She Is Not a Witch
Vol 3 Chapter 225: start to flee
"What's going on now?"
In a dark secret room, Lily uneasily asked the guards beside her, and she seemed to hear the sound from the outside getting weaker and weaker.
Then the two guards carefully looked out from the cracks on the side of the secret room, saw a few noble private soldiers patrolling and searching the courtyard, and then listened carefully for a long time before slowly retreating.
"Outside are the private troops of the nobles. I didn't see the imperial guards or soldiers directly under the legion." The voices of the two were a little low.
Hearing this, several people in the secret room gradually felt chills and despair.
The sound of the battle outside has gradually disappeared, which shows that one side is in the dominant position and is gradually controlling the scene, but unfortunately, it is not our side that wins.
The secret room fell into an oppressive silence. As a queen, Lily tried her best to calm herself down. She slowly stroked the child in her arms, and then shifted her gaze to the bracelet wrapped with golden branches on her wrist.
At this time, we can only hope that Severy can arrive in time.
Although she has a few supporters in the court, the loyalty of those people is probably very limited, and the only one who can really trust and rely on her is this general. .
Time passed slowly, and the guards in the secret room couldn't suppress their emotions, and began to move their hands and feet a little uneasy, walking in a small area.
Just before everyone's patience and rationality gradually dissipated, Lily finally felt a special warmth coming from the bracelet.
Severly has arrived.
A general in a black cloak quickly crossed the roof of the palace, landed on the outside of this remote palace, and then glanced around.
He sensed that Lily should be around here, but there didn't seem to be any traces here.
"It's General Severey." A guard watching between the cracks whispered, his voice full of surprise.
"Go and open the secret door and let Sir Severy come in." Lily said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then a stone door slowly opened, revealing the secret space in the interlayer of the wall.
After hearing the sound, Severly turned around and saw the few people who appeared, he knew it in his heart, and then he silently entered the secret room.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that Lily and the prince were safe and sound, Severy heaved a sigh of relief. As long as these two are around, everything is not over yet.
"What's the situation outside now?"
"I saw that the beam of light in the Blood Moon Hall was shattered. His Royal Highness the Regent may have encountered an accident. Now most of the Rose Palace has been controlled by the enemy, and the soldiers under my command are currently retreating and stationed in front of the palace, and they can last for a while."
"If I were alone, it would be difficult to take away both His Majesty and the prince at the same time. Now it is better to join the soldiers in the front palace first, and then rush out of Titania."
"As long as we can break through the encirclement of the enemy, in the name of the royal family, we can quickly summon the vassals from all over the place to rescue. Although there are many traitors among the nobles, there are still many people loyal to the royal family and His Majesty." Severy calmly analyzed.
Perhaps it was a branch of the royal family who initiated the rebellion this time, but it does not mean that all nobles will recognize it. Moreover, during the reign of brothers Edron and Amanke, they also promoted and cultivated a large number of their own forces. , it is not difficult to regain Titania.
"I understand this, but those people probably won't easily give us a chance now." Lily said worriedly.
As the emperor of the empire, Aimanke died in the assassination of the dark moon, and now Edron is gone. With only their mother and son, the hope of escaping from the dark moon's pursuit is too slim.
After the Red Queen's Lily uttered her hidden worries, the others in the room were also silent for a while. In the battle not long ago, they had vaguely seen the power of those assassins. It is definitely not an easy task to escape from the hands of these people.
"I think there is another way to try." At this time, the head maid who was standing aside said.
"I know that there is a secret underground passage in the palace, leading to the outside world, but if I want to get there now, the enemy's attention may be attracted in the middle, so..."
"So?" Lily was puzzled when she saw her stop.
"So, please let me play the role of Your Majesty and divert the pursuers for you." Wen Na summoned up her courage and said.
"As long as you wear suitable clothes and a veil, most of the soldiers have never seen your true face, so they won't recognize you for a while." Once she opened her mouth, her words quickly became fluent.
"This..." Although such a way has been heard in some knights or stories before, Lily never thought that it would happen to her one day.
Yes, an old ruse, but admittedly, it works when the clock counts.
