Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 74

"Ash, I haven't seen you for a long time." Buchton finally stopped holding the sword, and he put the sword on the chair next to him.

Ashe's body swayed with the bumps of the carriage. "Well. Of course."

"After I graduate, I will apply for a job in the security department, and I can get a good salary." Buchton tried to pull out a smile.

"Of course, being a sheriff does pay a lot." Ashe was looking at the dilapidated decorations in the carriage. "Three gold coins a week?"

Buchton nodded. "Yes, three gold coins. After one year of work, there will be five gold coins a week."

After a long silence.

"Ai Xi!" Buchton's two arms tightly hugged Ai Xi who was opposite.

"Nothing will separate us!"

The carriage walked slowly on the road.

A pair of lovers complain to each other.

*

Lycia's knighting ceremony took place at the Royal Palace on Wednesday, the first week in April.

"How should I get the ribbon?" Licia was a little nervous. She was taken to the palace by her father and mother during the 15-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.

But now she needs to accept the title by herself.

Fudomi shook her head, smiled and shook Licia's hand. "Don't be nervous, it's fine to take it anyway. I heard that someone farted on His Majesty when he took the ribbon."

Lizia couldn't help laughing out that such an elegant person like Fudomi said the word fart in front of people. "Well, did His Majesty cover his nose?"

Fudomi let go of Licia's hand, put her right index finger on her chin, and made a gesture of thinking. "Well, no, His Majesty even took two deep breaths."

"Okay, let's go." Fudomi patted Licia's shoulder.

Licia took a deep breath, followed behind the etiquette officer, and walked into the first gate of the palace with even steps.

The weather today is not very good, the sky is gray, there is no wind, the air is humid, and the flag of the Thorn Empire hangs down on the flagpole.

"This way, Miss Licia." The etiquette officer led Licia into the gate of the main hall.

His Majesty the Emperor, Di Chaman, was sitting crookedly on the throne, and the gray bird was perched on the armrest of the Throne of Thorns.

The light in the main hall was very dark, and Licia could only vaguely see Di Chaman's figure.

"Very good." Licia heard an emotionless voice.

Dimitri stood under the throne, and Tata stood beside him.

"You saved the crown prince of the empire, and you deserve the title of viscount." Di Chaman raised his hand like a puppet, and then waved towards Licia.

From the side of the Throne of Thorns came out a person wearing church attire, holding a dark blue ribbon in his hand.

Licia glanced at Dimitri, who was lowering his eyes, and didn't show any other emotions about the people from the church infiltrating the palace.

Ti Chaman stood up from the throne unsteadily, and walked towards Licia below step by step. He picked up the ribbon and handed it to Licia, moving slowly.

Licia smelled a bad smell, and her guess became more and more concrete. The emperor Di Chaman was dead.

The blue ribbon reached out to Licia, she took it steadily, and then looked up at the favorability level above the emperor's head.

No, there is no favorability.

It turned out that the church did not replace Emperor Chaman with anyone. They did not know how to turn the emperor's corpse into a puppet.

"I wish you good health, Your Majesty." Licia put on the ribbon, and then performed a standard aristocratic etiquette.

"En." Di Chaman turned around and swayed from side to side, walking back to the throne like a walking dead and sitting down.

"Okay, Your Majesty is tired." The man in the church robe walked to the Throne of Thorns again, and stood in the shadows.

Licia didn't feel the sense of sanctity of conferring the title at all, and she walked out of the main hall with a helpless expression after Ti Chaman left the palace.

"Your Majesty! The Tower of Thorns is on fire!" The Tower of Thorns is the place where the Queen is under house arrest.

A very explosive piece of news made up for the ordinary feeling at this moment.

Licia glanced back at Dimitri.

I found that his reactions and movements were very smooth, without the slightest sign of panic or surprise.

"Your Majesty has gone back to rest." Licia heard Dimitri say to the panicked warden.

"Have you sent someone to look for it?" Dimitri only pretended to be flustered at this moment. "Go and inform His Majesty." He walked out of the main hall and said to the guards at the door.

