Wei'er came out of nowhere, "Everything is ready!"

"..."

"Eh? Moon Campbell, why are you staring at me with a stinky face? Did I eat your steak? Did I drink your red wine?"

"...You came just in time."

Mu En gritted his teeth and said.

"Of course. Now that the situation is urgent, I won't waste any time. Do you think everyone likes fishing as much as you do?"

Wei'er raised her little head and pretended that I was the biggest scoundrel under Celcia.

"Now that you're ready."

Celecia turned slightly and flipped her hair again, as if nothing happened just now:

"Then let's get started."

"..."

Following Weier, the two came to a carriage hidden in the dense forest.

But as the carriage moved forward rapidly, Mu En discovered that they were not heading towards the palace.

"Where are we going? Aren't we going to the palace?"

"You don't think that just a few of us are going to forcefully break into the palace that is now under Albert's control, do you?"

This time Celcia didn't show a look of stupidity, because Weier almost put a mocking expression on Mu En's face.

"Idiot, idiot, uh..."

Mu En pushed Weier's cheek away: "Then what are we going to do..."

"arrive."

The carriage stopped.

Mu En stuck his head out and found that this was an extremely vast courtyard. No... maybe it shouldn't be called a courtyard, because the fences on the walls that caught his eye were like inverted sharp spears, flashing with cold light. The awn is covered with a barbed metal mesh.

Outside the gate, on the chests of the knights standing upright, there were bloody roses blooming silently.

"This is……"

"Unlike the Royal Magicians who are stationed in the palace, the Royal Knights are divided into two parts. The Marigold Knights are responsible for guarding the palace, while the other Blood Rose... is responsible for the security and defense of the upper city."

Celicia stepped out of the carriage, and not long after, a disheveled, pot-bellied middle-aged man almost rolled up to Celicia, squeezed out a smile and said:

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Good evening, Count Charles."

Celecia nodded slightly: "There has been an accident in the palace, and thieves have invaded. I would like to borrow some manpower from you to eradicate the thieves."

"Thieves... thieves?"

Charles wiped his sweat and said with a smile:

"It shouldn't be necessary. Even if the forbidden spell fails, I think the knights over there should be enough to resist the so-called thieves."

"oh?"

Celecia raised her beautiful eyebrows: "Does His Excellency Earl Charles, who seems to have just climbed out of the woman's bed, also know that the palace forbidden spell has expired?"

Charles' expression changed, first frightened, then momentarily gloomy.

He jumped up from the ground like a rubber ball, pointed at Celcia and shouted: "Kill her for me, give me..."

puff.

Blood splattered.

Charles' fat face showed a desperate look, and his expression gradually became stagnant.

"you……"

He fell softly to the ground, and at the last moment, he saw with his peripheral vision that the man who stabbed him in the back was his most trusted deputy, a pariah he specially promoted so that someone could be there while he was living and drinking every day. The bullies helped him handle the security work in the uptown area, and at certain moments, pushed out to block the knife.

But now, it was him who was stabbed.

"Your Highness."

The blood-covered knight half-knelt in front of Celecia respectfully.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, the entire Blood Rose Knights are ready."

In the darkness, there were gloomy shadows, mixed with the strong smell of blood.

The so-called preparation must be more than simply standing in line.

Eliminating dissidents is something that must be done every time you stand in line.

To these absolutely loyal knights, Celcia nodded slightly with approval on her face.

Mu En looked on and was secretly shocked.

Now, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who nominally "does not have any real power", finally showed her fangs tonight.

182. Not retreating

The Knights of the Blood Rose temporarily hid in the shadows and became one of the undercurrents flowing towards the magnificent palace tonight.

Celecia did not take any action for the time being. She jumped to a high place and looked into the distance with a light jump.

The breeze blew the hem of her skirt, and her silver hair swayed slightly, like the snow girl in the story.

"I'm going to finish what I have to do."

