Chapter 312 The Second Princess Summons
Ten minutes ago, Shu Li blushed as she went to the food area with Siti and Nasha to eat.
Siti stood beside Shuli, holding an empty plate. She used a fork to pick up some meat from the table and said, "Sperian, congratulations on becoming a couple with Ace."
"No... no!" Shu Li was shocked, dropping the fruit she had just picked up back onto the plate. She vehemently denied it, "You misunderstood! Ace and I are not a couple!"
"Hehe~~" Seeing his face turn even redder, Siti jokingly said, "Ace has admitted that you two are a couple! Your eyes and expressions can't lie!"
"Really not!" Shu Li sweated profusely. Although he had realized his love for the Elf King during the dance, they hadn't even started dating yet. How could they possibly be a couple?
Besides, the reason why the Elf King told Princess Alice that they were lovers was to fool her!
Seeing Shu Li sweating with anxiety, Nasha nudged Siti to stop her teasing. "Don't get involved in what's going on between Sperian and Ace."
Looking at Sperian's expression, it seemed that he had just realized his feelings and was shy when talking about this topic. Although they were happy to see it happen, they could not interfere too much.
Siti stuck out her tongue and quickened her pace, picking out her favorite food from the table.
Shu Li looked at Nasha with gratitude.
He had just figured out what was going on in his heart, but his mind was still confused. He really didn't have the courage to face the Elf King, so he escaped here under the pretext of being hungry to calm down.
——Even though I’m really hungry.
Anyway, fill your stomach first.
Shu Li picked out the fruits, vegetables and bread on the long table, filled a plate with them and brought it to a nearby table.
The Seal of the God of Fire on his right hand was burning hot. Farm smelled the aroma of food and became restless.
However, long before entering the palace, Shu Li had instructed it not to rush out easily so as not to scare the people in the palace.
Farm was so depressed. There was delicious food in front of him, but he couldn't eat as much as he wanted. It was so frustrating.
When Shu Li saw the totem of the Fire God's Seal appearing on his right hand, he hurriedly pressed it with his left hand, warning Farm to be good.
After a while, the Seal of the God of Fire disappeared.
He sighed, picked up a fork, picked up a piece of unknown fruit, and put it in his mouth.
The taste is average, as if it has been stored for a long time and half of its freshness and moisture have been lost. It was specially taken out for everyone to taste for tonight's banquet.
Siti and Nasha are human and like meat, and half of their plates are grilled and smoked meat.
The three of them sat at the dining table, eating and chatting, talking about some unimportant things.
Halfway through the meal, a servant came to their table and bowed respectfully, saying, "Dear guest, I'm sorry to bother you."
Shu Li put down his fork and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The attendant lowered his voice and said, "The Second Princess invites you."
Second princess?
Shuli, Nasha and Siti were all surprised.
The reclusive Second Princess actually sent someone to invite them over?
Nasha asked Shu Li with her eyes. Shu Li hesitated for a few seconds and nodded at Nasha.
They had originally attended the party to search for clues about Leon's disappearance. Now that someone had come to their house specifically, they naturally wanted to find out what was going on.
As for whether it is a trap, you can tell with your knees that it must be.
However, you can't get a tiger cub without learning the tiger's den.
Shu Li didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
So the three of them put down their half-eaten food, followed the servant out of the palace through a side door, and turned into a dark corridor.
Shu Li took the lead, with Nasha and Siti following behind him. In case of any accident, he was strong and could cast magic instantly to protect the two of them.
No one knew where the servant was taking them. After turning many corners and passing through several doors, they finally arrived at their destination.
This is a relatively quiet little palace, with no maids waiting to be dispatched at any time.
The attendant who brought them here stopped at the door and made an inviting gesture. "Her Royal Highness the Princess is inside. Please come in."
"Thank you." Shu Li thanked him politely.
The servant was flattered to be thanked by the beautiful girl and treated them more respectfully, giving them a kind reminder before they entered.
"Please trust me, Princess."
After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for Shu Li's reaction.
Shu Li looked at his back, thoughtful.
Siti asked in confusion, "What does he mean?"
The Second Princess was on their suspect list, and now she invited them to this remote palace with ulterior motives.
Nasha shook her head. "Go in and take a look first."
