Meanwhile.

In the streets of Kost, a figure wrapped in the light was speeding in the direction of the docks.

"Stop!

Not far behind the figure, several mages were in hot pursuit, and it was Joanna who was the leader. Clusters of flames burst out of the flaming wings behind her like bullets, aiming at the fleeing figure of the Holy Light.

However, the figure was even faster than the mages, and it dodged Joanna's attacks by dodging them diagonally.

"Hmph...... Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" the figure in the light turned his head and glanced contemptuously at the mages. However, he looked at the fainting girl in his arms again, and did not stop to fight back, but increased his flight speed, like a meteor, and continued to fly in the direction of the dock.

The distance between the mages and him was gradually widened.

Seeing this, Joanna clenched her fists unwillingly.

"Damn......"

In the blink of an eye, they chased them to Koster's docks. The pier is connected to the boundless sea, and the rows of soldiers are still busy checking the entry and exit of the ships before they know what is happening. A huge runic defensive array covers the edge of the coastline, where a mage stands guard and is responsible for opening passages for ships and personnel who pass through and letting them in and out.

Most of them were stunned when the figure rushed towards them wrapped in the light. The Guard Mage stood up from his seat and asked sharply, "Who? Stop!"

The mysterious figure didn't answer, but slammed straight into the rune defense array.

Seeing this, the guard mage subconsciously used his flying technique, ready to perform his duty and stop this uninvited guest. Joanna, who was in the distance, saw this scene and hurriedly shouted: "Get out of the way! You can't stop him! That person is the Pope!"

The clear sound reached everyone's ears, and everyone was startled.

The guard mage immediately stopped.

And at this moment, the figure in the holy light, that is, Grant, has rushed to the junction at this moment. As he flew as he ranched, he stretched out his hand, and suddenly he threw out a large cross. The cross was scattered on top of the barrier, and it exploded violently, throwing a piece of fat from a hot oil pan, making a sizzling noise, and the small piece of the barrier fluctuated violently.

Immediately after, a small hole was blown out of the barrier, and Grant slipped out of the hole and disappeared into the vast sea.

Joanna and the others chased after them, but in the end, they stopped at the edge of the rune defense array. They looked at the empty sea through the small opening, which had disappeared at this moment, searched for a long time, shook their heads, and showed an unwilling expression.

Or let him run away......

The entire dock was silent, and the soldiers looked at each other, a little at a loss for a while. The passers-by who were about to enter and exit were even more confused, looking at the direction in which Grant disappeared, and vaguely felt as if they had bumped into something that should not be bumped into.

"What's the matter, Has Her Highness the Princess been taken away by him?"

At this moment, Benjamin's voice suddenly came from above. Joanna and the others hurriedly looked up, and when they saw that it was him, they all showed guilty looks.

He ...... Dean, I'm sorry, we didn't keep him, and we didn't protect the princess. They lowered their heads, and Joanna said a little discouraged.

When Benjamin heard this, he looked along the dock, and there were still some traces of light elemental movements in the air. However, as they continued to move forward, after entering the ocean, these traces were completely washed away by the majestic water element, and they could not be found at all.

He was also unable to track the direction in which Grant had fled.

Therefore, retracting his gaze, he sighed, turned his head to the mages and said, "Forget it, you will definitely not be able to stop him if he wants to make a move." You can't be blamed for this. ”

"But ......"

"Don't think about it, go back. Her Royal Highness the princess, I will find a way to solve it. Benjamin patted Joanna on the shoulder and said. Although the mages were unwilling, after listening to this, they could only nod and leave the dock with Benjamin.

The docks are calm again, but the people on the docks are still not calm. The soldiers took a deep breath, tried to regain their composure, and continued the previous entry and exit checks, while the people who came and went could not stop whispering, presumably in a few days, the scene just now would spread throughout the country and into the ears of everyone who cared about it.

- If the Dark Nightmare aren't prepared to block the news.

In fact, upon returning to City Hall, Benjamin immediately rejected Morris's suggestion to "block the news".

"But...... If this news gets out, it will definitely be bad for us. Morris continued, "People will question the strength of the Black Nightmare Army, and they will also question the safety of the rune defense array, all of which is a big blow to our rising prestige. ”

"We're not a church, can we seal it like a seal when the news gets out?" Benjamin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have other plans." ”

With that, he turned and entered his dedicated office, leaving Morris in the hall with a confused expression.

Five minutes later, the two siblings, who were proficient in chanting, were approached.

"Master Mage, I just heard that Her Royal Highness was kidnapped by the people of the Church?" asked the girl as soon as she entered. However, the strange thing is that the expressions on the faces of the two siblings are very calm, maybe a little surprised, but there is not much panic in sight.

Benjamin nodded with a cold face.

"That'...... Isn't it time for us to do it?" asked the boy again.

Benjamin didn't speak, but nodded.

So, the two siblings also nodded understandingly, didn't say a word, and turned around and left the office.

That night, rumors flew around the kingdom of Horry. Most of it was about the king's funeral this morning, but the "vignette" that happened on the dockside in the afternoon also quietly spread like ripples on the surface of the lake, and became a topic of endless conversation. The princess only appeared at the funeral in the morning, and ...... in the afternoon At first listen, almost no one wants to believe such a dramatic plot, but the vivid details in the story also make them have to seriously consider it.

Everyone wanted to know, where is Her Royal Highness now, and has she really been taken away by the church?

Normally, such rumors take a long time to be verified, such as the cause of the king's death, after such a long time, until today it is really revealed. This time, however, somewhat unexpectedly, the rumor was confirmed very early.

- The next morning, someone saw the maid weeping bitterly and the princess hanging at the door of the palace in Havenley.

According to the maid, the princess had been crying since she was rescued, was depressed, refused to eat, and was always muttering words like "Father". She took care of the princess until late at night, and when she finally put her to sleep, she leaned against the wall and squinted for a while. And when she woke up again, the princess on the bed was gone.

No one knows how the princess got past the guards and ran to the palace gate, or why the little girl, who was only a few years old, had suicidal thoughts in her head, but ...... And so it happened.

The maid's heart-rending weeping resounded like a crow in the inner city, and the soldiers panicked and awoke from their sleep. In the early morning drizzle, the people of the royal capital witnessed the scene—the princess hung like a pendulum at the palace gate, her messy but still beautiful blonde hair, and her tongue sticking out.