Licia stood still at the door, Dimitri came over and whispered in her ear. "Follow." Then he quickly walked towards the direction of leaving the palace.

"It's you?" Licia and God Mitori looked at each other knowingly.

*

Futespa opened his eyes, stepped on the white sphere suspended in the curved dome room, and walked down step by step.

"It's starting to get a little out of control." She picked up the sapphire staff placed in the center of the room, and the cloak of white gold thread floated over and landed on her shoulders.

*

Linda's Tower of Thorns, where the queen was imprisoned, is at the rear of the palace complex.

Dimitri pulled Licia into the royal open carriage.

"Don't be surprised if you see someone wearing the same clothes as you later." Dimitri put his arm around Licia's shoulders and whispered in her ear.

The driver shook his head, his back looked familiar.

"Buchton?"

The driver turned his head and smiled with his mouth crooked. It wasn't Buchton's face, but the 20.00% favorability on his head couldn't fool Licia.

It seemed that Dimitri had planned this matter long ago, so Licia didn't worry anymore.

"The top of the tower is on fire." Licia pointed to the Thorn Tower not far away.

Guards kept running from behind their carriages in the direction of the Thorn Tower.

Licia could smell the burning smell in the air. The sky was already gloomy, and when the carriage arrived in front of the tower, there were ashes floating in the air.

"Where is Her Majesty the Queen?" Dimitri walked to the front of the tower in a panic, and the person with the water emblem took his place, pouring water continuously towards the burning place.

"No, Your Highness!" Buchton, the disguised groom, stretched out his hand, and then pushed Licia.

The latter reacted and chased Dimitri into the thick smoke.

Licia's eyeballs were so smoked that they were about to burst, one hand pulled her wrist forcefully, leading her to run towards the tower.

"Close your eyes." Dimitri's voice.

Licia's mood at the moment was very complicated, and her speechlessness accounted for a large part of it. Obviously she had no choice but to be involved in this matter, but Dimitri pulled her away with a gentlemanly and affectionate look.

But on the one hand, I have to say that Dimitri's behavior really moved Licia a bit.

Licia took out her silver weapon Selene with her other free hand.

Then with a wave, the choking smoke dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Your Highness, are we going to rescue Her Highness the Queen now?"

Dimitri nodded as he watched the gradually clear scene around him.

The two had already reached the position of going up the stairs.

The first floor is already full of smoke, let alone the upper floors.

"Go upstairs." Licia opened the way ahead, and she opened a path without smoke.

"Your new weapon is very useful." Dimitri seemed a little embarrassed, and he walked slowly behind Licia.

"Why do they just spray water outside the tower?" Lycia was splashed by the water sprayed in from the stone window.

"Because they can't get in." Dimitri handed Licia a handkerchief.

Licia didn't answer. "It's okay, the temperature here is so high, it will be done soon, on which floor is Her Highness the Queen locked?"

Dimitri didn't insist and took back the handkerchief. "On the top floor."

"The top floor, that is, and there." Licia gasped a little.

"There are still five floors." Dimitri walked in front of Licia again.

Licia thought he was going to behave like a gentleman again, and wanted to lead her along.

In the end, he was just one step ahead of her.

So the two reached the top of the tower like a competition who walked faster.

"Is there no one else in the tower?" Licia walked all the way, even if she didn't even see a flustered waitress, she reached the top floor, and there was no one outside the floor where the queen was under house arrest.

"They were all burned to death." Dimitri said, and then pushed open the door of the room, ignoring Licia's slightly frightened expression behind her.

"Mother."

Licia saw a person wearing the same clothes as herself, with a ribbon on her back.

"Your Highness the Queen." Licia cupped her hands and bowed for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable. She was completely calculated into the whole thing today, and she didn't even tell her in advance.

"Licia, thank you, my good child." Queen Linda Till was very young and very beautiful. Although Lin Xi had a slight resemblance to her, she was not as good as the queen at all.

"How to leave? There are two of us, two identical people leaving at the same time, it will also arouse others' suspicion." Licia suddenly felt a little scared, if Dimitri let her stay in the burning Thorn Tower In the middle, take the queen and leave.

