Tirrant's decision to release sent countless students in the square fleeing in fear.
A comfortable life is like a weak piece of paper, like their heart.
The cruelty of being used as talking material falls on itself, and the indifference and composure have long been discarded, and the nightmare is like a continuous tide, impacting, and crushing.
Fleeing the way, they can't avoid the legacy of the bloody killings that happened not long ago.
Streams of blood flowed, and corpses were scattered.
Once the psychological endurance collapses, the action mind begins to fall into chaos.
Someone cried in horror on this road.
Some people are like puppets and lose their minds.
Someone vomited and fainted.
But, strong people always save zΓ i, they help them, appease, detach.
"Ratzy, what the hell is going on?"
Maggie held Rachi's hand tightly, as if she would lose her courage and collapse as soon as she let go.
"I don't know, they look like the guards of those nobles."
Laki glanced at the corpse not far from his feet, there was a hole in his neck, the blood had long since dried up, the upturned flesh made people's chest dull and uncomfortable, and his eyes seemed to have unbelievable unwillingness.
She covered her mouth, she felt something about to rush up her throat, but her heart wouldn't allow her to do it.
For myself, for Maggie.
"Rakhi, are you alright?" Seeing that Ratche's face was pale, Maggie asked uneasily.
"It's fine, it's just a little uncomfortable."
After taking a deep breath, Raki shook her head and waved her hands to force her composure, "However, Maggie, you are really strong. β
Maggie, who was praised, was not happy and proud, but bit her lip and whispered, "Laqi, have you forgotten jΓ¬?" I have seen a scene that is even more brutal than it is now. β
"Look at me, my memory is blurred with fright." Ratchet sighed.
"Laqi, you said that Brother Xia Lan will be fine, right? If something really happens to him, I, I-"
From the time the nobles of the viewing platform were seized and taken away, Maggie saw Xia Lan in the middle from a distance, and after the Blood Banner Society announced its decision to release them, the academy students who had long been reluctant to stay here fled one after another.
She and Raki were forced to move their feet in the crowd until the crowd stopped.
Along the way, she kept thinking about Xia Lan's safety at all times, and the worries buried in her heart became more and more serious, and the bloody and cruel scenes seemed to evoke the memories of the past, and she could no longer hide the fear in her heart.
Her eyes were moist and confused, and tears were piling up.
If Xia Lan died because of this incident, how would she, who invited him, accept this result.
She didn't want to be the one who killed him.
"Maggie, don't worry."
Raki stroked her head, she understood her thoughts, if she let her beloved die because of herself, this guilt pain would be unbearable for anyone.
"Didn't you say your brother was a very good man? I think he'll have a way out of it no matter what happens, so don't worry about guilt like that, after all, it's not the worst yet. β
"But, butβ"
Tears slowly soaked her cheeks, Maggie raised her little face and looked at Raki sadly, "Seeing the current scene, how can I not worry. β
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll accompany you until your brother Xia Lan appears safely." Rachi's tone was full of tenderness, patiently soothing the wounds in her heart.
Holding her little weeping head in her arms, Ratchey looked up at the sky with a complicated expression.
For Maggie's feelings, she has always regarded her as her sister.
When she first met Maggie, her timid and shy appearance caused Rachi's heart to be concerned.
When she was harassed by boys, she was the first to stand up and protect her.
She became friends with her.
She liked the simplicity of her character.
Born into a noble family, she had few friends, and in reality she only had one friend, Yavis.
She had no siblings because her mother lost the ability to have children when she gave birth to her.
She has been in the social circle of the nobles all the year round, and she has witnessed many dirty and filthy things as a precocious person, and she hates this kind of life, as if she even has interests in normal friends.
Some people are happy because of the ordinary.
Some people are lonely because of their wealth and power.
The best of both worlds doesn't happen to everyone.
There are gains and losses.
Because Maggie is simple, everyone is equal in her eyes, and she will not treat the other party differently because they are commoners or noble children, which is exactly what Ratchey likes about her.
The feelings that are not mixed with any interests are the feelings of friends she needs.
Even though she knew that Yavis had a faint admiration for Maggie in her heart.
She doesn't want to lose her lover, she doesn't want to lose her friends.
So, she chose to be silent.
The corners of her eyes suddenly began to beat unconsciously at the thought of Yavis, because the scene in front of her reminded her of something unpleasant.
"Maggie."
Raki shook Maggie in her arms and shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Maggie, with her rosy eyes, looked at Ratzy, and she saw the nervous look on her face.
"We'll go out together and find a safe place to settle down, and I need to verify something."
"What's the matter?" Maggie couldn't help but ask.
"I don't need you to care, Maggie, listen, it's just me, and I don't want you involved." Rathi looked at her and said solemnly.
