Caterina didn't even come to her senses when the door that had been locked from the outside was opened, and she had been locked in her room for so long that she had almost lost track of time.

"Your Highness the Princess. The palace attendant who walked in first bowed to Katarina, and the expression on his face was very complicated, showing both some panic and helplessness and sadness.

"Are you going to give me a result?" Caterina didn't even turn her head, her eyes were very hollow, and those eyes that had lost their luster seemed to have lost the vitality that belonged to the eldest princess.

"No, actually......" the court attendant hesitated for a moment, then replied hesitantly, "actually, well, the palace of Tiamat is under attack again. ”

Caterina stared at the night sky outside the window, unresponsive.

"Your Royal Highness, Princess?" called the court attendant, who was very confused by Katarina's calm, "Are you alright?"

"It's Swain, right. Caterina's tone was calm, as if she didn't seem strange at all, "The Tiamat Palace is under his control, and my father has been threatened by Swain to negotiate, even if he is not willing to negotiate. And Swain's condition for accepting the negotiation is me, right? ”

"Yes, yes......" The court attendant couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, and Caterina guessed almost exactly right, "So, please, please ......"

"You want me to negotiate with Swain so that I can relieve my father of his embarrassment and crisis?" Caterina turned her face and stared at the court attendant, her lifeless gaze sending chills down the court's spine inexplicably.

"I refuse. ”

"......" The court attendant's face trembled, and he could barely believe his ears. However, this surprise did not last long, and it occurred to him at once that it was not incomprehensible that Caterina would be resentful of being treated like this by Alexander.

"In any case, please ......" the court attendant hurriedly walked up to Caterina, knelt on one knee and said very earnestly, "Please think about the Count of Giang and the Empire, Count Jericho has already openly rebelled, if no one comes forward, then not only your father, but also your brothers, but also the entire Tiamat Palace and even the people of Deweide will once again be in great danger and suffering, Your Royal Highness Princess, please, please ......"

Caterina stared at the court attendant kneeling in front of her, and that cold gaze lasted for a long time, and the old look gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Oh well. She raised her head and looked down at the other party, "Just take pity on you guys, I'll participate in this negotiation." ”

The court attendant raised his head happily, but the face he saw made his heart feel inexplicably uneasy.

"But not on my father's side. ”

The smile on the face of the court attendant froze.

"I'm on Swain's side, or ......," Caterina grinned, "on my man's side." ”

————————————————

Alexei and Paul were surrounded by the royal guards, and the last loyal guards surrounded them in a circle to protect Alexei and Paul inside. However, they were confronted by far outnumbered Swain soldiers, who in turn surrounded the guards with expressionless faces and terrifying silence.

As for their emperor, Alexander, he was taken on the other side. Now, with the Supreme rope attached, Swain didn't even have the last bit of decency, and Alexander was not only tied to a chair with ropes, but also had several guns ready to be fired at him.

Alexander hung his head as if the strength he had just exerted had exhausted his strength and energy, and the current emperor looked very weak.

"Have you figured out what kind of death you're going to choose?" Alexander's voice was weak, almost like a murmur, but now that the cafeteria was silent, it sounded very clear.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" Sven turned his face and glanced at Alexander.

"Guderian will immediately notice your attack on Tiamat Palace, and the War Office will soon issue an order that you will be dead as soon as the Imperial Capital garrison and the troops of the Western Provinces arrive. ”

Alexander looked up, saying something like this had already exhausted him and panting, and it looked like he had really exhausted his strength.

"So what?" Swain raised his head, but his expressionless face made Alexander feel that it was mocking, "Since you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, are in my hands, what if there are now 100,000 troops outside to surround this palace? ”

Swain lowered his face and moved closer to Alexander's face, his eyes that didn't look like anything and were close at the same time made Alexander inexplicably nervous.

"Except for me. ”

"Despicable pariahs!"

Alexander's sudden outburst, his weak body struggling, as if he was about to bite Swain's neck.

"Rebellious thief! I will let you go to hell, and let your family's name be humiliated and tortured forever in the flames of hell! Jericho, I want you to disappear from this world completely!"

"It's a pity," Swain turned to look at the other side of the restaurant, "it seems that you're in my hands right now, and if it's going to disappear, I'm afraid the roles should be reversed." ”

"Yes, my princess, my dear Karin. ”

Caterina slowly walked into the dining room, and the soldiers who controlled the dining room and the Tiamat Palace immediately made way for her.

She walked over to Swain's side.

"Yes, my knight, my dear Swain. ”

She stood on tiptoe and put her arms around Swain's neck, and in front of her father, Emperor Alexander, and her brothers, Caterina kissed Swain on the lips.