"Mother, drink this bottle of medicine, and then, Licia, we two wait for Buchton to take her away in the chaos, and before we leave, we may need to wrong you and me to stay in the tower for a while longer." Dimito In Leigh's heart, he felt a little joy at being able to coexist with Licia in danger.

When he made the plan, he never considered bringing other people to accompany him to complete this matter.

The queen drank the potion in one gulp, then looked at Licia with a gentle smile. "It's a pleasure to have the most beautiful face in the Empire of Thorns for a short time."

Licia kept fanning the smoke away, while staring at the changes in the Queen's face in a daze.

"Where did you get the medicine?" She once asked Teacher Ke Lier if there was any potion that could change her appearance. Teacher Ke Lier had rumored it, but the recipe had been lost for a long time.

"You want to learn?" Dimitri watched his mother dressed as Licia nod towards them and then left.

"Well, of course." Licia was not worried about whether Her Royal Highness could escape smoothly. Dimitri's matter must have been planned a long time ago, and there was always a chance.

Dimitri closed the door to keep the smoke out.

Although the room was still hot, Licia no longer had to keep fanning her weapon to get rid of the smoke.

"I don't understand why you must take the risk to save Her Highness the Queen." Licia found a place that was slightly less hot, farther away from the window.

"His Royal Highness is much safer staying in the tower than outside." Licia asked.

Dimitri walked up to her and gently pressed a clean handkerchief onto Licia's wet hair. "Do you know the coat of arms of Her Majesty the Queen?"

Licia was stunned for a moment, Linxi's coat of arms is a snake scale, so is Her Royal Highness the Queen?

I seem to have heard that the coat of arms of the Teal family is a rare coat of arms with family inheritance.

"Dragon Horned Snake." Dimitri took off the handkerchief and stuffed it into Licia's hand. "And your front skirt is also wet a lot."

Licia carelessly wiped her chest with a handkerchief.

"Dragon horn? Snake." Licia had never heard of such a coat of arms.

"Except for me, my grandfather, and my dead father, no one knows that Her Majesty's coat of arms is not a snake head, but a snake head with dragon horns." Dimitri leaned closer and closer to Licia.

I don't know if it's because of the temperature increase or something else.

Dimitri's ears were all red.

"Does it also have the ability of the dragon's coat of arms?" Licia asked, she noticed that Dimitri was almost touching her forehead and shoulders, she didn't move, and even enjoyed the ambiguous atmosphere in tense moments.

"Yes, you can use Dragon Burn." Dimitri put his arms around the back of Licia's head, and pressed her against the wall.

Licia put her arms and Selene against the wall.

'It's not that I like him, it's just that he's really attractive and I should enjoy this moment. ' Licia explained to herself.

Then still Dimitri's kiss fell.

A kiss like a dragonfly on water landed on Licia's forehead, cheeks, and the tip of her nose.

"I admit, I failed." Dimitri felt his heart beating fast and expanding, it wanted to jump out of his chest, and wanted to merge with the beautiful girl in front of him.

Her blue eyes were like the most beautiful sapphires, shining with moisture.

Just as Dimitri lowered his head again and approached Licia, who was already a little restless, thunder came from the sky.

Futespa was floating in mid-air, holding a nearly two-meter-long staff in his hand, pointing at the top of the tower.

Plenty of rain fell from the sky.

The flames that were only burning on the surface of the Thorn Tower were quickly extinguished.

Licia pushed Dimitri away. "This rain is not part of your plan, is it?"

Dimitri shook his head.

"Should be someone from the church," he said.

Licia looked out the window. "To be precise, our Master Dean is here."

"Get out, we can't pretend we can't find our way in the smoke." Licia touched her forehead lightly, and ran downstairs first.

"It's raining." Buchton and Queen Linda just ran out of the Imperial Guard area when they encountered the heavy rain.

Both of them were drenched.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Buchton found that the rain had washed away Linda Thiel's original disguise, revealing her true face.

"You too." The queen raised her eyes and saw a small church army appearing in the corridor ahead.
