By the time Alan woke up in the unfamiliar room, it seemed to be dawn—a few rays of sunlight had leaked through the cracks in the nailed windows and landed on the ground.

Just woke up and was still a little dizzy, Alan wanted to raise his hand to rub his head, but found that the terminal on his wrist was missing, and his hands were tied. He tried to break free, but the rope was supposed to be a dense material, and the thin one was extremely strong.

Alan sat up and looked around.

It's an ordinary-looking guesthouse, the south window has been blocked, there is a lamp in the room, and a small wooden barrel with a lid is piled up in the corner, and you can guess what it is for.

Other than that, there was a worn-out bed and a chair with paint off, and the door was closed, leaving a rectangular opening, which looked like a "window".

- Well, he's locked up! And, apparently, it was tied up.

……

I don't know if it was last night...... Or the Eve...... After spending their last night in Die's church, they were awakened by a sudden commotion, and then a deacon from the church knocked on the door to take them into hiding.

At first, because it was dark, he couldn't see clearly, and Alan didn't notice that there was something unusual about this deacon, until a group of them fled to the back door, and Alan gradually realized that something was not quite right.

It's not that he is arrogant and thinks how great the name of the "quasi-princess" is, but after all, there are three people in their group of students who are not low, even if Deacon Richard, the head of the church, is indifferent to fame and fortune and treats everyone equally, he will not let a deacon take them to escape!

And when the situation is unknown, rush to the back door vigorously!

Is it true that if the front is attacked, the back door must be safe?

Thinking of this, Allen's steps hesitated, and the person who followed him saw him slow down, as if he was in good intentions, and pushed him...... Alan looked back and saw that it was Carter's Alinson.

Something flashed through his mind, and Alan simply stopped—Princess Gwynnie and Allinson reacted strangely!

- Why didn't the two of them care where the guards of their country were, but ran away with them without saying a word, which seemed to be an emergency response, but if you think about it, it doesn't make sense at all!

——When people encounter danger, shouldn't they first find the person they are most familiar with and feel the most reliable?

Although Alan tried, and their communication seemed to be disrupted and the royal guards could not be contacted at all, Princess Gwynnie did not try to contact her own guards once after the incident, isn't it a very unusual thing?

It stands to reason that in such a dark place, everyone is in a hurry to escape, and they can't notice what is happening behind.

But the leading deacon, who was a "careful" man, noticed the strangeness of the group almost immediately, hurried over, and before Alan could speak, he hurriedly urged them to follow the group.

Under the light of the portable lamp, the anxious and worried face of the deacon shrouded in the dark night was revealed, looking a little strange and distorted, and Alan could see the looming "soul" on the other party's shoulder in the faint light!

It was some kind of "long-tailed monkey" - fangs and claws, looking irritable and vicious, a little uneasy, but there was also a faint smugness, as if some conspiracy was about to succeed.

When a person with special spiritual power uses spiritual power or when mental power fluctuates extremely violently, the "soul appearance" will appear - although this deacon does not use the purification ability, he is obviously in a high degree of excitement and excitement, so he unconsciously shows his "tail".

If he couldn't judge that there was something wrong with this deacon at this time, Alan would have wasted his ability to "see souls", and he immediately said: "Since the front is attacked, there may be an ambush behind, we can't just go out, maybe it is safer to stay in the church!" ”

Not knowing that Alan had determined that there was something wrong with him, the deacon's eyes flickered, and he immediately defended: "Stay in the church, sooner or later it will be discovered, now while there is a battle in front, we will ...... from the back door"

"What about after you get out the back door? What's next? Is there a flying machine or a rescue team? How can we escape when we get out? Alan unceremoniously interrupted him: "Go yourself, we're going to stay here!" ”

"Alan Adrington, is it time for you to be willful when it's so critical now?"

Princess Gwynne also followed, and when she heard Alan's words, she reprimanded: "We don't know what happened ahead, this deacon obeyed Deacon Richard's arrangement and took us to escape through the back door, out of a heart to protect us, you are chirping here crookedly, delaying everyone, can you afford this responsibility?!" ”

Alan listened to Princess Gwynnie's words, and was even more sure that there was something wrong with this, and he resolutely stopped moving.

Although the other students were scared and worried, they saw that the two most senior people in the team had different opinions, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only stop and wait for one of them to compromise.

"If you are in a hurry, princess, go with this deacon!"

