"Chaos is spreading. ”

Sophia turned her head to look at Swain, who was sitting on the throne of Midletus I.

"Yes, brother. ”

Sven sighed, and now he finally had a lot of expression on his face, but this expression only exposed the weakness that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

There was a softness and cowardice in his lowered eyes that had appeared on Sven's face from the outside, but it was difficult to know what made him cowardly.

"Are you worried?" Sophia naturally noticed her brother's appearance, she walked over, sat on Swain's lap, and gently stroked the face, "There's nothing to worry about, when we get back to Midnight Castle, there's nothing to worry about." ”

"No, that's not what I'm worried about. Sven sighed lightly, and reached out to touch his sister's pretty face, "What else in this world is worth my concern, what else is worth worrying about? ”

"As long as we're together, it's enough. Sophia meekly bowed her head on her brother's chest, quietly enjoying the moment, "All I need is my brother's company is enough." ”

Sven sighed again, put his arm around his sister's shoulder, and remained silent.

He unleashed this chaos with his own hands, in a vain attempt to use the power of chaos to fight against the curse imposed on the Jericho clan by Atropos, but at this moment, the chaos he released with his own hands was the first to erode his sister who had always cherished the most.

Perhaps, this has long been in Atropos's calculations, perhaps, this is the fate that Jericho has never been able to violate, in the face of a true omniscient and omnipotent will, how can a man's strength oppose it?

Therefore, now, Swain can only give up struggle and resistance, and surrender to fate, otherwise, can he still confront his favorite sister?

Sophia, who was snuggled in her brother's arms, forced her eyes with a happy smile on her face, but she immediately opened her eyes, as if sensing something.

"Brother, Her Highness Caterina is heading this way, do you want to meet her?"

Sven lowered his head, still a little stunned, and it took a while to come to his senses.

"Yes, she's coming...... Although he once promised her like that, but now that the situation has become like this, he can probably only say sorry to her. ”

Swain sighed repeatedly, his brow full of sorrow.

"Chaos will soon spread to the whole city, and then turn back to spread to the entire empire, there will be no pure land left in the world, order and rules will be distorted, and at that time, there will be no empire at all——"

Sophia looked at her brother's face and blinked her beautiful eyes.

"But, sir, isn't that what you wanted?

"I expected ...... Indeed, I used to expect that......" Swain seemed to be sighing all the time, and the melancholy in his chest had overwhelmed his heart to bear the bitterness, "Now I really understand the meaning of that sentence, a person, do you really know what he wants?"

"All I know is that the only thing I want is to be by your side and be with you. ”

Sophia's eyelashes trembled, and her gentle eyes revealed an unshakable resoluteness.

"It's the only dream I want, a dream to achieve at any cost. ”

"You've made that dream come true. Swain kissed his sister's forehead, "Whether it is in the past, or in the present, or in the future, I will always stay by your side, don't worry, I will never leave you." ”

He raised his eyes and looked at the painted murals on the ceiling of the Imperial Hall, not only did he feel a little ironic, but it was an extremely ironic thing that so many evils had been unleashed in this sacred place full of heavenly scenes.

However, if Chaos is evil, I don't know if Chaos itself agrees with this name.

The barrier that surrounded the Imperial Hall began to retreat, and to be precise, the barrier expanded. Thressi has polluted the Imperial Hall and the throne of Midletus I, turning the magic of the Noble Phantasmas that defended the royal family of Gion into an accomplice in spreading chaos. Now, where the edge of this barrier has reached, that is, where chaos has eroded, after so long, I am afraid that the scope of chaos spreading has long exceeded the boundaries of Tiamat Palace, and has covered most of Deweide.

Swain patted his sister on the shoulder, then stood up and prepared to walk outside, he had to face the fact that he had created this situation.

As he walked past the unconscious little prince Yolo by his throne, Sven glanced at him. The little prince was innocently involved in this chaos, and although it was not his fault, he could not escape this fate.

"In this inevitable and accidental catastrophe, who can escape the poisonous hand of fate?"

Swain muttered, he remembered Thressi's words, if he didn't know what the future would look like, who could deny the existence of fate?

Didn't even himself, at the last moment, surrender to fate?

Stepping out of the gates of the Imperial Hall, Swain stood on the high steps, looking at the bustling guards in front of him, and took a deep breath, inhaling the residual smell of gunpowder from the night into his lungs.

"There's no one left to stop it...... No one can stop Chaos from ruling the world. ”

——————————————————

When the first rays of dawn rose, the city was no longer vibrant, and the chaos of the night did not fade with the night, but began to burn with the light.

