Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 4 4. Bullfinch
Posetti walked towards Licia, but seeing that she already had a partner, considering etiquette, Posetti stood on the edge of the dance floor and waited for the song to end.

"That's His Majesty's bird!"

Licia almost fell over because of this sentence, and the sound of the performance gradually became weaker at the end of the song.

Everyone in the hall looked towards the only glass window that was open, and the gray bird sat on the window frame and wailed.

"His Majesty is dead!" it repeated over and over and flew down from the window frame, and everyone fell to the ground, in the direction of the Academy Goddess.

The same is true for Licia, her forehead touched the ground, and she heard the sound of wings flapping back and forth above her head, feeling extremely absurd in her heart.

From the moment she entered the academy, she first discovered that other people's feelings for her had become a quantified progress bar, and then the king who had lived well died suddenly. The rhythm of these things was obviously different from the first 17 years of her life.

Her thoughts were still divergent, if the door hadn't been opened suddenly, church soldiers poured in, an arrow pierced the air, pierced the gray bird's chest, it fell not far from Licia, blue blood soaked the wooden floor.

"That's His Majesty's gray bird!" Crown Prince Dimitri stood up from the prostrate crowd.

Licia raised her neck and looked up at him. His blond hair was a little disheveled and his cuffs were stained with tears.

"His Royal Highness, this gray finch does not belong to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor is now in good health." The leader of the church army was a man with a goatee.

After he finished speaking, Dimitri was as astonished as everyone else.

He lost his composure so much that he kicked Princess Di Tata next to him while walking.

"Chris, are you responsible for your own words?" Dimitri has already adjusted his emotions, his tone has no fluctuations, and he has a flat accent unique to the royal family.

The nobles who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, and Licia got up all by herself. There was no one around the place where the gray bird died, and she was able to observe the bird carefully.

The area around the bird's wound had festered, giving off a putrid smell.

Yuan Yu was going to help Licia, but saw that she had already stood up, so he turned to Lin Xi, but Lin Xi had already been helped up by another man, and Yuan Yu stood awkwardly in the original place. land.

"Miss Licia, I apologize for my previous recklessness." Posetti moved to Licia's side, and looked down at the gray bird with her.

"It rots so fast, what kind of arrow is this?" Licia covered her nose with the side of her index finger, muttering to herself.

"From the point of view of the arrow feathers, it is the church's magic-breaking arrow. However, the magic-breaking arrow is famous for purification, and the wounds it usually causes are similar to burns, so it doesn't look like the magic-breaking arrow from the wound." Bo with the emblem of the bull Seti accepted the opening ceremony of heraldry power as early as two years ago, participated in many battles to exterminate alien beasts, and is proficient in the types and functions of weapons.

Soon the church army came to dispose of the gray bird's body, and the crown prince Dimitri had already left with the goatee.

The dance cannot go on.

Something has clearly happened at court, even though the emperor doesn't seem to be dead.

"You are very good at thinking." Posetti circled around Licia. If it was in the past, Licia might be attracted by this kind of man with great masculinity.

"Thank you for your compliment." Licia turned her head to look for Yuan Yu's figure, only to find that he was talking with Lin Xi with his head lowered. "By the way, Mr. Percetti, have you really seen a strange beast?"

When Yuan and Linxi had such a close relationship, Lizia felt very uncomfortable, especially now that she was completely prejudiced against Linxi, and she deliberately spoke loudly to Posetti.

However, it did not attract the attention of the two former friends.

"Miss Yin, are you free tonight? Can I ask you to take a walk together?" Posetti's voice was so loud that Linxi and Yuanyu finally turned their heads.

Seeing that Yuan Yu's young and tender face changed from calm to angry, he walked over and stood beside Licia. "Mr. Percetti, as a gentleman, don't you know how to respect ladies at all!"

Yuan Yu's favorability is constantly rising, and Licia finds it puzzling. In the past so many years, he only kept his favorability with her at about five points to one, but now it has only been less than two hours, and it is almost It's half full.

Posetti's crest is the bull crest, and the character of the owner of the crest is usually affected by the power of the crest, so he is a reckless person, which cannot be dealt with by Yuan Yu's gentle personality.

"Sir, you already have your own female companion, why do you still interfere with your friend's social freedom?" After Posetti finished speaking, Licia felt extremely embarrassed.

