"Your Majesty." A man in black knelt half-kneeling in front of Catherine and reported in a low voice: "According to the news from inside, Farasi and Victor will visit Fabia in Cassano tomorrow night. They are likely to Some kind of agreement will be reached at that time, but we don’t know the conditions Faras has offered yet.”
Catherine took a sip of bright red wine with an expressionless expression. Even though her body had returned to human form, Catherine still developed the habit of only eating some fruits every day. However, Her Majesty the Queen's life these days made her like it. Go up to taste the most delicious Bordeaux in the imperial capital,
"I know, let's go down." Catherine put down the wine glass in her hand and said softly: "Let them come to see me in Birmingham."
"As you command." The man in black bent over and retreated in an orderly manner. Although his master was the most beautiful queen of the mainland and the ideal partner that all men dream of, he did not dare to do anything wrong at all. Even if he just took a peek at Catherine, he once saw with his own eyes that a companion who couldn't bear to peek at Her Majesty the Queen was burned alive by Catherine in front of them. From then on, Catherine's For these men in black, beauty is equivalent to the scythe of death. After all, no matter how beautiful a woman is, nothing can compare to her own life.
After the man in black exited the palace, Christina walked out from behind the curtain. Even next to Catherine, Christina still put on full body armor so that she could face various crises at any time.
"Nana, what do you think Farasi will do?" Catherine, who was cold and cold in front of her subordinates, was full of joy after seeing Christina. She pointed to the armor on Christina and said: "Also, I didn't ask you to put it on Are you taking it off? If someone can force their way in here, it won't help even if you wear it."
"At least I tried my best." Christina replied unmoved: "Catherine, I will not let that scene happen three years ago again. I swore to protect your safety, but I put you in danger. But there is nothing we can do.”
Catherine smiled slightly and comforted Christina and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's discuss how to deal with little sister Faras."
Christina nodded and sat on the chair opposite Catherine. However, the heavy armor she wore made the wooden chair creak. Catherine always kept a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. But in my heart, I have great admiration for my teacher, the demigod lich. Three years ago, Conse used the method of plane projection to parasitize part of his soul in Christina's body. However, after that night passed, Christina's memory I have never experienced this at all.
If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal to do this, but Christina is a holy knight who has just passed the blessing of the gods. This is equivalent to the demigod Lich Cons using his own power to destroy Christina's heart. The power of God's blessing was suppressed, and the person involved did not feel any discomfort. Christina could even use various abilities unique to the Holy Knight, and became extremely close to Catherine because she was possessed by the demigod lich. So much so that Christina swore to the gods to protect Catherine for life and became Queen Catherine's first guardian knight.
"My suggestion is that we can meet with Fabia first tonight. If we can get him to unconditionally support Her Majesty the Queen, then my power in the imperial capital can be greatly increased, and I can regain the power lost to Faras and Vic. The more power you dedicate, the easier it will be." Christina said,
In fact, Catherine didn't really want to follow Christina's advice. What she did was just to win over the female knight and make her feel trusted and valued. As for wooing Fabia first, it was not that Catherine had not thought about it this way, it was just that Catherine always felt in her heart that this overlord from Cassano was not a simple person, and she was very afraid of him.
Moreover, Catherine's ultimate goal is not to become the ruler of the imperial capital, but to make human beings kill each other and fill all creatures and races on this continent with irresolvable hatred. Only in this way will the undead army come back in the future. confident,
Two hundred years ago, the demigod lich underestimated the determination of the creatures on this continent to resist. Even after hundreds of years of war, when the undead army brought the breath of death, humans finally united together and added the elves. and the dwarves, ultimately causing Cons's plan to fail,
So Catherine rejected Christina's proposal: "No, after all, we are the orthodox people of the human kingdom. How can we condescend to meet with a small lord who has obvious separatist tendencies? Christina, I have always thought that if we want to rekindle To allow the royal family to take power, it is necessary to get the full support of the Royal Knights. You should go back to the military camp tonight and try your best to convince Orlando. An Orlando joining is far more than the support of a million troops."
"Then..." Christina hesitated slightly. She had persuaded Orlando four times in the past three years, but Orlando had always remained neutral between Catherine and Faras, but Christina finally agreed: "Okay. Come on, let me try again."
