Chapter 138, Clear (Ask for Subscription ~ !!)
After getting a satisfactory loan, she accepted the invitation of the person in charge of the iron vault to finish dinner, and if it wasn't too late, Maria would even take the money and buy the necessary food, weapons and other supplies in Braavos, and then return to Westeros immediately.
Of course, the Iron Vault, as the largest consortium in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, needs to buy something, tell the person in charge, and there will be a lot of goods for Maria to choose from.
Borrowing and spending, service one-stop!
In one day, the things that several people had to do on this trip were basically completed.
If there's anything left unresolved... That's the marriage contract between Heinrikai and Arthur, and the soap-making method used as collateral.
In fact, as the imperial concubine, as the mother of Crown Prince Lane, Maria has very complicated thoughts about Arthur in her heart.
I know that the black-eyed boy has no ambition to be the emperor, but he is very capable!
With extraordinary strength, he can fight against a hundred, he has extraordinary knowledge and intelligence, and he can also invent things to create profits!
Even the Iron Vault, far across the Narrow Sea, is eager to cooperate!
If Ryan hadn't been born to Arthur first, the first succession wouldn't have even fallen to him.
With the support of military families such as the Arnold family, the princess knew that her two sons who had turned from illegitimate sons to regular sons could not even compete with Stannis......
Analyze based on available information.
The Prince of Dragonstone Island led his troops to rebel and let the red-robed woman use blood magic to kill her relatives, and she should have been sentenced to death!
But now, neither Emperor Robert nor Prime Minister Ed Ed have been able to settle his guilt, but have only sent him north to guard the Great Wall, saying that he will survive the Strange Ghost Crisis and then be re-tried.
Rebellion and killing relatives is such a big crime, but Stannis was allowed to so-called "settle accounts after the autumn" because of the many Dragonstone nobles and Red God believers who supported him.
As a mother, Maria's heart is broken for her son's future throne.
But fortunately, Arthur is now supporting Ryan's succession, and when he goes back to facilitate his marriage to Heinlikai, those nobles who are still waiting will definitely not take refuge in him.
Thinking about it, after a busy day, the tired princess returned to her hotel room and prepared to fall asleep.
"Tuk Tuk~"
The bright moon hung high outside the window, and the surroundings were quiet because of the deep night, and the imperial concubine, who had only let the little maid go out after taking a bath under Vanessa's waiting, frowned when she heard the knock on the door, and she didn't know who was looking for her so late.
"Did you send it for supper?"
Anne will do swordsmanship exercises every day, and it has become her habit to take a break after exercising, and then take a bath and eat supper.
However, after taking a shower, she waited a little impatiently in the room, and was about to go downstairs to inquire, when Anne saw the maiden waitress of the hotel knocking on the door of the room where the imperial concubine was with food: "I called the supper, and it was sent to me." ”
Maria had opened the door and was seeing the strange maiden waitress in front of her.
As a knight, responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial concubine, Anne would not let down her vigilance, and screamed, but the maiden waitress with the food did not look at it, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Princess, be careful!" Anne, sensing that something was going wrong, rushed over, but the girl had already discarded the plate and pulled out a dagger with a sharp blue blade.
Born into a military family, able to become Robert's lover*|wife, often accompanied the big fat man to hunting, and also went to the dangerous Dothrak Sea, Maria is not a weak woman who is helpless.
The door was pushed slam shut by her, just to block the waitress who wanted to stab her with a dagger.
As the female Assassin's arm got caught in the door, Anne rushed to the ground and threw a punch that struck her in the back of the head and knocked her unconscious.
"Imperial Princess, are you alright?"
Maria looked at the fallen waitress and shook her head with palpitations: "It's okay, by the way, where are the guards?"
Heinlikai, who was in the same room with Anne, came out with a sword at this time, handed it to Anne and said, "You protect the princess, and I will gather the guards to come over." ”
Anne nodded, "Be careful." ”
Hearing the movement here, there was no need to find Heinlikai, and the knight who was responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial concubine also ran over nervously at this time.
Heinrikai immediately noticed that the number was wrong: "There are three people missing." ”
One of the guards said: "It's the captain, he is responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial concubine during this time." ”
"I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, the others will go with me to check the hotel, first find the missing guards, leave half of them to protect the princess, and then let the innkeeper come to see me, and also send someone to inform the iron vault that we have been assassinated!"
With Heinri's order, everyone immediately moved.
