the room and saw four beds in the room that they suddenly remembered.

"Ling!" "Xiao Ling!"

Olivier and Clodia looked at each other, remembering someone they had forgotten.

"I hope Xiaoling is fine." Coladia said worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, she should be fine, maybe she will come back later." Olivier knew that Ling was the activator of Purple, so he had great confidence in her.

Joshua and Estil left the Guerrilla Association and headed straight for the royal city. They were both warriors who had advanced in fighting spirit, and it only took them a few minutes to reach their destination.

"This, this is... such an exaggerated destructive power." Estelle was shocked when she saw the steel fragments on the ground and the unconscious Royal Army soldiers.

"These should be traces of being destroyed with bare hands. Mr. Ainan's intelligence said that one of the people who attacked the royal capital was Valut, so it seems like it was his special move. The soldiers are still alive, so it seems that he showed mercy."

"Really or not... was Mr. Jin hit by such a terrible attack? Wow... the level of strength is indeed completely different. No... now is not the time to admire!" Esty said when she heard that the Royal Army soldiers were fine.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be discouraged, Estelle. As long as we practice step by step, we will catch up with them sooner or later. Let's leave quickly."

After the two of them finished speaking, they entered Grancel City together. In the hall of the castle, they saw the special agents of the Intelligence Department lying on the ground. And a little further away, they were the unconscious Duke Dunant and

Philip the Butler.

"Mr. Philippe? And Duke Dunant!" Estelle immediately recognized the identities of the two people. After all, they had just shown their faces at a martial arts competition a few hours ago.

"Could it be that they wanted to stop them...?" Joshua quickly went up to check the physical condition of the two of them. Dunan didn't even scratch his skin, he just fell asleep. Philip suffered some minor injuries.

, it seems that he collapsed due to lack of physical strength.
