The fire in the manor was quickly extinguished, but the dignified World Prince was actually kidnapped. This was the worst provocation to the World Government.
Outside the manor, a large number of purge knights have arrived.
Every guest, including their entourage, even just the coachman waiting outside, is now undergoing strict interrogation by the purge knights.
Although [pure-blood nobles] have absolute privileges, they are not as powerful as the imperial power. Even if there is some resistance, they can only cooperate obediently.
Although it is an interrogation, there are obviously two different styles of treating nobles and treating nobles' servants.
In a temporary tent set up outside the manor, the knights captured ten of their entourage at once and tortured them...
Bailang, the newly promoted commander of the purge knights, took a slow breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and threw down the whip in his hand.
I guess I’m tired from playing.
He sat down, took a sip of water, and then said to the Bismarck knight beside him: "I guess this group can't ask any questions. Let's bring in the next group."
The Bismarck knight shook his head, "The next group of people won't be able to find out anything. If the [Joker] takes action, asking everyone in the manor will yield no results."
Knight Balam asked curiously: "Bismarck, you seem to be very familiar with this Phantom Thief [Clown]?"
Bismarck frowned and then remembered that the guy in front of him was a new knight commander who suddenly appeared. He didn't seem to be serving in the Holy Land before, but was promoted from a local place.
"Huh!" But Bismarck just snorted coldly, stood up, left his seat, and walked out of the tent.
Commander Bailang could only look at his subordinates in the tent with an innocent face, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
A subordinate came up quietly at this time and said: "Sir Bailang, Lord Bismarck was not a purge knight in the past, but the commander of the royal knights. His status and status are not comparable to ours... It's just that because of the Phantom Thief a few years ago.
[Joker] broke into the palace and successfully escaped. As the person in charge of that incident, Lord Bismarck was almost executed. Later, I heard that it was the prince who stopped him, and he was assigned to the purge.
In the Cavaliers, the punishment is to be demoted."
"In this way..." Commander Bailang nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Oh, let's change to the next batch, I feel like I'm not tired anymore!"
“Okay…okay!”
This Lord Bailang is still ruthless... His subordinates thought to themselves.
…
…
“You guys, walk faster!”
This night was originally a banquet for Princess Angelique. Most of the well-known nobles from the Holy Land had arrived, so the number of entourage was naturally larger.
After all, among these nobles, especially the [pure-blooded nobles], who doesn’t travel extravagantly every time?
But this has also made it more difficult to eliminate the knights... The noble followers who have been controlled are being escorted in batches at this time.
Daphne was among this group of escorts.
When the manor caught fire, the scene was chaotic. Daphne was separated from everyone at that time, and was immediately captured by the Purge Knights who appeared.
In front of them was the temporary camp where the purge knights were stationed. From each tent, screams were heard constantly... Daphne walked in the team, and her face couldn't help but look a little pale in the face of the upcoming torture.
Recommended, the novel app I am using recently, [ app ] is supported by Android and Apple phones!
I wonder where the leader is now. Has his identity been discovered?
And everyone in the circus, and Miss Yulia...
Daphne has many people to worry about, and then she is herself... Although torture is terrible, it will not kill people at least. Until now, I have not heard of any follower being tortured to death.
Severe injuries, torture... It seems that I have not experienced it before.
Daphne looked gloomy, and was surrounded by the aristocratic entourage with frightened faces... Everyone's situation was similar, so they didn't care what the people around them looked like, and basically everyone cared about their own business.
At this moment, Daphne suddenly felt as if her hands that were tied behind her back were suddenly loosened.
pin the next second, she felt her body being pulled hard by something by the queen, and even her mouth was directly covered by someone at this moment!
Daphne's eyes widened instantly.
I heard someone say quickly in my ear: "Shh! Don't shout, it's me!"
Daphne was pulled into a flower bush on the roadside. At this time, she could no longer care about the sting caused by the barbs of the branches and leaves scratching her skin, because Daphne had already recognized the owner of the voice.
Cariana...the half-elf girl who was taken to Medanzo.
What’s even more incredible is that Cariana seems to be wearing the clothes of a maid in the imperial princess’s manor at the moment... When was she?
“Follow me first!” Cariana was heard saying in a lowered voice at this time.
