Act XII. Show one’s true colors in the end

Shiloh walked down the hallway, the cold winter scenery outside the window, in stark contrast to the warm air of the mansion, Shiloh exhaled, condensing into a white mist on the glass of the window, he wiped away the white mist, and saw soldiers in military uniforms walking between the courtyards.

Vera Hill had already left earlier, although Shiloh thought that it was not appropriate to rush to rescue Count Lorien alone, but he couldn't find a more reliable plan for a while, but he knew the strength of the Legend Rank, even if Vera Hill faced the attack of three golds, as long as he was not too lightly attacked, he could completely retreat, at most it would be useless, which was also helpless, so Shiloh did not stop him in the end.

And after Shiloh thought about it, Verahill's move was not just to help Prince Leotis.

I'm afraid that this Count Strass also wants to take the opportunity to strengthen his strength, if the rescue is really successful, then the army of Count Llorian will be annexed by the Third Legion, plus the soldiers of the three fortresses drawn from Prince Leotis, the Third Legion can even have more combat power than after the Battle of the Misty Forest.

Prince Leotis may have wanted to borrow Verachiel's Third Legion to clear the way for his territory at first, but he didn't expect Verachiel to pull away his army in turn, and for the sake of face, he could only agree.

The nobleman's machinations made Shiloh a little amused and a little angry.

It is clear that Astor is on the verge of such a crisis, but the nobles still only focus on their own interests, even Verahir, thinking more about her own legion than Astelle.

However, this is also normal, Shiloh knows that in the current period, neither ordinary people nor nobles have yet formed a clear concept of the state, the common people are loyal to the lord, the lord is loyal to the greater lord, and the big lord is loyal to the royal family, resulting in a strange political system of "the lord's lord is not my lord, and the vassal of the vassal is not my vassal".

In the previous game, Princess Elyfils was able to have such appeal thanks to her experience of suffering and more players with modern thinking, players knew that if they wanted other NPCs to act, they had to set up a flag, and this flag was Princess Elyfils.

Therefore, it can be said that Princess Eliefils was used by everyone, whether it was a nobleman, a royal family, or a player, and in the end, such a princess was assassinated by her own people, and in retrospect, Shiloh couldn't help but sigh.

Now, Princess Elyfils does not have much appeal, even if she stands up, it is difficult to resonate too much with the other soldiers, and the dominance of the battlefield is still in the hands of Verahir and Prince Leotis, and Her Royal Highness can only rely on others.

In the current kingdom of Aster, the army that really belongs to Princess Eliefils is only more than a thousand people from the Fourth Legion, but I don't know what their safety is at the moment, and there is no way to contact Archmage Elwin, thinking of this, Shiloh sighed again.

Lord Manstein and the others returned to the army to check on the situation, and in the huge mansion, only Shiloh and Princess Eliefils were left in it as guests.

Shiloh wandered alone in the corridors, the deserted mansion made him a little uneasy, and he had been talking to Geralhaide for a while, but the other party left not long after, and he didn't know where to check the war readiness, leaving Shiloh alone in the empty mansion.

Princess Elyfils was in her room to meet with Prince Leotis, Shiloh naturally knew about the meeting between the two siblings of the royal family, and of course he was a small priest who had no right to attend, and after wandering for a while, almost being mistaken for an assassin by a passing maid, Shiloh decided to wait in his room in peace.

The room allocated to Shiloh was quite spacious, located on the second floor of the villa, next to Princess Eliefils's room, with the window facing the courtyard, and if it was a primrose moon in spring, it would have been a beautiful view, but now you can only see the lonely courtyard and the gray buildings in the distance.

Shiloh was a little bored, he wanted to take this opportunity to study his current state, but as he opened the system's skill list and looked at the valuable equipment on the table, Shiloh noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the paintings on the wall.

The painting itself is nothing special, it is a typical religious story painting, but the wall at the edge of the frame seems to be different from the surrounding one, as if the sun has not shone for a long time, and Shiloh immediately reacted, this painting has been moved, and it is not recent.

Mentally thinking of giving it a try, Shiloh moved the painting away slightly, and saw a small hole in the wall hidden by the frame.

The hole seemed to connect to Princess Elifils's room next door, and Shiloh was a little speechless for a moment, and he really couldn't figure out how bad it was to go to the owner of this mansion to make such a small hole to peep next door.

However, now that Prince Leotis was next door, it wouldn't be too much of a problem to take a peek, so Shiloh made excuses for himself, and finally stuck his head against the wall and peeked into the hole.

The next room was similarly decorated to this one, with Shiloh seeing Princess Elyphis sitting in a chair at her desk, Prince Leotis leaning against the window, and Sicrates, the close guard, standing in the doorway.

"I know what you think, Ellifils."

Prince Leotis said, in a tone that was very different from the one he had eaten before, a cold tone that he had heard in high-level negotiations like a shrewd politician in his previous life.

"You want to use Strass's army to put pressure on me so that you can gain a place in front of my father."

"No, Brother Leotis, I just want to do my part for Aster."

In the face of Prince Leotis's accusations, Princess Elipels did not take a-for-tat, but opened her mouth to explain.

"I'm not interested in the throne, you're wrong."

"Hmph, when I was assigned to this Kainz territory by my father, I knew that in the battle for the throne, I lost the first hand, and the two old foxes of Eve Marie and Thetis must be snickering."

For the two highnesses who were older than him, Prince Leotis showed no mercy, he said, and walked slowly towards Princess Erifels.

"But they are stupid, I am alone in this Kainz to lead the development of the army, taking advantage of this war, as long as I raise an army to attack the royal capital, then the throne must be mine."

"What are you talking about, Brother Leotis, now our enemy is Wendland, not our own people!"

Princess Eliefils immediately stood up, looking quite agitated.

"Wendland just wants some reparations, some land, as long as I become king and give Wendran all the south of the Pamir Mountains, then the war will naturally subside."

Prince Leotis said lightly, as if discussing the dishes of today's dinner.

"As for you, my sister, of course you have a chance to contribute to Astelle. I don't mind giving you to His Excellency the Speaker of Wendland when he becomes king, and I think the reason why my father left you as an imposter in the position of princess is also for this reason, right?