Alexander's face was even more ugly, and he glared at his daughter with a tearful eye, as if he wanted to bite her to death.

"You slut! Sure enough, you slut lured this wolf ambition boy into the house! Don't you want my forgiveness, your filthy and despicable name should be removed from the Gyan family forever!"

"You're confused, father. Caterina stared softly at Swain's face, without any hatred or anger in her tone, "Now we are the victors. ”

"your victory! your ugly plot will be forever laughed at by the world, and your name will become the most vicious curse in the world, and you will not die well!"

"Shut him up. Swain gave orders to his soldiers with a blank face.

The silent soldiers faithfully carried out his orders, even if it was the emperor, they did not hesitate for a moment, decisively gave Alexander's belly a hard blow with the butt of their rifles, and then gagged him with strips of cloth.

In a fit of rage, Alexander struggled, but all he could do was make a muffled roar.

"I know you have a lot to say right now, but now is not the time. Swain touched Katerina's head, her expression unchanged, and there was no trace of tenderness in her eyes.

Caterina stood obediently behind Swain, and now no one could read the light in her eyes.

"Now, let's start negotiating. ”

Swain walked over to Alexei and Paul, who were under the close protection of the royal guards.

"Surrender, or let me be humiliated and then captured?"

Paul couldn't help but shrink his neck, and now Sven's face was a demonic look in his eyes.

Alexei was equally afraid of Swain, but he knew that now he had to take on the responsibility of his prince and brother to protect his father and brother.

"You—don't think that your ambitions will succeed, I—we're not going to surrender!" Alexei said in a trembling voice, and although he tried to restrain the fear in his heart, he couldn't help but show quite a lot of fear.

Sven shook his head and sighed. "Then I'll have to humiliate you. ”

He waved his hand casually.

"Grab it. ”

Alexei subconsciously looked at his sister Katarina, but at this time Katerina was not looking at them at all, her attention was all on Swain.

"I'm sorry, Count Jericho, but I think you should think twice about it. ”

The sound of the voice in the restaurant drew everyone's attention, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the corner of the restaurant in unison. Sven frowned as he reached his waist with his hand.

"Should I say hello to you at this time?" Swain pushed away the soldier who was blocking his view and walked towards the corner where the voice came from, "Mr. Thresy Dakosda?"

Swain looked up and saw that Thresy was leaning against a corner of the dining room, hidden behind the shadows of the columns, and no one had noticed his presence beforehand.

"Hello, Count Jericho. Thresy lifted the brim of her hat and greeted Swain politely.

"Hello, Mr. Dacosda. Swain replied with a blank face, "And then, goodbye, Mr. Dacosda." ”

He drew his gun, aiming it at Dakosda's eyebrows.

"Bang"

Swain didn't pull the trigger without any hesitation, he didn't give Thresidor the time and opportunity to say a word.

"You're not going to hear what he has to say?" Caterina followed Swain, glancing at the corpse in the pool of blood, her face equally expressionless.

"Losers die of talking. Sven put away his gun and turned his head to look at Alexei again.

However, when he looked back, he saw several strange people appearing next to Alexei and Paul.

"Indeed, losers die of talking too much. But how can I give up the temptation when I have this opportunity to humiliate my opponent as a victor?" Thressi's corpse rose from the ground, smiling, even though there was a hole in his brow.

Half of Swain's men turned their guns on him.

"And, it seems to me, didn't you just now also take great pleasure in humiliating His Majesty the Emperor?" was pointed at the gun, and Seresy did not have the slightest fear, and even the smile on his face became a little bigger.

"So, I hate you undead the most. Swain walked up to Thressi with heavy steps, "Your attitude is always annoying, and you guys are too self-righteous to be you, and Manfred. ”

"Please don't compare me with a fool like Manfred, the poor man who has long since given up his freedom, so he has no salvation. Thresy leaned her face up and smiled at Swain's indifference, "It's you, we imagine it more, don't you?" and the undead you hate include yourself. ”

Sven punched Thressi in the face, knocking his nose crooked.

And the few peculiar people who appeared next to Alexei just now did not say anything about it, and still watched all this jokingly.

"Then I warn you: don't compare me to a fool like you. Swain tugged at Thressi's face and tore it off little by little. Thresi's face was like a mask, and not only was it easy for Sven to tear it off, but it was not flesh and blood that was hidden under the skin, but eerie white bones.

Half of Thresi's face had been ripped off by Swain, and his face was usually human, half skeleton, so frightened that Paul closed his eyes tightly, and Alexei did not dare to look at him.

"No, even if you don't want to, but that's the way it is. ”

"The last heir of the Thirteen Knights. ”
