The news of Rafa's assassination caused an uproar in Icefield City, and the crowd screamed for the murderer to be caught and burned to death.

After all, Rafa's good boss who pays the executives, who has food and shelter and rest days is like this, can be regarded as a good family, and if Icefield City has not even started and falls, these workers can only return to their original places to become landless refugees, which is the life they never want.

On the other hand, perhaps Rafa was really good to everyone, so most people's anger towards the murderer was indeed sincere, and they really couldn't understand why anyone would hurt him, His Royal Highness, who could work and eat with the knights and workers, was obviously a wise lord.

On the same day, after Rafa was carried back to the city lord's mansion by a group of people, Kono immediately investigated and purged the entire knights, especially those who had used guns that day.

But the result was very unexpected, he interrogated almost everyone who used the gun, but there was not the slightest clue, as if every knight was extremely loyal to Rafa, and could not find a flaw at all, and even asked where the three gunshots came from at that time, and the knights did not know very well, they could only give an approximate location.

But when Kono went to the room described by the knights, he found that the lock in the room had long since rusted, and he slashed it several times with the knight's sword.

Open the door, and it's full of dust and decayed shields, and even the windows are sealed, and it looks like you can shoot?

"There is more than one traitor in the Order. This was Kono's idea at the time, because only they covered up each other, so they couldn't find the murderer.

Enraged, Kono simply locked up all the knights who had been on the wall that day.

And the knights, who knew that they were not traitors, had a clear conscience, and in order to catch the traitor as soon as possible, they were willing to stay in their cells.

In order to prevent the crowd from storming the camp where the knights were being held, the Order had to send more men to fend off them.

While the Knight of Kono was busy interrogating and blocking the crowd, the news from the City Lord's Mansion that His Highness Rafa was unharmed, as well as Felihill's handwritten order, made everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and the excited crowd began to follow the order of the City Lord's wife and began to restore order in Icefield City.

It's just that the news released by Felihill is just to stabilize people's hearts, she knows that angry crowds are the most easily instigated and instigated, and if they are not properly controlled, Icefield City will be a mess, so she ordered someone to release a fake news.

In fact, it is still unknown whether Rafa will survive.

The murderer's marksmanship was very accurate, Rafa was shot three times in the back of the neck and back of the waist, and it was in a straight line, maybe he wanted to leave him a whole corpse, so he didn't shoot his head on the spot, but this also happened to leave Rafa with a chance to live.

The most serious wound on Rafa's body was the broken artery in his neck, not only the cervical vertebrae, but also the artery completely broken, and when Felihill and Audair ran frantically down the wall, the ground had accumulated into a small pool of blood, and his face was buried in the pool of blood.

When they held on to his wound and carried him back to the City Lord's Mansion, the two girls could feel that the body temperature on Rafa's body was almost cold, and there was not much blood coming out of the wound they were holding.

When Shirley entered, they let go of their blood-stained hands and noticed that their hands were shaking.

Felihill no longer had her usual indifference, her face was pale when she had accidentally stained with blood, and her eyes were full of regret and self-blame, but more of it was anger, because she could deduce some traces of the murderer, which had some connection with the surname she had abandoned.

Audrey's eyes were red and she stared at Rafa, who looked lifeless, and she didn't dare to speak, not only so as not to disturb Shirley, but also to keep everyone from hearing her cry.

In fact, everyone knows how much she blames herself as a guardian knight.

Except for Shirley, who exclaimed at the first sight of the injured Rafa, the witches surrounded Rafa in the middle, and everyone did not say a word.

This scene is very similar to the scene in Rafa's dream.

"Stinky, have you had enough!"

After going through an unknown number of reincarnations, Rafa finally understood why cursing others to hell was such a vicious statement.

The infinite reincarnation of dreams, the infinite repetition of pain, and all kinds of miserable deaths that he was now in were almost like real hell.

Covered in blood, "Felihill" showed the familiar and fanatical expression of Rafa, and then grabbed him by the collar and began to laugh uncontrollably.

"Heheheheha~~~"

Maybe only in this weird dream can you see such a scene that you can't see in reality for a lifetime.

Felihill's unbridled laughter nearly deafened Rafa.

He couldn't believe that the dignified and beautiful Felicille could make such a laugh, as if a person said that he could lift himself up, completely contrary to and subverted common sense.

The next moment, her strange laughter came to an abrupt end, and she looked at Rafa with her somewhat mad eyes.

"How do you want to die this time?"

Her voice became the accent of two people, very harsh.

"I want to ......," the feeble Rafajan smiled and showed his white teeth stained with blood, "I want to be kissed to death by you." ”

In fact, the mad Felihill doesn't listen to him at all, she's like a not-so-intelligent puppet with very limited answers and understanding.

Apparently, the person controlling his dreams was gone, leaving only the repetition of light and darkness, and the somewhat broken puppet.

"Die!"

Felihill's hand stabbed into his chest, blood running down her arm.

But she didn't hurry to pull her hands out, and some of the cold hands stayed in his body as if they were grasping something.

"Ahem...... I'm here to warm your hands. Coughing up a mouthful of blood weakly, Rafa could feel a chill in his chest in sharp pain.