"Your Majesty, just follow this lady's advice, now there is no time to hesitate—"
"If you still want to live with the little prince." Sifry decisively advised Lily to adopt this method.
Clenching and loosening her fingers uneasily, Lily struggled for a while, but seeing the restless child in her arms, tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes.
Yes, there is no choice.
"I see." She wiped away her tears and nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
Soon, everyone moved into action. First, the head maid and Lily exchanged coats, and then the little prince Hells also took off his luxurious coat and put on a shabby and ill-fitting plain coat.
After the preparations were completed, Severy also assigned a plan at this time. First, he would lead the queen played by Wen Na to break through to attract the attention of the outside world, and then a small group of people would lead Lily into the secret passage.
Afterwards, Sifry will buy a lot of time for Lily to take Prince Hells outside the palace, and then find a chance to meet up again.
"Then, let's begin."
After speaking, Sifry and a group of guards protected Wenna and left here quickly. At first they walked quietly, and after walking for a while, they began to shuttle quickly after being discovered.
A burst of shouts and horns sounded again in the Rose Palace, and then there were noisy and hurried footsteps rushing in one direction.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the three elite guards led Lily and the prince to Wenna's place. They had already changed into the clothes of noble private soldiers, and the little prince was also wrapped in a layer of dark brown. In his coat, he looked like a wounded soldier receiving medical treatment.
Although the process was very thrilling, fortunately these private soldiers came from different families and were not familiar with each other, so they were not exposed for a while, allowing them to pass through several palaces without any danger and came to the aqueduct in the palace the lower layer.
Opening the manhole cover, the three of them protected Lily and the prince one after the other, and began to shuttle through it.
The first half of the underground passage is a normal sewer, and the second half is a secret tunnel. After finding the secret secret door, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Then a guard lit a candle and opened the way ahead, and a group of people walked quickly among them.
The air is a bit cold, but fortunately, it doesn't smell bad. It is probably the result of the long-term closure here, and it is a bit dull.
After walking for more than ten minutes, several people estimated that they had already left the Rose Palace at this time, and a hidden faint light appeared in front of them. Pushing away the closed stone bricks and wooden boards, there was a sound of thumping, and several people walked out of here. Only then did I realize that the surrounding area seemed to be a cellar, which stored a lot of bacon and food.
"It should be in a nobleman's house." Looking at the high-quality ham hanging around, a guard analyzed.
Hearing this result, several people were both happy and worried, but fortunately Lily spoke in time to let them settle down for the time being.
"Let's go, go out and see which adult's mansion it is. The situation is not so bad yet."
After all, there were only a small number of those who launched the rebellion, and even the nobles might not be able to block the few guards around them. Although there were only three of them, they were all Sequence 6 Transcendents.
Several people walked out of the cellar quickly and smashed open the closed door. At this moment, there was a commotion, and several guards in the mansion came quickly under the call of the servants.
"Who are you?" They looked at the clothes of several people, their pupils narrowed and they were very nervous.
"Who is your master?" Lily took a deep breath at this moment, took off her helmet, and revealed her face.
Perhaps it was because of the majesty of the queen that she had cultivated on weekdays. Lily's words reminded the guards of the appearances of some important people, and their hearts tightened, so they quickly revealed the identity of the owner of this mansion.
"Our lord is the Viscount Vansden of the Aduni family."
The Aduni family is a family with a long history in the empire. Although it is not considered prominent, there is also a viscount and two barons in the family. They live in the imperial capital all the year round. The family style is very good, but they are relatively low-key. Several nobles come and go.
Lily quickly recalled the viscount, and a picture flashed in her mind. It was when Amanke was alive, and he invited several people to dinner in the palace, and this viscount was among them.
"Van Siden's black and white military chess is good. I used to play chess with him when I was a prince. Unfortunately, because of his personality, he is not very willing to come out to help me." statement.
Although the viscount didn't receive any promotion or benefits after Aimanke ascended the throne, at least in Aimanke's heart, he was a trustworthy friend.
Did he expect this day long ago? Lily couldn't help guessing in her heart, and had a premonition that this was the truth.
