Chapter 411: The Empire Changes
The capital of the Irian Empire, the inner courtyard of the Imperial City.
"The Queen Mother has gone to the front in person?"
Evangeline stood up in surprise and glared at the maid in front of her.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
The maid was not at all frightened by her, and replied calmly.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
As soon as Evangeline learns of the orc invasion, Evangeline rushes to the capital to inform the current Empress of the incident.
It's a pity that before the war, there were very few ministers who believed in this matter, and even if the Empress of Julian wanted to do something, she could only give up because she couldn't get around the nails planted in the upper echelons of the King's Council.
As soon as the war broke out, the court became a place where ministers shirked their responsibilities with each other, and there were few useful proposals.
If it weren't for Sivi's sudden exertion and brutally cut off one of the arms of the orc's attack, I'm afraid that now they would not be discussing who is to blame, but whether to flee or surrender......
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister said that this kind of thing doesn't need His Highness to bother."
The maid replied unhurriedly.
"Even the safety of the queen mother has become a matter of 'no need to bother' in your mouth, and the only thing that can make you worry about this world is how to please the new master of your king's council?"
Evangeline spoke sarcastically without mercy.
The maid did not respond.
Evangeline turned and walked back to the room, and the maid obediently followed.
"Out of the woods." Her Royal Highness Princess Yuan turned her head and looked at the maid coldly.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness the Princess. I have been entrusted with the task of protecting you, Your Excellency. ”
The maid said in a tough tone.
This made Evangeline's mood even worse.
Protection? This red fruit is a prison, right?
So she drew the wand she had with her and pointed it at the maid. The other party's eyes bloomed with strange patterns, making Evangeline feel as if her head had been hit by a hammer when she looked at her, and there was a dull pain that made her almost unable to hold her wand.
“…… Witch? Evangeline looked at the raw maid in shock.
As a professor at Adric's Academy, and is particularly familiar with the history of magic, Evangeline immediately covered her forehead and guessed the identity of the girl.
That spell-like ability just now should be a skill like mental impact.
"I don't want to hurt you, so please be obedient."
The maid did not reveal any other ecology. It's still the same as it was before.
"Who the hell are you? Did the queen mother really go to play the front line? ”
Forcibly let himself still a little muddy spirit concentrate. Evangeline gritted her teeth and asked the maid in front of her, who was like an ordinary shy girl, with her head lowered and her expression unclear.
"I am your lady-in-waiting, and Her Majesty the Empress is indeed on her way to the front."
The maid completely lost the horror of the moment just now. Answered Evangeline's question softly.
After that, what is left between the two people. There is only silence.
Ten p.m. The maid went to the kitchen to bring food to Evangeline. The guards in the princess's room were replaced by two tall golems.
It was in this space that a small, demonized paper crane suddenly floated out of the window into Evangeline's hand.
Open the paper folded into a thousand paper cranes. Only a short sentence was written in it.
"The Imperial City is in danger, leave quickly."
"This is the teacher's handwriting...... Is the teacher still alive! ”
A surge of joy and peace of mind welled up in Evangeline's heart.
After the fall of the Fortress of Lawrense, Lady Sharon's whereabouts have been unknown. A large part of the court believed that the venerable Great Magician had died in the chaos, but Evangeline could not believe it.
Zhilu said that now, she was really relieved.
It's just that the interior of the imperial city is now almost completely controlled by the prime minister and their faction of the king's council, and the few spies planted by the girl when she was still a princess have almost been removed, which makes Evangeline feel powerful for the second time...... The first time I felt this way was when I was in a cube prison.
At this time, the girl couldn't help but think of the academy hundreds of kilometers away. There are a lot of interesting people there, and you can see your students grow every day, although the days are simple but very fulfilling, and from time to time the academy will break out some mysterious magic black technology......
Life there is much better than that of the emperor who has to intrigue at all times, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed by the general trend.
At dusk, the maid of unknown descent finally went back to rest, and the two golems that would not get tired were still guarding the door.
To deal with ordinary people, the golems are indeed enough, and these two are still high-end goods made by the prime minister through the techniques he didn't know where he got them. Not to mention a weak woman like Evangeline, even if she is replaced by ten or eight big men, it is estimated that she will only be beaten in front of the golem.
It's just that, while being a weak woman, Evangeline is also an earth elemental mage.
Even if the wand was confiscated by the witch maid, would there be a shortage of spare magic items on the person who came out of Edric?
It didn't take long for her to dig a tunnel leading to the outer courtyard.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a defensive barrier between the Imperial City and the inner city of the national capital, and if it was not for the fact that there was a defensive barrier between the Imperial City and the inner city of the national capital, if it continued to dig, it might have touched that thing, and Evangeline planned to dig directly outside the city......
However, when the girl secretly came out of the tunnel that was theoretically perfectly disguised by mistletoe, a pillar of light shone on the girl.
It wasn't some harmless magic, it was just a concave mirror that gathered the light scattered by the flash magic into one.
Standing in front of the concave mirror, the girl's original subordinate, Andrew. Tyra (Andrew. Green smiled at the girl who had fallen blind in a short period of time because of the flash.
"It's been a long time, Your Highness, where are you going?"
Andrew ...... Did you betray the royal family? The girl squinted at the figure standing on the wall.
"No, no, no, defecting from one camp to another is called betrayal." Andrew stretched out his long tongue and licked his red lips: "I wasn't from the royal camp from the beginning, just an undercover agent. Your Highness, you yourself should be well aware of this, right? ”
"That's right, Teacher Sharon has already seen through your ugly face." Obviously, both the pillar of light and Andrew's shouts were very conspicuous and harsh, but until now, not even a single person had appeared around. This made the girl's voice involuntarily cold: "And I have found a little clue from a long time ago...... What the hell are you? ”
Andrew's tongue stretched out longer, and if he was only human just now, he was like a frog in human form.
What's even more frightening is that on his soft tongue, there are also white teeth, which stand upside down like a file, which makes people shudder.
No, it's not so much a tongue as a dark purple weird tentacle!
"I am just a man who is determined to resurrect a truly great being, and only Ozarzi can save this decaying world!" Even though most of his mouth was occupied by the purple tentacle, Andrew still spoke clearly and showed a hysterical smile: "As for what kind of creature I am, I will naturally know when you become my kind, my highness......"
As soon as the words fell, several strange-looking monsters appeared around the girl, so terrifying that they were like all the nightmares of human beings.
And among those monsters, the witch maid who followed Evangeline during the day was also there.
This made Evangeline secretly frightened.
Originally, I thought that the Ilian Empire was only controlled by the pro-king parliamentary faction...... But judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the situation is even worse than I imagined.
A group of monsters whose ontology is unknown, and whose existence is terrifying, has actually controlled a kingdom of mankind!
"What are you ...... for" Andrew stopped smiling and stared at Evangeline suspiciously: "Why don't you look a little frightened?" If it's too simple, I'll find it boring. ”
"Guess."
Evangeline looked around at the monsters around her and smiled slightly, and then a green crystal appeared in her hand: "It seems that we can't hear any other useful information, so let's see you next time." ”
"Stop her!" Andrew screamed, but it was still too late.
In the next instant, the girl wrapped in green light disappeared without a trace. (To be continued......)