Shu Li agreed, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
The Second Prince has demonic energy, and the Second Princess is probably connected to the demons, so if they dare to attack them, he will release Farm.
The three of them stopped talking, walked through the gate of the small palace and went inside.
The palace is elegantly decorated, with illuminated magic stones inlaid on the pillars, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere in the room.
Sitting on the single sofa in the living room was an elegant silver-haired woman wearing a high-level magic robe. She was holding a book full of magic runes and reading it intently.
What surprised Shu Li and others was that there was another person in the room.
The second prince Aesop Snow.
He stood behind the silver-haired woman and looked at the three people who came in with an indifferent expression.
Nasha was stunned when she saw him, and couldn't guess why he was here.
Could it be that... she and Sperian refused to dance with him at the banquet, and he complained to the Second Princess, who then invited them over to question him?
The second prince is already 28 years old, so he can’t be so childish, right?
Seeing her in a daze, Shu Li touched her arm lightly and subtly, reminding her that it was time to greet the Second Princess.
Nasha came back to her senses in an instant, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and bowed gracefully to the silver-haired woman.
"Hello, Your Highness, I'm Nasha Kailan, nice to meet you."
Shu Li was now wearing women's clothing and followed Siti in bowing.
Upon hearing this, the Second Princess closed the book in her hand and raised a face that looked like the Second Prince.
Or rather, the second prince looks like her.
The ice-blue eyes looked at Nasha from head to toe, making Nasha's scalp tingle.
The second princess, like the second prince, has a cold personality and looks at people with no warmth.
Thinking of the evil spirit of the second prince, Nasha couldn't help but feel nervous.
Perhaps noticing Nasha's discomfort, the second princess said, "You and Leon are very similar."
Nasha couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she said cautiously, "I haven't seen my brother in ten years."
The Second Princess glanced at Shuli and Siti behind her and smiled faintly: "Please sit down."
After Nasha thanked them, the three of them sat on the sofa together.
The Second Princess placed the book in her hand on the coffee table in front of her and her eyes fell on Shu Li. "I heard from Aesop that you refused his invitation to dance at the banquet."
The topic suddenly turned to herself, and a hint of surprise flashed in Shu Li's eyes.
No way? No way? No way?
Did the second prince really complain to his mother?
"Uh...please forgive me, Princess..." Shu Li apologized dryly, looking up and glancing quickly at the silver-haired young man.
"Ahem." Aesop held a handkerchief in his hand and half covered his mouth.
The second princess said, "Don't be nervous. I don't blame you. If he refused, then he refused. He is too weak to finish a dance."
Being disliked by his own mother, Aesop remained expressionless.
Shu Li looked embarrassed.
The Second Princess picked up the teacup on the table, took two sips, and asked, "I heard that you are students of the Saint Villiers School of Magic?"
Nasha nodded: "Yes."
"St. Villiers School of Magic... I really miss it." The Second Princess sighed, "Actually, I was also a student at St. Villiers School of Magic, but I haven't officially graduated yet!"
"ah?"
The three people on the couch were shocked.
What?
The second princess of the Snow Country turned out to be their "senior"!
The Second Princess smiled and said, "When I stayed in the Snow Country, I was a low-level mage. Thirty years later, my magic level has only been raised to that of a high-level mage. You all know the rules of the academy. You can't graduate unless you become a mage saint. So, I am still a student at Saint Vilia Academy."
The identity of the second princess really surprised Shu Li and the other two.
Most magicians who can enter Saint Vilia Academy are gifted and have a certain level of character.
They really didn't want to think of her as a bad person who was colluding with monsters.
"Um... did you go back to the academy to take the final exam?" Siti said shockingly.
silent--
Shu Li was very upset.
Siti is too careless and keeps bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic!
Isn't it said that the Second Princess rarely goes out? She definitely didn't return to the academy for her final exams.
"No," the Second Princess replied good-naturedly, "I wrote a letter to Principal Gabriel, informing her of my situation. She expressed her understanding and exempted me from the final exam."
"I see!" Siti said enviously, "I'm so happy that I don't have to take exams."
The final exam is very difficult and covers a wide range of content. If you fail, you have to retake it. If you fail the retake, you can keep retaking it until you pass.
