Lisanna loomed in the palace like a ghost. Only then did she understand how difficult it was for an assassin to sneak into the palace.
"I must be crazy." Lisanna thought silently as she dodged the patrolling guards.
Let's turn the time back to last night when Lisanna came to see Regnar privately.
"I..." Lisanna seemed a little hesitant when she heard Regna make such a request. After all, Alexander also knew and agreed to imprison Regnar. And now, do I want to violate Alexander's will? Lisanna was at a loss. In fact, she had argued with the second prince when Alexander imprisoned Regnar. But what surprised Lisanna was that Alexander, who had always been easy-going, did not show any tolerance or concession in this matter. Although it was Joffrey's order to imprison Regnar, Alexander did not show any objection to it. Even after hearing Lisanna's proposal to release Regnar, he rarely got angry at Lisanna. And now, is she finally going to defy Alexander's will? For... just that Regnar
"..." Regnar saw Lisanna's expression and said nothing more. He knew that Lisanna refused. Although she didn't say it clearly, her expression told Regnar that she didn't want to disobey Alexander. After all, that is his fiancé.
"I'll give it a try!" Lisanna said suddenly after being silent for an unknown length of time.
"Ah?!" Regnar was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that Lisanna would agree. To be honest, he owed this girl too much. Let alone Lisanna not agreeing to help him at this time, even if Lisanna came to chop him with a knife, Regnar would not have any complaints. After all, without her, Irene would have died in Costa Fortress long ago. However, now, Lisanna still agrees to her request? Does she still want to help herself
"Think clearly, I won't force you." Regnar hesitated, but finally chose to confirm Lisanna's thoughts. He said: "There may not be any room for redemption in this matter. You don't need to take such a desperate risk. .You disobeyed Alexander."
"I always know what I am doing." Lisanna seemed very determined. Yes, Alexander was the one she loved, but this did not mean that Lisanna would lose her position and judgment because of her lover. That was blind obedience. , instead of love. But Lisanna will not be like this. She always has her own judgment. If she feels that someone has made a mistake, even if that person is Alexander, she will correct his mistake.
Because of this, Lisanna was sneaking into the palace at this time. Alexander once accidentally mentioned that the chain that blocked Regnar was actually an artifact called the God-Binding Lock. That artifact can seal all the power of the target, and the key to unlocking the god-binding lock seems to be in the drawer of Alexander's office.
"After this corridor, there is Alexander's office." Lisanna thought silently while hiding in the shadows. To this day, she still can't believe what she did. She actually stole something that belonged to Alexander for Regnar. Of these two people, who does she believe
"I believe in myself and my own judgment." Lisanna said to herself in her heart. It's not that she doesn't believe Alexander, she just thinks that Alexander did something wrong in this matter.
Lisanna strengthened her belief and then moved on. At this moment, a group of patrols suddenly walked out from the corner of the corridor. They didn't even make any footsteps. Lisanna gasped and jumped as the guard took his first leg.
The guard walked past Lisanna's eyes in a leisurely manner. Lisanna fell down gently and breathed a sigh of relief. She had just used fighting spirit to forcibly fix herself to the ceiling. This is a very difficult ability to control fighting spirit. Even if Malolite is here, he will applaud his apprentice's amazing performance.
Lisanna finally came to the door of Alexander's office, which was the office room of the empire's top military commander, but unfortunately, Alexander rarely stayed here. Because he often goes out with the army. Lisanna drew out her Swift Wind Sword. She poured fighting energy into the blade of the sword delicately, and then used the blade to cut the door panel. Alexander's office is forbidden by magic. If you want to enter, you must take out a crystal stone to release the corresponding magic wave. Obviously, the crystal stone was always on Alexander's body. So Lisanna could only enter the room by breaking into the door.
"Huh? Why is there a sound there?" The guard's conversation rang out.
Lisanna's heart was in her throat, but she still concentrated on controlling the fighting spirit to cut the door panel.
The footsteps gradually approached, and Lisanna slipped into the door hole she had cut out like a nimble kitten, and blocked the door hole with the cut door panel before the guards noticed.
"Huh..." Lisanna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the guards leaving. She glanced around Alexander's office and then began her search.
"It should be a key with magic runes." Lisanna thought silently in her heart. She carefully observed the chain that blocked Regnar yesterday. It did have a keyhole on it. What she was looking for now , is the key with the energy of magic runes.
"Found it, so smooth!" Lisanna finally found the key in a locked drawer in Alexandria. The key exuded the same magical light as Regnar's chain. The first time Lisanna saw it again You're sure, that's what you want.
After getting what she wanted, Lisanna directly pushed open the window of Alexander's office and jumped out. She wanted to rush back to Regnar again, and then use the key to release Regnar.
In the distance, in an inconspicuous room in the palace, two figures were standing silently. They silently watched Lisanna sneak into the office under the moonlight and steal the key.
"It seems that everything is going well." The figure standing in front of the window said softly. The moonlight only illuminated the tips of his golden hair hanging on his chest. The rest of him was blocked by the shadow of the room. among.
"Your Highness..." The second man knelt down on one knee and said these two words in a pleading tone.
"Okay, Snow, you don't have to be like this." The person called His Highness in front shook his head: "Didn't we already agree? I will let you get your wish."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" An excited look appeared on Snow's face. He knelt on his knees instead, kowtowing to the man in front of him.
"Go quickly, I thought it won't be long before Regnar will come to find you." The first person watched Lisanna slowly disappear into the shadows and couldn't help but smile: "You've been waiting for a long time. Right? Today is your most important day. Get ready!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Snow thanked him again. He stood up slowly and walked out of the room eagerly.
The man who was left behind was still standing in the shadows, silently looking at the night scene in the distance of the palace. After an unknown amount of time, footsteps gradually began to sound.
"Your Highness." Another person entered the room. He bowed slightly to the previous person to express his submission.
"Tell me, did I do something wrong?" the person before asked the person after.
"You didn't do anything wrong." The person who entered later shook his head: "The late king has long since determined that you are the heir to the throne. What you are doing now is just to take back what should be yours."
"But for this throne, I feel that I have done a lot of wrong things." The voice of the previous man was filled with deep sorrow: "For this throne, I must kill my own brother and plot... my lover and my good friend."
"Regna may not be your friend. At least in my opinion, in his mind, there is no comparison between you and people like Kordak and Annelotte." The person who came in later whispered: "And , you yourself should realize that the empire, and even the entire continent, can no longer experience any hardships. At this time, we need a great and wise king of the continent to guide us. And only you are the most suitable."
"Is it another sacrifice?" The man in front spoke very softly, but he was still somewhat unwilling to accept the result.
"Yes, sacrifice." The second person repeated it and then continued: "You have already understood, haven't you? For the peace of most people, a small number of sacrifices are necessary. And this time, you need to sacrifice , is your biological brother... and... a so-called good friend."
