She came to heal him, to save him...
Samuel's heart softened.
The huge body quickly shrank into a small black shadow, which gently wrapped around her wrist.
Shen Zhiyi's tense expression relaxed.
He crossed his arm, raised it in front of himself, and gently tapped the little black snake's head.
"good."
Samus lost control and rubbed his head against her fingertips.
It coiled quietly around her wrist like a snake bracelet.
Shen Zhiyi turned around and said loudly to the panicked people: "The crisis has been resolved, everyone don't have to be afraid!"
"This princess swears here that she will never give up on any of her subjects so easily!"
"Even a berserk orc!"
In this world, the proportion of orcs is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Since she wants to be the ruler of the empire, these people are naturally within the scope of her protection.
"Please believe that this princess has the ability to protect you and the empire!"
"What happened today was done deliberately by someone!"
"The berserk orcs aren't scary. What's scary are those who exploit them for their own evil purposes and disregard the lives of the people!"
She glanced coldly at Ana Shen who was lying on the ground.
Ana Shen’s face turned pale, her eyes avoided, and she moved back.
People immediately started talking about it.
"What does the eldest princess mean by this?"
"That black snake went crazy. Was it someone who did it on purpose?"
"Did you hear what the Second Princess said just now? I was close, I heard her tell the First Princess that she didn't care whether we lived or died!"
"It was the princess who cured the black snake and saved us!"
Shen Zhiyi pointed at the broken glass on the ground and said loudly: "Everyone, please look, there is sulfur powder mixed in here, which is something that will drive snakes crazy."
The surface of the glass cage is too smooth, and once a snake enters, it cannot crawl out.
"And this energy crystal." She picked up a crystal from the ground and said, "As long as you inject an image into it, it can make people see illusions."
She lowered her head and looked at the little black snake.
"You jumped in because you saw me 'locked' in there, right?"
The little snake on her wrist gently rubbed her skin.
His vertical pupils were full of grievance.
The people burst into shouts.
“There are actually such bad people!”
"You're taking advantage of the orcs' kindness and our fear to take their lives!"
"And you want to ruin the reputation of the eldest princess!"
"Who is this person?"
Shen Zhiyi approached Ana Shen step by step, his eyes completely cold.
She can take the struggle.
But she will never tolerate anyone using such means to hurt those around her and challenge her authority!
“What do you want to do?” Shen Xiya collapsed all over and crawled back in fear, “I am the second princess of the empire. If you dare to do anything to me, my mother will not let you go!”
“Challenging the royal authority, framing and persecuting royal family members, and inciting civil unrest, his crimes should be punished.” Shen Zhiyi said calmly, slowly raising the Ice Feather Arrow.
"I won't kill you, but..."
She suddenly drew her bow!
A series of cold rays of light formed a cage around Shen Xiya!
"Your talent for causing trouble must not be allowed to stay."
Shen Zhiyi put down the bow and arrow, and a huge ball of energy gathered at his fingertips.
The terrifying suction force was born instantly and rushed towards Shen Xiya's head.
"No! My talent!"
"Chen Zhiyi! How dare you deprive me of my talent! Ah——!"
Shen Xiya let out a shrill scream.
In her body, the core strength that belonged to her was being extracted and crushed bit by bit!
Severe pain swept through my body.
Her eyes went dark and she passed out completely.
Shen Zhiyi withdrew his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Inform Colonel Leo that Bingjing City is unable to protect the safety of the people, let alone persuade the Second Princess. She condones her evil deeds, knows nothing about it and does not report it, and she despises the royal family."
"This princess hereby orders that all Astoria's supply business to the royal family be halted until they offer a sincere apology."
She didn’t look at Ana Shen again.
He left the Ice Crystal City with Samus, amidst the people's kneeling farewell.
*
The royal bedroom.
As soon as Shen Zhiyi entered the room, Samus transformed into a human form and hugged her tightly.
"Princess……"
Shen Zhiyi pushed him away, his expression slightly cold, “Explain.”
She walked over to the sofa and sat down, looking down at him.
"Why has your ability reached S-level?"
"Also, since you've already reached S-rank, why did you get tricked by such a simple illusion and fall into that glass cage?"
Samuel's heart skipped a beat.
He closed the door and walked up to her, "Princess, I..."
"Kneel down." Shen Zhiyi raised the tip of her shoe and kicked his knee.
Samuel's Adam's apple rolled.
Staring at her, he slowly knelt down...