The other two are her good friends, she really shouldn't join forces with an outsider to make her friend down, so she cleared her throat. "Mr. Posetti, please don't misunderstand, Yuan, he, Linxi and me, we have always had a good relationship."

Yuan Yu blushed and stood where he was, his favorability was stagnant, but Linxi's dislike was slowly increasing.

She took off her mask. Although she was not as beautiful as Lycia, as the niece of the current empress, her beauty was enough to make any man fall in love.

"By the way, I'm sorry, Licia, I have to tell you, Yuanyu and I, we are about to get engaged." With a light body, she almost floated in front of Licia, and inserted her right hand into Yuanyu's elbow In the middle, he smiled at Posetti again. "Mr. Posetti, you are worthy of having both the grandeur of an aristocrat and the generosity of a Westerner. Licia, you may consider agreeing to his invitation."

Licia was almost so angry that she turned her back, why didn't she find Linxi so eloquent before.

"Are you going to get engaged soon?!" She said many things in her mind, and finally asked.

She thought, she thought that she would be Yuan and his wife in the future. She had already thought about it. Yuan and his mother were very gentle, and the two fathers also had a good relationship. It seemed that she was thinking too much. Compared with the old Campbell family For nobles, Lin's family, which is related to the royal family, is the in-laws that noble parents yearn for.

"Yes." Yuan Yu felt a sense of guilt for some reason, but he was not like this before the dance started.

It was as if he was meeting Licia for the first time, and he felt extremely novel about every moment of her. In a short period of time, Licia caused his emotions to fluctuate several times.

"Oh, that, that, congratulations." Licia didn't know how to show a magnanimous look. She felt her scalp was tight and wanted to loosen the hair tie, but she also felt that the movement was too big at this time, which would make everyone think She didn't know what to do, so she raised her hand only ten centimeters from the skirt and put it down again.

Linxi was watching Lycia, trying to see frustration on her face so she would feel triumphant.

She caught it, and leaned lightly against Lycia's arm with the back of her hand. "We are still friends. Even after Yuan Yu and I get married, the three of us will still be best friends."

"Of course." Licia smiled. After covering the upper half of her face, her lips were highlighted. The perfect color and shape attracted the attention of everyone present.

The eerie atmosphere here was shattered by the high-pitched announcements. The people who had gathered to speak looked up out the window, and a bolide lit up the sky.

"Someone stole the heraldry stone!" Posetti, who had been silent by the side, was familiar with this situation. His expression changed drastically, and the horn pattern between his eyebrows appeared. "Miss Licia, please don't leave my side."

Linxi withdrew her hand from Yuanhe's arms, and turned to grab Licia's hand. "Licia, don't be afraid."

Licia looked down at Lin Xi's white fingers, and then looked up at Yuan Yu.

"Don't be afraid," he said, and he said to Lizia with his lips. The source of heraldic power is the tranquilizer flower, and he looked at Lizia like a spring in his eyes, as if he had never been with Lizia. Anyone ever engaged.

Lin Xi's attention was not on this, she was looking at Posetti.

"Using a heraldry stone that doesn't belong to me will turn people into a god-forsaken man like a beast." Posetti, who had inspired the bull's coat of arms, emitted male hormones all over his body, and Linxi even leaned over and used Big eyes stared at Posetti.

"Really? Mr. Posetti." Lin Xi's sweet voice made Posetti frowned.

Posetti didn't even answer her, but looked at Licia.

"Miss Licia, the place where the bolide appeared is not far from here." He walked to the wall, where two crossed silver swords were hung, which were unedged. A cold light immediately appeared on the blade.

"I think the Academy of Heraldry should be the safest place in the Thorn Empire." Licia didn't feel nervous. "Mr. Posett, you can go where you need, we are very safe here." Nobles with the bull emblem always have the awareness to be at the forefront of the war.

Posetti shook his head. He didn't plan to leave the noble group. In fact, when the Duke of Troy invited him to the ball this morning, he told him that there might be an accident at night.

The Duke of Troy's heraldic powers endowed him with the power of divination.

So he was invited to protect these nobles.

Most of the academy's guards followed His Royal Highness to the palace, and the rest could not comfort the princes and ladies in the academy.
