Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 93

"Dimitri, I don't owe you anything, but you are a good monarch, so I'm here to remind you." Licia stood up a little.

"Of course, thank you." Dimitri's eyes dimmed from the sparkle at the beginning.

The engagement ball started, Licia didn't even have a glass of wine, and left after hearing a few more words from the two engaged protagonists.

She understands why men always choose career between career and beauty, because love is too insignificant and too short compared to the sense of accomplishment that career success can bring.

The band behind them continued to play, and there were many undercurrents surging between the drinks, but none of these had anything to do with Licia.

The Selene in her hand was hot, and a gunshot made Lizia's Tianling Gai feel a chill. "Raphael?!"

She ran to the banquet hall again.

The power of the magic circle and the coat of arms collided in the air, and the night turned out to be like day.

A woman in a white veil fell into Dimitri's arms, her chest was dyed red like a blooming rose.

Raphael had already fled, leaving only the meaningless search circle stirring in the air.

"Heidi!" Dimitri called out to Heidi, who was about to become his fiancée, and the poor girl helped Dimitri block the shot.

Licia gasped, watching this scene in disbelief.

"It's Raphael, it really is him." Licia walked over. She didn't know how to deal with the gunshot wound, because the physique of the people here is different.

Heidi Fendis was shot in the heart. She has closed her eyes and is dying.

"Emergency circle!" Everyone frantically tried to save the girl.

"She's dead." Troy said the result of the divination inappropriately, and looked at Licia. "I think only you can change all this. After all, only you can change the result of divination."

Licia was not angry with Troy's words, she respected all life, not to mention Heidi was a kind girl.

"I'll try." Licia tentatively released Heidi with her godhead, gave her a six-pointed star, and then increased the connection. "energy."

She whispered it in the ancient language.

A steady stream of silver light filled Heidi's dying body, the wound was fully healed, and a bullet was squeezed out by her growing muscles.

Everyone was watching Lizia. These people were the core people in the upper class, including those who supported the church and those who finally crowned the prince.

They all know that the people from the other side are coming, and they also know that now is the most critical moment for power struggle.

But no one is not afraid of death.

Raphael entered the most core social occasions as if he was in no one's land, and almost succeeded an aristocratic woman, which obviously made the nobles present a little scared.

They, who have been at the top of society and ability for a long time, finally feel a little fear.

But Lycia appeared, and she was able to save, or through a miraculous way, the person whom the fortune-teller said was certain to die.

"Okay." Licia said lightly, and she also felt very happy at the same time. If you are very powerful and can bestow something precious like life to others, it will be more fulfilling than receiving the gift.

Licia felt that the favorability of several nobles around her had exceeded 50.00%, as if they could develop into her own disciples.

Originally intending to leave a mysterious and cold back, she decided to give some speeches in an effort to develop a few believers by herself.

"Lizia, Tata is too scared." Lizia's arms were hugged. Tata's favorability had always been at the peak of same-sex favorability, and now it seemed to be on the verge of forming a six-pointed star.

"Don't be afraid, Tata, your dragon crest will protect you." Licia said, talking about the dragon crest, she felt a little ridiculous.

Because in the royal family, the dragon coat of arms is inherited, but the power of the dragon coat of arms inherited by women is much weaker than that of boys.

"What about you?" Tata looked at Licia with watery eyes. "Will you protect Tata?"

Although Licia didn't like this, she still said it in a very kind tone. "Yes, of course I will protect Tata."

The second star from the royal family flew into Lycia's hands.

Tata becomes Lycia's unwitting disciple.

Dimitri handed Heidi, who had begun to wake up in his arms, to Troy. "Help me take good care of Miss Heidi."

Troy, on the other hand, showed his teeth and laughed at him. "Don't you think Licia is completely different from before?"

Dimitri nodded irritably. "Of course I know."

Several nobles had already approached Licia and handed over their invitations.

"The Campbell family is still glorious and cannot be concealed." Duke Elizabeth pushed the others away, her blond hair had gradually faded to a very light blond.

She is Dimitri's aunt, the sister of the corpse on the throne, that is, she disposed of the illegitimate child and left behind the current disaster.

"Thank you for your praise, it is the glorious blessing of the Sun Goddess." Licia also said polite words.

Dimitri also came over, his eyes were full of Licia, but it was useless, Licia didn't even look at him.

"You reminded me that Raphael has a problem, but today's party does not have her, how did she get in." Dimitri said, as if he was really only interested in this problem.

Licia shook her head. "Ask about the security work at Miss Fendis's home."

Raphael, no one doesn't know her, after all, she has a great reputation in the court of romance.

"Did she use that black stick, back in Chinonbo?" Dimitri asked Licia.

Licia nodded, of course she was very sure that it was a pistol.

"So the people on the other side are no different from us?" Dimitri shouted after finishing speaking. "Has the Duke of d'Urberville not come? He should explain why he harbors such a dangerous person."

The nobles around began to whisper, and then a young man who seemed to be in his early 20s was pushed out.

He looked at Dimitri timidly, and then there were tears in his eyes. "I don't know what's going on, Your Highness, I usually don't have much contact with Miss Rafael."

Licia looked at him coldly, feeling something was wrong.

This person seems to be Raphael, and Licia doesn't know how she thinks so.

She grasped the thin and trembling shoulders of little d'Urberville, in doubt.

The crowd started to get noisy again. "Raphael is back?!"

As soon as Licia was interrupted, she let go of her hand, and then she was broken free by the little d'Urberville.

She only had time to catch a glimpse of the familiar smile on the young d'Urberville's face, and a gesture from him to fire.

"I, I'm not, I'm not Raphael, I am!" The man who looked like Raphael was completely imprisoned by the magic circle.