…
Evading several manor guards, the two sneaked into an unlit room. Cariana quickly threw a manor maid's uniform to Daphne.
"Thank you..." Daphne felt like she was surviving a disaster, "But you...how could you do that?"
"I'm not a half-elf." Cariana said casually at this time: "Although my blood is not pure, I have some elf abilities... My sensing ability is stronger than that of ordinary people."
“Have you seen anyone else?” Daphne asked with concern as she put on her maid’s uniform.
Cariana shook her head: "I wanted to see if I could find a chance to escape, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way... I just bumped into you, and no one else saw it. But you don't have to worry.
, didn’t that very powerful magician pretend to be a [pure-blood noble] at this time? The purge knights would not dare to really attack the [pure-blood noble], even if there was an order from the princess, they would still be scrupulous. As for the one who calls himself Meidan
You probably don’t have to worry about that guy, he looks mysterious and has many tricks up his sleeve!"
Daphne, who had already changed into a maid uniform, suddenly asked: "You said, if I go out to inquire now..."
Cariana quickly stopped this dangerous idea, "Do you think it's safe to change into the clothes of a manor maid? At best, this can only deceive those unfamiliar purge knights. If you meet a servant in the manor, you may not be able to do it immediately.
It’s been exposed... Let’s hide here first. When everyone is tired tomorrow morning, let’s see if we can find a chance to sneak out... By the way, are you hungry?”
Daphne shook her head, indicating that she was not in the mood.
Cariana shrugged, and then took out a ball of cloth and opened it. It contained all the exquisite snacks from the banquet. Of course, they have been crushed into lumps now, which is not very pretty.
Cariana was eating happily at this time.
Daphne looked at this spirited girl with some confusion. She always felt that Cariana was the type who could get along no matter where she was.
Optimist?
"By the way, I heard something when I first hid." The girl's lips were covered with pastry powder, and she said mysteriously, "I heard that the princess is planning to execute everyone except [pure-blood nobles tonight] 】External guests and entourage.”
“Those [nobles granted]?”
“Didn’t I say that it’s everything except [pure blood], which naturally also includes [nobility].” Cariana shrugged, “Haven’t you heard of this princess’s nickname?”
Daphne shook her head.
Cariana swallowed the food in her mouth and said seriously: "[Bright Red Killer Princess]."
…
…
The manor caught fire, burning many parts of the manor to a gray-black color...but it did not burn down the buildings here.
In a relatively clean tower, Princess Angelique was looking down... The expressionless expression on her face also made the stewards behind her, the commanders of the Royal Knights, and the generals of the Purge Knights feel tense. .
Probably, only Prince Huang is relaxed.
His Highness the Prince was kidnapped before he could leave the world. Such a big thing happened, and His Highness the Prince immediately had a good reason not to leave, so he stayed happily.
Concerning this point, even Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to have no good solution and can only keep out of sight.
"Your Highness, do you really want to execute these people?" The leader of the Royal Knights had no choice but to ask.
It is acceptable to execute the followers, and those nobles will not care about the life and death of the servants...but the status of [conferring nobles] is different after all.
I heard Her Royal Highness say calmly: "Someone has to pay the price for doing something wrong... The greater the price, the more people will understand how many innocent people will be implicated next time they do something similar. Being willful also needs to be done in moderation.”
While saying this, Her Royal Highness seemed to glance at Prince Huang who was not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.
【黄】The prince blinked his eyes, made a mouth shape, and said "Hi".
The commander of the Royal Knights always felt that the meaning of these words was a bit unclear... He didn't understand why the prince was kidnapped and why the princess didn't immediately organize people to arrest the whole city, but instead wanted to execute so many people.
But this princess has always had a murderous personality. If she simply wanted to vent her anger... Her Royal Highness would kill even "pure-blood nobles" at will, and she had killed quite a few.
“Then…where is Your Majesty?” The Royal Knight Commander asked bravely again.
Princess Angelique looked outside the tower, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "There will be a reaction soon... Look, isn't this coming?"
coming?
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a black shadow flying quickly in the night sky and then landing. It was a steel one-horned Pegasus with silver light.
On top of the steel one-horned Pegasus, a handsome young man wearing a long black trench coat sat.
