Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Miaomiao should still prefer to be...
Martha still finds it hard to believe what happened that night.
She was compiling intelligence on the nobles of the royal city when the guards outside the palace suddenly rushed in, holding the Fourth Prince's secret agent planted near the seriously ill King.
The dark figure was hit by two arrows, covered in blood, and was already dying.
Seeing the Fourth Prince, he struggled and rushed over, choking on a pool of blood foam before he could finish his words: "Your Highness... Something has happened in the palace..."
"The king... the king is dead..."
“!”
The fourth prince suddenly stood up, and his movement was so large that he even overturned the order on the table.
"what happened?!"
Martha used magic to temporarily keep the hidden line alive, and listened to the whole story from his intermittent but clear narration.
When approaching the king's bedroom for the night shift change, the light circle outside the palace opened as usual for the maids who came to deliver medicine.
A maid half-lifted the king's body, and when another maid fed him the medicine, the medicine spoon in her palm suddenly turned into a dagger with a cold glow, and before anyone in the hall could react, it fiercely stabbed into the king's heart!
Screams and exclamations rang out one after another. The servants nearby rushed over and tried to subdue him. There was a loud bang when he landed, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared.
The crackling sound of peeling was accompanied by the gradual disintegration of the light magic circle. The king's bedroom - to be more precise, the invisible protective shield of the entire palace disappeared without a trace in a few seconds.
The eldest prince, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the dungeon and tortured, appeared intact, with a sinister look on his face. He led a large number of fully armed knights and soldiers into the palace with the door open, quickly occupied the key areas, and surrounded the palace tightly.
Then they began to massacre the guards and maids in the palace.
All the people that the four princes had forced into the palace were slaughtered, but he was the only one who was favored by light and had magical powers. Even after being shot, he was able to find the right moment to run out of the palace and come to report.
Anxian had lost too much blood, and Martha's magic had little effect on him. After he barely managed to finish speaking, he closed his eyes and died completely.
The fourth prince reacted quickly and immediately took out the Griffin Token, thinking that he could still fight if he called in the Tam Knights before dawn.
Who would have thought that the accident would happen in the blink of an eye?
A streak of white starlight rolled past the window, followed by a translucent light shield that came crashing down with a "buzz", like an inverted glass bowl, tightly wrapping the prince's residence.
The fourth prince: "..."
Martha: "..."
Martha took a deep breath and asked, "How many Light-Favored Ones are there in the Prince's Mansion now?"
Arwen: "...Including me, there are three of us."
Martha looked at the light barrier outside, which was similar in level to the palace, and closed her eyes peacefully.
"With my current strength, I can only let one person out." She said helplessly, silently repeating that everything was for Lady Cecilia.
"I'll take you out first."
"Take the token and go find Tam for support."
A demon and a man spoke at the same time.
Martha frowned, disagreeing: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince is the next king supported by Miss Yulia. No matter what, I must ensure your safety first."
Hearing her mention Lin Miao, Alwen's brows softened unconsciously, and a flash of joy flashed across his honey-brown pupils.
He shook his head. "No, take the token and go inform Yulia to bring the Tam Knights for support. I have to stay here—the Great Prince is targeting me, and he won't give up until he finds me."
Martha was just a palace maid, so the chances of her escaping without being discovered were much greater.
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard outside the palace gate. Seeing that Martha was still hesitating, Alvin forced the token into her hand and urged her, "He won't kill me right away. Hurry and leave, then we have a chance!!"
Martha knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she obeyed his command, channeling her magic power and stabbing at the most hidden corner of the barrier. A pink mist enveloped her, and she rushed out of the besieged Fourth Prince's Mansion in one swift move.
Martha had wanted to use the sound transmission mirror to inform Cecilia immediately, but this barrier of light had an unknown origin, and the spiritual energy it emitted covered an area of 100 miles. The sound transmission mirror, which essentially relied on magic to maintain communication, was directly scrapped.
The undercover demon, who was exhausted and isolated, looked at the fierce battle in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, gritted his teeth, and overdrew his magic power to activate the teleportation spell.
However, as soon as she stepped into the military camp of the Tam Knights, her keen intuition reminded her that something was amiss.
As the most valiant and battle-hardened elite troops of the Kingdom of Krez, there must be some people on duty even in the dead of night. How could it be pitch black without even the slightest movement?
Martha endured the pain in her meridians and carefully released her magic breath to explore the area. She found that more than 3,000 people in the entire legion were in a coma, some deeper or some lesser, and all of them had traces of light spells cast on them.
Martha was completely stunned.
But it doesn't matter.
After her brain was confused for a few seconds, she fainted due to the oppression of the spiritual energy of this military camp.
“…”
When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Having recovered a little of her magic power, Martha poured it all into the sound transmission mirror and hurriedly dialed back to the channel of the Le Palace's master's office.
