Chapter 55: Change
I looked at Nigel with some hesitation.
"Hehe, you group of people are too proud, even if you kill me, you don't want to get out of this Five Kings City!" To say that Nigel's stinky temper has really not changed at all, and he still shows no weakness at this point.
'Don't worry, we're not going to kill you.' Then I struck Nigel the back of the head, and it fell to its knees but still didn't faint, and I had to reverse the hilt of my sword and make up for it, and it passed out on the ground. Then the princess and I took off Nigel's belt, tied it up, and threw it into the pile of miscellaneous items by the side of the road.
'It's so cheap?' When she was done, the princess patted the dust on her hands and said.
"Killing it won't do us any good right now, if we don't get it right, it will anger those guys, and now that El Rose has also found it, we still have to find a way to meet Ah Zi and the others as soon as possible, and then go out of the city to take refuge."
"It can't be that Your Majesty, the Great Demon King, is deliberately merciful to his former subordinates, right?" The princess said half-jokingly.
'If it were, what would you do to me?' I asked rhetorically with a smile.
Suddenly, the princess's expression became serious: 'If you really become that guy, I will do everything I can to kill you.'"
The princess's answer was a bit surprising to me, and for a moment I was stunned.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you, let's go, or the group of guys will be in trouble after a while.'" The princess smiled and patted my arm, as if everything was just a joke between friends, but my intuition told me that she was absolutely serious at that moment, yes, this was originally her duty as a 'Templar', there was nothing to blame, and even if there was a day I would like her to do so, but for some reason I still feel a little sad in my heart to hear her say this in person, if we continue to be together like this, maybe sooner or later there will be a day when we will meet each other...
'Ahh
'Don't come here, there's a trap!' Before I could get closer, the princess suddenly said in a loud voice. I suddenly stopped, did not dare to step forward, looking at the two of them did not seem to be injured, but the expression was painful, I couldn't help but begin to look around vigilantly, and did not find anything unusual, at this moment I suddenly felt movement behind me, but when I turned my head to see but there was nothing, just when I was so stunned, suddenly my left foot seemed to be cut by some sharp object, a piercing pain came, and I fell to one knee in an instant.
'Someone, come out for me!' Even though I was in pain and couldn't fight, I still shouted at the people around me.
'Hehe, that's what the legendary 'Templar Glory' is all about.' Laughter, the laughter of a woman, I followed the direction from which the sound came from, and I saw a woman in a white robe slowly walking out of the shadows deep in the alley, perhaps for fear of being recognized, she wrapped herself tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes, which were originally beautiful eyes, enough to make anyone who saw them move, but at this moment there was a creepy light from these eyes, the kind of light that only beasts have.
'Is that you!?' At this time, Eroth, who was only listening to the side, exclaimed, as if he recognized the other party.
The woman's body moved, as if she didn't expect Eroth to recognize her identity with just a word, but she soon regained her composure.
'I didn't expect to change the tone to this, you can still hear it, it seems that you are really concerned about my affairs... Huh.' As she spoke, the woman lifted her veil, revealing a beautiful face, and it seemed that she was not young anymore, about thirty years old? Maybe bigger, but it doesn't affect her beauty in the slightest, and even shows a special charm that only a mature woman can have, which is by no means comparable to a young girl who has never been in the world, the only thing that makes people feel a little disgusting is her complexion, which is too fair, at first glance it seems to be as smooth and smooth as a girl, but if you look closely, you will feel the unnaturalness in it.
'Sure enough, it's you... So, you arranged everything tonight?' Ellos said.
'Well, why can't I understand what you're saying?' Having said that, the woman could clearly feel a sense of pride in her expression.
"Don't pretend to be garlic, I used to wonder how those vampires knew my whereabouts, and they actually ambushed me in the abandoned garden in advance and caught me off guard, but now I see you and everything makes sense, but I didn't expect you to find out that I was investigating you... Her Royal Highness the Princess!'
'What, Princess!' The princess and I couldn't help but be surprised to hear Ellrose say this, could it be that the woman in front of me was...
"Hmph, you've done a good enough job, I originally put those eyeliners in the palace just to guard against a rival of mine, but I didn't expect to find out that our usually taciturn Instructor Brown was actually the famous 'Templar Light' Lord Elros... It's disrespectful.' The woman walked slowly in front of Ellros as she spoke, she walked very specially, obviously her body was tightly wrapped up and down, but she still exuded a heart-warming beauty, she did not deny Ellrose's words, which was equivalent to directly admitting her identity, could it be that this person is the princess of today's Borrell Kingdom!? But why did such a noble person have anything to do with the demons, and why did Elrose investigate her? For a moment, the princess and I couldn't help but fall into confusion.
At this time, I only heard El Rose struggling and said: 'I see, as soon as I heard that there was a girl in the city who disappeared mysteriously, I guessed that most of this matter was related to the demons, and I was worried that it was coming at me, so I intervened in the investigation, but I didn't expect that in the end, I actually found out that someone from the palace was involved, and the reason why the family was forced away was completely because the younger brother of the murdered girl accidentally discovered the true identity of the murderer!'
The princess smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "That's right, I was careless that day, I just changed my coat, but I forgot to untie the belt with the royal insignia, but unfortunately the little boy saw it again, and shouted around, fortunately he didn't remember that the badge belonged to the royal family for a while, and no one believed him, but I didn't want to take the risk, so I had to send my personal maid to pass on the word, and the family was also acquainted, and they obediently went away that night..."
Hearing this, I realized that what they were talking about was the family that Ah Zi and the others investigated during the day, and the whole thing was not far from what we guessed, so that all the mysteries were explained, why the family left in a hurry without even avenging their daughter's revenge, and the well-made handkerchief, it turned out that the real culprit of the disappearance of the girl who had caused panic in the past two months was Her Royal Highness the Princess! Wait, if everything that little boy said is true, could it be that this princess in front of him is not human, but...
'So you're a demon at all!' Sure enough, Eroth thought of this layer as well.
'What do you say?' At this time, the princess crouched down and leaned in front of Eroth and whispered, the tone was like a whisper between lovers, but then from those delicate lips was a blood-red snake letter...
