Placing a bouquet of roses in her breast pocket, Ariel smiled evilly, looking forward to the next meeting even more.

After leaving the clothing store, Ariel visited several stores along the way to choose a meeting gift for Liya.

During special periods, the flow of people in the Holy City increases a lot, and many stores are packed with people.

Ariel went through a lot of trouble to choose a white and silver tiara that looked like a princess crown. She thought it would look great on Liya's head.

After looking up at the sky and seeing that it was getting late, Ariel stuffed the large and small bags into the storage device and walked towards the center of the Holy City with satisfaction.

As we go deeper, the flow of people around us gradually decreases.

"correct."

While walking, Ariel suddenly clapped her hands:

"I haven't made an appointment with Liya on where to meet. The Holy City is so big. Isn't it a waste of time to look around?"

But then she smiled nonchalantly:

"Fortunately, we can communicate at any time now. There should be no urgent matter for Liya to use my sound transmission stone this time."

Ariel took out the sound transmission stone and happily tried to connect to that familiar frequency.

Her fingers landed on the crystal stone, and magic symbols were gradually recorded into the sound transmission stone as her slender fingers rippled.

Everything went very smoothly because she had dialed that frequency many times.

With only one symbol left, she could connect with Liya again and communicate without any hindrance.

However, just before the call was made...

Her movements stopped abruptly.

So abrupt.

She did not raise her head, but her dark brown pupils moved slightly upward.

The setting sun seems to have become colder, and the few figures around are shaking messily.

The smile on Ariel's lips slowly faded, and then a hint of silent coldness appeared in her cold eyes.

She was being followed.

Just now, a line of sight looked at her from the shadows.

And she had felt this same sight thirteen times since she came out of the clothing store.

This is by no means an illusion.

"Teacher, can you locate the stalker?"

Ariel asked internally.

The situation suddenly happened, and the lazy teacher Ariel also restrained her thoughts, and powerful soul perception spread.

"Three on the left, five on the right, and one on the corner in the shadow of the street ahead."

There is more than one person?

Ariel's pupils narrowed.

"Where's the strength?"

"I don't know. I don't dare to use too much soul power in the Holy City, but I can feel that it is not weak."

The teacher's voice already had a hint of solemnity.

This is a holy city.

Under the sun, humanity's most noble city.

Although there are still shadows that ordinary people cannot see, those shadows should never appear in the sun like this.

Whoever comes is not simple.

"What's going on? Do you have any idea?"

"……No."

Ariel thought for a moment and shook her head.

Although she does have many enemies, and even her half-brother wants to kill her at any time, most of her enemies are in Belland.

The Holy City is not her scope to cause trouble!

"Were you being targeted for some reason?"

"Those things I got in the ruins?"

"Have you shown yourself since you entered the city?"

"No."

The confusion in Ariel's eyes deepened:

"Maybe it was just an accident?"

"Whether it was an accident or not, I felt hostility."

Ariel's eyes were sharp, but her actions were not unusual at all.

The change in her expression just now was restrained by her without any trace.

She put the unconnected sound transmission stone to her ear and spoke happily:

"Hey, I'm here. Where are you now? Shenyang Street?"

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll come to you right away..."

Ariel kept walking, twisting and turning on the streets, passing by some believers who had not returned home late.

For some reason, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and Ariel's goal this time, the Emile Cathedral in the center of the Holy City, suddenly became ethereal under the setting sun, with its tall orange dome.

It was like the whole world was leaving her.

Ariel's face was solemn, and she suddenly turned around and walked into a quiet alley.

Then he accelerated violently, and his figure turned into an afterimage, flying through the intricate alleys.

Under the guidance of her teacher, she is gradually getting rid of those stalkers.

but……

"careful!"

Ariel's forward-sweeping figure suddenly stagnated, her thin body bent like a bow in mid-air, her feet stepped on the wall on one side, and she used a strange movement to release the force of her forward thrust.

Her expression was ugly, because in the shadow not far away, there was a silver arc of light, waiting silently.

It was a long sword, extremely sharp. If she hadn't stopped in time, she might have hit it by now and her body would be dismembered.

Do these guys from behind really dare to take action?

Ariel frowned slightly, feeling that these ungrateful mice were simply crazy. This was the Holy City, and daring to take action here was simply...

"Heh... the heir to the Bugard family is really living a leisurely life..."

Following the sarcastic words, the figure hiding in the dark walked out directly, mixed with the sound of metal friction, wearing silver armor, reflecting the cold light in the distant sunset.

"you……"

Ariel's eyes widened in shock, because the person in front of her...

It was the knight who stopped her at the city gate!

Why was he here? Was he discovered sneaking into the city?

The mouse was actually me?

"Ah... it's you, haha... what a coincidence."

For a moment, Ariel was relieved, scratched her head awkwardly, and said:

"You actually know that I am from Bugard, you should know that it was just a misunderstanding before. I was just anxious to get into the city, and I didn't have any bad intentions."

"No... bad intentions?"

The knight sneered:

"Although I haven't found out whether your identity is really the so-called earl's heir, but you took great pains to sneak into the holy city, collude with villains, scout the major roads, and change your clothes and face, disguise yourself as a man... After doing all these things, you still dare to claim that you have no bad intentions?"

"Huh?"

Ariel was stunned when she heard this.

But before she could react, she saw the knight not far away suddenly step forward, and the silver-white long sword in his hand had already slashed down mercilessly.

"Stop talking nonsense, villain, why don't you surrender quickly!"

"Huh?"

Ariel dodged in a hurry, feeling confused.

Villain?

Me?

What the hell?

I just went shopping to change clothes and buy a gift, why does it sound like a heinous crime?

Is sneaking into the Holy City such a serious crime?

"Wait, did you make a mistake?"

"Your accomplice has been killed, do you still want to resist?"

"Accomplice? What accomplice?"

During this period, I was either in the ruins or on the way to the Holy City. There was no human figure around me. Where did the accomplice come from?

27, Night and Color

"Accomplice? What accomplice?"

During this period, I was either in the ruins or on the way to the Holy City. There was no human figure around me. Where did the accomplice come from?

Ariel was stunned for a while, and then quickly reacted.

There was indeed a misunderstanding!

"You're wrong. I just want to go into the city to see Leah. I didn't do anything else, and I'm not interested in doing anything else!"

"Just... to see Leah..."

Xier stopped and chewed on this sentence.

Ariel showed a happy expression, thinking that he finally understood that he had wronged a good citizen.

But before Ariel could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that the knight in front of her looked even colder, and his eyes looking at her were completely stained with a layer of ice.

Changed his appearance and entered the city with those guys who were hiding forbidden objects.

After entering the city, he acted alone and changed his clothes again. While scouting some important streets that Her Highness the Saint would patrol tomorrow, he accidentally approached the Emile Cathedral.

All these actions were extremely obvious and undoubtedly... an attempt to assassinate!

And now, this villain not only called Her Highness the Saint by her name, but also dared to say "just to see" despite the intention to assassinate her.

Hehe, it's just..., she said it so nonchalantly, as if this behavior, in her opinion, was really just to meet an old friend.

How... arrogant!

It is the dereliction of duty of us Templar Knights to let a vicious person like you succeed in reaching Her Highness the Saint.

Gambling on the honor of the knights, such a thing is absolutely not allowed!

"Die!"

Xier waved the long sword in his hand, no longer hesitating, with the majestic fighting spirit bursting out, with the might of a landslide, it fell down!

Ariel was forced to retreat in embarrassment, one step, two steps, three steps...