Unexpectedly, Cecilia was not there, and the person who answered the message was Ling Yan, who was in charge of human affairs.
…
Lin Miao rubbed his swollen forehead and struggled to suppress the urge to curse his father: "Alvin is right about one thing. Once the eldest prince takes control of the situation, he will definitely find ways to torture him and won't let him die so easily."
"It's only been a day, we can still turn the tables."
Cecilia looked at her and frowned. "They were able to break the palace's magic circle and put over 3,000 people into a coma. Heaven must have been involved."
"Perhaps it was that person who took direct action." Lin Miao pursed his lips. "After all, a bird told me that 'Him' has awakened."
"!" Cecilia was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure. She chuckled, "To interfere in human affairs, He truly is..."
As they spoke, they were all stunned.
Seeing that the man and the demon were suddenly silent, Ling Yan couldn't help but asked anxiously, "What happened...?"
Lin Miao looked at him with the Demon King's memories, as if he were looking at a talented young demon. He patiently explained, "The three realms of the Holy Continent each have their own laws of operation. Humans don't have the power to rival demons and angels. Correspondingly, Heaven and Hell cannot arbitrarily interfere with the human world. Even the God of Light is subject to restrictions."
That's why Gabriel said that the three-headed dog could not kill the human king, so the plague that plagued the kingdom a hundred years ago was ultimately caused by humans.
"So it wasn't Heaven that was helping the Grand Prince," Cecilia added, "at least not the one who actually did it."
"Can we still contact Martha?" Lin Miao asked.
Ling Yan shook her head: "She said she would wait for you at the Tam Knights' barracks."
"Okay." Lin Miao nodded and gave Cecilia another brief hug.
"Sissi, I'll leave hell to you."
"...I know," Cecilia moved her lips and whispered, "Even when I lost my memory, I never slacked off in training the army... I will always be your most trusted instructor..."
She stopped abruptly again, as if she couldn't believe what she had said.
"It seems that Sissi has remembered something."
Lin Miao smiled and said, "Of course I trust you, just like I did a hundred years ago."
*
The human world, the forest outside the royal city.
Lin Miao threw the scales back into the storage ring and glanced at the demon in front of him who had just finished his nesting period and was dressed in gorgeous yet neat clothes.
"Miaomiao."
The three-headed dog was wearing a dark brown military coat with dark gold piping on the shoulders, revealing a black stand-up collar uniform underneath, with copper buttons fastened meticulously at the collar.
"Miao Miao finally remembered me?"
He absorbed the surging malice bit by bit, adhering to the eldest wife's idea that Errol had warned him not to question, to be magnanimous, to be tolerant, and even if he wanted to tear the shameless mistresses apart in private, he must never make trouble in front of the master. He incorporated it into a resentful "accusation" and tried his best to make his tone without any resentment.
"After you met the bird, you went straight to the Palace of Music... I almost thought Miaomiao had abandoned your puppy."
With dark eyes and a sticky and feminine tone, it was undoubtedly jealous Shou Anwei who occupied his body at this moment.
When Lin Miao first saw An Wei, perhaps because of the extra memories, he felt as if he was in another world.
She opened her mouth skillfully and said, "How could that be? You are my favorite dog. I look for them for my career, but looking for you is like going home."
"Look, when I needed the devil's help to return to the human world, wasn't you the first person I summoned?"
go home……
Home……
Home.
The damp, evil devil was then coaxed into spinning around again; a tail protruded from its coccyx, as if it was about to reach the sky.
“Miaomiao…”
He came over limply.
Lin Miao stretched out her hand, and the big dog bent down meekly, placed its head in her palm, and rubbed it gently and consciously.
"An Wei." Lin Miao stroked his well-maintained, smooth long hair as if rewarding him. "Finally, you stopped playing 'Guess Who You Are' with me. That's progress."
An Wei raised his head slightly, his dark eyes brimming with obscure emotions, which he eventually eliminated, leaving only a damp, sticky smile. "This game... guess who it is... Miaomiao probably prefers playing it on the bed, right?"
“…”
Lin Miao's face instantly turned dark and she vowed never to tease him again.
This dog can say that black and white are yellow!
"Let's go into the royal city first." She pushed his shoulder and said unhappily.
When I re-entered the Royal City of Kretz, the scene was completely different.
The news that the eldest prince led his troops to force the palace and kill his father spread throughout the royal city within one night.
The streets and alleys were lined with armored soldiers standing guard, and occasionally there were knights on tall horses patrolling, with the sound of horse hooves clattering.
The windows and doors of every household were closed, the once bustling streets and markets were deserted, and everything was silent.
Lin Miao and An Wei were walking in secret when they passed by a notice wall covered with new red paint. The notice said something like "From today on, the eldest prince will be the regent. Before he succeeds to the throne, the royal city will be under martial law and no outsiders are allowed to enter." The words were quite arrogant.
“…”
