As soon as Orlando's words came out, there was chaos below, "Catherine is no longer the queen. What the hell is going on." Questions like this appeared in almost everyone's mind. Christina clenched her fists and looked at her face. Staring at Orlando with a flushed face, her body trembled for more than ten seconds, and then she asked in a roaring voice the doubts of everyone present: "Why."
"Murder." Orlando said this word in a very normal tone, and then he began to add: "Catherine intended to murder Faras, the Archdeacon of the Imperial Capital, and Fabia, the overlord of Cassano, on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, the law Vivian, Bea's subordinate, blocked the fatal blow for Faras, and then Catherine still escaped despite being surrounded by Victor, Fabia and Allendo."
"General Orlando, what are you talking about? Queen Catherine was able to leave safely under the attack of three people from Victor." Christina laughed and said: "How is this possible, Her Majesty the Queen..."
"Nothing is impossible." Victor's voice came from behind Orlando. The only archmage in the empire slowly walked out of the room. Behind him were Ryan and Farasi, who were hand in hand. , but now Ryan still wears that magic mask and retains his Fabia identity to the outside world.
"Is Victor the Archmage?" Christina's respect for the Archmage was far less than that of Orlando. She asked in a mocking tone without any worries: "The dignified Archmage actually let a lady leave peacefully in front of him. It’s really unbelievable. Could it be that the title of your great mage is..."
"Haha." Victor smiled softly. He looked at Christina's face that was distorted by anger, and said lightly: "My archmage's strength will not weaken because of your doubts. As for Catherine, who can say She left safely, but if she hadn't summoned a Frost Bone Dragon before escaping, she might not have been able to escape."
"Frost Bone Dragon."
"Yes, Cristina, it's the kind that appeared at the wedding of Fernando XIII and Catherine, ice, frost, bone, and dragon." Victor emphasized the tone when he said the last four words: "Also. Yes, you really think that Catherine is just a delicate woman. What a joke. The strength she showed in the competitive competition was only a very small part of her. This Catherine's real strength is on par with mine. Because she is also a legendary magician."
"Legendary magician, what is that."
"Queen Catherine is so powerful. Why did I always feel that she was a little woman who needed protection from others."
"Oh, why are these things getting more and more complicated..."
Orlando calmly watched the Holy Knights around him discussing what Victor had just said. His heart was full of bitterness. The Holy Knights should be the most powerful force in the empire. Their invincible honor comes from strict discipline, but looking at Looking at these people in front of me, they look like this. Is this still the invincible golden lion? But all this is the result of Orlando starting to expand his army.
To be fair, Orlando's idea of expanding the army is not wrong, but the mistake is that Catherine and Faras put their hands in respectively. This is not Orlando's deliberate indulgence, but Catherine and Faras harassed Orlando by leading the army to fight outside. When they were fighting against the Clay tribe, the orcs and the Seike City army, they quietly launched a series of measures in the imperial capital. By the time Orlando discovered it, the whole situation was already a little out of control, and Orlando didn't have much time to correct it, because the external The harassment has never stopped. He must ensure that the situation in the imperial capital behind is not chaotic, otherwise there will be greater trouble.
Faras joined the army just to protect herself, hoping to master a force to protect herself, so she spent a lot of energy and money, and Catherine was deliberately messing up all this. Under her interference, Fernando The royal family and the nobles of the imperial capital all got involved. As a result, after the army expanded, its combat effectiveness dropped. Now the most elite troops in the imperial army, except for the 3,000 holy knights of the first brigade of the Royal Knights directly under Orlando, who were not satisfied with the establishment, actually It is the third legion reorganized from the original Jonas legion under the control of Faras.
"Fortunately, these are all newly promoted knights. The old men under me still maintain Yuan Yuan's original fighting power and can still maintain a deterrent to other forces." Orlando secretly rejoiced in his heart. At the same time, he also made up his mind to fight with Yuan Yuan. Reorganize the army as quickly as possible, solve all the problems left by Catherine, and regain the independence of the army and their combat effectiveness.
Orlando's thoughts were just fleeting in his mind, and he only had such an idea in his heart, without a detailed plan. Seeing that the scene was still chaotic, Orlando frowned and said softly: "Is this the discipline of the Holy Knight? Where does your honor lie?"