In short, final exams are every magic student's nightmare.
Fortunately, she had the help of the little fairies to review, and she passed the final exams of the past two years safely.
Nasha nudged her shoulder.
They came to inquire about information, not to meet fellow alumni.
After calming herself down, Nasha decided to get straight to the point. "Princess, is there anything you need from us?"
"You call the First Princess aunt, why don't you call me aunt?" The Second Princess looked at Nasha.
Nasha was speechless.
Because she had a preconceived notion that her brother was threatened by the second princess and the second prince, she had to flee the palace.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the Second Princess sighed and said, "I called you here to tell you to leave the palace as soon as possible. If you have the chance, it's best to leave the Snow Country."
The three people on the sofa were stunned.
"Why?" Nasha was confused.
The Second Princess looked at her sharply and said, "If you don't want to become a sacrifice to the Sword of Boshug, take your companions and leave the Snow Kingdom immediately."
Nasha's pupils contracted, revealing an incredible look.
Shu Li was even more surprised.
A sacrifice for the sword of Boshug?
What's going on?
Siti held her cheeks and asked in confusion, "Isn't the Sword of Boshug a magic sword bestowed upon the Snow Country by the gods? Why does it require a sacrifice?"
The second princess waved her hand to her son behind her, signaling him to explain.
Aesop looked at the three girls on the sofa and said calmly, "Ever since Queen Dalia sent the Sword of Persuger back to the Snow Kingdom, it has fallen into the hands of the First Prince. Unfortunately, he is not the chosen master of the magic sword and cannot pull out the sword. My father asked me to try, but I couldn't pull it out either."
The Sword of Bershug has not recognized its master, but the Sword of Itno has recognized Leon as its master. Then, according to the ancient royal rules, Leon will be the only heir to the Snow Kingdom.
The king, the first princess, and the first prince were all unwilling to accept this result.
"... Half a year ago, the First Prince Onaro claimed to have found a way to awaken the demonic sword. By sacrificing someone with the blood of the Snow Kingdom royal family, the seal could be lifted and the sword of Boshug could be unsheathed. Ahem—"
The silver-haired young man took a deep breath and continued, "Half a year ago, I became the first sacrifice. If it weren't for my mother saving me, I would have long since become a pile of bones."
Shu Li looked at his pale face and was shocked.
Alice said that the second prince had fallen seriously ill half a year ago and had not recovered yet, which was why he looked so sick.
As a result, the second prince told them that he was chosen as a sacrifice by the first prince and almost died.
It was previously speculated that the second princess and the second prince were suspects, but the first prince was ignored.
No wonder the King, the First Princess, and Princess Alice are so enthusiastic about Nasha!
It turns out they wanted her to be a sacrifice!
Leon escaped from the palace in the middle of the night, probably because he knew the king's family's intentions.
Nasha had no idea and came to the door at this time. How could the king's family not be happy?
After sorting out the clues, the three of them couldn't help but shudder.
It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.
People who seem enthusiastic are actually vicious at heart.
"How do you prove that what you said is true?" Shu Li looked directly at Aesop, "I sense a demonic aura in you."
Aesop frowned, remained silent, his expression gloomy, and he exuded a cold aura that kept strangers away.
If someone didn't know him, they would probably stay away from him by now.
The Second Princess looked at Shu Li and praised her, "You are quite good. You can actually detect the demonic energy in Aesop."
Shu Li said, "Please help us solve this mystery, Princess."
The Second Princess did not hide it: "It was the aftereffects of being a sacrifice. I mixed a potion to suppress the evil spirit in his body."
Nasha's expression changed slightly. "You mean... the First Prince's solution is to cooperate with the monsters?"
"That's right." The second princess nodded. "That monster is very powerful. I'm no match for it, and neither are you. If you want to survive, you'd better leave here."
Shu Li asked, "Aren't you afraid of others finding out that you're talking to us?"
The second princess smiled and said, "I am the princess. They won't do anything to me. While there is still time, follow Aesop and leave the palace through the tunnel!"
"Now?" Shu Li frowned. "I have two companions at the banquet."
The second princess said, "Don't worry. When I asked you to come here, I also sent someone to invite them. Calculating the time, they should be here by now."
