One Ella, Ella.

How could I forget you?

Sophia looked into Ella's surprised eyes, and the scene before her suddenly rewind to that night nine years ago. She could hear her pounding heartbeat and the panting of breath.

Nine years ago, late at night—

Young Ella ran down the street out of breath, dragging Sophia, who was half a head taller than her, and she didn't even have time to lower her head to catch her breath. The people who pursued them were everywhere, and the torches in the hands of the people illuminated the entire imperial capital, rendering everything as if it were day.

Ella has seen the madness of people firsthand, and she understands what fate will happen to her and Sophia if they stop.

Sophia was also out of breath, but she looked curiously to the left and right as she ran.

Houses with similar structures, intricate alleys, and many paths in front of the doors were filled with swill, which froze and solidified into a black solid in the cold environment of the imperial capital. Every door was closed, and at the sound of the turmoil outside, the civilians turned off their lights, pretending that no one was home.

It was the first time she had seen the imperial capital so closely, not in a carriage, and without the guards around her who separated her from the crowd - separated by a wall, but connected by two worlds that could not be more different. And she heard that in this world, people do not have enough to eat, and they are plagued by harsh winters, and she naively thought that through her own negotiations, the two sides can finally reach a consensus, but she did not expect that before she could say a few words to Canor, the rebels came to her door.

"What are you looking at, don't be lazy, speed up!" Ella looked back at Sophia's graceful expression, and suddenly became angry.

Canor's life and death are uncertain, and this princess even admires the scenery on the street.

"Got it...... By the way, what's your name?" asked Sophia kindly.

But soon, Sophia's question was interrupted by the shouts of the rebels:

"They're over there!"

"I see them, chase them!"

"If we catch the 'Princess', we will have bargaining chips with Henry's thief!"

"I've heard that 'Princess' is a rare beauty. ”

Torches and swords were wielded in their hands, and their faces were twisted smiles, and there were a few of Ella's acquaintances in the procession. They had gone completely insane, hunger and cold had pushed them into the abyss of madness, their smiles were like beasts seeing their prey, and their fanatical cries seemed to be preparing for a feast.

A murderous feast.

In just one night, the usually high-spirited nobles were dragged out of the manor, crying and shouting, and some of those who tried to escape were betrayed by the servants and blocked by the rebels on the road to the palace.

Now it's their turn.

Ella felt that these madmen would never estimate Canor's face and let them go.

Although her hands trembled in fear, she mustered up the courage to drag Sophia behind the trash buckets. The moment she hid inside, the fear and despair in her heart climbed to the point of no return—it was a dead end.

She wasn't familiar with the neighborhood for a long time, and after scurrying through the alleys, she was finally cornered.

The two of them huddled together in a small space, the dim moonlight shining through the gaps. They could hear each other's heartbeats, and Ella turned her head to look at Sophia, seeing that the other was staring at her with curiosity.

Princess, we are dead.

In any case, she couldn't say anything like that to Sophia.

"You're so brave!" After a long time, Sophia whispered out such a sentence: "If I were the only one, I'm afraid I would have been so scared that my feet would tremble and I couldn't open my legs, right?"

"Now you know you're scared?" Ella's tone was full of disdain.

A willful and ignorant little girl like Sophia would never survive more than a week in the slums! She couldn't understand Sophia's decision very much, why such a pampered eldest lady in the deep palace would escape under such a dangerous situation. You must know that now the nobles outside the city sharpened their heads and wanted to flee into the royal city to seek protection from the royal army, but those who didn't have time to escape hid, and those who didn't have time to escape were all killed by the rebels.

"I'm so scared!"

Sophia's bright smile was a little harsh in Ella's eyes.

There was no fear in her tone.

The footsteps chasing them gradually stopped, and the rebels who pursued them rushed into the dead end.

"But when I ran away with you, I didn't feel so scared...... Whew, that's so exciting!"

"Shh

Ella hurriedly reached out and covered Sophia's mouth.

The rebels were outside, and they couldn't make a sound. And even if they held their breath, they would have to resign themselves to fate.

"I have an older brother, and a younger brother!" Sophia broke free of Ella's hand, lowered her voice, and said in a voice that was only the two of them, "My brother is a boring person, he always follows his father and rarely plays with us, and my brother is a persistent fool who knows how to practice swords all day long! Everyone in the palace is very rigid, and this is the first time that anyone is willing to go crazy with me!"

"Whoever goes crazy with you is going to kill us!" Ella let out a voice as she couldn't control her temper for a moment.

After realizing that something was wrong, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Thank you, by the way, you haven't told me your name yet!"

Ella was silent for a long time before she said angrily, "Ella." ”

"Ala, Ella! I remember. ”

"Over there, I hear a voice over there!"

The rebel's voice sounded again: "Those two little girlies must have been hiding in the bucket!"

It's all your fault!

Ella glared at Sophia in horror and anger.

"Ella, hide here and don't go out!" Sophia said with a smile.

"What are you going to do?"

Soon, Sophia answered her doubts with practical actions. She felt a sharp object from the trash can, and as the rebels' footsteps stopped in front of the bucket, she jerked open the lid of the bucket and threw the sharp object in her hand into the man's face.

"My eyes!"

The splatters of blood seemed to stop in the air, and Sophia jumped out of the bucket, and with a hard push, the man with the injured eye fell to the ground.

"Big fools, I'm here, come after me!"

Then, she heard Sophia's voice.

Ella felt a chill on her face, and sticky blood splattered on her face.

......

At this moment, Sophia's dormitory.

Ella's pupils dilated, and before she could react, the claws of the monster behind Sophia had already torn the princess's right shoulder, and blood splattered on her face as it had then. Even Phoenix, Bibab, and Zultan were stunned at the same time, and the A-class monster suddenly went berserk, and it turned blood red at some point.

Zultan has seen this kind of sight.

In the experiments of the Musa Consortium, there will also be some cases of failure, and monsters that cannot withstand the torture of potions will fall into this state of madness.

But......

Obviously, the monster's mood was still in a stable state a second ago.

After the monster pulled out its claws, Sophia's body fell into Ella's arms.

At the same time, in the north, the Musa consortium research institute.

Cyndora stood in the snow, a crystal hanging over her chest.

She glanced at the reflection of the crystal, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She said to herself, "Didn't I warn you in advance? These monsters are all carrying 'epidemics', and they may go berserk and attack humans at any time." ”

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Cyndora crushed the crystal on her chest, and said without looking back: "Melia, you came just in time, the person you are looking for is in the palace, act, you can go to her now." ”

All I can say is sorry, Eric.

As you said, the times have changed, and I'm ......

There's no kung fu left to play monster raising games with you.