Orlando's words quickly calmed down the chaotic scene. It has to be said that Orlando's management of the Royal Knights for more than ten years, coupled with his reputation as the "God of War", is quite authoritative, and he regained control of the situation. After that, Orlando said: "Archmaster Victor has proven his strength to everyone during the battle to defend the imperial capital. I don't think you will forget it so soon, Ms. Christina, and Catherine can compete with Victor." , her power can naturally be imagined.”
"And Katherine was not just involved in this murder. Luke was also murdered three years ago. Katherine was also responsible for it. Ryan was by Luke's side at the time and could serve as a witness. Also, since she summoned a Frost Bone Dragon, So is the one who appeared at His Majesty Fernando's wedding also related to Catherine? Moreover, Catherine has such a powerful power, so the assassination of His Majesty Fernando on the night of the wedding may not be separated from her, because she has She has enough power to avoid the defensive magic circle inside the palace and do something. At least in this matter, she is currently the most suspicious."
"You are talking nonsense. I have always been by Her Majesty's side for the things you mentioned. I can prove that she has not gone anywhere." Christina would never allow others to slander Catherine's reputation. She almost shouted these things hoarsely. The words came out: "Everything you said is just speculation, and there is no evidence at all. Do you mean that if you have the strength, you must do it? Then Victor, you, General Orlando, and this Fabia, Aren’t you allowed to do these things?”
"Christina." Ryan took a few steps forward and looked at her former opponent with pity. Christina was also slightly startled because the Fabia in front of her gave her a similar feeling, which made her She was very surprised, because Christina believed that she had never seen this Cassano overlord before,
Ryan looked at the slightly agitated Christina and sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that no matter what the outcome, the female knight in front of him would be ruined, because she had to prove that she was not present for the three murders of Catherine. Obviously It was difficult to convince others that Christina was not Catherine's accomplice;
"Christina." Ryan said slowly, "Don't you think it's a little strange? Catherine actually asked you to be her alibi witness three times in a row."
"What's so strange about this? I am Queen Catherine's personal guard." Christina said casually,
Ryan's voice was not loud, but it reached the hearts of everyone present very clearly: "Generally speaking, it is a coincidence that you are the witness for three consecutive events. You are not just a guard beside Catherine. Ah, if I asked you now, Christina, what you had for dinner two years ago tonight, would you still be able to recall it?”
"How could I do such a small thing..."
"Yes, even if you stay with Catherine every day, you can't recall everything that happened around Catherine clearly. When you don't know what happened at the same time, you can actually remember that Isn't it strange that the details of a moment are clearly stated, and your behavior just proves that Catherine was not present at that time."
"I don't understand what you want to say." Christina was a little flustered, because some things that happened between her and Catherine could not be said at all, because it started from Catherine's gentle caressing of her body on the night of Fernando's assassination. , Christina slowly maintained an ambiguous relationship with Catherine. On the surface, Christina often protected Catherine, but secretly they had that kind of close contact.
Under Catherine's natural charm, Christina's inner hesitation about this kind of thing changed from initial hesitation to desire. She even began to enjoy the time with Catherine. With Catherine's natural charm and methods, she was in a relationship with Christina. When Catherine is lingering, Christina's mind can soon reach the state of ****. Usually, when a person reaches this kind of happiness, his vigilance will be reduced to the minimum. Catherine will take advantage of this opportunity to use Some kind of mental magic hypnotized Christina, allowing Christina to remain in this flood of happiness, thinking that she had been lingering with Catherine, and the two had never been separated at all. In fact, Christina was beside her There was no one else at all. Everything she felt was entirely the influence of Catherine's natural charm magic. At this time, Catherine could get away to do her own things, such as contacting the teacher demigod lich, such as going to Kill a certain Fernando royal...and the only thing Catherine has to consider is to return to Cristina before the magic expires.
If the Imperial City Magic Guild conducts a magic inspection on Christina with all its strength, some clues can be found. However, after all, Christina is a trainee holy knight and a personal follower of Queen Catherine. It is impossible to use that kind of magic test on the brain. They used very damaging means to investigate, and no one suspected Catherine at that time. How could they have thought that Christina, who swore on her honor as a holy knight, was actually lying
