"So Liana may have received some kind of support, but the question is what the other party can get by helping her."
Thinking about this question, Lu Ya paced back and forth in the room.
The empire has no gods, but that doesn't mean that the spies from the Grandi continent won't infiltrate. It has been confirmed that the people on the opposite side can travel through the dense forest and sea of fire to the continent of Asdra, but what is their purpose in doing so
I always feel that the Theocracy Continent is not as uncontested as it seems on the surface, the key is the god they believe in. Think about it carefully, as long as it is God's command, no matter what kind of impossible thing, believers will do whatever it takes to achieve it.
Maybe the crazy old man in the felon cell with her knew something. I heard that he has not been caught since he escaped from the prison early. He may have gone into hiding, or some upper-level forces may be secretly helping him.
I always feel that there is an undercurrent surging in the imperial capital, and everything is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Lu Ya silently wrote down all the clues, and when the night approached, she changed into black clothes, sneaked out of the dormitory, and hid in the alley.
Although the imperial capital is brightly lit all night, there are always some places behind the light, and undead will appear in the darkness that is too long. Therefore, there are some small roads that people will never pass by in the middle of the night, even soldiers of the empire. Will come to patrol these paths.
As long as you run fast enough, you won't be followed by the undead. Luya passed through those dark roads very smoothly, and finally crossed the clock tower, passed through the central city from the sky, and sneaked into the upper city where the nobles lived.
If the Lower Town is a slum and the Midtown is a bustling city, then the Upper Town, which symbolizes power and status, is like a garden in the sky, serene and tranquil. It seems that the end has never happened, and the disputes and sufferings of the outside world have nothing to do with this place. It is a place like the Garden of Eden, where there is only happiness and joy.
Compared with the slums and energy factories, it is really dystopian...
Luya remembered that her former world had become a post-apocalyptic world, where resources were always in the hands of a few people, and even in the apocalypse they were still unevenly distributed.
"About 500 meters below you and to the right, there are two soldiers patrolling."
Farus reminded Luya aloud, and Luya made an OK gesture. She lay on the eaves and watched one of the mansions silently through the light.
The housekeeper's son she met at the energy plant showed her the direction of Derek's manor. Although she didn't plan to do anything tonight, Luya decided to go and find out the information first.
In fact, Luya felt that it was too much for nobles to still occupy so much area in the current imperial capital.
The population load has exploded, and criminals will be exiled. A dozen people in the slums live in a house of a few square meters, which is not even as good as a horse pen in a noble manor. However, the lives of the nobles have not been affected at all, as usual. Even a dog raised by an aristocrat lived a more human-like life than the refugees.
Is it fair? Of course it wasn't fair, but the emperor didn't intend to change all of this. No matter how dissatisfied ordinary people are, what's the use of it
Lu Ya didn't intend to be the savior either, she just wanted to do what she should do well. She landed silently on the main roof of Derek's house, opened the attic window, rolled over and jumped in.
Soon she found Liana, who was playing the role of filial daughter at the Countess's room at her bedside.
Luya couldn't help pricking up her ears and began to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Mother... The two daughters of the Duke of Barendfa's family are both talented and talented, and they are also highly regarded by the people. I have seen polls in the news. The eldest lady of the Barendfa family has always been a member of the people of the empire. The most hopeful candidate to become the imperial concubine, I really don't have the confidence to defeat them and win the favor of His Royal Highness... "
Liana looked aggrieved, wiped her tears and said, "I really don't know if I should go to the ball, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the family, it's all because I came back too late, if I can be like De If Miss Lisa insists on going to the poor street to do charity, maybe everyone will remember me... "
"Silly boy, you are so smart and beautiful, how could His Royal Highness not like you?"
Countess Derek looked at Lianna distressedly and said, "My dear, you don't have to be like the daughter of the Barendfa family. The slums are too dangerous. There is no point in doing charity for those poor people. It just ends well. It’s just a reputation. Like Teresa, there are countless hidden guards following and protecting her every time she passes by, and our most trusted housekeeper, Laus, has betrayed us, oh, it’s unbelievable... "
"Mother, maybe I don't deserve happiness. There are still rumors everywhere in the empire, saying that I am a fake daughter, which led to Laos and his son driving me out at all costs..." Liana lowered her head sadly, sobbing speak.
