Cliff was one of the best young men in Elrios, and he had a very good relationship with Bina, and the emperor accepted it calmly...... Who knew that it turned out to be so.

It's just that no amount of regret can save his beloved daughter.

"Father?" Seeing that her father didn't say a word, Lin Na showed a puzzled look.

"Linna." The Emperor nodded slightly.

He wanted to comfort Linna. However, when his daughter really appeared in front of him, he didn't want to say anything more. What can he say? Linna is not a child anymore. Like Bina, she is a powerful Blue Sky Rank Secret Ritual Warrior who regards dying on the battlefield as the highest honor.

An emperor who cannot protect his subjects cannot be called a qualified emperor. And a father who can't protect his daughter, and can't be called a qualified father, Dietford III thought silently.

"It's me...... No. It was me who was wrong. Dietford III said slowly.

"Father?" Linna's eyes widened. At this moment, the person in front of him was no longer the emperor with infinite majesty, but a father who was sad because he failed to protect his beloved daughter.

Dietford III sighed slightly.

After the death of Dietford's younger brother, Dietmar, Dietford adopted his nephew Dimmy as his adopted son and vowed to train him to be a good emperor.

And today, the Emperor of the Empire, who is also a legendary secret warrior, once again swears in his heart.

For his beloved wife, Queen Lichenda.

Also for the dignity and continuation of the royal family.

You have to keep your children safe...... And protect the country.

Just a few seconds later—

"Linna," said the Emperor, a look of sadness had disappeared from his face, and he had regained the usual majesty of the Emperor, "betrayal of Cliff." Did John say anything? ”

"Ah......" Lin Na was frightened, "No." John was with his fellow disciples, and seemed to be plotting something—"

"If I were for your safety," the Emperor said indifferently, "I ordered you not to come into contact with the Stars of the Stars again, would you agree?" ”

"I won't." Lin Na said categorically. She glanced at her father: his expression didn't change.

As willful as expected, the emperor thought to himself. It's like a mother...... However, this is also to be expected.

"That's right. …… Then, for the sake of your father, respect your choice. I will continue to observe him...... Determine if he can be trusted. ”

"Father!" Linna was pleasantly surprised.

"And," said the Emperor, "take this." He took a rose-red necklace from his bosom and placed it on the ground.

"What is this?" Lin Na looked at the necklace curiously. There was a dark red gem hanging from it.

"This is the magical armor 'Valkyrie,'" said Dietford III, "the legacy of the Empire's ancestral mystical warriors and mages. ”

"This is armor?" Lin Na picked up the necklace and looked at it carefully.

"As long as you wear it, you can make it transform into different armor at will," said Dietford III, "and it will protect you naturally, even if you are attacked." ”

"Change? Unfolding naturally? Lin Na looked at the necklace in her hand in surprise.

Lin Na doesn't usually like to use armor. Wearing a set of heavy armor is a waste of time and very cumbersome. But...... It would be terrible if a piece of armor could freely change between light and heavy armor without the need to put on it! What's more, it can also resist sneak attacks for its owner.

"It's precious." Lin Na said.

"But it's nothing to the Empire," said Dietford III, "and now I give it to you as a talisman." ”

Lin Na looked at the necklace in her hand. This is a treasure that every martial artist dreams of.

"Father. I have a reluctant request. After a while, Lin Na said.

"Oh?" Dietford III looked suspicious.

"I know you've given Victor an important talisman artifact, so can you give Victoria the same magical armor as me," Linna took a deep breath, "I want you to do that." ”

The look of shock on Dietford III's face flickered.

"Why?" He said indifferently, "What if I refuse? ”

"She's our family, Father." Lin Na said.

"I also consider Cliff to be family, Linna," Dietford III sneered, "but he has betrayed our trust. Compared to Cliff...... Miss Douglas is only more suspicious. ”

"Father!" Lin Na said eagerly.

"I have made up my mind," said Dietford III, "and I will make arrangements for those who are loyal...... Alright, you go down. ”

"If you refuse," Lin Na didn't mean to back down, "then I'll transfer my ...... 'Valkyrie' to Victoria." ”

"Linna!" Dietford III roared.

"I may have lost my sister," Lin Na knelt down deeply to her father, "Now that the crisis is lurking, I ...... I really don't want another sister to be in danger. Please. ”

There was silence for a long time. The room was silent, and I could hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground.

"Haha......" Suddenly, Dietford III laughed.

"Father—" Lin Na looked at her father in astonishment.

"I thought," said Dietford III, "that there is only one little fool in this world. Who knows, in just one day, there is one more. ”

"What......"

"Just last night, when I gave Dimi the Talisman...... said Dietford III leisurely, "he also said to me: 'Please give Victoria the same thing.'" If you refuse, I'll give her my own. You and Dimi are not brothers and sisters, but they say exactly the same thing. Haha......"

Lin Na couldn't help but say, "That's because Dimi is ......"

"Don't worry," said Dietford III, "I cannot ignore your requests. In fact...... Just before you, I had secretly given Victoria a talisman suitable for her. I will not put any of you in danger. ”

"Father!" Lin Na was grateful.

"Now that Bina is gone, you and Dimi, as well as Victor and Victoria, you need to unite even more," the Emperor nodded, "Now Dimi and you are both very satisfied with me." Okay, let's go down...... Remember, no matter what happens, make your own safety a priority! At present, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and we must not be brave for a while. ”

"Yes." Lin Na replied. She bowed to her father again and stepped back.

Once again, the Emperor was the only one left in the quiet room.

"Unity......" the emperor muttered.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, a voice familiar to him came from the emperor's head.

"Fred," the Emperor knew it was an urgent summons from Chancellor Friedrich's use of spells, "what's wrong?" ”

"I have discovered the location of Princess Bina," said the Prime Minister solemnly, "in the Far North." ”
