() St. Papal Island

What, even that heretic is planted in the hands of these invaders

After receiving the news, the Pope's mind was full of mixed feelings

Now that the Pope had finally gotten his wish, the most terrible scourge that had plagued the Central Church for 40 years and which had plagued three generations of popes seemed to be gone, and yet instead of feeling the slightest joy in the Pope's heart, a trace of fear could not help but rise - the feeling of falling into another after one fear had ended, although it was still very insignificant

Even the pagans who were helpless in the Central Church were defeated in their hands, and once time passed, these seemingly milky young people would definitely become a big problem for the Central Church

The Pope came to a silver disc that was as smooth as a mirror, and saw that there seemed to be a figure hidden on the surface of the silver plate, but this figure was not the Pope's reflection

They should have broken into the sixth layer, tell sù that man must capture Princess Sophia alive, kill all the others, and don't miss again, otherwise he himself knows best, and the pope said to the figure in the disc

The figure nodded at the Pope and faded away, appearing in the disc instead of the Pope's own reflection

Hopefully, he will not disappoint me, and Pope Frio I, who sits back on the throne, has never been so lacking in self-confidence as he is now

Why do you know I'm a princess

However, the man did not seem to mean to answer Sophia's question, he unhurriedly smoked the pipe in his hand until all the swarthy things in the small disc were exhausted, and then the middle-aged man stretched and slowly sat up from the bed

During this time, Sophia's dagger was kept on high alert

Your Royal Highness Princess, you shouldn't have come here, the man said to Sophia casually while closing the lid of the tin can and packing up the things around him

Answer me, who the hell are you

The man suddenly rolled over and got out of bed, and this action made Sophia feel like a frightened bird, and she immediately took a step back

Your Highness, please don't be nervous, the man is very relaxed, and Sophia is temporarily relieved, because she didn't feel the slightest hint of murderous aura from the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man's next expression surprised Sophia: he actually knelt down directly and kissed the hem of Sophia's priest's robe

You...... Sophia didn't know what the middle-aged man meant by doing this, this was a knight's highest respect for the royal family, and even ordinary palace ceremonies were rarely seen

Your Royal Highness Princess, please allow the minister to give you the highest praise, maybe this is the last and first time that the minister will perform such a ceremony, the middle-aged man knelt down on one knee and said in a very respectful manner

What the hell are you talking about, who are you, this man's appearance made Sophia curious about his identity, but the long-term training did not make her let down her guard

The middle-aged man didn't say a word, and quickly tore off the gray robe on his body with one hand, to Sophia's surprise, what appeared in front of her was a set of knight's armor that had not been wiped for a long time, a long sword hanging from his waist, and an old blue cloak knight's armor behind the man's back, although it was covered with dust, but it could not hide the shining luster emitted by Mithril, and it could be seen from the luster of Mithril that this was a set of Mithril with a content of 45% The blue mantle depicts the emblem of the former royal family of the Pole Kingdom, the Matan dynasty

You are the royal knight of the Pole Kingdom, Sophia asked

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, he nodded in answer to Sophia's question

But why are you here?

Please listen to the words of Her Royal Highness and leave this place immediately

Why the hell are you The request of the middle-aged man made Sophia scratch her head she was running fast in her brain suddenly something flashed in her mind and sophia couldn t help but cry out in a lost voice is it ...... Are you the ......

As soon as she thought of these things, Sophia immediately jumped back several meters, two short swords crossed in front of her, and put on an extremely tense defensive posture, her forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and the man in front of her made her startled and angry

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this man, and the former Mardans dynasty of the Pole Kingdom had four royal knights before the fall: John Duncan had died in the village of Serre to protect Sophia, the Marquis of Habton had been killed in the war to aid the forest elves in the attack on the orcs, and the old Marshal Olkid Duszk was in the Avenger camp at the edge of the Elven Forest at this time, so the last person left was ......

The princess guessed right, the criminal minister is Alex Mawson, and now he is a guard in this tower, and the middle-aged man said that the criminal minister's family has been stationed in the northern border for a long time, and rarely returns to the capital, so it is not surprising that the princess does not know the criminal minister

Alex Mawson you ...... At this time, Sophia's mind was blank, and the enemy was standing in front of her, but she had a feeling of being overwhelmed, Sophia carefully observed this face, she had never seen Alex Mawson, but she had heard that the Marquis Mawson was a beautiful man with a personable demeanor, but she didn't expect that now it would have become such a decadent appearance, if it weren't for the long sword and knight's armor, which still showed his identity, it was difficult for people to associate him with the word knight

12 years ago, if it weren't for the rebellion of Hansar City 12 years ago, the alliance of the Fayeyer Empire and the Kingdom of St. Olufe would not have been able to enter her country for a long time, and neither would her father and brother be killed. Mawson heard that he had later killed several innocent civilians in his fiefdom, the city of Kavia in the north of the kingdom, and then suddenly disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world

Sophia took a long and deep breath, and then sorted out her feelings: I heard that you disappeared mysteriously after 'serving' the Central Church back then, and no one has found your whereabouts, but I didn't expect you to stay here and become one of the guards of the Tower of Seven Sins, Marquis Mawson, and the treatment that the Central Church gave you is really good

In the face of Sophia's craze, Alex smiled a little embarrassedly, his slightly decadent face twitched, which showed that his mood was extremely uncalm at this time; Sophia was also carefully observing the changes in Alex's expression, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow, just when Alex's gaze turned to the side, Sophia felt that the opportunity had come

Sophia shouted, swinging her dagger and lunging at it, one stabbing Alex in the chest and the other slashing at his neck

However, Alex seemed to have anticipated Sophia's actions, and in a thousandth of a second, he withdrew his discrete gaze, and then changed to a kind of keen gaze that only a warrior has, and then he suddenly stood up and took a step forward - Sophia was very surprised by this result, she couldn't even see how the other party made a move, her two wrists were already firmly controlled, and the royal knight was the royal knight, even if the spirit was on the verge of depression, but its strength was by no means something that Sophia could refer to now

You...... Sophia was shocked and angry, but she didn't know what to do

To Sophia's surprise, Alex didn't seem to have any intention of taking further action, he let go of Sophia's hands, got rid of Sophia's control, and Sophia took a few steps back, but still didn't lift her high alert, although she didn't feel any murderous aura from Alex's eyes

Your Royal Highness Princess, your combat skills have at least reached the level of elite knights, and you can protect yourself, but if you encounter a real strong enemy, Your Highness, you will suffer a big loss, just now you have been staring at the chest and neck of the minister, and anyone with a little combat experience will know what Your Highness wants to do

Less nonsense, Sophia said angrily, at the same time, she jumped forward and launched a second pounce on Alex, and when she was about to get closer, Sophia staggered past Alex on one side of her body, and at the same time the short sword in her left hand wiped Alex's neck, Alex easily dodged, so that Sophia's attack completely failed, Sophia turned around and threw the short sword in her right hand, but Alex did not waste her strength and followed

His Highness's feint attack on my throat was too obvious, but the real attack of throwing the short sword lacked the confidence to win, so it was not strong enough

What the hell are you going to do, Alex didn't take advantage of the situation to pursue, but instead became a combat skill instructor, this unreasonable move made Sophia puzzled

Although in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I, Alex Mawson, am a despicable traitor, but I have long regretted what I did at the beginning, and now all the sinner wants to do is to help Her Royal Highness.