"Aren't we friends?" Hearing Laqi's decisive words, Maggie clenched her little fists and said, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side, Laqi has helped me a lot, and I can't leave Laqi alone." β
Maggie's eyes radiated a thick stubbornness, and Ratchee closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.
Although she always looks simple and cowardly on weekdays, once it is something she recognizes, she will be more serious than anyone else.
She was distressed.
"We didn't see Yavis when we were in the square before, I think he must have appeared somewhere, and with his character, he won't give up this Blood Banner Society."
"You meanβ"
Maggie covered her mouth and glanced at the scene around her in astonishment.
"Yes, that's the worst idea, so I'm going to have to test it now." Ratchet nodded heavily. "So, when you go to verify, something is likely to happen, and I don't want you to be involved, because I don't want to feel guilty about holding you down."
Maggie clutches Rachi's hand tightly, her eyes are motionless as she looks at her, she's proving her resolve with her actions, and she's not going to let go.
"Maggie!" Raki shook her hand, but she didn't shake it off.
"Raghi, I'm not going to let go, I'm going to be with you."
Raki knew that there really was no way out of trouble.
After sighing helplessly, Laqi nodded and said, "If there is danger, you must flee immediately, I will help you, if something happens to you, I think your brother Xia Lan will be even more sad." β
"Hmm."
"Then let's go."
β¦β¦
Dragging Amanta's body into a dense patch of grass, Charan immediately activated her disguise.
He didn't want to leave yet because he had something he wanted to do.
Sneaking back to the complex building, he needs to know the truth of his doubts.
Like a cautious thief in the night, he avoided all eyes and ears, and he was looking for someone.
"Mr. Tirrant, according to our information, the emissary of His Majesty the King has arrived at the gate of the Academy, and there is another bad news to explain to you."
In one of the rooms of the complex, there were only three people in the empty room.
Tirrant, Angelo, the man in the black robe.
And it was the mysterious man who was hiding in the black robe who spoke.
"Bad news?"
Tillant walked around the room, his steps slow and his face calm, as if he was quietly thinking about something.
"Let me guess, is the bad news that His Majesty the King has already dispatched troops?"
"No, but the result is not far off, His Majesty the King did not mobilize the army, he mobilized the Kingdom Guard."
"What?"
Before Tirrant could exit, Angelo, who was beside the black-robed man, suddenly exclaimed.
Kingdom Guard, more precisely the Palace Guard.
Their duty was to protect the safety of His Majesty the King in the palace, and the number was small, more than three or four hundred.
However, these three or four hundred guards have the ability of ten thousand troops, and every soldier elected to become the kingdom guard has at least the strength of a mid-ranking swordsman.
Not to mention how powerful the commanders of the guards are.
Dealing with a riot of academy students used the strongest hole cards in the kingdom, and the news turned out to be indignant, but also confused.
"This is the result of the seizure of the nobles." The black-robed man said in a low voice: "Now there are countless people from the noble family who are flocking to the palace, and everyone is expecting His Majesty the King to give them a satisfactory answer. β
"Hehe-"
Tirrant paused and looked out the window and chuckled, "It seems that the negotiations are halfway through failure." β
"Maybe."
"How many of His Majesty's guards have been sent?"
"Not much, only a hundred."
"Only 100 people...... It seems that His Majesty the King's reply to those noble families was sincere enough. Tillant scoffed slightly.
"Tirrant, what do we do now?" Angelo on the side frowned and asked.
"How?"
Tirrant clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist and said with a cold gaze: "We will see if His Majesty the King and those nobles dare to compromise with us!" Angelo, if the negotiations break down, the most loyal members of the Centralized Society will kill all those nobles! β
As soon as the words overflowing with murderous intent came out, Angelo clenched his fists and nodded with a stern face.
"Crazy? Let His Majesty the King see our madness! β
Tirrant bowed his head and muttered, his words as cold as the blade of a sword.
"Angelo, arrange and prepare to welcome the noble envoy of our king."
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, as soon as the black-robed man spoke, the man disappeared into the room.
The figure that flew out didn't track it far, and the strange aura of the discovery was gone.
"What happened?"
The actions of the black-robed man not only alarmed Tirrant and the others, but also caused the members of the association around him to come up one after another.
"If it weren't for my delusion, our conversation just now would have been heard." The black-robed man said coldly.
"Could it be the King's Majesty?"
"I don't know. It doesn't matter who it is, the result is the same. β
"Is it just as bad?"
Tirrant shook his head.
The bumpy and unknown road has come to an end, and the melodious sound of the flute is heard in my ears.
It was as if the mind was about to slowly fall into darkness and fall into complete sleep.
