Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 75

Licia and Dimitri walked out of the Tower of Thorns, and the rainstorm had stopped.

"His Royal Highness, you are really too risky." Futespa had also descended from midair, and the light of the sapphire staff had also weakened.

"We didn't find Her Royal Highness the Queen." Licia shook her head.

Dimitri deliberately remained silent.

The church member who had been following Dichaman came to the Tower of Thorns on behalf of the emperor, with his sleeves covered and a smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, can you open the door of the Thorn Tower? Let's send someone in to look for Her Highness the Queen. His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Licia have stayed in the tower for so long, and nothing happened. Presumably, Her Highness the Queen should be fine too."

Dimitri walked to the door that had been blackened by smoke, and pressed the thorny empire totem protruding from the door with his right hand. The opening and closing of the door did not change, and it was still half-open.

"Okay."

A group of church soldiers filed in.

Licia and Dimitri also stood there and waited.

Before the church army searched the entire tower, it waited until another team of church troops escorted a person over.

"Her Royal Highness escaped with the help of Mr. Buchton."

Buchton's hair was all sticking to his face, and his clothes were also wet, making him look very down and out.

"Buchton?" Licia glanced at Dimitri in a panic.

But Dimitri didn't respond, he was obviously hesitant to care about gains and losses and the camaraderie of his comrades.

After all, it will not help him to recognize Buchton now, but if he does nothing, even biting back will hurt Buchton, and will also plant a huge moral hazard in his imperial career in the future.

"I didn't know it was Her Highness the Queen. She wore the same clothes as Miss Licia today, and her face also touched the same. I don't know how she turned into Her Highness the Queen again in the end." Buchton said.

"Me?" Licia couldn't help interjecting. "So you were tricked by her?"

Buchton's favorability rose a little. "yes."

Dimitri finally spoke. "Obviously, Buchton was deceived. As for whether it is Her Royal Highness, it depends on the church army who entered the tower to search and rescue."

"I hope that it is Her Royal Highness who escaped." Dimitri said such a sentence, but in this situation, there is nothing wrong with him saying this sentence, and it even won him a good reputation of kindness and filial piety.

"Your Highness, you are the heir to the throne, you must not have such dangerous thoughts." It was an old and authoritative councilor who spoke.

"Your Highness is the Son of Man, so it's natural to think so." The one who spoke for Dimitri was a very shrewd official, and from his position, he should be someone close to the church.

"The rain that fell just now is the water that preserves the truth. It will wash away all disguises. It should indeed be Her Royal Highness who escaped." Dean Fu Tespa picked up the staff and stepped on about five centimeters of air to leave. "Also, the clothes this Mr. Buchton wears are the clothes of a groom in the court."

All justifications are over.

"Yes, Mr. Buchton, how do you explain that."

Buchton couldn't speak, and neither could Dimitri.

Licia didn't know what stupidity she committed at that moment, how she became a Virgin without logical thinking ability.

"I asked Mr. Buchton to enter the palace to accompany me. I, I am a little nervous." After Licia finished speaking, she wanted to swell her mouth. This reason is not sufficient at all, but it interrupted the cover of other people. Hutton's thoughts.

Even Dimitri couldn't continue to defend himself.

"Licia, you can't say such irrelevant things in order to protect your future brother-in-law." Buchton confessed his crime. "Okay, that's right, I sneaked into the palace and pretended to be a groom. I did have other things to do, but it wasn't to help Her Royal Highness escape."

"What's the matter?" the leader of the church army asked eagerly. He was afraid that he would catch a wronged person, and thus let the reward that he was about to get fly away. The more serious the mistake, the better.

"Actually, this incident is my fault." Dimitri said before Buchton could talk nonsense. "I asked him to pretend to be a groom and accompany me into the palace."

Licia was ashamed and helpless. She hated being between power struggles and speech skills. She couldn't crush everything with her own ability like a simple battle.

"I just asked him to escort me. Recently, there is a poem circulating among bards, saying that someone has predicted that I will die in an accident, and the real successor is an illegitimate child." Dimitri looked at the people in the church Say. "I also heard that the church is looking for this illegitimate child."