"What are you talking about, you ......" Princess Gwynnie was annoyed and was about to say something, when Alinson gently pulled her.

The beautiful boy who had been hiding behind her spoke: "Allen-san is right, now we don't know anything, and going out may not be the best choice, and there are so many old people and children in the church, should we leave them alone and run away by ourselves?" ”

Princess Gwynnie was extremely angry that Allinson suddenly helped Alan speak against her, but Alan didn't want to go, could she still hold him up?!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

It was a stalemate for a long time, and the noise in the distance was getting closer and closer, and Alan and the others saw a group of people running towards this direction from a distance, led by the supreme head of the Diere church, Deacon Richard.

"Her Highness Gwynnie! Lord Allen! When Deacon Richard saw them, an expression of surprise appeared on his anxious face: "I just took someone to the dormitory to look for you, but I didn't see a single person, I was almost scared to death!" ”

The students present immediately looked at each other - Deacon Richard went to find them? The deacon just now......

When everyone looked around, they found that the person who was "sent by Deacon Richard" had long since disappeared!

"What's going on?" Now is not the time to pursue such a thing, Alan asked Deacon Richard.

Deacon Richard pondered for a while, but decided to tell the truth: "The situation is not very optimistic, the other party interfered with our distress signal, obviously prepared, and there are many people, the guards outside the church are limited, and it has already been ...... Many people have died......

Deacon Richard did not finish his sentence, but those present were not stupid, and immediately understood what he had not done, and bowed their heads one after another, feeling sorry for the warriors who had died protecting them.

"What about the old people and children?"

"Arrangements have been made for them to be sent to the chapel, where there is an idol of our god to appease the elderly and children."

In addition to spiritual sustenance, Alan knew that Deacon Richard's move had another layer of deep meaning.

Since the situation is serious, it is only a matter of time before the gangsters break through the defense line of the guards and enter the interior of the church, and it will be very dangerous for so many unarmed elderly people and children to enter the church.

Most of the gangsters who can appear in the Emperor Star will not be the kind of stateless and faithless people, if there are still some of them who believe in the god of light, then placing the old man and children under the idol of the chapel can somewhat resist some harm - even if the believer is extremely vicious, he will be slightly restrained in the face of the gods!

What's more, not only Alan and Deacon Richard, but more and more people have already realized who these gangsters are really targeting after calming down a little!

- Who would attack an ordinary local church for no reason, and there is no gold, silver or jewelry?! The most valuable thing here is a foreign princess and a princess-to-be!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As one of the "most valuable" people in the church at the moment, Alan suddenly thought of something else.

He wondered who these gangsters might be......

What is basically certain now is that Princess Gwynne obviously has some connection with the gangsters, and the deacon just now is the gangster's internal response, does that mean that these gangsters may also be Samuel's people!

Although Princess Gwynne has guards, this is after all in Samuel's territory, the number of princesses' guards is limited, and most of the guards outside the church are still dominated by the royal family and the academy.

There are so many of them, organized, premeditated, and armed, it is impossible for them to be all Carters - otherwise how would they have gotten to the Emperor through layers of inspection?

Either someone "let them in" or simply Samuel's natives, either of which is very bad news for Allen.

Because this just shows that their goal is indeed themselves, or princesses, or ......

"Bang bang bang!" With the continuous sound of explosions and gunshots, the cacophony finally came from far and near, and the deacons and nuns of the church protected the old man and the children behind them, and the students snuggled up to each other.

As the door of the chapel was slammed open, everyone fell into despair - the people who came in were obviously not their own people, but a group of gangsters with masks!

Deacon Richard held the twelve-pointed star pendant in his hand and took the lead in stepping forward: "My God is above, what do you want to do?" ”

Hearing Deacon Richard's words, he unconsciously glanced at the statue of the god of light in front of the chapel, and although those people did not put down their guns, they did not continue to walk.

One of the leaders spoke, "Hand over Princess Gwynnie, Alinson Hembry, and Alan Adrington, and we won't hurt the others, but if you dare to resist...... Then don't blame us for taking tough measures! ”

- And so it was!

Deacon Richard didn't know if he was glad that the gangsters had a single goal and would not harm the old people and children of the church, or if he was anxious that their targets were princesses-to-be and princesses.

He was about to continue the negotiation when a clear and firm female voice sounded behind him.

