In a two-story building in the center of the district.

The officials of the Pure White City hurried through the corridors with expressions on their faces. The mobilization of manpower, the preparation of supplies, and the pacification of the masses frightened by the horrific declaration of war of the Federation fell on their shoulders. Further cooperation between the Reich and the French powers also urgently needed to work out specific rules.

Before the war officially began, many people had already given birth to dark circles that had stayed up late......

The girl in a plain blue dress watched the staff come and go in the corridor with emotion. With a light brown corset, black stockings, and small brown leather shoes, the girl chose a costume that was common to both Elrios and the Empire today, so much so that some people thought of her as a clerk who had been temporarily brought in to work.

"Bring these documents to the city guards. Thank you ......."

A bespectacled female official didn't even look at the girl, shoved a thick stack of papers into her hand, and then left in a hurry.

The girl couldn't laugh or cry.

"Victoria?"

A young man with short brown hair walked across the corner, and it was Dimi.

When he saw the girl, he showed a look of surprise.

"I've been looking for you for a long time," he said, reassuringly, "where have you been?" ”

Behind the girl, an official with a goatee, hearing Dimi's voice, turned around and saw His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince and the "Bright World", and almost dropped the document bag he was holding to the ground.

I must be busy and confused......

"It's nothing," the girl said vaguely, "I heard the staff here discuss, Your Majesty wants to take you back to the Empire?" ”

"They seem to be worried about my safety, especially Prime Minister Fred," Dimi said, "but in the end, the Emperor agreed to let me go to war." ”

In any case, Dimi was reluctant to leave the girl behind. The young prince would never watch the girl charge at the front and be indifferent. Dietford III really couldn't do anything about him.

"I also have good news," said the girl, "that Linna's body has recovered. ”

"So fast?" A graft of joy appeared on Dimi's face.

"Mr. Palamedes has finished Linna's body. When it comes to reshaping the body, none of the church's best experts can compare to Mr. Palamedes. Anyway, Lin Na was anxious to join the battle, so I let her soul return to her body. The girl said.

"How is she now?" Dimi asked.

"Don't mention, she wanted to come along," the girl sighed, "and it took me a lot of effort to convince her to be safe." Even if the body is exactly the same as before, it will take a while to get used to it before it doesn't have problems. ”

"This is Linna's style......" Dimi was a little embarrassed.

Suddenly—

"Dimi, Victoria!"

A familiar voice rang in the ears of the two of them.

"Prime Minister." Both the girl and Dimi were shocked.

The prime minister actually contacted them directly with the sound transmission?

"I have a simple task for you." The prime minister said.

-------------

An hour later.

The Pure White City Guards are stationed.

Outside Lijie's makeshift cell.

"Why did you call Linna anyway?" Outside the room, Dimi wondered.

"In order to find a suitable reason for us to release people." The girl said.

Lin Na, who had just arrived, had already walked into the room. Several of the guards who had participated in the welcoming ceremony in the morning confused her with her sister Bina, only to be reprimanded by Linna.

……

"Lijie." Lin Na sat down opposite Li Jie with a big grin.

"Princess Linna." Li Jie looked at Lin Na in a red swordsman costume with a complicated expression.

A few months ago, it was Lina who "killed" herself. If it weren't for the "Palm of the Underworld" that saved his soul, he would really be dead now.

"My mother asked me to take her to say hello to you," said Linna, "and thanks to you, I was 'killed' once." We flattened it, didn't we? ”

At this time, the "mother" in Linna's mouth naturally did not refer to Empress Lichenda, but Linna's adoptive mother, Lady Clemens, the wife of Duke Hywell.

Mrs. Clemens is Lizzie's aunt. She married far away from the empire at an early age and escaped the brutal Okad Civil War.

Now in Ocard's Clemens family, only Lijie is left.

"Flattened?" Lijie didn't appreciate it, "You defeated me with dignity." ”

Lijie didn't resent Linna. Both of them are martial artists, not to mention that they are not related by blood, they are real cousins, and they will not be merciful when they meet on the battlefield.

"I used the Secret Rite. To be honest, I'm not reconciled. I won in terms of strength, but I lost the battle as an ordinary fighter. ”

In that battle, Lin Na had the advantage in physical fitness, and Kleine was superior in tricks, forcing Lin Na to launch the Secret Ritual Victory.

"Strength is strength," Lijie said, "and I have nothing to say about losing." ”

"Tell you the truth, the Elrios are going to release you," Lina said, cocking Erlang's legs, "I don't know what they're thinking......

Lin Na paused: "But I'm looking forward to fighting you again." ”

The swordsman princess's eyes were full of war.

The two sides just looked at each other.

"You ......"

"This time, I'm going to defeat you without using the Mystery," Lin Na said, "You bring magic weapons and magic armor, and we'll fight." ”

"You should adjust your body first," Lijie glanced at Lin Na, "What's wrong with your body?" In your current state, you can't even beat the guards outside. ”

"Uh......" Linna was dumbfounded. It's true that she has returned to her body, but I'm afraid she will have to rest for a while before she can regain her peak strength.

"The French power country is not well-intentioned," Li Jie said dryly, "but His Royal Highness Lin Na ......"

Linna swallowed and foamed.

"I'll take your challenge," Lijie said solemnly, "and the French Congress regrets releasing me." I will be waiting for you on the battlefield, Your Highness Princess. This time, there is no caster interference. ”

"Of course." Lin Na said.

After defeating you, the next one is the inexplicable "Eternal Blood...... Lin Na thought to herself.

"I have to thank you," Lijie sighed, "for not acting as a lobbyist for the French powers. ”

"It's useless to say anything here," Linna waved her hand, "and when I defeat you and the Eternal Blood, you'll have time to think about it slowly." ”

"How dare you say it......" Lijie smiled.

……

Outside the room.

"She didn't look suspicious." Dimi said.

The maiden did not speak.

Lin Na really inspired Lijie's fighting spirit. Otherwise, just if the French power releases people, Lijie may not be relieved to leave. Who knows if those mages tracked down their own magic, and then pretended to release themselves, with the real purpose of hiding Melia and "Eternal Blood"?

In that case, if Melia and Eternal Blood join up with Lizzie, it will trap them in the French Powers as well.

And now, with the princess of the empire coming forward to fight Lijie, it is difficult for the French power to be careful.

The girl knew that even if Lijie returned to Ocard, life would not be easy. Why did the French Congress release those who had it? The spies hidden in Okade by the French power will also add fuel to the fire, and there will be no doubt that rumors about Lijie within the Okadian Federation will be flying all over the sky.

Perhaps Nicholas backhanded and directly locked up Lijie on the charge of collaborating with the enemy. In this way, Linna's wish to face Lijie on the battlefield could not be realized......

"Victoria?" Dimi asked suspiciously, and the girl looked preoccupied.

"Nothing." The girl said softly.