"Snort"

As blood splattered, the world around them returned to darkness.

He silently opened his eyes and knew that the next reincarnation had begun again.

"Fili, a pretty lady can't do such a dirty thing. ”

Only in this illusory world can Rafa pour out his feelings, even if the Fili is not real, he can feel the special feeling of catharsis.

It's a very contradictory feeling, sometimes he wants to scold her, and sometimes he can't help but say something intimate.

Of course, he himself knew very well that good words were for the real Felihill, and bad words were for the witches who controlled his dreams.

Seeing the target, Felihill walked over and raised his sword.

Falling under the sword again, Rafa felt very happy, unlike the dozens of previous reincarnations, Felihill had been cutting off his legs and grandchildren, torturing him to the point that life was worse than death.

"This damn reincarnation...... How long is it going to be repeated?"

Lying in a pool of blood again, he had a trace of fear like never before.

"Syphus, how did I make your new school?"

Since Rafa is still in a coma, the affairs of Icefield City have to fall on Philicon's head, although she doesn't like to deal with these trivial matters, but there is no way, even if Rafa is fine, she has to learn how to manage a city, because she is also half the master of Icefield City, maybe in the future, she will make more territory half of the master, it doesn't matter if she learns more.

"Your Highness, except for the new textbook you have not yet printed, the school has been open for three days as normal, and as for the admission criteria you mentioned, I have carefully investigated and found that all the children have already enrolled in school, except for those who are not yet able to enter school. Looking at Phililihir in the throne, Seapheus called out the somewhat awkward title.

Because Felicille was the consort of the crown prince, she was originally titled "Your Highness", but because she didn't want to admit that she was too close to the royal family, she didn't let people call her that.

However, since Rafa was not there, she had to take his place on the stage, and she had to regain the title she didn't like very much, to express her status as a member of the royal family.

"Very good, now those parents will not worry that they will not have time to take care of their children, they will all be sent to the school, free food and can learn to read and write...... By the way, the academy has just started, I wonder if the knights I arranged can handle it?" "Because most of the knights of the Knights are educated, and they are also one of the few literate people in Icefield City, the work of teaching and educating people can only be entrusted to them.

"Your Highness, it's true that there are some understaff, but Knight Cole and Miss Katya told me that they will bring some people over tomorrow to help, so there should be no problem. Seapheus glanced at Cole across the table.

"Cole ......" looked at Cole, who had led the caravan back unscathed, and Felihill knew that Rafa had not seen the wrong man.

"The subordinates are here. Cole bowed slightly, although the person in charge was the hostess now, he would never question her ability.

"You ......," Felihill paused slightly.

Everyone looked at her, curiously awaiting her question, for Felihill would never beat around the bush, as everyone recognized.

So she was going to stop talking now, which suddenly surprised everyone.

"Your Highness, please speak. Cole didn't understand what she was trying to ask.

"Do you really like Katya?" After holding back for a long time, Felihill finally asked, although this matter may not be related to today's meeting, but she still couldn't help it.

"Uh...... Huh?" Cole thought she would ask about the caravan, but she didn't expect her to ask a personal question about him, and he was a little confused.

"Ahem, when Your Highness asks you, you say, what are you doing grinding and chirping?"

His father, Kono, is also quite worried about his son's life, according to the laws of Aura, knights can get married, but in this remote icefield city, walking around the streets, there are either married women or old aunts, and the rest are yellow-haired girls, and it is difficult to find the girl to be married.

Originally, Kono didn't have any hope for his son's daughter-in-law, as long as it was a living woman, but he didn't expect that this guy Cole really had him, and he actually hooked up with a female official who worked for His Royal Highness Philicille in the City Lord's Mansion, which was terrible, he had seen the girl, although he didn't like to talk very much, but he could see at a glance that the child had the shadow of a nobleman.

Although His Royal Highness Rafa once said that he would put down the aristocrat's shelf, and Kono himself agreed with this point of view, but in the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that Cole could find a good match, not extravagant and noble, but at least a noble girl.

Katya is completely in line with his standards for his daughter-in-law, and even exceeds a lot, although Katya does not recognize her as a nobleman, but the aristocracy's upbringing and bearing cannot be concealed, so when Cole returned to Icefield City, he urged Cole to make a statement as soon as possible, and now that he was asked by Felihill, he couldn't help but be a little excited, thinking that Felihill intended to match the two of them.

"This ...... Your Highness, did Katya ask you that?" Cole did not answer, but asked Felicille.

"Stinky boy, you ......"

Felihill stopped Kono, "No, I wanted to ask. ”

"Well, my answer is...... I don't know. Cole replied truthfully.

"Don't know, why don't you know?" asked Felihill, confused.

“...... I don't know how to describe that feeling......" Cole lowered his gaze to the table, then suddenly raised his head again, his eyes full of light, "I've never been in love, so I don't know if it's a liking, anyway...... I really want to be close to her, not even to get her heart, I just want to stay with her a little longer, to do more with her...... That's why I proposed to go with her to the academy to help......"

When they saw that Cole, who had always been able to do things, even stuttered, many people smiled silently.