"Okay, I'll go with you! But you have to make sure that you will never hurt the other people here, especially these old people and children! ”

Deacon Richard looked at Princess Gwynne who came out of the crowd in surprise, and the other party didn't care about anyone, turned his head and said to the young man behind him: "Allinson, stand up like a man, now is the time for you to protect the people!" Don't cringe! ”

In the glimmer of the chapel, Gwynnie's fearless and noble royal temperament is undoubtedly revealed!

Although he was directly called by the princess, Alinson obviously did not have such courage, he hesitated for a moment, and had to stand up slowly, looking at Deacon Richard at a loss, looking pitiful.

After calling Alinson, Princess Gwynne looked at Alan in the crowd, although she didn't continue to say anything, but the pride on her face and the faint disdain in her eyes seemed to be condemning Alan for not taking the initiative to stand up and exchange herself for the safety of others.

Alan didn't intend to hide, he just took the opportunity to carefully observe the reactions of the various people, and he soon noticed that there were several other deacons and nuns in the church who looked different...... The "soul appearance" that appears from time to time is also different!

- He is even more sure that most of these gangsters are Samuels, otherwise how could he cultivate so many "internal responses" in such a short period of time?

There is no point in a stalemate here, the gangsters will not give them more opportunities to stall - not to mention that the time that could have been delayed has been completely disrupted by Princess Gwynne's righteous and awe-inspiring play!

Alan stood up and walked out of the crowd.

At this time, a person suddenly pounced on his leg, Alan looked down and found that it was little George who was looking at him with teary eyes, desperately grabbing his leg, and the "little golden retriever" who didn't open his eyes pitifully grabbed his other leg, as if begging him not to leave!

Alan gently touched little George's head, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and soothed: "Good boy, go to the nun, it's getting late, you're going to sleep......"

"You don't ...... Don't go...... Will ...... "Will die!"

- That's how his mother is! Put him in the trash, kiss him on the forehead, tell him not to look what was going on outside, and never came back!

Before Alan could say anything, Gwynnie walked over and crouched down to comfort little George: "We don't ...... Yes! ”

With a "snap", everyone was stunned.

When Princess Gwynnie squatted down, little George directly waved his little hand and slapped her, which happened to be slapped on the other party's face.

Gwynnie, who was slapped in the face, was first shocked, and then angrily tried to catch little George.

Alan immediately protected the child behind him and said to her calmly: "Her Royal Highness the princess can even ignore her own safety for the sake of everyone, how can she worry about a child, right?" ”

"You!"

"That's it! Don't delay any longer, please come with us consciously! The gangsters at the head of the gang interrupted their conversation at someone's eye signal, and ordered his own people to bring Alan and Gwynnie over.

This time, they didn't give the princess a chance to say anything more righteous and generous, so they took the three of them out of the chapel.

Little George was held tightly in his arms by the deacon behind him, looking at the back of Allen's departure, he bit his lower lip tightly, and tears the size of beans welled up from his eyes......

Behind Allen's insight, the "little golden retriever" who never opened his eyes actually opened his eyes, revealing brown eyes, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his heart, and never forget it!

……

Alan can't remember what happened after that, because they were soon sedated, fell into a coma, and when they woke up, they were in this strange room.

When a person thinks, it is easy to think about many things clearly, and he can guess the purpose of Princess Gwynne by connecting the events before and after, but he does not think that this proud princess will finally be able to do so......

- Because the purpose of her helpers may not be as simple as she imagined!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After a night's rest, Gwynnie sat at the window and asked the maid to comb her hair.

"There's not even a mirror here!" She threw the fan onto the table and grumbled.

"Your Highness, please bear with me, didn't that say that we only need to stay here for two days at most?" Corning patiently reassured Gwynnie.

Hearing this, Gwynnie nodded: "That's right, my father will soon send a statement to put pressure on the Samuel royal family, and at that time, the two sides will act together to solve all the troubles immediately!" ”

At first, she gave up the opportunity to marry the Federation and crossed the star field to come to Samuel, but she didn't expect to receive the news that Prince Kyle was about to get engaged as soon as she arrived.

Despite the excellence of Her Royal Highness Kyle, Gwynnie, as Princess Carter, disdains to steal a husband with the son of a nobleman.

Unfortunately, she has a heavy responsibility and can't return in vain, and they have too few connections in Samuel, so Gwynnie can only order Alinson to get close to Kyle - after all, it is appropriate to be the crown prince's mistress as him!