"Who said this? I'll let your father punish them!"
Countess Derek couldn't help being furious when she heard the words, and then she clutched her chest, looking very painful. Liana hurriedly brought medicine to the countess, and after the countess' condition eased a little, she looked at Liana and continued, "Don't worry, the coat of arms of the Derek family has recognized you. Children who come to glory... You have to have confidence in yourself, and you will definitely be able to shine at the ball."
"It would be great if all the citizens thought the same as my mother."
Liana wrung her fingers and said, "If it is not recognized, His Highness the Crown Prince may not even notice me. I only saw His Highness once when he came back from a big victory. His eyes are so cold..."
"Your Highness is that kind of person, you don't need to think too much. I heard what happened at that time. Why are you not as bold as you were then?" The countess chuckled lightly, "I heard that you were going to greet Your Highness Zelos."
"Mother, stop talking..." Liana blushed immediately, and hurriedly stopped the countess from continuing.
At that time, Lianna was ambitious and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, but after receiving the hint from the mysterious person, her journey went smoothly. She remembered that person told her that it would allow her to stand at the highest position of power. In Lianna's view, the highest position a woman can obtain is the position of queen, isn't it
I heard that Crown Prince Zelos likes to fight. He is extremely talented in military affairs. Although his style is ruthless and ruthless, he will be the next emperor. Coupled with his good looks, there is a saying quietly spread in the continent of Asdra: "Although Zelos is a twisted lunatic, he is the dream lover of countless women."
There are countless aristocratic women who want to be Zelos' lover, but he never gets close to women, and it seems that he has never looked at any woman directly. This actually makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even more attractive. There is even a support club for him on the Empire's network, gathering little girls to elderly ladies, all of whom are crazy about His Highness the Crown Prince who doesn't seem to eat fireworks.
The women talked about his figure, the type of women he likes, how long he can last in bed... even what kind of shampoo he uses to make his beautiful long golden hair so flowing, everything about the Crown Prince It is the focus of attention of the women of the empire, and their interest in him is even greater than whether the empire has won the battle.
The reason why Lianna is famous in the upper social circle of the empire is not actually her identity as a real daughter.
But three years ago, when Zelos’ water capital, Dainlm, returned after a victory in the defense battle, a blond girl rushed past the guard of honor, trying to kiss the crown prince Zelos.
Liana's plan at the time was to get Zelos to notice her. For such a man, it would be difficult to attract his attention by ordinary means. Aristocratic women are always cautious and dare not do anything out of the ordinary, and ordinary people are not qualified to see His Highness the Crown Prince up close. She believed that Zelos must have grown up under the stars of everyone, and he must have never seen a woman like her, so he would definitely be interested in her. So with this in mind, Lianna rushed forward.
That's when she became famous.
She was scolded crazy by Zelos' support group on the Internet, and those noble ladies who usually seemed to be well-educated criticized her one by one. Said she was a shameless crazy woman, and said all kinds of bad things, and she still remembered that the two ladies of the Baron Defa family laughed at her openly.
But it wasn't just that that made Liana angry.
She didn't have a chance to meet Zelos, and before she got in front of him, she was pushed to the ground by imperial soldiers and almost beheaded on the spot as an assassin. Fortunately, Earl Derek's butler, Old Aldy, arrived in time and explained to the soldiers that it was the daughter of the Earl's family.
At that time, Aldi Sr.'s son, Luke Aldi, did not report Liana either. The name of Earl Derek's family was very useful, and Liana was pardoned, but she remembered the look in the eyes of the crown prince at that time, which she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Cold and disdainful, contemptuous as if looking at a piece of garbage.
She had never been so slighted since she came here after leaving the orphanage.
This made Lianna feel determined to win or lose. She was very unwilling, and she vowed to capture this man and make him her servant.
The author has something to say: there will be a second update later
The copy of the empire is a little girl to rescue her beloved dragon! And then they never parted again, hee hee.
If it is an RPG, you have to practice at least level 50 in this book to fight the boss, I think.
The next copy is Dark City, which will be sweeter.
