Chapter 9: Queen Lori's Clever Plan
Inside the Imperial Palace.
"You're here, old friend." The emperor hugged the red-robed man in front of him.
"Your Majesty." The red-robed man with a sword, the Duke of Yangyan City, Haywell, bowed his head slightly to show his respect for the emperor. The purple-robed dwarf Prime Minister Friedrich floated to the side.
The three of them walked side by side (the gnomes were levitating) in the corridors of the palace. Duke Hywell had come for his adopted daughter, Linna. For Linna, Duke Hywell's adoptive father was far closer than the Emperor's biological father.
…… During the battle on the Okad border, Linna's body was destroyed, but fortunately, her soul survived. It's much easier to reshape the body of an Esoteric warrior than it is to reshape the body of a mage, but at least after a month or two. How to comfort this little girl who can't be separated has become a problem for several parents.
"Let's go meet Lichenda first. Linna's soul has been with her all this time......" The three of them talked as they walked.
Approaching the dormitory where Queen Liqinda was recuperating.
"Hey, Hywell," the dwarf mage frowned suddenly, "it's a little strange." ”
"Even if it's a place to recuperate, it's too quiet," Duke Hewell's face changed, "and I can't even hear the voices of the guards and servants." ”
"Isn't it—broken!"
As if realizing something, Emperor Dietford III ran wildly, and the three of them rushed into the palace in a few dodges. As expected, the servants and guards lay on the ground. Tearing open the bedroom door, Ligenta was nowhere to be seen.
The prime minister and the duke waited for the emperor to go crazy. From the injuries of the servants and guards alone, the three of them could deduce who did it......
And His Majesty the Emperor's next line - because similar situations have happened too many times, the prime minister and the duke will almost memorize them......
The dwarf let out a long sigh and moved his fingers to erect an invisible soundproof barrier.
"Damn it!" Dietford's angry roar echoed for a long time, "Slipped her again!" Hywell, Fred! Let's go get her back right away! ”
……
Lichenda didn't believe Dieterford's nonsense of "speaking to Linna's soul". Without the body, the soul cannot perceive the outside world. Even if it's a temporary body, you have to find a temporary body for Linna's soul to stay, Liqinda thought.
Originally, Lichenda's own body was very strong. Kriegenda didn't know if Linna would be affected by her secret weapon, Calamity, so she didn't dare to use her body.
The most suitable body for Lin Na is her twin sister's Bina.
However, every time Bina came to visit her, she was always accompanied by Emperor Dietford and Dimi.
In that case, I was the only one who went to find her...... Ligenta said to herself.
Going out as Queen Lichenda would cause a commotion. Thankfully, she still had a hand.
"As long as you stay in the state of the curse, it will be like this...... Except for Dietford, even Dimi didn't recognize who I was. ”
Putting on her good clothes, Lichenda walked slowly down the street.
…… No time can be wasted.
Bina, I guess it's a training camp in the suburbs. She was training soldiers for her friend, that "Bright World". It's none of my business.
Lichenda headed there.
……
…… Miscalculated.
"Whew."
Ligenta leaned against a small tree to breathe.
I really didn't expect it. Without relying on "calamity", relying on the body of a child alone, he is so weak ......!
After only walking so much, I am tired like this!
Only a short rest. Lichenda had prepared a little bread beforehand, which came in handy.
There are guards at the entrance to the training camp, and it is not possible to pass through there. The courtyard wall is also very high, but if you climb this tree, you should be able to climb over it, Liqinda thought.
She should now have the physical strength of an ordinary fourteen-year-old girl. Eat and drink enough, and climb a tree should be no problem.
--------------------------
The girl and Dimi walk in the training camp.
The topic of the two fell on the restless habits of the imperial family.
"How many times have I said that, Dimi," said the girl, angrily, "you have memorized it for me." You can't be impulsive. ”
"But ......," Dimi wanted to say. The girl leaned a little closer as she spoke, which made him blush a little.
"Lin Na lost her body to help me," said the girl, "You were also in danger at the time, and Her Highness Bina was robbed by the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night' before. You've got to come up with ......."
"It's us who underestimated the enemy, Victoria," Dimi sighed, "it's not the royal tradition that has happened—wait. Victoria, there seems to be someone in the tree over there! ”
"That's right...... It's a girl! The two men with "perfect bodies" had the same eyesight and hearing as each other, and they ran towards the outer wall in unison.
It was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. With light wheat hair, a beige dress, white cotton socks and sandals, and a beautiful face, he was riding on the treetops, slowly moving towards the courtyard wall.
There was still a little crumb of bread in the corner of her mouth.
"Danger!"
……
Hearing a familiar voice, Lichenda looked up. That's Dimi. Dimi was standing next to a blonde girl, looking at me with a panicked look on her face.
