Chapter 15: The Cursed Blade
At dusk.
Walking in the palatial corridors of the palace, Luo Ze showed a helpless wry smile.
Everything today has had a huge impact on her three views......
Before the crowd arrived, the crowd fled the scene, and further commotion was avoided. But Roze knew that he had witnessed a royal secret that even Dimi, the heir to the throne, had not known before.
On the surface, there are only two legendary powerhouses in the Empire, Emperor Dietford III himself and his loyal prime minister, the dwarf mage Friedrich? Ngore. Luo Ze also already knew that Duke Hewell in the north had also broken through the limits of the blue ocean, but he had been hiding his strength from the public.
Duke Hewell's strength is nothing more than an open secret to Loze and other high-level secret warriors. But, Queen Lichenda is different.
"The queen who 'can't live in the depths' all day long...... No, it's a question mark whether it's really deep enough now. ”
With the temper of the emperor, it is not surprising that even if he ordered to erase his memory about this matter. But His Majesty only "admonished" himself and let himself go.
Think about it too. Queen Lygenta's ...... Wonderful temper, rather than the cursed demon knife and its bright appearance, is more effective as a hole card in the dark. His Majesty the Emperor hid his wife's identity at the beginning, so there must be something unspeakable.
Luo Ze has long regarded himself as the strongest female secret warrior, the pinnacle of female warriors in the whole continent. Empress Lichenda ruthlessly shattered this illusion.
If I go further, Luo Ze can't help but wonder if I can compete with her head-on when I reach that legendary realm.
From the blue ocean advanced to the legendary, it seems to be small, but it blocks the moat of many strong people. There are different theories about the nature of this obstacle, but as a high-level secret warrior of the Blue Ocean, Luo Ze already knows the truth about it. Because of this, she is also well aware of the theoretical possibility that she can break through to the legend.
……
"Sister Luo Ze!" In the distance, the girl's shout sounded.
"Jessica." Roze frowned. For this self-acquainted eldest lady of the Hahn family, Luo Ze has always had nothing to do.
Why can't Jessica learn from her sister? Simple? What a soldier and warrior Hahn is.
"How did you get here?" Rosee asked.
"Victoria asked me to help her get a copy of the minutes," Jessica said, pouting disapprovingly, "those brainless clerks...... If Miss Ben hadn't scolded them, I wouldn't have been able to come back now......"
"I see. She, the 'senator', is indeed entitled to read the minutes of this Imperial Council," Luo Ze knew in his heart, after all, that kind of thing had happened, and it was reasonable that the girl could not come in person, "Is it related to Ocard's recent invasion of the Five Nations Alliance?" ”
"That's right," said Jessica, "His Majesty doesn't seem to show up at all, and the Prime Minister who presided over the meeting has left in a hurry, and the officials are discussing it so loudly that it is difficult to hear it." ”
"Didn't you want to eavesdrop out of curiosity?"
"I'm not so bored! I just happened to hear something of interest! ”
"Forget it." Luo Ze held his forehead, it seems that the court mages have forgotten to strengthen the soundproofing magic on the gate.
"Well," Jessica scratched her head and shoved a thick stack of papers into Rose's hand, "I'm interested, just look at this." ”
"Isn't that what Victoria wants you to take?"
"Because I think today's meeting is so important," Jessica said proudly, "I got a few more copies." I won't ask you for information money, Sister Luo Ze. ”

Meanwhile.
In the dormitory.
Seeing his wife sleep peacefully, Emperor Dietford III breathed a sigh of relief.
Duke Hywell and Chancellor Friedrich stood behind the emperor and did not dare to say anything.
"Fred!" The Emperor said angrily, "You promised me that this would never happen again!" ”
"Calm down, Your Majesty," the dwarf mage Fred said in a rare sip, spitting out a large gray smoke ring, "Licenta she's fine." Linna is fine. Everything was fine. ”
"But ......"
"Fred made it clear when he 'cured' Licenta," said Duke Hywell, "that this is not a real cure, but just the consequences of 'eliminating' the curse, and it is not surprising what side effects it will bring." You agreed, Dieterford. ”
The emperor was stunned.
"We all know Lichenda's personality," said Prime Minister Fred, "and she is reckless, but she is by no means ignorant. The curse on her body is deeper than we understand. Didn't you always believe in her, Your Majesty? That's why we've been able to get to where we are today. ”
Calamity is a cursed blade. When the three of them met, Liqinda and the emperor were a year older than the emperor at the time, but they looked much more immature. Later, with the help of the Prime Minister, the effects of the curse were controlled, and by the time Lichenda and Dietford were married, Lichenda's appearance had regained her chronological age.
However, after giving birth, the curse on Lichenda spirals out of control. Although the Prime Minister's incredible legendary spell has awakened her from her coma, the curse on Kriegenda's body has spiraled out of control.
The curse is suppressed when Lichenda uses her strength to strengthen her body, and she looks like an adult at this point. And when she suppresses her powers, the curse will strike at irregular intervals, causing Ligenta to return to the "child" she was when she signed a contract with Calamity. At this time, although Liqinda was able to activate the secret ritual, her physique would become no different from that of an ordinary child.
Because Ligenta would take on the form of a child from time to time, the dormitory had to keep a stand-in to fool some unexpected visitors (such as an overly filial prince). However, Dimi finally learned the truth......
"All right," the Emperor sighed, "forget it this time. Victoria is very receptive. Lin Na, she has always been arrogant, but she also understands her mother's distress. Luo Ze didn't dare to gossip about the royal family yet. The one I don't worry about is Dimi. ”
"You've already explained it to Dimi. Seriously, you don't have to treat Dimi like a child all the time, Your Majesty," said Prime Minister Fred, the purple-robed gnome floating in the air and taking another puff of his cigarette, "didn't he deliver a blow that would force Lichenda to turn and resist?" He's maturing, Your Majesty. ”
"Fred is right, Your Majesty." Duke Hywell also said.
"Well," the Emperor nodded, "Speaking of which, Fred, do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”
"Nothing," said Prime Minister Fred, as the de-afloat state slowly landed on the red carpet, "and I was thinking of the spring celebration in a month's time." The match between Dimi and Victoria ......"
The three people who were talking didn't notice that Queen Liqinda, who was already "asleep" behind them, suddenly blinked.
