Surrounded by the Guards, Dimiteo Greccia approached Lake Rhodes. The crowd offered to make way for him. The young prince was dressed in a light brown swordsman's costume and a golden cloak embroidered with phoenix feathers fluttering in the wind behind him.

On the harbor on the shores of Lake Rhodes.

"Father, mother." Dimi bowed slightly.

"You're late, Dimy." Emperor Dietford III frowned.

"It's only a minute," said Chancellor Friedrich, cheerfully, "don't be too harsh, Your Majesty." ”

The core of the empire is now standing on the docks. Emperor Dietford III, Empress Lygenta, Chancellor Friedrich, Duke Hywell, Princess Bina and her fiancé Cliff, and Victor. Victor no longer needed crutches, but he still looked a little weak. He was followed by Count Hahn, the leader of the Secret Warriors and the leader of the City Guards, and the mysterious Warrior "Hunting Tide", who only obeyed the royal orders.

Of the more than 20,000 spectators in total, only these nine were eligible to watch Victoria and Dimi fight up close "under the lake".

"Why hasn't Victoria arrived yet?" Princess Bina wondered.

Dimi shook his head.

"Father, Prime Minister," he said, "please open the passage." Let's go 'under the lake'. Challengers, should not be challenged too much waiting. ”

The Emperor and the Emperor glanced at each other.

The Prime Minister shook his head and immediately began to cast a spell, opening a plane passage glowing with golden light on the calm surface of the lake.

……

[Here they are. The girl nodded slightly.

[Even my father was amused by you......] Lin Na said, "I like it. 】

[Is this really okay......] Xiaowei's tone was deeply unconvinced.

"Here we go!"

The half-dimensional world "under the lake" has no day and no night. The water occupies 90% of the entire space, and the dim light shines on the calm water day and night.

The girl in a red dress floating on the water stretched out the "Bright World" in her hand. With the girl at the center, the "Bright World" exudes repeated brilliance and illuminates the entire world under the lake.

The eight Arcane Eyes set in the Dimensional World are activated.

On the surface of the lake outside, the scene under the lake is reflected.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The mirror-like surface of the lake reflects the figure of the girl.

A petite and cute red figure holding a parasol stands in the center of the picture, emitting a soft glow like the morning sun. People can clearly see the slightly undulating golden oblique bangs on the girl's beautiful face, the corners of the mouth slightly upturned, and the whole person exudes a transcendent temperament that everything is under control, as if she is a goddess in charge of light.

She flashed a shallow smile at the "camera".

Boom –

After a second's pause, the audience exploded.

The girl's appearance is not beautiful, but the feeling of being both heroic and lovable makes almost everyone feel intoxicated...... Even some of the female audience members fell into a brief state of sluggishness, let alone the men. Exclamations, praises, and shouts resounded in the sky, and even the emperor and others in the corner of the camera became supporting roles.

The girl's carefully planned appearance has been rewarded as expected.

……

On a flying carpet, the leader of the "Secret Alliance" and the leader of the female secret warriors, Luo Ze, who was in charge of the commentary, had to ask the accompanying mages to amplify the volume of the amplification spell.

"Quiet!" She shouted in the loudest voice she could make in her life, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to ......"

The crowd slowly turned off the flames, but it was still a mess. Ninety-eight percent of the audience had never seen the girl in person, and they were excited to share the shock in their hearts with their companions.

Of course, the girl didn't give them a chance to calm down. Slowly putting away the "Bright World", the girl bowed slightly to the emperor, and turned the tip of the umbrella at Dimi.

"You're here, Dimi," her crisp voice echoed in the ears of every audience member, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Behind Dimi, frosty wings suddenly rose. He flew towards the girl.

"Thank you again, Victoria," he said, throwing away his cloak and drawing out the "vault," he said, "and it is my honor to be here to fight you. The young prince descended slowly towards the lake.

Call!

With Dimi as the center, the sparkling surface of the lake suddenly condensed. The falling royal cloak had clearly touched the water, but instead of sinking into the water, it landed on the ice.

