Kingdom of Pole, Hansar City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Royal Palace.

The friends are messing around, causing a lot of trouble for Queen Catherine.

It wasn't until midnight that all the ministers who used the day's events to find fault were all dismissed. The dignified queen didn't even have time to eat, and she dragged her very tired body back to her bedroom.

After reprimanding the maid, Catherine saw a pink bow hanging on the doorknob outside the dormitory. Catherine understood that it was her daughter, Princess Dieucalyptus, waiting for her mother in the dormitory. Originally, Catherine promised her daughter that she would squeeze out some time to accompany her to the city in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and this vow could not be fulfilled in the end.

But although the mother missed the appointment, the daughter was not disappointed, otherwise she would have stayed here forever. However, it was already so late, and my daughter should have already fallen asleep.

Thinking of this, Queen Catherine gently pushed open the door, trying not to alarm her daughter.

However, as soon as she entered the house, Catherine immediately became alert!

Because of the long-term training, she immediately noticed the sound of two people breathing in the room. One of them was undoubtedly her daughter, Di Yu, and was breathing evenly and gently, so that she could be judged to be asleep, while the other was an adult.

And the positions of the two are very close.

Catherine immediately ruled out the possibility that this person was the nanny who took care of Di Yu's daily life, because she could tell from the person's breathing rate that the other person was a trained martial artist.

Who is this person, friend or foe?

Catherine felt a deep horror in her heart. She immediately wondered if this person was Princess Sophia or her companions, but Catherine quickly dismissed the possibility. Then all sorts of dangerous speculations about the identity of this man passed through Catherine's mind—the Central See, the Truth Society, the ministers who opposed her in the country, the rebels among the Restoration?

Regardless of the identity of the other party, Catherine judged that her daughter's safety was seriously threatened, and immediately activated the flying sword hidden under her skirt.

Sticking to the enemy, Catherine crept into the house, not daring to turn on the light, and could only move slowly in the dark by relying on her memory. Catherine broke out in a cold sweat as she cautiously approached her bed. Through the two layers of veil, Catherkai could faintly discern a vague dark figure standing in front of his bed by the faint moonlight outside the window. Although it is not clear to see, it can still be judged from its outline that the other party should be a muscular adult male.

After reaching the range of the flying sword's attack, Catherine did not hesitate, and immediately urged the magic power and ordered the flying sword to attack.

However, the intruder seemed to have sensed Catherine's approach, and at the same time as the 12 flying swords were flying, he swung a long weapon at a very fast speed, only to hear a few metal strikes, and the first 4 flying swords were all blocked.

Before Catherine could be surprised, the intruder suddenly spoke, "Shhhh ”

“？！”

Catherine was stunned, and the remaining 8 flying swords all stopped in mid-air, and then due to the loss of control of the magic power, the flying swords fell to the ground one after another, making a "swaying" sound.

Even though it had been a long time since they had been separated, Catherine immediately recognized who the voice was and her mind went blank.

At this time, the "intruder" took the initiative to light the lights.

Although she was dressed in civilian clothes, her body was much thinner than before, and her beard was scruffy and she looked older, but Catherine could not be mistaken, and no woman would mistake the person she loved most.

Catherine, who was stunned, was speechless for a long time, and it was not until she came back to her senses that she pounced, hugged the man, buried her head in his chest, and sobbed softly.

Only that reassuring chest is qualified for her to vent all the pressures she has endured in the past few months.

"Alright. If you continue like this, you will wake up your daughter. King Duris, who had returned secretly, gently patted his wife on the back.

Looking sideways at the bed, I saw that Princess Di Yu seemed to be alarmed by the movement made by her parents, moved her hands and feet a few times, turned over, and then continued to sleep soundly.

Catherine felt an indescribable warmth in her heart, and she struggled to control her voice and smiled, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around her husband's waist, and her head did not leave his shoulders.

"Your Highness, I hear a noise inside, is something happening?"

At this warm moment of family reunion, the untimely shout of the chief of the guard came from outside the door. Last night, Sacolos had only had a tainted record of dereliction of duty, and he didn't want it to happen a second time, so the slightest hint of trouble on the queen's side would immediately tug at his nerves.

Duris gently pushed his wife away, shook his head at her, and looked in the direction of the door. Catherine immediately understood what her husband meant.

Sakoros, who hadn't received an answer for a long time, couldn't help but get nervous in his heart. He was about to break down when the door to the dormitory suddenly opened.

"Shh......h

Catherine, standing in the doorway, held the candlestick in her left hand and put her index finger on her lips with her right hand to make a "please be quiet" gesture.