Especially his father Conow, who showed a smile of "coming over", said silently in his heart, "Silly boy, this is what it feels like to like someone." ”

Perhaps because the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, even Felihill, who has never experienced this, saw the clue, "This is the ...... Do you like it?"

Without speaking, she remembered how Rafa had come to her territory in three days while she was still awake, and she couldn't help but think, "Is Rafa thinking the same way?"

"Well, how long are you going to sleep?" sighed silently in her heart, and she came back to her senses.

"I see...... Remember, no matter what happens, don't make Katya sad. ”

"I will!" Cole nodded heavily.

She said she understood, but she didn't understand at all, and when she thought back to herself, she could indeed feel Rafa's kindness, but she really didn't know what kind of response she should make, whether she should smile at him or what?

She had never laughed, she couldn't even imagine what it was like to laugh, let alone smile at Rafa.

Reining her thoughts again, Phililisil turned her gaze to Curnow.

"Knight Kono, do you have any clues about the assassins?"

When it came to the assassin, Kono was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, I have interrogated everyone who has used a gun extremely closely, but there is no clue at all. ”

"Yes...... Felihill frowned slightly, "In that case, let the knights go, the murderer should not be among the knights." ”

"Your Highness, why don't I step up the interrogation again?"

"No, there is no point in doing so, and continuing the trial will hurt the morale of the Order. "Felihill knows that there is probably more than one killer in Jarvis, as early as the first time he came to Icefield City, Rafa quietly resolved a crisis, and that crisis was also blamed on the witch, but it is speculated that the killer should not be a witch, and the appearance of the flame witch is probably just a coincidence.

"Yes. ”

"When you go back, you can arrange for knights who have never touched a gun to train, remember to control the guns, except for the sentry and patrol teams can use the guns, and put the guns away at other times. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

"Siphus, this time Cole and Layla have brought back more than two hundred people, and the gunpowder factory can start preparations, right?" After asking Curnow, Felihill asked Siphus again.

"Your Highness, I have read the list of materials you gave, if you really want to start construction, you need to allocate a part of the manpower in the iron ore cave to excavate saltpeter, and saltpeter needs to be further dry distilled, but the glassware we use to dry distill saltpeter is somewhat insufficient......"

"Don't worry, I'll prepare these things, you start preparing first, pay attention to the location when planning the location away from the residential area...... I don't need to say why, do I?"

"The subordinates understand. Sieverus replied respectfully, needless to say, he would be careful, the last experimental explosion outside the city had scared him a lot, and if something happened to the gunpowder workshop, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I had to supervise the gunpowder factory myself. Seapheus said silently in his heart.

"Barrow, I've had the tool table carried to the ironsmith for two days, how are the bullets I asked you to make?"

"Your Highness, the new tool table you got is indeed a lot easier to use, but the bullets are too complicated, so even if more than fifty people are divided into the division of labor to make bullets, the output of a day is only about thirty or forty, and due to the shortage of gunpowder, many bullets have not yet been charged. ”

"Although the production is low, it is better than nothing, and the uncharged ones are left like this, and the gunpowder factory will be loaded again. ”

"Yes. ”

Felihill then asked Kaido and Andrew about the walls and mines.

Due to the impact of Rafah's assassination, the mine had to send more men to build the city walls, so the mine produced much less coal.

The construction of the walls was paused for only a few days, and then began to proceed steadily.

The project, which was expected to be completed in just 10 days with the power of Allure, has been under various circumstances, but by now, a full month has passed, and the walls are only half completed.

There was also a suggestion that some people from other departments in the city should be drawn to speed up the construction of the wall, but Felihill vetoed it, because it was all arranged by Rafa, and she didn't want to make too many changes.

After dealing with these trivial things that had to be arranged, she dragged her slightly tired body to the backyard.

Instead of going to the lab, she went to the place where Rafa was sleeping, which was also part of her recent life.

Walking into the warm room, in the dim candlelight, the pale Rafa was lying on the bed, and the haggard Audel was lying asleep beside his bed.

Since Rafa's assassination, in addition to the convenience of going out, Audair has stayed by Rafa's side almost every inch, even eating and living here, just to make up for her guilt, and at the same time she is also looking forward to the next moment he will wake up and call her name.

In order not to wake Audrey, Felihill made her way to the window lightly and lifted the quilt slightly, revealing Rafa's naked body underneath.

"I don't know why you're so strong without eating or drinking. ”

Seeing that the wound on his neck had fully healed, Felihill put a somewhat cold hand on his chest to feel the beating heart.

Rafa had been lying in bed for more than twenty days without eating or drinking, and at first everyone was still a little worried, and forcibly fed him some hot porridge, but he couldn't feed it, and just when Felihill was about to feed him with his mouth, Shirley said that Rafa's body was very strong, even strong enough to go without eating for a long time, and they were relieved.

And now seeing his angular and strong body completely dispelled Felihill's doubts.

"Well, wake up quickly, and don't throw all these trifles at me...... You missed this month's prom......"

Putting the quilt back on him, Felihill sat down gently in the chair she had prepared for her, opened the book, and muttered to herself.
