It seems that when Clarence picked her up, the girl did not blush like a normal girl of this age, on the contrary, after noticing the posture of Clarence turning out the dagger, she quickly determined the position of the pocket containing the dagger, and by the way, she took out a handful of it, and now, she was holding the dagger against Clarence's neck, whispering a threat.

"Little girl, are you sure it's really good to do this? It's a good thing that you're still so energetic after you have it in your hands, but after all, I saved you from there, didn't I? Faced with such a threat, Clarence did not feel nervous, but half-jokingly raised his hand and said.

"I've rested long enough in that damn dungeon...... I'm grateful to you for getting me out, but I want to ask, why did you save me as a prisoner? Please don't get me wrong, because no Demacian would do that, would they? ”

Is this the reason for this...... This stupid and old-fashioned idea really fits the thinking characteristics of the Demacian people, the corners of Clarence's mouth can't help but show a sneer of disdain, if it were an ordinary person, he might not hesitate to kill this guy who dares to threaten him with a dagger, but this time he knows very well that this girl is likely to have what he wants.

"The Demacians probably won't do that, but you have to make sure this person is a Demacian, if you can understand what I'm saying."

"A book reads the novel YBDU, are you Mrs. Piltworth? No...... There are not many people in Demacia who can speak this language, and that doesn't prove it......"

The girl didn't understand what Clarence was saying, but as an ally, she could still make out what language it was, and it was ironic that it was much more intimate than her mother tongue.

"How to judge what I say is your problem, but I know very well, if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to run into that dangerous place to get you out, now, can you give me back my dagger?"

……

"Oh...... Hmm" The girl hesitated for a moment, and could tell that she didn't fully believe the man in front of her, but in the end, she handed the dagger to Clarence and introduced herself for the first time, "My name is Phyllis...... Can you tell me your name? ”

"Clark" Clarence changed his name slightly, of course, it didn't really matter, "Now can you tell me why I'm being locked up there?" And what about 'betrayal'? “

"Before I tell you, you must first answer my question, why is Lady Piltworth in the town hall of Demacia, and in this way?"

The issue seems to have reached an impasse again, the two sides have never really believed in each other's identities, but in this regard, Clarence has an absolute advantage, and after pretending to sigh helplessly, he began his performance: "Okay, okay, I lost to you...... About a week ago, a friend of mine in Demacia sent me a message out of the blue, asking me to wait here a week later, after that, we lost contact, I arrived here yesterday, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't reach him, although his whereabouts have always been like a mystery, but he never broke his word, so, I followed the signal of his mobile phone to find there, and what happened next...... You can probably guess. “

"Whew...... Is that so? Hearing this, Phyllis's expression seemed to soften a little, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally continued, "If that's the case then I'm sorry, if the friend you're talking about is the same as me, he will only have two ends...... Escape from the cell, or...... Executed in secret. “

"Execution? You mean execution? Clarence deliberately raised his voice, grabbed Phyllis's shoulders with some excitement and asked loudly, "Who are you?" Why was he executed in secret? “

"Please calm down!" Phyllis pushed him away fiercely, her gaze looking down unnaturally, as if struggling for something, and after a long while, she raised her head and asked softly, "About the royal family and council of Demacia...... How much do you really know? “

"Huh? Belch...... You have a constitutional monarchy, is there anything else? Clarence said this deliberately, which is also the level of understanding of ordinary people.

"That's right...... It is indeed a constitutional monarchy, but only a few people know that in Demacia, any royal family, including the Shields, has far more power than the Parliament, or rather, the entire Council is just a place for the Shields. Phyllis sat down on the ground and began to tell the story slowly.

Constitutional monarchy has a long history in Demacia, but what few people know is that the actual administrator of the country that was supposed to be governed by parliament is the king of each generation, and in addition to providing reference for the king, it is also their duty to supervise every order and action issued by the king, and if a king loses the right to rule, then the parliament will make him lose the throne.

In order to do this, the parliament had a legal armed force protected by the Constitution, and the men who made up this force were the best in Demacia, whose existence was never made public, and the few who knew about it called "phantoms".

Unless the situation is urgent, the Phantoms are not responsible for any other work, they exist only to eliminate the disqualified king, in order to ensure the purity of this force, all members will be strictly investigated and do not know each other, and their leaders are also many people, once a disqualified king is eliminated, the existing members will be immediately disbanded, and a new batch of members will be recruited.

Even with such measures, this did not completely prevent some unscrupulous careerists, and in order to ensure the king's safety, the king also had an army of his own, which were not openly recognized by the king as elite guards, but were secretly appointed like phantoms, and these people were what the parliament called "radiance".

The number of radiant beings could not exceed two-thirds of the total number of apparitions, which was clearly stipulated in the secret provisions of the constitution, and in the transition from a purely monarchical to a constitutional monarchy, concessions were made between the king and the parliament, and in the long war with Noxus, each king knew that if he made a mistake, the whole country would be destroyed, and in the past years this system had worked effectively, but a week earlier it had been subtly shaken.

"In that case, you're a member of the 'Phantom'" Hearing this, Clarence probably guessed Phyllis's identity, "So were you attacked or framed by 'Radiance'?" ”

"No, all the members of the Phantom have official identities, and I think you should know that Noxus has assassins to provide services, and the dark side of Demacia is made up of our spies."

"That's ...... so"

A sinister smile appeared on Clarence's lips, no one knows the story of this group of spies better than him except Musel, this group of spies has a history almost as long as the Assassins, and there are many similarities in their work, they exist like ghosts in the city of Noxus, once an Assassin kills a person, the spies will also return the color, and when the two armies are fighting bloodily, this group of people who exist on the dark side fight each other in an even more cruel and bloody way.

Today, assassinations are rare, because both sides are aware that they cannot fully identify these hidden dangers, and in this context, their work has shifted to intelligence gathering.

"I have given everything I can to do this job well, and even so, I have never had any complaints, but after His Majesty the King returned from somewhere about a week ago, everything changed."

Speaking of this, Phyllis seemed to choke up a little, and after calming down her emotions a little, she still insisted: "According to my chief, he began to become less trusting of others, even those closest to him, just a few days ago, His Majesty suddenly ordered the investigation and interrogation of all spies, and my work was almost entirely done in Noxus, so I had no evidence to prove my innocence at all, and at the behest of my chief, I chose to escape." ”

"But you don't seem to have escaped." Clarence said lightly.

"Yes, because Your Majesty dispatched the brilliance" Phyllis looked at the scar on her arm and continued with a wry smile, "Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind this time to find out the possible betrayer, and I suggested that the Phantom intervene in this matter, but the higher authorities refused me with this order, and in the end, I was caught by them, if I didn't succeed in escaping...... I think I'll be publicly executed for treason. ”

"Really? But now that you have become a traitor wanted by the whole country, even if you escape, what use will it be? ”

"I have to wait, at least according to my understanding, the commanders also have doubts about His Majesty's behavior this time, if this situation continues to develop, the phantom is likely to intervene, I must wait until then...... Okay, you've got enough of that, hurry up and get back to Phi City. ”

"Huh?" The sudden change of words made Clarence stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that?" ”

"I think your friend should be a spy like me, and there is a good chance that he has already been caught, you are not from Demacia, there is no need to get involved in this trouble, this is my most sincere advice to you, I hope you can understand."