"This..." The leader of the church army showed an embarrassed look.

Even the church member representing the emperor with his sleeves covered had already taken his hands out of his sleeves and stood there stiffly.

"We haven't found any illegitimate children, and we haven't heard of the poems your Highness said."

The scene was very embarrassing for a time. In theory, it would be no problem for the crown prince to find anyone to be his groom. There was no conclusive evidence to prove that Dimitri and Buchton's words were sophistry, so no one felt accusing them of lying in front of the royal family.

"Miss Licia, don't lie anymore. Although it is good for you to protect your friends and relatives, it is wrong to lie on any occasion." Dimitri clearly lied, but he seemed to criticize Lizzie Ya came to accuse the people of the church just now, as if she was making excuses.

"It seems that Her Highness the Queen did escape from the Thorn Tower during the fire. I have reason to believe that she is indeed aware of some kind of danger, a danger of wanting to overthrow the royal family." Dimitri's words almost It is already directed at the church.

The people standing around did not dare to speak at this time. It seemed that the matter of Her Royal Highness's escape was no longer important.

Those who stood on the side of the church had also disrupted their plan to fight wits and bravery with the crown prince's faction in secret.

Dimitri's original plan was also disrupted at the same time.

*

Although Buchton was not convicted of any crime, he did not take the initiative to help when the church army arrested the fleeing Queen, and even hindered the church army.

With the acquiescence of Dimitri, Buchton was temporarily put in prison and accepted a formal investigation.

"Licia!" Duke Mishu shouted at Licia angrily. "You are insulting your sister!"

"She didn't. I'll just marry Buchton." Ashe took off her shoes, and walked towards Duke Mishu before she could put them on.

Licia was sent home in disgrace, the blue knighthood ribbon was already covered with a layer of dust.

Duke Mixiu had already heard about her feat from the church soldiers who came back with Licia.

"Ash! What are you talking about!" The veins on Duke Mixiu's neck bulged.

"That's what I said, that's right, father, are you going to kill me too? Kill me too!" Licia didn't hear anything wrong with what Ashe said in anger, but Mishu .Campbell heard it.

A wolf's head had already appeared on his forehead, and he remembered the day he killed his wife.

It turned out that his daughter Ashe saw everything.

Duke Mixiu, who hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, was so dazed that he couldn't control himself to continue to the next step.

"Stop, father." Licia's hand held Mishu's hand that had been stretched towards Ashe's heart uncontrollably.

Heraldic powers control the user.

And people who are completely controlled by the power of the heraldry will become monsters, just like those who use the heraldic stone to become monsters, they are called the lost.

The five fingers of Michelle Campbell's right hand have turned into sharp weapons like steel knives.

The blue eyes had turned grayish brown.

The nose looks wrinkled, and the teeth seem to be slowly changing.

Licia never imagined that one day she would have a fight with her father.

She watched the favorability bar above Mi Xiu's head gradually fade until it disappeared, and she was sure that her father had completely turned into a monster.

The church army who came here with Licia just to taunt her in front of Duke Mixiu saw this scene, which has greatly exceeded his expected effect.

"Prepare the Demon-Breaking Arrow." He ordered the other two church soldiers to set up their bows.

"Father, think about the Campbell family. No one in the entire Campbell family has died as a lost person." Licia wanted to arouse Mi Xiu's sanity.

Ashe took a wooden stool, her chest kept rising and falling. Ever since she guessed that her mother might have been killed by her father, she used some very clumsy means to test it out.

It wasn't until today that Ai Xi was completely sure that this pious man who only worked for the family's interests was the real murderer of his wife.

And her sister, whom she has always hated and envied, is still defending this person.

The magic-breaking arrow is already on the string.

Lycia could see the arrow heading for her father.

"stop!"

Licia found that the arrow's movement and everyone else's movement seemed to stop.

"Guise!"

Gies, who was barefoot at the door, stumbled and vomited a large pool of blood while holding on to the door frame.

