Ariel was terrified, pacing around the small sacrificial hall of the manor.

In the past few years, she has been living a chaotic life, and it is often only when she returns to her residence that she knows where she has gone.

The Mines, the Workshops, the City Offices, the Legions, and the Diocesan Mast Council, which selects the members of the credible faithful and even the Hand of Order, evaluates the work of the diocese, and approves the candidates for Mast and Bishop. As the Chief Lady of Order, she is the eye of the Goddess of Order. Because the Goddess of Order is one with the Empress of the Dawn, she is also the hand of the Empress of the Dawn.

But she can't remember the details of all the work, because of the existence of the empress, the will of the goddess can lead her to do these works in detail.

The goddess chose her as the Holy Maiden of Order, but she took a fancy to her special status and the special bloodline of the Hadron family. 、

Ariel was not a strong-willed believer, and the incident at the Temple of Grace six or seven years ago had shaken her faith in the gods. But the Goddess of Order doesn't care, all she needs is a vessel that can withstand a strong will. At this point, Ariel is not much worse than her two cousins.

In the past few days, she happened to be "on vacation" and was allowed to return to a secret estate on the outskirts of King Hadrang's capital to rest.

Midnight had passed, and when the moon had set, she was awakened.

She could clearly sense that the Goddess had lost the same connection she had with her through the Empress.

For more than three years, it was this connection that oppressed her mind, making her weak soul squeezed into a corner by the incomparably powerful divine power of order, her perception of the outside world was blurry, and even her thinking was extremely dull, and she could only relax for a while when she was resting.

The loss of this connection made her feel so happy that she wanted to sing loudly, and then the strong sense of emptiness made her extremely frightened and wanted to find that connection.

What happened to the goddess?

Did something happen to the Empress?

After waking up, she learned from the attendants that Valentine had been attacked, and she hurried to the sacrificial hall to communicate with the goddess.

The goddess issued an oracle asking her to return to Valentine.

It wasn't a clear idea conveyed by the Empress, but a very vague and obscure idea, Ariel was not stupid, she understood that something had happened to the Empress.

Bishop Baudouin and Emily, the head of the Hand of Order, then contacted her to confirm the return to Valentine.

Originally, she was very anxious, and she thought of teleporting directly back to Valentine. However, Emily said that it was difficult to ensure safety by teleporting with magic and magic wizards now, and that it was better to use the teleportation network of the Temple of Commerce and let her stay in the manor and wait.

At this time, Ariel had time to think.

Although Emily didn't say it directly, she casually called her "Your Majesty" at the end of the sentence, what does it mean?

It means that he went to Valentine to take over the throne......

But it is not the throne, it is the will vessel of the goddess, more direct and pure than the holy woman.

In other words, from now on, there will be no Ariel of herself, only the mortal incarnation of the goddess of order, Ariel.

In other words, from now on, I will no longer feel pain, depression, or even despair, and then in this kind of days like a prison of the soul, I will occasionally bathe in the true dawn.

It was greetings from Reyrol, Karin, and Mayne's best friends, as well as her sister Catherine, through special channels, as well as various toys and visions. It was that kind of dawn that made her persist in the prison of her soul to this day.

In the game of "Witch vs. Holy Maiden", she hasn't drawn her own card yet, how can it be a five-star purple card.

Is it okay not to go?

The thought flashed through my mind, and slipped away like a little mouse.

If you go, you will die......

It's also a relief......

And my sister Theresia has shown up for her faith, how can she retreat, she has the blood of the Hadron family in her body.

These thoughts soothed her and kept her from hysteria.

The candlelight in the hall cast her thin figure in a nightgown onto the ground, stretching it even longer. That cheek is no longer as round as when she was abducted to Chilian, and it looks more beautiful and moving, and the fear and pain in her eyes make her beautiful and pitiful.

"Princess...... Can you come out and speak?"

A royal magician in the chamberlain whispered outside the hall, and the empress could directly channel the will of the goddess to control her. While she was resting, Hadran's royal family was in charge of safety, and there were many members of the unordered church among her attendants.

In the prison where the mind is directly imprisoned, the goddess knows everything about her condition. Maybe she didn't think there was any threat, or maybe she felt that she also needed to relax once in a while, lest the oppression be too tight and her heart would collapse, but the goddess didn't interfere.

Ariel was out of the hall, and she was already feeling something. What the magician wants to say must be something extraordinary, and he doesn't dare to say it in the temple for fear that the goddess will sense it.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

This is a female magician, a little older, after opening the silence barrier, she said in an unusually solemn tone: "You should have received an oracle, right? ”

Ariel nodded bitterly, and the magician lowered his voice, "You don't want to." ”

Ariel's eyes widened, and the magician nodded: "I am entrusted by His Majesty the King to protect you, we will move to another place, there will be reliable people to pick you up, you have a good relationship with them, go to them and live a new life." ”

Huge surprise and fear hit Ariel's delicate heart at the same time, and she gasped several times before she had the strength to speak: "Is this good? The goddess will condemn and the empire will collapse!"

The magician accentuated his tone: "Now is not the time to think about the goddess and the empire, Your Highness the princess, think about yourself!"

Ariel shook her head vigorously as she made a decision, and the magician was in a hurry.