Catherine knew that Orlando and the Royal Knights would not fall to any political force. She asked Christina to do this simply to make young knights like Christina dissatisfied with Orlando. After all, the young people among the Holy Knights were all They are guys full of passion. As long as they are guided by the justice of the country, they will charge at the so-called enemies at all costs, even if those "enemies" were once their "comrades-in-arms".
Hot-blooded means easy to be confused, and persistence is often synonymous with stubbornness or even paranoia. Catherine slowly planted a seed among the young people of the Royal Knights through Christina or her own motivational speeches on weekdays. Although now No effect can be seen, but this evil seed slowly takes root and sprouts in the hearts of those people. Sooner or later, when the great changes come, the Royal Knights will appear because of the vigorous growth of this seed. Split,
Because they want to maintain their dominance, the Fernando royal family keeps suppressing magicians, so that the mainland is now extremely lacking in such power. Compared with the spectacular scene of nearly 10,000 magicians casting spells at the same time in Sunrise City, the entire human race is now considered the third There may not be this number of magic apprentices who can learn in one day. If Catherine can split the Royal Knights again, then what else can humans do to resist the power of the undead army
In order to achieve her goal, Catherine added a few words to add fuel to the fire: "Also, Christina, the comrades who passed the trial with you have now become the backbone of the Royal Knights, and you haven't been with them for a long time. They have met, why not find an opportunity for everyone to get together. Alas, if Orlando is willing to support the royal family unconditionally, then we can now concentrate on eliminating the threat to the imperial capital. Whether it is the Clay family or the Senat, we are not brave at all. The invincible opponent of the Royal Knights."
Christina didn't speak, but the expression on her face clearly told Catherine that she didn't understand Orlando's current behavior. Although it hadn't developed to the point of disgust or even opposition, Catherine knew that the seed had definitely grown. It took root in Christina’s heart,
"Now, it's Fabia from Cassano, versus Bard from Cassano. God of light, Bard is actually Fabia's subordinate. Then will he just admit defeat? No, I I absolutely do not believe that they will do something that violates fairness and justice. I believe that they will seriously decide the winner. Let us wait and see. Now I announce that the game has begun." The referee outside the field shouted loudly stand up,
Ryan stood leisurely in the center of the competition venue. Opposite him was Bud, who had fought hard to defeat three opponents to advance. Compared to Bud's bloody battles, Ryan's first few games were simply teaching battles, without danger. There is no suspense, raise your hand, cast a spell, hit, win, that's it.
"Sir, although I am your subordinate, I will never be lenient." Bard said righteously, "Please step on my body and move forward."
Ryan was very disgusted with Bud's pretentious performance. He didn't answer and directly raised his right hand.
"Ah, stop for a moment, stop for a moment." Bud was startled. He had seen Ryan's powerful magic. Seeing that Ryan had already made an attack posture, he quickly shouted: "I have a few words to say to you." Say, you won't fail to meet this little request of my poor subordinate."
As Bard said this, he walked towards Ryan, but Ryan did not release the magic immediately. After all, Bard was his subordinate, so he had to save some face for him.
"Well, that's it, Master." Bud said with his eyes rolling as he walked: "Before setting off today, Lady Vivian once came to see me, and she asked me to tell you, if you today, well, if... If you today... Well, this is what Lady Vivian said, I'm just paraphrasing it, you can't blame me."
As Bud spoke, he slowly approached Ryan. He saw that Ryan's expression was serious and knew that Ryan had been attracted by his words. At this moment, Bud had entered the area three meters away from Ryan. He suddenly looked very surprised. Looking behind Ryan, he said loudly: "Ah, Lady Vivian, you are not allowed to walk up during the game. Please get out quickly."
At the same time as Bard's words came out, the bard quickly pulled out two daggers, took a few steps towards Ryan, then stabbed Ryan's throat with the sword in one hand, and held the dagger tightly in the other hand. Swiping horizontally from left to right, sealing off the space for Ryan's hands to cast spells.
"Haha, Master Fabia, you are definitely going to lose. A magician can never win when someone is close to him."