However, the girl went downstairs with the talent, and immediately a warning arose in her heart and she sensed danger.
From behind!
The swordsmanship is not superb enough, but she will not be weak as a knight.
Raised his sword and turned around, and the cold sword of the rear guard blocked it dangerously!
"How dare you betray us?"
They are all people trusted by Ryan and the Arnold family, and it stands to reason that they cannot betray, but seeing their familiar companions attacking Heinrikai, the knights immediately swung their swords in anger.
But a few people waved their long swords, and someone around them betrayed, and the dagger was sent into the stomach of a knight, and then the long sword was blocked, saving the traitor who fell into the siege.
"Damn!" As the two traitors burst out to kill, their strong swordsmanship, several knights were no match at all, and most of them fell in three or two strokes.
Hein Likai is not good at swordsmanship, so she can only retreat in embarrassment.
At the same time, Anne, who was on guard outside Princess Maria's room, was suddenly betrayed by her companions!
The blade of the sword flickered in the candlelight.
The light and shadow on the aisle suddenly appeared, blood splattered, and the battle suddenly began.
The swordsman was caught off guard and slashed in the shoulder by a murderous knight, but she still killed a traitor and surrounded her with three angry guards who had been wounded by the attack.
"Moon, why did you betray us? Karl you are your brother, you killed him ruthlessly! You are still not human?!"
Listening to the angry questions of the guards, the betrayal knight named Moon was still expressionless, and he did not have the slightest intention of answering, and his eyes were extremely cold when he looked at them.
At this time, Anne remembered the mysterious assassin that Arthur had mentioned: "You are the Faceless?!"
Hearing this, Moon finally had a trace of emotion on his face, but he still didn't speak.
The other guards knew that he was not the knight, but the rumored guise of a terrible assassin!
But it's useless to know, the strength of this nameless man is too strong, several guards are side by side, and the cold sword light flashes, but they all fall!
"Annie!" With a sword, Hainlikai couldn't kill the traitor, but she carried a small crossbow with her, which could kill them with one blow within three meters, and cooperated with the guards to quickly get them to run back.
However, the three guards around her were all wounded, and the little crossbow did not have crossbow arrows, so she rushed forward with the people, and in the blink of an eye, she was killed by two people, and she was really not sure how to deal with the assassin who looked like a traitor, but was actually a faceless one.
Anne gritted her teeth: "Let's drag him, you go back to the room to get the bow and arrow!"
"Come now!"
Behind the door, Maria listened nervously to the movement outside with a crossbow, a few sounds of gold and iron, and then remembered the sword with a sharp weapon into her body, and then the guard in armor fell to the ground.
A swift Hine Rikai came out of the room with a bow and crossbow, and raised her hand to shoot an arrow at the Faceless One.
But hearing the vibration of the bowstring, the Faceless One calmly swung his sword, immediately cutting off the arrow, and then abandoned Anne, who had been on several swords, and rushed towards Heinrikai, who had released his longbow and lifted the crossbow arrow.
"Don't try to hurt Heinri, Kay!" Anne hurriedly swung her sword and chased after her.
Having fought together many times, she knew how easily she could be injured in the narrow corridors, and she also discussed how to deal with the enemy in such situations.
Calmly firing the bolt at the Assassin, whether or not he had made a move, Hainrikay immediately turned and ran, handing her back to Anne.
"Give me death!"
Together, the Faceless did not chase after Hainlikai, and Anne finally injured the killer and severed the tendon in his right leg.
The rapier turned again, slashing his back and arms so hard that he almost pierced his heart with a single sword.
Hearing that the footsteps stopped, and knowing that Anne was dragging the Faceless One, Hein Rikai immediately turned back with her bow and quickly released the sharp arrows in the quiver.
"Puff~"
The sharp feathered arrow hit the faceless man's back, originally aiming at the vital point, but he didn't expect this guy to have long eyes in the back of his head, and he cleverly dodged it.
Anne was desperately wounded, dragging him to the death, and seeing that he was in a bitter battle, the Faceless One slammed open the door next to him, and jumped out of the window to escape without knowing what he wanted, and disappeared into the night.
Looking at Anne, who was covered in blood and had received more than ten swords, Hain Likai hurriedly helped her and asked the princess to open the door: "It's not safe here, let's leave immediately!"
"Okay, shall we go back to the ship?" the knight and the squire died, and Maria did not dare to stay at the hotel for a moment, so she immediately took her things and left.
Hainrikai: "No, let's go to the Iron Vault!"