"I got the divination, so I brought the black pearl here." Geese fell softly on the ground. "Time has become very slow. You have to go first, puke!" Keith spat out another pool of blood.

Licia hurriedly flicked the Demon-Breaking Arrow that was flying slowly in mid-air.

"Okay!" Black Pearl's voice.

"It will be fine soon." Keith threw a medicine bottle to Licia. "Give it to him, the potion is the most effective."

Licia took it.

Keith wiped the floor of Lycia's house carelessly with his sleeve, and then ran out again with bare feet. "By the way, Licia, if you have time tomorrow, come to Lanlan Avenue."

Then the speed of time flow returned to normal.

The magic-breaking arrow missed Duke Mixiu.

And Duke Mixiu returned to his normal state.

His fingers were retracting like steel knives.

The eyes also gradually turned blue, and the nose no longer turned outward.

"Cough cough cough." He coughed violently for a while, then passed out.

Ashe watched coldly as her father fainted. "He can only faint now." She even whispered.

The members of the church army were a little disappointed, why the arrow lost its aim, and why Duke Mixiu suddenly recovered.

"The duke needs to be monitored for a long enough time to ensure that he is not a lost person." The church army said to Licia. As a leader of the church army who leads a team of eight, he only knows that the Campbell family is the church. the opposite of.

How to suppress the Campbell family is what he should do, but for Licia, in his eyes, she is just an insignificant female family member. Although she is the heir to the title and has just been given the title of viscount, although Licia has already been able to rely on her own strength Resist the immense power of the wolf's head emblem.

"No one is qualified to spy on nobles." Licia is not so easy to fool.

"Miss Viscountess, this is also for your safety." He was already arranging for the people staying in Campbell's castle.

"Stop." Licia suffered from the fact that she didn't even collect a hexagram recently, and the people in the church didn't have a good impression of her, and her beauty couldn't confuse any of them. Could it be because of her Doesn't the power come from the Sun Goddess?

"Stop." She drew a wind blade with the silver Selene, cutting off the church army who pushed the butler away and was about to go upstairs.

"I said stop, nobles have the right to use the power of heraldry to defend their dignity." Licia said.

"Okay, Miss Licia." The leader of the church army suddenly realized that Licia was at least a powerful heraldry ability user. If she killed them by defending their dignity, it seemed that she would be able to Talk about it.

Although the power of the church is now in full swing, the nobles in the Thorn Empire are always more correct and more dignified than the common people, and this has not changed.

"Marian, go and call the doctor." Licia squatted on the ground to check on the situation of Duke Mixiu. "Ash, come help me lift Father onto the couch."

"You can go back to the business, this level is enough, sir, you will definitely be rewarded by the church." Lycia unceremoniously drove them out of the mansion.

Duke Mishu woke up in the evening.

Lycia and Ashe were sitting across from each other without saying a word.

Licia was reading her potion book, too many accidents had happened to her recently, Licia simply didn't spend time outside of the accidents thinking about it, and only thought about how to improve herself in various aspects.

After all, no one is reliable. If he wants to survive the increasingly arrogant church and Futespa, he can only become stronger himself.

"Did I make some mistakes?" Mi Xiu looked at his withered hands.

Ai Xiten stood up from the chair, she could no longer face her father.

Without hesitation, Licia told him that he was almost executed by the magic-breaking arrow for becoming a lost person.

"Miss Lizia saved you. If she hadn't moved your body a little away, the arrow might pierce your shoulder. It's too dangerous." After this incident, Marianne has absolutely no doubts about Lizia. loyalty.

Although it was true that Licia saved the person, it was not in the way she said.

Duke Mixiu was speechless for a while.

Then covered Licia's hand holding the spine of the book with her dry hand.

"Thank you Licia, I have been suffering from a nervous breakdown recently because of your mother's affairs, and I almost became a lost person, and I brought shame to the family, thanks to you." Mi Xiu said. "It seems that I have to hand over the family business to you earlier."

Only then did Licia realize that she had been waiting for Mi Xiu to say this.