Then the father can rely on this relationship to befriend Samuel's future emperor, so as to consolidate his throne.

But what she didn't expect was that Alinson just had a good skin, but he couldn't use it at all, not only could he not get close to Kyle's body, but even caused the other party's disgust and avoidance!

Afterwards, Gwynnie reprimanded Alinson for being a good student, but she also knew that the mud would not hold up the wall, so the plan had to be shelved.

At this moment, she and those people were connected by fate, and the two sides could be said to hit it off!

On the one hand, the old nobles who hope that the glory of the family will continue, and on the other hand, the foreign royal family who still have hope for marriage, so they have become like-minded allies.

After a period of deliberation and deliberation, they finally came to an agreement, and Gwynnie thought that the plan had been very well prepared.

First, when the students went out to participate in church activities, they let the "gangsters" kidnap themselves and the princess-to-be;

Carter then put pressure, and the allies used public opinion and private power to push the Samuel royal family to actively deal with the matter;

then borrowed the hands of gangsters to make Alan Adrington "tragically killed", and then "rescued" himself as a survivor.

When Kyle's prospective princess is gone, and the Samuel royal family wants to appease the Carter royal family, it is just in time to re-conclude a marriage that matches the family, and she will be the best choice for the princess!

When she becomes a real princess, or even a future queen, she will lend a helping hand and support the "allies", so that a win-win deal is good for each other and seamless!

That's why she had to stand up decisively in front of everyone last night, so that she could fully express her noble qualities in front of the witnesses and leave a beautiful and resolute image to the Samuel people.

But such a great opportunity...... It's all messed up by that little bastard!

Gwynnie unconsciously touched her face, the red mark there had disappeared, but the shame in her heart could not be forgotten - when this matter was over, she must find the stinky boy, torture him well, and then abolish his hand, so that he could know who could not be offended!

Kang stood quietly on the sidelines, just watching Gwynnie's ever-changing expression. There was a knock at the door outside, and she went outside, with the princess's permission, and returned after a while.

"What's going on?"

"Alan Adrington is awake."

Gwynnie picked up the fan on the table and shook it lightly twice: "It's also a classmate, let him go and understand." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Looking at Allen, with her hands tied and her feet shackled, Princess Gwynnie sat on the clean chair brought by the maid, and said to Alan with a look of regret and guilt: "Actually, we don't want to do this either, but ...... You know, sometimes you can't help yourself......"

"Where's your brother?" Alan asked suddenly.

"What? What brother? Gwynnie didn't understand for a moment, and was stunned for a while.

"Isn't Alinson your half-brother?" Alan said lightly.

"You...... How did you...... No...... I mean...... What nonsense are you talking about?! ”

"Do you think Samuel won't check anything when he accepts an exchange student?"

In fact, this "secret" is really only known to Allen, but now that he wants to find a way to break through Gwynnie's psychological defense, he can only pretend that this is a well-known thing - after all, being able to find out about this means that he may find out something else!

- Once Gwynnie thinks that the Samuel royal family knows something about them, she will have some scruples, and maybe there is room for maneuvering.

"If I were you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy now."

"What do you mean?!" Gwynnie looked at Alan suspiciously, thinking he was playing tricks.

"I'm blocking the way of some, but aren't you, princess, getting in the way of others?"

Gwynne thought for a moment and understood what Eren meant, but she suddenly sneered and said, "It's all come to this point, you still want to sow discord?" Don't be stupid, Alinson and I are not the same father and mother, but after all, it is a place that comes out, and he doesn't dare to do anything to me. ”

Alan also followed her example, sneered, and looked at Gwynnie regretfully: "You seem to be a little overconfident, in fact, it's very simple, you just ask yourself, do you have any plans, take this opportunity to kill Alinson together." ”

Gwynnie glared at Allen, but didn't say anything - because she was completely guessed by Allen!

In fact, Gwynnie didn't intend to let Allinson continue to live, on the one hand, there was a little disdain and vigilance for his identity, and on the other hand, someone had to make sacrifices and make an appearance - Samuel died a princess-to-be, Carter died a duke's son, that's fair, isn't it?

"Do you think Alinson would sit back and wait if he found out about this?" Alan glanced at Gwynnie and continued, "Also the child of Guy Sen II, he is also very suitable to be Samuel's princess-to-be. ”