In the past few years with Aimanke, she has gradually become familiar with the character of this husband and the emperor. She is the kind of person who considers everything as far as possible. It is hard to say that she has not prepared in advance for possible overthrow.
After all, he himself relied on a coup to come to power, so he would naturally be wary of possible similar reprisals.
After Aimanke ascended the throne, he only invited Van Stern to dinner at the beginning, and then he had no contact and care, as if these old friends were forgotten. Now it seems that this is a kind of protection to avoid the crisis. It was all pulled up when it happened.
After negotiating a few words, the guards went to inform Lord Viscount, and soon Van Stern appeared at the entrance of the cellar.
He asked the other guards to retreat first, and then half-kneeled to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty, and you are safe and sound, which makes me feel happy and at ease."
"Is this tunnel built under the guidance of the emperor in the past?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I see, so is there any way for him to stay?"
"Please come with me, time is urgent now, I will talk as I walk." Then Van Sden led Lily and the others to leave here quickly.
Although she left the Rose Palace now, it was not safe. Titania had already been controlled and sealed off by the rebels. If she wanted to leave the city, she might have to take another secret road.
"Back then, His Majesty dug out five secret passages leading to the outside of the palace, and he also told five loyal attendants or servants around him, so that they could be used at critical moments."
Among the five people, as long as one of them is alive or loyal, he can use the secret way in times of crisis, and they don't know the identities of the other four and the existence of the four secret ways, which also prevents the possibility of all being exposed due to rebellion .
"However, although there are five secret passages from the palace to the city, there is only one secret passage from the city to the outside."
"Titania is a magnificent city built by humans and elves thousands of years ago. Sages and witches even participated in it, giving blessings and protection, but I want to break open a city in Titania's tightly guarded barrier. Passing without attracting attention is extremely difficult."
"Only His Majesty relied on his own blood and the sacred objects of the royal family to open up a narrow passage with difficulty. And once a new emperor ascends the throne and holds the sacred objects in this passage, he will be aware of it immediately, so we don't have much time left .”
Van Stern explained the reason why they were going to the secret passage now, and the urgency of time, and then he brought a few people to the courtyard of the mansion.
"Now that control has been implemented outside, we don't have time to wait for those people to open the road. At this time, we can only rush over."
"According to what His Majesty said, General Severe is currently attracting most people's attention, and there won't be too many supernatural beings patrolling the streets, so we must seize this fleeting moment."
When the viscount explained, dozens of knights in armor had already gathered in the courtyard. They put on their armor and rode war horses, waiting for orders at any time.
"Housekeeper, move the money out of the house."
"My lord, what is this?" The housekeeper didn't react for a moment.
"After a while, you will distribute the money to the servants in the mansion, and then let everyone disperse and leave. Try to hide for a while. When this crisis is over, leave Titania and go to other places to make a living."
"After I leave, someone will search here soon, and it will be too late to leave by then, hurry up!"
"Yes, my lord, but what about the madam and miss who are on vacation in their hometown." The housekeeper had a faint realization in his heart.
"I have already sent them a letter. As for whether they can receive it in advance and then escape, they can only follow the guidance of the gods."
"A lot of things can't be perfect, I think you understand, old man."
"Understood~www.readwn.com~understood." The butler replied with a sigh, and without further hesitation, asked the guards to move out the gold coins and belongings stored in the mansion.
"Now, let's go." Saying that, the closed courtyard gate suddenly opened, a group of knights opened the way ahead, and then escorted a black carriage, and drove quickly to a corner of the city.
And before they went out, a signal firework exploded in the sky from the sky, and soon there were some riots in several places in Titania City, to cover and buy time for this group of people.
It's time to run away, Lily.
The carriage was bumping violently. The still young queen comforted the child in her arms in a low voice. She held onto the wall of the carriage with one hand, raised her eyes, and looked at the noisy and fighting street outside the screen window, gradually settling the uneasiness in her heart.
You can no longer hide under the protection of others, tears are no longer useful, you are already a mother, you have to protect your child to live.
She repeated each sentence silently in her heart to make her heart tougher quickly.
