Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 28 28. Allegiance

"Let's go." Dimitri stood up, and candles were already lit in the Sivir Cathedral.

"Can I ask you to accompany me to the temple behind the church?" Licia thought that since she came to Sivir Church, she would go to the temple behind it to get a so-called undead thorn.

"The temple? Do you want to cut a thorn thorn?" Dimitri recalled that Licia had used an immortal thorn in her daily training.

Licia nodded.

"Why, the coat of arms cannot be engraved on the thorn bar, and the power is not strong enough."

Licia didn't want to answer because her coat of arms had a lot to do with thorns. "I went to the weapon shop before, and the shop owner told me that the undead thorns growing around the temple are of the best quality."

Dimitri stood up. "Let's go."

The two walked out of the church side by side and walked towards the only temple in Lantcos City.

In the night, Yingying could see the outline of the mountain where the School of Arms was located.

"After your father was dismissed, the imperial guards were assigned to the d'Urberwell family, but there must be many officers and soldiers loyal to your Campbell family." Dimitri's arm touched Licia's Back, he was very close, and his voice was very low.

"The d'Urberwell family is loyal to the church, and my father, he has never said a good word about the church in his life." Dimitri's meaning is obvious, and he is wondering whether the person sitting on the throne is his father.

"I need you, you go to contact those officers and soldiers who are loyal to your family." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words always went straight to the point.

Licia didn't give herself any time to think about it, and agreed very decisively, although she knew nothing about the family business.

The crown prince asked for her, and she will definitely have the power to ask for the royal family.

"You are very suitable to be a capable minister, not a girl waiting to be married." This was already the best words His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could think of.

Licia was not in the mood to judge this type of words, how many people had Dimitri told. "Thank you for your appreciation."

The temperature at night is very low, and the temperature of the temple in the wilderness is even lower.

The walls were covered with hoarfrost, but Lycia saw the silver bramble at a glance.

Dimitri raised the torch higher. "Are you sure you need this one?"

The silver one looks noticeably thinner than the brownish gray surrounding it.

"Yes, just this one." Licia grabbed it with her hands, and blood beads were immediately pricked out of her fingertips.

"Why are the thorns hard?"

Dimitri drew his short blade, and Keigan chopped off the silver thorn. "It will soften in a few days."

Licia wiped off the blood on her fingertips, and then wrapped the ends of the silver thorns with a handkerchief.

She was about to stand up.

Suddenly heard a very small voice coming from the ground.

"What's the matter?" Dimitri thought that her fingers were too sore, and she didn't want to stand up, so she inserted the short blade into the silver scabbard, and also squatted down. "Finger hurt..."

"Hush." ​​Licia was listening intently to the voice from the ground.

Dimitri looked at her suspiciously because he couldn't hear anything.

But he didn't bother Licia, and didn't make a sound from the side.

'The illegitimate child must be found. If the crown prince is to succeed, it is better to continue. . "The voice suddenly quieted down, and then Licia heard footsteps.

"Let's go." She didn't care how thorny the thorns that were only wrapped in a handkerchief were, she held the silver thorns with one hand, and grabbed Dimitri's clothes with the other, and walked away from the temple. run in the direction.

On the way, he was led by Dimitri to change the direction and ran to the Tianma stable.

"Get on the horse." Dimitri called his Pegasus, pulled Licia up, and let her sit behind him.

Under the cover of night, the two quickly left the area where the temple and Sivir Cathedral were located.

Pegasus parked on the Academy terrace.

Dimitri helped Licia off the horse, and he looked down to see bloodstains on Licia's white robe. "Bandage your wounds first, and then tell me what you heard."

The two were sitting in the empty college classroom. Dimitri was looking for some materials and made a simple healing circle.

Lycia's hands were full of small cuts, which soon stopped bleeding.

"His Royal Highness, does His Majesty the Emperor have an illegitimate child?" All these years she had only heard that His Majesty the Emperor was weak in terms of fertility, and none of the mistresses left any children, only a son and a daughter of him and Queen Till.

Dimitri rearranged his slightly messy blond hair. "Three years ago, little boy, but he was executed by my aunt."

He seemed to be immersed in a terrible memory.

"An illegitimate child will bring endless troubles to the royal family and the entire Thorn Empire." Dimitri rested his elbows on the table, with his index finger and stop supporting his eyebrows.

"Just now, just under the temple, I heard something." Licia stroked the uneven wound on her palm. "The illegitimate child must be found. If the Crown Prince succeeds, it is better to continue," she repeated in full.

"It seems that the little boy is not dead, and the people of the temple or the church don't want you to succeed." Licia said.

Dimitri raised his head, took his hands off the table, and put them on his knees. "Yes, of course, I have had this feeling for a long time. I have doubted the temple since the gray bird came to the ball to announce the funeral."

"It's just that the little boy didn't die. He should be ten years old now." Dimitri looked at Licia.

"You need to find him before the church." Licia paused.

"Then kill him." After Dimitri finished speaking, he handed the dagger to Licia. "I believe you will not tell anyone about today's conversation. Here is the silver moon for you. The thorns can only attack enemies at a distance."

Licia took the dagger and answered Dimitri with an extremely firm voice. "Of course, Your Highness, I am loyal to the Thorn Empire, and I will also be loyal to you."

She couldn't help but glanced at Dimitri's favorability, 20.00% five, very good, much higher than before.

Temple.

Futespa's feet were suspended ten centimeters from the ground, looking at the apparently chopped thorns on the wall, beside her stood three hooded people.

"It's her again."

One of them plucked off the blood-stained leaves, and held his hands before Futespa.

"Keep it well, it will be used in the future." Futespa let the magic circle of light float in the air, aiming at the footprints on the ground. "There is one more person, it should be our Crown Prince."