Mu En came to Celecia's side, and the faint familiar fragrance lingering in his nose refreshed his spirits.

"You should know who our enemy is tonight."

Celcia suddenly turned around and asked.

"Of course, it's not like I don't know this even now."

Mu En also squinted his eyes, but he was not looking in the direction of the palace, but in the periphery of Belland.

Tonight, their opponent is the House of Representatives, but not just the House of Representatives.

The old aristocracy hoping to preserve their status, the opportunists eager to acquire more, and...

Those external forces just want the empire to become chaotic and fall into endless internal strife, and they don't care who becomes the emperor.

People with evil intentions on all sides and all kinds of forces unwilling to be left alone will become part of this terrifying storm tonight.

Albert is a smart man. If he dares to do such a rebellious thing, he must have united all the forces that can be united.

Therefore, these combined are the enemies they really have to face tonight.

"If you think about it, we are now enemies of half the empire." Mu En sighed.

"So, half the empire."

Celecia's frosty eyelashes trembled slightly and she whispered:

"But since we know who our enemies are, we naturally know who our friends are. I'll leave that to you."

"rest assured."

Mu En lifted her bangs and said coquettishly, "I'll leave this kind of thing to you, the handsome and charming one."

"...I hope what I see next is not you being squeezed dry by some unknown woman." Celcia said coldly.

"...Am I that kind of person?"

"Isn't it?"

"Absolutely not!" Mu En slapped her chest, looking angry after being slandered.

Is he, Moon Campbell, the kind of man who messes around with others? His pure body has only belonged to true love so far!

"...I hope I misunderstood."

Celecia retracted her gaze, her eyes flashed slightly, complex thoughts were flowing deep inside, her eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said:

"But compared to these, I am more worried about..."

"Um?"

Mu En looked over doubtfully, waiting for the next chapter.

But Celcia suddenly closed her eyes and said:

"Forget it, there's no point talking about it now."

By now, most of the context, the trends and purposes of all parties have surfaced and become clear.

Even the most secretive council has completely stood in front of the stage, becoming a performer on the stage and a high roller at the gambling table.

But there's only one thing that Celcia still can't figure out.

"Father, what exactly do you want to do?"

Celecia raised her head again and looked in the direction of the brightly lit palace.

"If your real purpose is to fish out those guys hiding in the dark, but those guys have jumped out now, why haven't you done anything yet?"

"Or...are you really just old?"

"Have you found Celcia?"

In the throne room, Albert shook his red wine glass and sat in the distinguished chair that only the master of the empire was qualified to sit on.

Once, he needed to look up here, but now, he sits here, looking down at everything.

"not yet."

The robin sat aside, admiring the rare collections in the palace with the same curiosity.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess was very cautious, and she should have deployed manpower in the palace. As soon as the incident broke out here, she immediately hid, and the men we sent to surround her were in vain."

"She is evil-minded."

"Based on the current intelligence, yes."

Robin replied: "Earl Charles has lost news. Several guards in the upper city have been attacked. The families of those ministers also seem to have received a message from someone and are ready to take action."

"Make sure you find her and kill her."

Albert's tone was gloomy: "We can't let anyone threaten us."

"clear."

The robin stopped playing, bowed his head respectfully and said:

"We must do our best."

"What I want is not to do my best, but to be foolproof!"

Albert's eyes flashed slightly and he suddenly said:

"How's it going over there at the Campbell's?"

"There is nothing unusual at the moment. It is still under our surveillance."

"I'm not talking about Campbell of Belland, but... that lion on the border! The hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in his hands, that's the real threat!"

"Duke Campbell?"

The robin was startled, flapped its wings, jumped around in front of the throne and said:

"There is no news of anything unusual over there yet, but after all, the border is far away. If he really makes any small moves, we will not be able to respond in time. Duke Campbell is surrounded by people from the royal faction, and our internal agents are not deployed at all. Don’t go in.”
