Ellie was speechless, and sat on her knees in a daze, her body limply falling on Tia's shoulder.

"Ellie, are you alright?"

Tia thinks she's stupid, does she need to ask at this time? Even if she wasn't from this plane, she was frightened by this shocking fact, and her hands were still shaking until now, and if it weren't for Alan supporting herself behind her, she might have fallen out of control even more than Ellie.

"I deliberately let you go, it's not that I'm afraid of your northern army. It's just that the war has not yet begun, and this is not a place where you can be free to do whatever you want, and continuing will only add unnecessary sacrifices. Still, it looks like you're not going to let go, Charlotte, do you really think your father is doing the right thing? Blind obedience will only make you appear stupid and will not increase your value in his mind. ”

Terry's words pierced Charlotte's heart, and if words could hurt a person, Charlotte's heart would have been full of holes at this moment. Terry was not wrong at all, since she was born, she had never been praised and loved by Emperor Mephisler. Even though she is her father's only child, she still doesn't get the attention she deserves. When she was a child, she didn't have everything that a normal child should have, even the simplest smile, her father never gave her one in her memory.

In the 'Shadow Country', that is, in the Northern Army, if you are a girl, then your life is destined to be unrespected, the empire needs a strong military force, and women will only become a burden. Therefore, many children of nobles are secretly solved at birth, and sometimes Charlotte even thinks that these so-called nobles are not as good as the children of those corporals in the army, at least they still have a chance to live. Of course, as the daughter of the emperor, Charlotte's life was quite noble, and she was not sentenced to death at birth. So Charlotte's love for her father is real, because she feels that the reason why she has survived to this day is completely because of her father's love for her, although her father never looks at her squarely and never takes the initiative to talk to her, but she is still paranoid that it is love.

Since the age of 7, Charlotte has formed a self-defense army composed of girls on her own, and for this weak squad, she confronts the superior general and takes countless lives from the executioner's knife. Eventually, she obtained the permission of Emperor Mephisler to form this self-defense force called the 'Witch Sword', including Doris, who is here today.

When the Witch Sword was first established, it served as an auxiliary to the regular army and a princess's escort. However, when Emperor Mephisler intended to seize the Star of Nature, the 'Witch Sword' became the Emperor's exclusive army. Emperor Mephisler used the talents of the magicians to create 'pretenders' that closely resembled magic weapons, which was one of the reasons for his growing ambitions. Mephisler saw the infinite possibilities of the demon's dark magic, and his greedy desire forced him to extend his claws to his daughter's self-defense forces.

Due to the unique way 'The Pretender' is made, it seems that it can only be used by women to exert its maximum power. That's why Emperor Mephisler replaced all the girls with the 'Witch Sword' with their matching swords to 'Pretenders'. Of course, he told the girls all the most immediate consequences - they might die for the sword. But the girls gladly accepted, not for the Empire, but for Princess Charlotte, who saved their lives.

On this trip to Dax, Charlotte took the initiative to ask to go out in person. Because Emperor Mephisler seems to be very confident in the fact that the holy weapon is in Dax, and he is determined to get it. In order to win her father's approval, Charlotte rushed here with her three closest companions.

"I'm stupid or not, I don't need you to judge. Now that everyone has spread out the conversation, it seems that there will be no results if you don't fight to the death. ”

Charlotte finally stood firm, and her sword-matching artifact, Ednes, was left behind in the swordsmith's workshop, and at this moment, Charlotte, who was empty-handed, glared at Terry without yielding.

"What can you do without the Flame Sword, after all, among you, only your half-demon and half-god sword is considered genuine, and the others seem to me to be just a pile of useless scrap metal, is this your father's love for you? Stupid! ”

Terry swung his scabbard, and the scabbard cut a pitch-black sword mark in the air, and struck towards the enchantment of the three women.

'Bang! ’

After a slam, the barrier flickered and returned to its original state. A second and third attacks swung out of Terry's hand, all three hitting the same area of the barrier, but didn't seem to be fatal. It's just that in the enchantment, the corners of Doris's mouths are dripping with blood, their faces are pale, and black meridians can be seen bursting on their necks and bare arms, as if they will burst at any time.

"Those swords are sucking their lives, Charlotte, aren't they your friends?!"

Ellie staggered to her feet, and Tia behind her quickly helped her as she was about to fall.

"You're right, they're my best friends, but they're also soldiers of the Empire, and it's their own choice and mine."

Charlotte lowered her head, unable to see her expression at the moment, but when she yelled at Doris and them before, Ellie thought that this battle might be avoided, and death could be avoided, but now, she knew that she was too naïve, and she lived in Dax, who was still well-fed and peaceful, where would she understand Charlotte's pain and persistence.

Seeing that the black mist in the barrier was getting bigger and bigger, the three girls were all unconscious, their eyes were white, and they were numbly chanting incantations. Tia glanced at Eren and handed Ellie to Dusty before coming to Terry's side.

"What do you do? Stand down. ”

Even though he was scolded by Terry, Tia still raised the white staff and approached the barrier,

"O god of light, please turn the crystal ball in your hand to illuminate the shadows cast by all darkness, and let this world lose its shadow for a while!"

- Artifact?!

Just as Terry showed his surprise, the light of the white staff flourished, and the entire dark enchantment was illuminated by the holy light, and the pitch-black shadows were instantly dispelled!

"Alan, hurry, now!"

I saw Eren come to Tia's side in a flash, and when he was about to draw his sword,

"Huh?!"

Mistetin is like being sealed by a scabbard, unable to pull out the sword! No matter how hard Alan tried, Mistetin didn't move. (To be continued.) )
