Chapter 33: Coercion and Inducement
…
"Are you awake?"
Angelina opened her eyes and sat up from the stone bed, where she was in a completely enclosed stone room, a silver-haired little girl was sitting on a chair next to the bed with a large book flipping through it, it seemed that it was the little girl who was asking questions just now.
"You are—" Angelina was a little confused,
"I'm the master here, and if you trespass on my territory, my men will arrest you." Lilian closed the book and looked up.
"Master? This hole? Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you. Angelina was stunned for a moment and said apologetically.
After a few lines of dialogue, she finally remembered what she had experienced before she fell into a coma.
If she remembers correctly, she rushed into a long underground passage and was frightened by an unknown 'ghost', but she was still a little curious about the owner of the tunnel.
This little girl, who looks like she is ten years old at most, is actually the owner of this strange authenticity?
"You've slept all day, if you feel better, you can eat something first."
Lilian didn't care about Angelina's behavior of calling her magic city a cave, and instead handed Angelina some food on the small table.
"Ahh Thank you so much! Angelina immediately thanked her, but before her hand reached the plate, she suddenly remembered her mission! She quickly reached out and groped around her body, but she didn't find the help document hidden in her arms.
"Are you looking for it?" Lillian pulled out a piece of parchment with a delicate pattern and shook it at Angelina.
"Give it back!"
Angelina reached out to grab the paperwork, but Lillian shook her arm and dodged it.
"Miss Princess, please find out the situation. Now, you are my captive, and everything you have is my possession—including this instrument. Lillian stood up from her chair and smiled at Angelina, shadowy wings emerging from behind her.
"Introduce yourself, my name is Lillian, and I'm a demon."
The coercion suddenly acted on Angelina, overwhelming her, and a great fear from her soul erupted from her heart. The next moment she thought she was about to be killed by Lillian, the coercion disappeared in an instant, and the wings behind Lillian's back slowly faded into the void.
"Whew... Whew..."
Angelina gasped violently, as if she hadn't recovered from her fear. Lillian gave her a faint look and sat back in her chair with her book in her arms.
"The reason why I didn't hurt you was to establish a cooperative relationship with you, I..."
"Don't think!" Angelina interrupted Lilian's words, and she said firmly with a straight face and frowns,
"Fell will come to my rescue, if you don't want to be trampled by the Imperial army, you'd better let me go!"
"Holes? Hehe, I'm really sorry that my hometown is underground..."Lilian rolled her eyes and said disdainfully:
"Let's not talk about whether those armies can find here, even if they do, if they don't have the right guidance, coming to my magic city is just sending souls. Moreover... Will the Phil you are talking about really come to your rescue? It's ridiculous that you actually pinned your hopes of survival on a murderer who killed his father. ”
"What do you mean?" Angelina said suspiciously.
"What do you mean, isn't it true that Fell and his father helped the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory kill the royal family and then become emperor?"
"Nonsense! Fair and General Owen just can't resist the Bine family, it's all a conspiracy of Archduke Andrew! ”
Angelina retorted that she wouldn't believe a stranger's words. Lillian, on the other hand, didn't react much, she just raised an eyebrow, and continued,
"If I'm not mistaken, Phil should be the leader of the Imperial City's forbidden army, right?"
"So what!"
"Oh, it's really nothing," Lillian said with a playful smile on her lips,
"I'm just a little curious about how the northern soldiers who invaded the Imperial City broke through to the palace by breaking through the powerful forbidden army and capturing the old king's family without a single soldier. Could it be that Fell and his men happened to be asleep? ”
The soldiers of the northern border were able to capture the old king's line without a single soldier, and it would be an international joke to say that Fell, the leader of the forbidden army, did not participate. No matter how weak the forbidden army is, it is impossible to let the enemy pass through unscathed, unless they collude at all!
"Impossible! You're just lying to me... Phil wouldn't be like that..."Angelina retorted fiercely, not believing that Fell would be the culprit in her father's death.
"It seems that you just don't want to believe it. In that case, I'll ask you to meet someone. ”
Lillian raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and immediately a hole opened in the wall behind her, and a scar-faced man with black curly hair walked in from the outside, and then bowed to Lillian,
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Hmm," Lilian nodded, and said to Angelina,
"This is the Black Hand of the North, I believe you should have seen him in the palace. His soul has been transformed into a demon soul by me, and he will not lie in front of me. Alright, Black Hand, tell the princess what you have. ”
"Yes!" The black hand replied respectfully, and then said to the princess who was sitting in the corner of the bed,
"Your Royal Highness Princess, General Owen and Archduke Andrew have long been in contact, and the operation of overthrowing the old king was completed by the two of them, and Fair Patrol also made a lot of efforts when the Northern Army captured the royal family, not only providing news of the royal family's civil strife, but..."
"Shut up! Say no more! No, it won't... Phil won't lie to me... It won't..."
Angelina, with tears streaming down her eyes, interrupted the Black Hand's statement, denying it incessantly, but her voice grew lower and lower; It seemed that she had a hard time accepting that Fell was the enemy who killed her father.
"My lord, I..."
"Alright, you go out first."
"Yes!" The Black Hand bowed again and left the room respectfully. There is no way, his net worth and life are all in the hands of the other party, so he can't be disrespectful.
After the black hand left, the princess gradually controlled her emotions.
In fact, she also knew that the people who could hold important positions under the new king must be people who had contributed to the previous turmoil. Angelina was just deceiving herself, not wanting to believe it. But now, after Lillian has pierced this disguise, she can only choose between Fell and the Old King.
Seeing Angelina calm down, Lilian spoke:
"Miss Princess, feelings don't decide everything, especially men, when they encounter things, they usually treat problems in a rational way. Even if you don't want to believe it, it's true, and the Phil you say may have feelings for you, but that's not his only one. Would you rather trust a familiar enemy, or would you rather trust me, a stranger with good intentions? ”
"Tell me, what do you want me to do? And what do I get? Angelina wiped the tears from her face, and there was a look of hatred in her eyes.
"Oh? Looks like you've made your choice..."
Lillian narrowed her eyes and smiled, a red light flashing from her eyes...
