Lisanna loomed like a ghost in the palace, and it was only then that she realized how difficult it was for an assassin to infiltrate the palace.

"I must be crazy. Lisana thought silently as she dodged the patrolling guards.

Let's go back to the night last time when Lishana came to see Regner without permission.

"I'm ......" Lisanna hesitated to hear Regner make such a request. After all, Alexander also knew about the imprisonment of Regner and agreed. And now, do you want to violate Alexander's will? Lisanna was at a loss, in fact, she had reasoned with the second prince as early as when Alexander imprisoned Regner. But to Lisanna's surprise, Alexander, who has always been easy-going, did not show any tolerance or concession in this matter. Although Regner's imprisonment was ordered by Joffrey, Alexander did not object to it either. Even after hearing Lishana's offer to release Regner, he was rarely angry with Lishana. And now, is she finally going to defy Alexander......'s will? Just that Regner?

"......" Regner saw Lisanna's expression and didn't say anything more. He knew that Lishana had refused, and although he didn't say it explicitly, her expression had already told Regner that she didn't want to disobey Alexander. After all, that's his fiancé.

"I'll give it a try!" I don't know how long there was silence, and Lishana said suddenly.

"Huh?!" Regner was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Lishana to agree. To be honest, he already owes this girl too much, not to mention that Lishana doesn't agree to help him at this time, even if Lishana just cuts herself with a knife, Regner will not have any complaints. After all, if it weren't for her, Erin would have died in Costa Fortress long ago. But now, Lisanna agreed to her request?

"You think clearly, I won't force you. Regner hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to confirm Lisanna's thoughts, and said, "There may not be any room for recovery in this matter, you don't have to take such a risk." You disobeyed Alexander. ”

"I always knew what I was doing. Lishana seemed very resolute, yes, Alexander is the love of her heart, but this does not mean that she Lishana will lose her position and judgment because of her lover, that is blind obedience, not love. But Lisana will not be like this, she will always have her own judgment, and if she feels that someone is wrong, then this person, even Alexander, she will correct his mistake.

Because of this, Lishana was sneaking around the palace at this time. Alexander once inadvertently mentioned that the chain that blocked Regner was actually an artifact called the Lock. The artifact could seal all the power of the target, and the key to unlocking the locks seemed to be in the drawer of Alexander's office.

"Beyond this hallway, Alexander's office is over. Lisanna thought silently as she hid in the shadows. Until now, she still can't believe her actions. She went so far as to steal what belonged to Alexander for Regner's sake. These two people, who is she trusting?

"I believe in myself and trust in my own judgment. Lisana said to herself in her heart. It's not that she doesn't believe Alexander, she just thinks that Alexander did something wrong about this.

Lishana moved after standing firm, just as a group of patrolmen burst out of the corner of the hallway, not even making any footsteps. Lisana gasped as she jumped up as the guard took the first leg.

The guard walked unhurriedly under Lisanna's nose, and Lishana fell down softly, slightly relieved. She had just used her vindictive spirit to forcibly fix herself to the ceiling. It's a very difficult way to control the fighting spirit, and even if Malolite is here, he will applaud his apprentice's amazing performance.

Lisanna finally arrived at Alexander's office, the office of the Empire's supreme military commander, but alas, Alexander rarely stayed here. Because he often went on expeditions with the army. Lisana drew her Wind Sword, infused her fighting spirit delicately into the blade, and then sliced through the door with the blade. Alexander's office is magically forbidden, and in order to enter, he must take out a crystal stone to release the corresponding magic fluctuations. Obviously, the crystal stone had always been with Alexander. So Lishana had to break down the door to get into the room.

"Well, why is there a sound there?" the guard said.

Lisanna's heart was in her throat, but she was still concentrating on manipulating the vindictive energy to cut the door panel.

As the footsteps drew closer, Lishana burrowed into the hole she had cut out like a nimble kitten, and blocked it with the cut before the guards could notice.

"Phew......" Lisana breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the guards leave. She glanced around Alexander's office and began searching.

"It should be a key with a magic rune. Lisana thought silently, she had carefully observed the chain that sealed Regner yesterday, and it did have a keyhole on it, and what she was looking for at this time was the key with the energy of the magic runes.

"Found it, so smooth!" Lishana eventually found the key in Alexander's locked drawer, and the key glowed with magic like Regner's chain, and the first time Lisana saw it, she was sure that it was what she wanted.

After getting what she wanted, Lisanna pushed open the window of Alexander's office and jumped out. She had to rush back to Regner again, and then use the key to free Regner.

In the distance, two figures stood silently in an inconspicuous room in the palace, silently watching the moonlit Lisanna sneak into the office and steal the key.

"It seems that everything is going well. The figure standing in front of the window whispered that the moonlight only shone on the little golden tip of his hair that hung down on his chest, and the rest of him was blocked in the shadows of the room.

"Your Highness......" The second man knelt down on one knee and said the two words in a pleading tone.

"Alright, Snow, you don't have to. The man in front of him, known as His Highness, shook his head: "Didn't we say it a long time ago? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Snow got to his knees instead of kneeling and kowtowing to the man in front of him.

"Go ahead, I think it won't be long before Regner comes to you. The first person watched Lishana slowly disappear into the shadows, and couldn't help but smile: "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? Go ahead and get ready!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Snow thanked him again, and he slowly got up, and then walked out of the room eagerly.

The man who was left behind was still standing in the shadows, silently watching the night scene in the distance of the palace, and after some time, the footsteps began to sound.

"Your Highness. Another man entered the room, bowing slightly in submission to the man from before.

"Say, did I do something wrong?" asked the man before to the man after.

"You didn't do anything wrong. The man who entered later shook his head: "The first king has long determined that you are the heir to the throne, and all you have to do now is to take back what should belong to you." ”

"But for the sake of this throne, I feel like I've done a lot of wrong things. The man's voice was bitter and painful: "For the sake of this throne, I must kill my own brother and calculate...... My love and my good friend. ”

"Regner may not be your friend, at least in his mind, you are not comparable to the likes of Kordak and Annelot. The man who came in whispered, "Moreover, you yourself should realize that the Empire, and indeed the entire continent, can no longer go through any more tribulations, and at this time, we need a great and wise king of the continent to guide us." And only you, it's the best fit. ”

"Is it another sacrifice?" the man in front of him said in a soft tone, but he was still a little reluctant to accept this result.

"Yes, sacrifice. The second man repeated it and then said, "You have understood it for a long time, haven't you? For the sake of the peace of the majority, a small number of sacrifices are necessary." And this time, you need to sacrifice your own brother...... And...... A so-called good friend. ”