She was tasked by the Prime Minister, the Royal Magicians, and the Mage Federation to move Ariel before the Hand of Order arrived.

"So offended, Your Highness Princess, I'll help you make your choice. ”

The magician raised his staff and released a hypnotic shot, Ariel shook it and blinked, "What are you doing, Lord Arlene?"

"Damn ......"

The sorceress gritted her teeth, forgetting that the princess was a saint of order. Even if the will is weak, and he has been in a state of divine descent for a long time, his resistance to magic is frighteningly high.

Before he had time to think about it, the staff was raised high and fell heavily.

Ariel rolled her eyes and softened, and the sorceress hugged her and snapped her fingers, and several of the attendants squeezed out the air.

"You stay here to monitor the Hand of Order......"

Sixth-level magician Arin was commanding, and a hoarse female voice sounded.

"I knew that there would be rebellion at the critical moment. ”

As he spoke, several figures flashed out, and the long sword slashed down with a blazing golden light.

The blue light and gray-black smoke swept away, and a large area of broken light exploded, and the battle instantly entered a white-hot one, and it ended in less than a minute.

A few of the Night Squires escaped, and three other squires lay on the ground.

Emily pulled the Demonsteel Sword out of the sorceress's heart, the blade creaking against the soft gold armor within.

The blood spurting out of the wound was mixed with bits of golden light, and the divine power of order shattered the heart.

The sorceress grabbed Emily's shoulders, her eyes bulging, her seven orifices spilling with golden blood, and her throat gurgling.

She squeezed out a few words: "Free...... Will...... Victory ......"

Emily snorted coldly and raised her long sword, which pierced the sorceress's mouth, and the golden light flowed, turning the entire head into ashes.

The headless corpse slowly fell on its back, and Emily looked at Ariel lying on the ground, who had just woken up, rubbing her head and moaning.

The corpse fell to the ground, causing Ariel to jump to her feet.

"Arlene——!"

She screamed in horror, saw Emily again, and said in disbelief, "You—you killed Arlene!?"

Emily bowed her head respectfully: "Your Highness, that is a rebellion that is trying to hijack you!"

Ariel cried, although she didn't know Arlene too well, but she was one of the few people who could say something to her confidant, and she couldn't accept being killed in front of her eyes like this.

"Your Highness, hurry up and follow us back to Valentine......"

Emily felt a strong sense of unease in her heart, and she felt that the rebellion might not be the only one, but it was more like some intuition sensing great danger.

"What if...... What if I don't want to go?"

Looking at Arlene's headless body, Ariel suddenly gained courage: "You must forcibly take me away, right?

Emily said irritably: "If Your Highness is dissatisfied, after you wear the crown and become Your Majesty, you can naturally punish us." ”

Ariel laughed, smiling a little nervously: "When I put on the crown, then it won't be me, how can I punish you?"

"This is the will of the goddess!"

Emily was a little incredulous: "You are the Holy Maiden of Order, and you have also received an oracle, and you actually want to disobey the oracle and dedicate yourself to the goddess!?"

"Dedication...... Sacrifice ......"

Ariel screamed, "You know what dedication and sacrifice are! You know what a fart! Isn't that just pig farming?"

She completely collapsed: "Pigs still know how to eat and drink, clean and play music, and when they kill, they have to deceive! Gods are not as good as mortals to pigs!"

Emily's blood rushed to her head, the Holy Maiden of Order was actually a rebel, and an extremely arrogant rebel, look what she said!

But when will pigs have to play music?

Throwing away distracting thoughts, she gritted her teeth and reached out to grab Ariel: "Your Highness, be decent, go back with us!"

Ariel picked up the dagger on the ground and said to her heart, "I've had enough!

At this moment, the sky above his head suddenly roared, and two purple rays of light shot down, like falling stars.

The purple light suddenly pulled up in mid-air, drawing a steep arc, and the violent air flow carried a tearing roar of the air, like a tangible giant hand slamming down.

The building collapsed in an instant, the dust of the rubble swept away, and the ripples on the barrier of divine power that Emily subconsciously held up rushed like waves.

Even in the face of the upheaval, she didn't let her guard down, and her instincts told her that it wasn't really an attack.

Sure enough, the burgundy rays shot down from mid-air, continuously.

She raised her arms and unfurled the shield of the Magic Steel Arm.

With a snap, a ray broke through the barrier, penetrated the arm shield, and then pierced through the demonic steel armor and the inner layer of spider silk soft armor on the chest, shooting out from behind.

Looking at the flying ash floating from the arm shield and feeling the hollow in her body instantly, Emily's vision began to weaken.

She vaguely saw two men in magic weapons landing, and one of them said in her familiar voice, "Yo...... What about acquaintances......"

The man sighed, "We're meeting for the second time tonight, and every time you look like you're about to die." ”

Richie Prell ......

Emily thought desperately, the task entrusted to her by the goddess had failed again.

The other party walked over, pinched her chin, lifted her, and stabbed the forbidden spike through her neck.

The pain was so intense that Emily twitched, blood or some other fluid dripping down her leg and causing her to lose all strength.

Thankfully, she was able to stay awake because of this.

"Sardar ......"

Richie tossed the young girl, who had become a captive again, and commanded, "You protect Ariel......

He looked into the shadows in the distance: "I'm here to greet the uninvited guests." ”
