As Sylvia spoke, the atmosphere between the two sisters suddenly changed, and even Xu Xianxian took a small step back in embarrassment.
"Of course I know these secrets. But, my dear sister, you are mistaken about one thing."
Ophelia glanced at her knight, then set her gaze on Sylvia.
"...What's up?"
Sylvia frowned and asked subconsciously.
"That is, I am different from my father and the others."
Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess's white pupils sparkled, and her expression was sincere and serious.
Innocent...!
Sylvia didn't react at all. Xu Xianxian, who was watching from the side, was almost laughing out loud.
The Seventh Princess's death flag was flying high. She was now more and more certain that she had died in a political struggle. With such an upright character, she was suitable to be a king, but not to be an emperor.
A king can be bright, kind, fearless, and upright, so most kings in history have glorious lives, but their endings are basically defeat and death.
Those who achieve the throne basically use every possible means, using both uprightness and conspiracy, combining the light and the dark, and their actions are all thunderous, leaving others no room for resistance.
'Tigers don't hurt people, but people have the desire to kill them.'
Xu Xianxian looked at Ophelia who was defending herself seriously, but sighed in her heart.
Even she, an outsider, understood that even if the Seventh Princess did nothing, the other princes and princesses would not show mercy.
The two sisters then debated for a few more sentences, but neither of them convinced the other, and they ended the topic on bad terms.
Watching her fourth sister leave in a rage, Ophelia sighed deeply and drank the wine in the crystal glass. Then she looked at Xu Xianxian beside her and said helplessly, "Natalie, what are you laughing at?"
I was clearly just laughing in my heart and didn't laugh out loud, you bastard!
Can you read minds?!
Xu Xianxian was startled, but on the surface, she pretended to be serious and shook her head: "Your Highness, I didn't laugh secretly."
"Really?"
Ophelia looked at the little fairy deeply, reached out and patted the other's head, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't laugh at the master in the future, even if it's just in your mind."
"Forehead..."
Xu Xianxian lowered her head in embarrassment and did not respond.
If she answered, wouldn't that mean she was mocking the princess in her heart?
......
When the dinner was over, Xu Xianxian left the palace and got on a special carriage, ready to go home.
The Seventh Princess still had many procedures to complete, such as matters concerning her fiefdom and the army. After she officially left for her fiefdom, Xu Xianxian would also have to go with her. By then, returning home would become an extremely luxurious thing.
Leaning against the seat of the Pegasus carriage, Xu Xianxian's golden helmet slowly shattered and disintegrated, revealing her delicate and lovely pink face. The numerous powerful people in the palace had brought her immense psychological pressure, but now that they were gone, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I would never want to come to a place like this again, even if I die."
Xu Xianxian lifted the curtains and glanced at the palace complex behind her. A hint of helplessness flashed in her scarlet pupils.
When I get home, I take a good shower and then sleep until dawn.
Pegasus flew in the air for about ten minutes. Xu Xianxian, who was leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.
At this moment, several lights appeared in front of the carriage. She didn't even look at them, but just exhaled. In an instant, they crystallized in mid-air and condensed into several blood-red roses, blocking those few lights outside.
Ding ding ding——
Several sharp sounds were heard in succession, and then under the confrontation of magic power, the entire carriage exploded in mid-air and scattered into pieces on the ground.
Xu Xianxian fell from mid-air and stood in a somewhat desolate bush, looking at the man in black in front of her.
The other person was standing not far away, emitting a shadowy aura and distorting the surrounding light.
"Who are you..."
Xu Xianxian's eyes showed some doubt, but she stroked the magic scabbard in her arms, and the heavy blood-red giant sword fell in front of her.
This was a gift from Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess before leaving the palace. The scabbard has its own space that can shrink and accommodate this extremely large sword, so that Xu Xianxian will not be affected in her daily life.
As soon as the red-haired fairy asked the question, the figure of the black-clad assassin disappeared instantly, followed by a strong wind.
"Shadow Assassin, Yukara."
The wind whistled with a sharp sound that broke through the air. The surrounding trees could not withstand such an impact and were blown apart and broken one after another by the strong wind. For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the whole place was in a mess.
The red-haired fairy's long hair was blown behind her head. She stood there in a daze as if she was frightened. Her delicate and cute face still had a lingering childishness.
Yukala will not hold back on the underage Natalie. As an assassin walking in darkness and shadow, he will not have any mercy on his target.
Bang!
The dagger in Yukala's hand hit the target, but there was no sound of flesh breaking, but rather a sound of hitting a solid wall heavily.
The strong wind stopped at this moment.
Xu Xianxian's somewhat messy red curly hair fell back onto her shoulders. She held the nearly two-meter-long blood-red giant sword diagonally, blocking the way in front of her.
"I was once a martial artist. Although I possessed powerful close combat abilities, my greatest weakness was my complete ignorance of mystical powers."
"But now it's different. I'm a fairy. I have the innate racial advantages. I can master the secrets of the elements and operate various powerful magics."
Any fairy is born with an affinity for magic.
Unlike humans or other creatures, they can still freely control the power of elements even if they leave the magic network. However, if they really leave the magic network to cast spells, the power of the magic will be severely weakened.
'So, I have no shortcomings.'
Scarlet blood began to seep out of the red-haired fairy's scarlet pupils, and a pattern of blood-red petals appeared in the center of her eyebrows.
Boom——
A red light instantly lit up on the blood-red giant sword. Yukala subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but a huge attraction came from the place where the dagger touched the giant sword, making him unable to move at all.
"How could this be...?"
He is a nine-ring assassin. Logically speaking, he should be able to kill this five-ring fairy like a greenhouse flower instantly. How could he be restrained by it?
But at this moment, Yukala didn't have time to think too much. He decisively cut off his wrist and allowed the black dagger and his right hand to be absorbed by the blade of the giant sword.
But just as his figure lurked in the shadows, he felt his whole body tremble, and an inexplicable huge force came from around him, squeezing him out of the shadows.
Yukala's figure reappeared about ten meters away from Xu Xianxian, and when he was about to take action.
A bloody shadow enveloped him.
Snap——