No, judging by his expression, he shouldn't have recognized me! Lichenda made a quick judgment.
Well, if he notices, I'll say I'm a distant relative of Empress Lichenda. Dietford will help me lie.
Wait a minute. Girl?
Dietford said it before......
Damn, I don't remember exactly, Lichenda scratched her head.
There are so many messages he told himself, he can't remember them all......
What's more, who knows if he is making things up to make himself happy!
It's better to get closer and look at it.
Lichenda sped up and moved towards the girl and Dimi.
……
"Danger!" The girl yelled, "Come down! ”
But the girl didn't hear it. As she quickened forward, the branches of the dwarf tree let out a painful wail.
Unlike Goth and Levy, who were wary of the eavesdroppers around them, the chattering girl and Dimi did not notice anything unusual about Lichenda.
"I can't hold it!" Dimi said anxiously, "Jump! Victoria, pick up ......"
He was not needed to command at all. The moment the branch broke, the girl jumped with all her strength and jumped directly over the courtyard wall.
"Ah......h
She landed impartially in the girl's arms, as accurately as if she had been rehearsed in advance. The girl was forced by the force of the impact to take two steps back and catch her steadily.
"It's okay......" Dimi held his forehead.
"What the hell are you doing...... the girl put the strange girl down, "If you're not the kind of girl who practices martial arts, don't learn how to climb trees!" If we weren'...... there"
"Got it." The girl said. But her expression showed no remorse.
"Dimi, you say two things about her," said the girl, "Dimi? ”
Dimi looked rather distressed. He always felt that he had seen this girl somewhere, or that this girl was very similar to someone, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Dimi!" The girl was furious.
"Ahh Dimi suddenly "woke up" and "I'm sorry." Victoria, I always wonder where this kid is......"
"It's Dimi!" Little Lori said.
"Scare?" Dimi's brain crashed.
"I heard Aunt Lichenda talk about you." Little Lori said.
"Aunt Liqinda, do you mean Queen Liqinda?" The girl asked suspiciously, "Are you Lin Na's mother's family?" Dimi, have you seen it? ”
"No," Dimi folded his brow in his hands over his chest, "I haven't seen it." However, she did ...... with her mother Kind of. He had never seen his mother's "mother's family", but for a moment he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"That's it," said the girl, "this little sister, this is a barracks, and you can't trespass." If you want to visit, at least tell you Brother Dimi or Sister Bina, can you understand? ”
"Got it," the girl's voice was crisp, "may I ask ......."
"Just call me Sister Victoria," the girl said, suddenly turning her gaze to Dimi, who was on the side, "Dimi? ”
"In-how......?"
"Lend me the cloak. In the winter, you can bear to let the little girl dress like this and stand in the cold wind. ”
Dimi paused for a moment and quickly took off his cloak. His cloak was emblazoned with royal crests, but he didn't care about it.
"Really!" The girl muttered while helping little Lori put on her cloak, "Which parent is this, and I don't like the child well...... ...... will catch a cold Socks dirty like this? How far have you run......"
"But, Victoria," the little Lori scratched her head, wrapping her royal cloak around her body, "you're dressed like me." ”
"I'm going to call my sister!" The girl said, "Sister, I'm different!" Sister, you and I are both secret warriors, and we are not afraid of such weather. But you get a cold like that, you know? ”
Little Lori nodded, but there was no remorse in her eyes.
The girl turned to Dimi: "We asked the soldiers to find her parents?" ”
"Don't want to," little Lori interjected, "people live in the palace." It's too stuffy in the city, Victoria, Dimi, can you take me around the barracks? ”
"If you want to call brother and sister—forget it......" The girl showed a look of abandonment. Let her be.
"Why haven't I heard of the queen mother's ......?" Dimi is still meditating.
"Leave it alone," said the maiden, "let us go, and take the boy around." ”
……
Lichenda breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally fooled them. But Dimi wasn't Dietford's stupid asss and, Lichenda thought, would be discovered sooner or later. We must hurry......
No.
Lichenda thought of another possibility. Linna's soul may not have to be sent to her sister.
Isn't there another good object in front of you?
Ditford said that Victoria had two different consciousnesses. If you give her Linna's soul, you can save a lot of trouble with explanation.
Stuffing three consciousnesses into the body may result in less time for each consciousness to dominate the body, but Victoria should have the secret ritual of "perfect body". Her body doesn't rely much on sleep to regain her strength, and Linna doesn't have as little time as it seems.
Dimi seemed to be very close to Victoria. But he and Dietford couldn't have been watching him all the time. With Linna here, it just happens to be ......
It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone!
Well. Just let yourself observe and observe.