When the young master on the flying horse landed, the commanders of the royal knights and the general commanders of the purge knights all lowered their heads... The fact that the prince was kidnapped really alarmed this person.
The founder emperor, the seven kings and generals beside His Majesty Kalafar...the king of heaven, Fuxi!
…
The young master in black windbreaker walked over slowly, bowed slightly in front of Princess Angelique and said: "Your Highness, good evening... [Desolate] Prince, hello to you too."
"Fuxi?" Princess Angelique nodded calmly: "Since Your Majesty asked you to come, it means that His Majesty is not in a very good mood."
The King of Heaven smiled slightly and took out a small brocade box from his arms, "Your Highness, this is the birthday gift that Your Majesty asked me to give to you."
Princess Angelique frowned, but reached out to take it, and said thoughtfully: "He...has anything else to say."
The King of Heaven, General Fuxi, showed a warm smile and said: "I will be fully responsible for the next hunt for the Phantom Thieves... His Majesty said that His Highness was frightened tonight, so he should have a good rest and leave other things alone."
“What if I have to take care of it?” Her Royal Highness asked abruptly.
“Your Majesty said that Your Highness will have a good rest.” The King of Heaven said calmly to Fuxi.
Princess Angelique's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at King Fuxi for a moment before she said expressionlessly: "Come, prepare the room, I want to rest."
After saying that, Her Royal Highness threw up her sleeves and left.
The knights did not dare to move at this time, let alone raise their heads, and even breathed as lightly as possible.
But at this moment, a scream of extreme fear came from below the manor... The King of Heaven frowned slightly and looked down casually, "What happened."
Outside, a knight came in with a numb scalp and tremblingly said: "The order just given by Her Royal Highness Angelique...Kill, kill, immediately!"
General Fuxi shook his head slightly at this time, "Is it really a decisive decision, or should I say... dissatisfaction?"
No one dared to respond to this question.
"Forget it, just kill him. Anyway, this year's quota of [nobility granting] is not enough." Prince Fuxi said casually: "It's better than Her Royal Highness making trouble for me... Are you right?
,【Desolate】Prince?”
“Ah? You called me?”
I saw Prince Huang standing at the exit, clenching his hands and feet, ready to leave.
“Prince [Huang], it’s past midnight.” Wang Fuxi smiled slightly and said: “Your application for leaving the palace has timed out and you have to go back. Your Majesty misses you very much.”
“I’ll be back soon?”
“Someone is here to escort the prince [Huang] back to the palace.”
…
…
“Why is the TV turned off?”
The girl just sneaked out of the room. Her goal was to avoid her brother's attention and successfully steal the happy water and cherries for tonight's immortal cultivation from the refrigerator, and then the instant noodles and soul ham sausage on the cupboard.
"It's a bit late, get ready to go to bed." Boss Luo said casually at this time: "I have to get up early tomorrow."
The girl blinked her eyes, what was on the TV just now... She seemed to have seen a flying steel Pegasus?
It seems like there are some weird programs being broadcast recently, but when I turn on the TV, I can't find them. Could it be that my brother paid for them to watch them on demand?
Since you have made money, how about you order some restricted genres? As an adult male, there are some adult male needs... Obviously I have such a lovely sister by my side.
“What are you going to do when you get up early?” the girl asked in surprise.
“I have something to do and I have to go on a business trip for a few days.” Boss Luo said softly.
“On a...business trip??” The girl couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
“Yes.” Boss Luo smiled and said, “So I have to leave here for a few days.”
The girl was startled, and then she looked like she was reluctant to give up, and tears were about to flow out pitifully... She shouted in her heart: Long live! Long live! Long live the business trip!
“Brother, you have to come back soon!”
"That's it..." Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll put off the business trip."
The girl suddenly turned to stone.
Boss Luo smiled, walked to the girl's side, and patted her head: "Go to rest early."
…
…
City of Liberty.
“You...are there any problems with your [Channel]? I can’t seem to see anything. Is this one called [Daphne]?”
“Who cares about [Daphne]! What I want to see is [Yulia]...My [Yulia] can’t be seen either!!”
At this time, they suddenly discovered that several angles were no longer viewable.
