Chapter 39: Bad News
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
The same sentence came to everyone's mind.
Did Scarlett have a brain? She actually arranged it so well?
Shouldn't she have been foolish enough to keep Captain Holtes, lock him up in Huldah Palace, and let him return to his original form and fend for himself?
Councilman Riley was a good example!
Holtes was also a little shocked when he heard this, and finally raised his head to look at Scarlett.
Scarlett was right in front of him, her head slightly tilted, as if she was looking at him, but not looking at him. Her eyes were as cold as before, but without the sinister malice.
Only then did he realize that Scarlett's eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful, like the sun hanging high in the sky, with a brightness that was too bright to look directly at.
His pupils moved and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking himself.
What? Did her casual remark make you forget the viciousness behind it?
Most of the protective scales on his body are missing. Didn't she pull them off one by one?
Hortes' expression suddenly turned cold, his pupils narrowed, and he returned to his previous alertness.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
He stood up and returned to the flying ship. The moment the hatch closed, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Scarlett.
Scarlett is gone.
All that was left for him was a back view.
Her back was a little hunched, but her steps were extremely agile, and she disappeared from his sight in a flash.
At this moment, Holtes felt a sudden pain in his heart, and his breathing seemed to be strangled for a second. A feeling of suffocation came over him and surrounded him, and his body began to tense uncontrollably.
The tiny scales on his neck began to grow wildly.
His face, his hands, his body hidden under the military uniform all felt sharp and stinging pains, as if something had pierced his skin and grown out.
"Captain! Your face!"
The last words Holtes heard before he fainted were Graham's hoarse shouts.
He didn't have time to respond, his eyelids drooped, and his whole body was immersed in darkness, unable to escape.
…
…
As soon as she entered the inner courtyard of the Herda Palace, Scarlett saw Dzeko head-on.
He changed into a peacock blue major's uniform, with his belt neatly worn, a ribbon hanging on his shoulder, a white tiger military emblem on his chest, some light weapons on his waist, and black military boots, standing under the cherry tree in the yard.
His hair was as black as ink, his skin was pale, and his amber eyes were pure and distant. He stared at the clouds in the blue sky in a trance.
Clusters of cherry blossoms were like crimson clouds, and a few petals fell on Zheke's shoulders. He was completely unaware until Scarlett walked into the inner courtyard. He smelled her scent, his eyelids moved, and he slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Scarlett.
The two looked at each other.
Scarlett was stunned.
The deer in her heart was beating wildly and almost killed her.
It is said that men in military uniforms are the most handsome, and beauties standing under cherry trees are the most beautiful.
Now it seems that netizens were not deceiving her!
Dzeko has a handsome face and is extremely cold. Scarlett secretly labeled him "Ice Face". Now...
Ascetic handsome man!!!
"Your Highness."
Dzeko stepped forward, half-bent his waist, saluted Scarlett, and said slowly: "The Fourteenth Legion has issued an urgent call, and I must return to the team immediately."
The Zerg, an advanced race born from a black hole, are extremely intelligent and have strong reproductive abilities. They have always wanted to annex all the major interstellar systems, and they are arrogant and will attack resource-rich planets at any cost.
Holst was injured.
The Oranrosa Empire immediately strengthened its protective shield, the army entered level one alert, and all soldiers returned to their units to prepare for battle and prevent the Zerg invasion.
Scarlett understood, nodded, and said, "Okay, go ahead, and be careful."
To Scarlett, the four words "Be careful" are just simple spoken language, just like the "Hi" you say when greeting a friend, and have no special meaning.
When Dzeko heard this, a different feeling came over him. His eyebrows twitched. He originally just wanted to say hello to Scarlett and leave as a sign of respect.
But now, he paused for a few seconds, nodded his head slightly, responded with a "hmm", and paused for a few more seconds before leaving the inner courtyard.
Scarlett reluctantly watched him leave and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk!" "So handsome."
"How handsome?"
“Very handsome.”
After saying that, Scarlett froze. Who was talking to her?
Turn around and take a look.
Chi Ye leaned against the carved golden pillar at the entrance of the inner hall and raised his eyebrows at her. A cynical smile appeared on his handsome face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
He said nothing and turned to go into the inner hall.
Are you jealous?
Scarlett thought jokingly.
Just as she was about to return to the bedroom, Lilia's stumbling figure came into her sight, and her frightened expression became clearer and clearer from far to near.
Scarlett stepped back in fear.
No way, no way.
Lilia.
You've already given me two pieces of bad news. I don't think there will be a third one today.
"Your Highness! It's bad! Captain Holst has gone mad!"
Scarlett's eyes went dark, and she wanted to faint but didn't dare to. She held Lilia's arm to steady her steps, "Hurry, take me there."
…
…
Scarlett followed Lilia to the treatment room.
The special treatment cabin at the innermost part kept making "bang bang bang" sounds, and the door was deformed, with countless fist-sized bulges appearing.
This is a door made of nuclear gold, the hardest material in the universe. The fact that it can be deformed is enough to show how violent the person inside is.
Scarlett didn't dare to get closer.
She huddled behind Lilia and asked timidly, "Didn't they send Holst to the Royal Infirmary? Why was he sent here?"
The current plot is exactly the same as the original plot.
Are you going to let us live?
"Your Highness, Captain Holst was severely injured and transformed back into his beast form within the flying ship. All the soothing agents on board have been used up, and he can't make it to the Royal Infirmary, so he has to return."
It was Graham who said this.
He still had three scars on his face from subduing Holst.
The bloody wound ran through the entire face, looking hideous and terrifying. Scarlett took one look and quickly looked away, stroking her chest to calm herself down.
She tried to comfort herself, saying that it was okay, the plot had happened and she could continue to make things right.
Didn’t she resolve the previous “Riley incident” perfectly?
It will definitely work this time!
Scarlett took a moment to calm down, then pulled herself together and ordered, "Lilia, go get Princess Sofia and tell her that Captain Holst's spiritual consciousness has collapsed and he urgently needs comfort."
The plot says that Holster has a mental breakdown and only the Queen and Sophia can save him.
The royal court was too far away from Huldah Palace. Even if the Queen could condescend to come, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, and there were too many variables. Scarlett did not dare to choose.
Then we can only ask Sophia.
This is a good thing. I can turn passivity into initiative and also get some credit for Sophia saving people. When Holst is rescued, I will also be one of the "heroes".
Lilia knew the matter was urgent, so she didn't dare to argue. She just answered "yes" and quickly rushed to the Yersai Palace.