"He's not Raphael." Licia said, the real Raphael had already run away.

Although Licia didn't know why Raphael escaped in such a roundabout way, was it just to set the blame on Little d'Urberville?

But soon Licia knew why.

The engagement banquet that day ended in a hurry. Although Lizia told everyone very clearly that this was no longer Raphael, no one believed it.

Even if they believed what she said, no one dared to plead for someone who looked like Raphael rashly.

In the wee hours of the morning, 'Raphael' was murdered in his cell.

The d'Urbervilles were said to have done it.

What made Licia feel absurd was that no one continued to pursue the responsibility of the d'Urberville family except after the little d'Urberville was called out by Dimitri once that day.

"Absolutely, little d'Urberville, that's him, he's Raphael, the dead Raphael is not the real Raphael," Licia said to Dimitri.

And Dimitri showed a very embarrassed look on his face. "The d'Urberville family is now the most powerful supporter of the church. They control the guards in Lantcos City. If there are unstable factors at that time, it will be more troublesome than one or two deaths."

Licia put down the exquisite teacup in disappointment, and then looked at the red-gold carpet on the ground.

"So, you let a very dangerous spy from the other side become a hidden danger?" Licia specially used the name of the Campbell family today to enter the palace to meet Dimitri.

"Okay, you can be a safe monarch." She stood up and looked down at Dimitri who was still sitting.

"But I have always arranged people to keep an eye on the d'Urberville family. If something goes wrong with him, the entire d'Urberville family can be brought down in one fell swoop, and the power of the church will be greatly weakened." Dimitri looked up Look at Lycia.

But Licia had already turned her head away, and the female officers next to her were very surprised at her impoliteness.

"With all due respect, Your Highness, will tricks still work at this time?" Licia took a step forward, but Dimitri didn't stop her.

Dimitri looked at the palm of his hand. When he was talking to Licia just now, he was very nervous. This kind of tension did not come from the love for Licia in his heart, but more like a sense of awe.

Lycia wanted to visit the d'Urbervilles, but was turned away.

She was about to leave when the Duke of d'Urberville came out.

"You have been visiting Raphael before." Master d'Urberville's expression was very serious, but he still had a [-]% favorability degree for Licia, not a dislike degree.

Licia nodded. "Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."

The Duke of d'Urbervilles struck the flagstones with his cane. "I heard from His Highness that you think there is something wrong with Raphael."

Licia continued to nod.

"Then why didn't you tell me, because I have different political views from your father?" The Duke of d'Urberville stroked his mustache. He looked more decent and kind than Michelle Campbell. "Or because you think I've taken your father's place."

If Licia couldn't see d'Urberville's favorability, but only heard what he said, then she would definitely be a little at a loss.

"Maybe there's something to it," said Lycia. "But I have to apologize, and I should have reminded you, but my friendship with Miss Raphael was not bad at that time, and I was just a little suspicious of her."

"Well, Miss Campbell." Lycia was rarely called that. "I must remind you that the d'Urberville family is loyal to the Sun Goddess."

"So the dark power on the other side you mentioned is the enemy of our family. If you notice something, you must remember to remind our family next time." The Duke of d'Urberville cleared his throat.

"My lord, how is Master D'Urberville?" Licia did not directly say that he might be occupied by Raphael.

"He's fine, as usual." The Duke of d'Urberville already had a hint of impatience on his face. "Did Miss Campbell come by carriage?"

This is already a standard farewell speech.

Licia knew that she would not be able to see Raphael, who had become the young master of the d'Urberville family, today.

"Yes, sir, I just think that at the last banquet, Master d'Urberville seemed to be in poor health." Lycia looked up towards the direction of the main castle, a man in a silk shirt with a wheel collar The young man was standing at the window watching her.

Dealing with people is far more difficult than fighting.

Lycia got into the carriage.

"It's impossible for him not to continue to be a demon. It's very wrong to let someone from the other side be in such a crucial family." Licia said to Geese, it's summer vacation now, and she will come to Black Pearl City in a few days , most recently Keith was on duty.

There was always someone who could pass by here and bow down to Licia.

"All right, all right, don't kneel, we silver moon gods don't like this." Keith said.

Lycia was interrupted, and she immediately took on a holy look shining on the earth. "Yes, there is no need for that."

The visitor immediately got up from the ground, singing loudly to Licia.

"Was he singing just now?"

Keith scratched his foot and nodded. "Yeah, he's a troubadour. When he gets out, he'll definitely start singing about you. You're lucky. It's not easy to find this kind of real troubadour now."

"I won't discuss this anymore. I just want people to keep an eye on Raphael and not let her do whatever she wants." Licia smelled a familiar sour smell and moved away from Geese. She didn't know why someone stood there. You can also pick your feet while wearing it.

"What positive action do you expect from the court and the Church?" said Keith. "My Silver Moon God, don't place your feelings on nothingness. If Raphael can disrupt the palace, it will be good for us."

Licia shook her head. "Gith, you have to figure this out. If we, like the church and the court, just want to take advantage of the chaos to gain benefits, that's fine. But we're different."

Keith muttered something different.

"Whether we are in power or in the hands of people, if we don't have a little advantage, then our advantage must come from spirituality."

Lycia saw Keith pointing at her finger and shook her head.

"No, it's not me, Geese, you don't understand, we have to convince everyone that the people from the other side are coming soon, we have developed enough believers to resist the aggression from the other side, and one punch is hard to hit." Lily Thea said that the thoughts in her mind have been sorted out, and she is no longer so easily swayed by other people's ideas. "And if we don't have the correct and positive orientation and just want to take advantage of the chaos, it is impossible to have a long-term and stable development."
