Chapter 34: Blood Dreams
Kingdom of Pole, Hansar City.
The palace was in turmoil early in the morning, with maids and guards running and shouting everywhere, and the stately palace was almost turned into a vegetable market.
"What are you doing in a panic?" said Queen Catherine, putting on a fur cloak, and came out of her bedroom sleepily.
A few days after her husband returned, he left in the dust, taking with him a large number of guards and entourage from the palace before leaving, and most of the people who remained in the palace were rookies with little training, and it was completely predictable that they would make a mess at the slightest trouble.
"Her Royal Highness the Queen......" A maid ran over in a panic, "Princess Diyu, Her Royal Highness the Princess, she, she ......"
"Princess, what's wrong with her?" about her daughter, Catherine immediately became nervous.
"Her Royal Highness Di Eucalyptus, she's gone!"
"Say it again!"
"Just now, when I went to wake up the princess, I found her ...... Ah, Your Highness, wait for me!"
The maid hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and chased Catherine desperately.
In order not to hinder the movement, Catherine simply kicked off her high heels, ran barefoot, and rushed to her daughter's room at full speed.
Catherine breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that Princess Dieu's bed was messy, but the bedroom window was still closed and the door showed no signs of being violently damaged. The most important thing is that Di Yu is at the head of the bed, and her favorite ragdoll bear is no longer there, which means that Di Yu left on her own, and if she was kidnapped by someone else, the suspect would not have the heart to bring another huge doll in the way.
Although the hanging heart has been let go, the problem is still not solved. Where did the little princess go?
Catherine pulled back the group of people who had followed her, closed the door, and then lay down on her daughter's bed, closed her eyes, and thought about where she would hide if she was Di Yu.
......
Twenty minutes later, on the highest spire of the palace, Catherine finally found her daughter.
No one would have thought that a little girl who was only 7 or 8 years old could climb to such a high place, and carry such a big ragdoll bear, but Catherine recalled that in the past, when Di Yu was unhappy, Duris would take her to climb to this spire, although in the process of climbing up, the little girl was shocked and scared, but to be able to see such a vast and magnificent cityscape, the little girl who was crying her nose just now couldn't say it, suddenly smiled and opened her eyebrows, and her depressed mood also stretched.
But now, seeing her daughter sitting on the edge of the perilous with her feet dangling in the air, facing the cold wind, and holding a huge ragdoll bear, and looking out over the whole city that had just woken up, Catherine perceived in the little girl a deep melancholy that was not appropriate for her age.
Unable to bear the cold wind on her daughter's thin body, Catherine took off her fur cloak and draped it over the little girl from behind.
"Mother, I'm scared. There is no need to look back, Di Yu also knows who it is, and the familiar body fragrance belongs to her most trusted haven.
"Silly boy, who told you to climb so high by yourself? Have you seen enough? When you have seen enough, you will come down with your mother. Catherine gently persuaded.
"No, Queen Mother, I'm not afraid of heights. Di Yu is afraid, afraid of ......" The girl's body trembled slightly.
Catherine hurriedly sat down beside her daughter and took her into her arms: "Don't be afraid. There is a queen mother. β
"Blood...... Blood, a lot of blood! Di Yu saw a lot of blood!"
"What?"
Catherine's words startled Catherine.
In the days after Duris returned secretly and left secretly, more than a dozen mysterious serial murders occurred in Hansha City, and the deceased were all powerful people, big businessmen, scholars, military officers, high-ranking priests, and other big people with unusual identities, which made the people of Hansha City panic. Catherine knew that those people were killed by Duris, and she knew that such a thing could not be said. These cases will never be solved, and Duris is only carrying out his own plans, and all she has to do is cooperate with the periphery. Of course, the murder case was gone, and after more than a month, under Catherine's several deliberate measures to divert attention, people's hearts gradually settled down, and Catherine intentionally or unintentionally interfered with the sheriff's case, and finally cut off all the clues of these murders, making them dead. Catherine thought she had done it perfectly, but what her daughter said at this time made her feel that a cold sweat had soaked her back.
"Did you hear or see something, Dieucalyptus?" asked Catherine cautiously.
"No, I just had a terrible dream. I dreamed of a lot of blood, lots and lots of blood......"
Oh, it turned out to be a dream! Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, the daughter's words made Catherine feel dominated by fear again.
"I saw my father, my father, he bled a lot, my father bled a lot...... Lots of blood ......"
The Kingdom of Sealand, a western island nation two hours behind the Kingdom of Pole in the East.
The royal capital is Monquillo, and the sky is at the moment of dawn.
"It's time. Prince Harun rose from the battlements where he had been sitting all night, and placed a black bracelet on the wrist of his left hand.
"So what are you waiting for? Julian, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and put another black bracelet on his left wrist.
At this time, under the city walls, in the thick morning mist, you can faintly see the surging crowd moving quietly. The most loyal troops loyal to Prince Harun and under the orders of General Finger wore the same uniform as the city defense units in the royal capital, but each wore a black bracelet on their left wrist as a standard to distinguish friend from foe.
On this morning, while all the inhabitants of Monquillo were still asleep, an armed coup d'Γ©tat that would have a profound impact on the history of the Kingdom of Sealand was quietly begins......
The Avenger Camp, the frozen world.
A tense battle of swords turned into a more complicated three-way confrontation, and the third party who was forced out, the Lich King Karlowen, smiled approvingly and said to Owen, "Very clever lad." You know that at the moment of the great enemy, the more than 10,000 vassals and friends who are frozen here have undoubtedly become hostages of the other party, and under the trap of the rat, no matter how strong you and this Stigmata Lady are, it is impossible for you and this Stigmata to fight with all their strength. So you forced me out as a counterweight to your opponents. But you're not smart enough," Karlovan suddenly put away his smile, "and if you do this, you're in danger of being faced on both sides. β
"Thank you, Lord Lich King, for the reminder. When it comes to desperate situations, I've been through countless situations, but I've never despaired because of them. Although the Lich King has helped me before," Owen looked at Sophia beside him, paused, and continued to respond, "You have been my enemy since you sent your men to attack Sophia, but even so, I don't think that Lord Lich King will be in the same league as the truth. β
"Humph!"
While the two were talking, Mukasha, a senior cadre of the Truth Society, who was being left aside, suddenly sneered and raised his foot to the ground.
"Be careful!"
As soon as Sophia's warning came out, a black magic array suddenly appeared on the ground under Owen's feet, and 7 or 8 white bone ghost claws burning with green ghost fire broke through the barrier of space, "grew" out of the ground, and covered Owen's body......
