"Your Majesty——! Your Majesty——!!"

Shortly after the duel, one of the palace guards stumbled into the ruins of the church. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"-Huh?"

When everyone saw the person who came, many aristocratic ladies exclaimed one after another.

Because, the person who came looked so miserable.

The clothes on his body were torn in many places, and they were stained a harsh red by blood.

Even, with his actions, red blood spilled all the way to the ground.

"Your Majesty——!! Oh no! The Archduke of Scotland openly rebelled, and the royal palace ...... The palace has fallen!"

「「「「「「Uproar ——!!!!!!" 」」」」」

There was an uproar.

Everyone couldn't believe the guard's report.

"A blatant rebellion?"

"How is that possible!?"

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Isn't Scotland going to marry London?"

"The palace is lost!?"

Among the panicked nobles, the queen did not react much, he just listened to the report of the visitor, and then asked the guard to take him down.

「…… Finally, aren't you going to put up with it?"

With a low sigh, the queen turned to look at Castries.

"Aren't you going to have an explanation, little one?"

So, all eyes fell on Castelli.

In the face of everyone's gaze, Castries Ling was not afraid, but showed a smile full of malice.

Just then, a group of guards rushed in and surrounded Castry.

"Didn't Your Majesty already know about it?"

"So, is that your justification?"

"Or else? Your Majesty, you've been preparing for today for a long time, haven't you? Otherwise—why didn't the court have a single guard?"

(This...... Could it be that the so-called marriage contract with Iyeta is all an illusion? What rebellion is it all about? ）

Mu Yue, who was confused, gradually clarified her thoughts.

He looked at Ieta beside him, and the girl just held Mu Yue's arm, her expression gloomy.

There is no normal girl who will be happy when her marriage is used as an opportunity for a struggle between two forces.

"Ridiculous, your father aside, you're still here, what can that guy in Scotland do after taking you?"

「………… Your Majesty, can you try it?"

Castry's fearless attitude worried the queen, but she suppressed it.

(Hopefully...... There will be no surprises, this is already done...... ）

Smack!

As the queen clapped her hands gently, another large group of guards rushed in.

It's just—

Instead of capturing Castries as the queen had expected, the guards surrounded everyone but Castries in the field.

Meanwhile.

The first guards who had come in before also turned their weapons and aimed their blades at the queen.

"W-what!?"

"How could it be ......?"

"What do you want to do!? Is it a blatant rebellion!?"

"Ahh..................!!!!h

Castries finally burst out laughing.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Castries walked up to the queen.

"Isn't it surprised? Not just palace guards, kingdom guards, magician guilds, knights, and even the national army...... It's all ours already!"

"It's impossible to !!!."

"Nothing is impossible—nothing is impossible if it can be done through hundreds of years and generations!"

Castelli opened his arms and looked up at Her Majesty.

"Now, Your Majesty, I've been playing the duel game with you for so long, it's time for the game to end...... In order to get all the lackeys who are loyal to you in the end, we will accompany you in this marriage game, and even deliberately leak part of the plan to you......

The Queen's face had turned pale.

Mu Yue was in shock, and Iyeta suddenly gently held his hand.

"Let's ...... away"

Her Royal Highness the princess leaned into Mu Yue's ear and whispered.

"Hurry up, they're not really targeting you...... I'm sorry to involve Darling, but ...... If you leave now, you'll be able to escape......

Escape?

Leave Ieta behind and run away?

Looking at the current situation, the Archduke of Scotland has already openly rebelled, and Castries even bluntly said just now that "this is the result of hundreds of years of hard work of several generations".

(Iyeta...... It's dangerous! ）

"Master, what now?"

Shangyang walked in front of Mu Yue and faintly protected him behind him.

"Master, as long as you give the order and fight in battle, Lao Tzu will never frown."

"Sword Master...... And ...... me."

"Master."

"Little Mujun ......"

The swords have shown their mentality.

Mu Yue hesitated.

If he were alone, of course he would choose to stay and help Iyeta.

But—

(Yumetake's own strength is still there, but Saeko ...... ）

This time, Saeko also followed, and if Mu Yue was rashly involved in this rebellion, Saeko would definitely be in danger.

Suddenly, something soft was on my back.

The familiar breath made Mu Yue understand who was coming.

「…… I'm fine."

Saeko said softly.

"Brother Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you, if it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess, you wouldn't be involved—how, as long as you can help me...... No, as long as you choose neutrality! I'm not going to embarrass you!"

Castries turned his head to look at Mu Yue.

（…… Well, he seems to have concerns? ）

Mu Yue's heart moved, and his eyes suddenly looked to the side.

Gong Xingyun didn't seem to have any worries all the time, except for the initial surprise at the sudden change in the situation, and soon regained his calm.

(By the way, Xingyun is the first-level Dao Monarch of Chongdao Palace, no matter what the other party does, he must not ignore this identity)

"Mu Yue, I may be going to disappoint you."

Gong Xingyun raised his head and looked at Mu Yue expressionlessly.

"I can't help you with this kind of thing as a Dao Monarch of Chongdao Palace—if you decide to side with Iyeta."

"Xingyun-chan!?"

Mengzhu looked at Gong Xingyun in disbelief, and was about to say something when Emperor Qi suddenly stopped Mengzhu.

Mu Yue nodded.

「………… I see, after all, you represent Chongdao Palace to a certain extent."

"Ahahahaha! What's that look on your face? I just said that I can't help you stand on one side of them as the Daojun of Chongdao Palace, but if you look at it as a private person, as your friend, if you don't involve Chongdao Palace, then it's fine......

"Xingyun!?"

「…… Shh Don't get me wrong! I don't care about you!"

Gong Xingyun, who was blushing, bared his teeth at Mu Yue, revealing half of his tiger teeth.