Not bad. The vast lake in the half-plane turned into ice at Dimi's thoughts. The clear waters of the lake are gone, replaced by solid, flat ice.

The girl and Dimi fell to the "ground" at the same time. Stepping on the solid ice ground, the two men each held their weapons and looked at each other.

No matter how much Luo Ze turned up the volume this time, he couldn't suppress the cheering and roaring crowd. Compared with Victoria, His Royal Highness Dimi's appearance was equally shocking, not only losing the etiquette of a challenger, but also showing his absolute strength.

“……”

It's better than expected...... The emperor thought to himself. The only thing worth worrying about is that after the appearance that is too stylish, you still have to fight with real knives and guns, if the excitement is not as good as the opening, it will inevitably be a fly in the ointment.

The Emperor glanced behind him.

Queen Ligenta in the form of a beautiful woman snickered.

Duke Hywell touched his chin and looked like he was enjoying it.

Prime Minister Fred stroked his beard with a wry smile.

As for the juniors......

Bina whistled, and when she saw her father turn her head, she hurriedly made a solemn appearance. Victor's face was full of helplessness. Only Cliff clasped his hands to his chest, his face expressionless.

All right. It's good that everybody is happy......

"This is the demeanor of the younger generation of my empire," the Emperor approved, "and the fight is all it takes." Even if you fight with the intent of killing each other, I will protect you at the last moment. Let's go, Dimi, Victoria. ”

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

Twenty-four hours ago.

The construction of the audience stand has ended. At this time, there were only a few sparse figures on the shore of Rhodes Lake, and there was no bustle of the next day.

The girl stared at the deserted lake in a daze.

[So, I just took a nap,] Xiaowei was speechless, [You remember the wrong day? 】

[Please don't say it......] The girl has a big head.

[I beg you too...... Lin Na said "desperately".

[At least you should remember to change into serious clothes!] Xiao Wei didn't know what to say, [just wearing this miscellaneous uniform? 】

If you appear in this black "bandit costume", you will probably become the laughing stock of the entire empire. The most declining appearance in history is also.

[You don't have to worry about this...... I can summon the Aurora armor, at least not in disgrace. The girl said weakly, "Wait a minute. Is that......? 】

Not far away, a handsome young swordsman with short brown hair was also stunned at the lake.

"Dimi!" The girl walked over in surprise, "What are you doing here?" ”

"What......" Dimi scared the girl, "Victoria?! You scared me! ”

"Let me guess," said the girl, with a suspicious face, "you misremember today's day, do you?" ”

Dimi's face flushed.

"I just finished my father's workout the day before yesterday, and I have been meditating and meditating on my own for the past few days, and it is very ...... to get the date wrong Wait," the young prince suddenly reacted, "Victoria, why are you here?" Isn't it possible that you've got the wrong day too? ”

"Look. There's nothing to be ashamed of. The girl cheekily admitted.

“……”

"Since it has come," said the girl happily, and suddenly a plan came to her mind, "then it will be just right." Follow me. ”

"What?"

"Go 'under the lake', 'under the lake'. Tomorrow there will be tens of thousands of spectators, Dimi. You don't want to be ashamed, do you? At the very least, we should have 'rehearsed' our appearance. ”

"Is this really good...... Dimi showed a hesitant expression, but still obediently followed behind the girl. Speaking of which, can Victoria open the dimensional portal? It's by her other mage soul.

"And ......," the girl whispered, "Dimi." This matter is important. Please answer me seriously. Tomorrow's battle, you're going to give it your all, right? ”

"Of course," Dimi said, "I won't release the water." I'll do what I can...... Go and beat you, Victoria. ”

"That's good," the girl nodded, "and if you do my best, I'll do my best to fight back." But...... Dimi, are you interested, don't use the secret instrument later, let's compete first? I will not use the power of the sea of clouds. A real 'joust'. What we have today is time. ”

"I'll be there for as long as you want, Victoria." Dimi said with a smile.