The princess who had not slept all night had no sparkle on her face, and there was only deep tiredness in her originally wise and strong eyes, and a few hours earlier, Artemis had told her that Alexander had killed Alexei and Paul, and that Lesson Thirteen had to shoot the emperor to death, who had fallen into madness. But the madness was not contained, and the nobles who witnessed this scene fell into even more chaos, and it was these guys who desperately tried to escape from Tiamat Palace for their own safety, which caused even more chaos inside the castle.

Now, the princess has only half of Tiamat's palace under her control, and the city outside is already occupied by frightened citizens and thugs who take advantage of the situation, and she really can't control the situation.

No, in fact, she still had this opportunity, but unfortunately, the person she was able to rely on to control the situation was also defeated by Chaos and fell into the decadence.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" Ramrem approached Princess Celestia with a tray, and even now the maid maintained that strict manner.

"Okay, excuse me. Caterina smiled reluctantly, but the tiredness in the corners of her eyes could not hide the confusion in her heart.

Ramrem Meiyu said anything, just silently made a cup of black tea for her.

Victoria, who was sitting by the window, stared blankly at the scene, probably more confused than Caterina now. Victoria is not a strong person, she is used to being spoiled by her parents, so by now, she can hardly withstand such a blow.

Lady Jane's condition had deteriorated even more last night, and she had lost so many memories that even Victoria could barely recognize them, and this morning, the innocent and lovely lady could no longer remember the name of her dream.

Victoria couldn't help her mother with anything, and now she could do nothing but taste her sorrow in silence?

"Where's Sven?" Probably unable to bear the silence, Caterina found a topic she didn't want to talk about.

Ramrem stared at the tea intently, and replied in a flat tone: "The cabinet is still discussing countermeasures, but His Excellency the Earl can't make up his mind, so their meeting has not ended yet." ”

Caterina couldn't help but sigh, after last night, Swain seemed to have completely lost his decision, there was no way to solve the immediate dilemma, and he was not able to make long-term plans, and the cabinet ministers had their own opinions, the meeting was a complete chaos, and Caterina did not even attend the meeting.

"This empire...... No, what will the world become?"

She couldn't help but mumble to herself.

"Your Highness......"

Just as Caterina was talking to herself, an ugly Attemis walked in, and a man was behind her.

"Jan No. Darres!"

Ramrem couldn't help but scream, she couldn't hold on to her composure just now, and even the tray in her hand fell to the ground.

"Hats off,"

A slight smile appeared on Yang's face, with a faint smug smile.

"Her Royal Highness Caterina. ”

"I hope you can give a good enough reason, Artmis. Caterina didn't look at Young, her eyes only stayed on Atmis, "Why is Mr. Dareth here?

"Your Highness......"

In fact, I encouraged her to do so. Before Artemis could reply, Yang opened his mouth, "However, I remember that you have long hated His Majesty Alexander, and you have even treated him like that, do you still care whether he lives or dies?"

"Mr. Darez," Celestia rose from her seat, looking at the extremely uncalm magician named Ramrem, and Caterina looked calm, "who do you think we're talking about? You just said the name of the Emperor, and I don't hear any respect in your tone. ”

"Yes, an honorable and respectable name for the Empire. Yang smiled, still looking very relaxed, "But that was once, the current empire, and it is no longer even a city-state, Your Highness, can you still get out of this Tiamat Palace with your current order?"

Caterina pursed her lips, although she didn't want to admit it, Yang was really right, now the chaos in the imperial capital couldn't be controlled at all, and she couldn't even contact Baron O'Brien, who was stationed in the western suburbs.

"So, I'm here to bring you the latest news about the current state of affairs facing this empire. Yang still smiled, "You should be curious to know, right?"

Caterina was silent, but silence was actually an attitude, and she really wanted to know what was going on outside the current imperial capital.

"Jericho, in order to break free from his bondage, attempts to evade Atropos by escaping into chaos, after all, as a combination of human consciousness, Atropos is an order in itself. Young sat down as if this were his palace, "However, Jericho was still too self-righteous to see the nature of Atropos and what chaos was. He unleashed Chaos, but that didn't hit Atropos, he himself fell first. ”

"What do you mean?" Caterina frowned, waiting for Yang's answer.

"Atropos does represent some kind of order, that's true, but that doesn't mean Atropos has nothing to do with chaos. Order and chaos, that is light and shadow, like good and evil, Atropos is the aggregate of human consciousness, the consciousness of one consciousness. And how are human beings mere creatures of order? We can't just be trapped in the immutable law of order, no one can stand that, we need a little stimulation! The same goes for Atropos. ”

A mocking smile tugged at the corners of Yang's mouth.

"So, Jericho who escaped into the chaos is actually throwing himself into the net!"