"Your Highness, you ...... just now"

"Be soft, the princess is sleeping inside. ”

"Uh...... Please forgive your sins. The minister just heard a voice inside. ”

"Yes. I accidentally knocked over some utensils. ”

I see, it seems that I have been guilty of too much. ”

"Well, Sakoros, it's nothing special, you can go back and rest first. Tomorrow there are more important tasks for you. ”

......

After dismissing the chief guard, Catherine closed the door and locked it inside. She turned to her husband and shook her head helplessly, "Why don't you let your knight know that you're back?"

Instead of answering, he sat down on the bed and reached out to caress the little girl's pink cheek.

"She's lost weight. Duris said distressedly.

"Yes. We owe her so much. Catherine went back to bedside, took her husband's hand and sat down, looking tenderly at her daughter on the bed.

Duris patted the back of his wife's hand. He didn't say much, just silently covered his daughter with the quilt that she rubbed off.

Compared with the short-lived warmth of the Hansar City Palace, Smoneton, the capital of the West Lothi Kingdom in the north, fell into fear, misery, and hesitation.

The assassination of all members of the royal family caused a night of rumor and devotion to the city, but greater fears were to come. Where will the Kingdom of Xiluofei, which has lost its royal family, go from here?

On the outskirts of the city, a spa in a less lively location seems to have been completely unaffected by the riots in the city. The club was completely enclosed by a merchant group from the south, still immersed in tranquility and comfort.

In the early morning, in one of the most luxurious rooms of the guild hall, a slender man with bony bones and high cheekbones was sitting comfortably in a soft leather chair.

His eyes were full of the sharpness, tactfulness, and greed that a businessman should have, while the solemnity, solemnity, and rigidity of the former clergy had long since disappeared.

Holding a cane in his right hand, Mukasha looked at the men and women standing in front of him with a smirk.

"You have been lurking in the business network of the Silo Fei royal family for some time, and now that the royal family is no longer the boss behind the scenes, you should know better than me what to do next. I have only one request: if I can take over the business within my scope, I should strive for it in my own quantity, and if I can't take over, I must completely destroy it. Do you understand?" said Mukasha, clearly and succinctly.

The few people who stood before him to receive the instruction all nodded their heads in unison, but no one said anything. Because they are currently in the underground, they must quietly return to their public posts during the day and continue to complete their "work".

This is the fundamental reason why the royal family of the Xiluo Fei Kingdom was wiped out overnight. It is not because the royal family does not heed the advice and insists on starting a drug business, but because they have opened up a poppy market that is completely independent of the control of the Truth Society - that is, they have taken a large piece of the cake of the Truth Society in the field of drug profits - and this alone will make the royal family of Xilopino indispensable.

At this moment, there were some slight footsteps outside the door. Someone is approaching this luxurious room.

"Go for it. Mukasha waved his hand slightly, and he had nothing more to explain.

All of the Truth Society spies standing in front of him, as they had done when they entered, left the back door of the room one by one.

When the room was completely empty, Mukasha got up from his chair, walked to the door with his cane, and opened it.

I saw three girls in bathrobes standing outside the door.

"Ahem...... I'm back, ahem...... Good. However, cough ...... Why just the three of you?"

A minute earlier, the sharpness and fluency with which he had spoken to those commercial spies had long since vanished, and within a single step, Mukasha had reverted back to the sick look he had when he was in the lab, and even a short sentence was broken by constant coughing.

"Four other companions were leading the pursuers inside and outside the city. The girl standing in the middle replied.

"It's good to be back. Attention, cough ...... Stay safe. Ahem......"

For such a way of communication with Mukasha, the girl standing in the middle, Jana, has long been tired of it. She stepped forward and asked in an angry tone, "The person you asked me to kill is dead." But none of them were the ones who were drawing. Are you cheating on me?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

Jana's answer was a series of dry coughs.

After about half a minute, Mukasha barely cleared his breath, and by this time, Jana and the other three had already shown impatient faces. But Mukasha ignored Jana's grievances, and walked over to her, lifted his cane, lifted her bathrobe, and poked at the fresh scar on her stomach.

Blood seeped from the scars, and Jaina looked very pained, but she was very stubborn and stoic, and she would never spit out a half-snort in front of this man who made her feel disgusting.

"Unfortunately, you have not fully inherited your brother's abilities. Mukasha shook his head and said with regret.

Then, without any response to Jana's questioning, he turned and walked into the room, saying slowly as he went, "Ahem...... Come in and talk about it. You're alone. Ahem......"

Without waiting for Jana's consent, his cough had disappeared into the shadows of the room.

"Jana, this bastard is teasing you!"

"Kill him. ”

The two indignant companions made their advice to Jana.

"Stay outside and do not act rashly. Jaina replied in an unusually calm tone.

Then, she re-tied the straps of her bathrobe and stepped into the luxurious room.

"Bang" - the door is locked from the inside.
