Have you ever thought that everything you have experienced and witnessed is false, and that what you believe in is nothing but a seamless lie?

The Rook Assassin looked Albert in the eye, and he gradually found a sense in the conversation, and after witnessing Albert's expression, he finally understood Lady Sindora's intentions, as she had said when she had trained them, that the most cruel way to deal with their enemies was not to tear their flesh apart with a sword, but to break their faith.

As Albert said, it was a big gamble, but he wouldn't be so stupid as to tell everything he knew, and eighty percent of the details of the most perfect lie were true, and he only had to work on the details. The Crow Assassin smiled and said, "You guessed right, although we would have liked to, it is true that the rebellion nine years ago had nothing to do with us, but the person with the same mark has long infiltrated the palace inside, he could be your maid, your butler, your bodyguard, he could be anyone, brewing the conspiracy that your heart fears anywhere." ”

That's his answer to the first question.

They were merely Assassins in the service of Lady Sindora, who had selected them from their own people and given them great power, but elaborate plans such as seditions were not for them to participate in, just as nine years later, the Rook Assassins' mission was straightforward - to assassinate the descendants of the three Henrys, which was the promise that Sindora had made when she chose them.

They are an essential part of the plan, but they are not the whole story.

"The first question is over. He reminded Albert.

Albert nodded.

The Crow's words confirmed his suspicions that Sophia had indeed been lured out of the royal city, and it was likely that they had been part of the incitement to rebellion.

As he spoke, his index finger tugged at the pendant on his chest again, and the silver-white barrier darkened again, and the room almost returned to its usual temperature. The Crow Assassin showed a palpable eagerness - he knew he was on the verge of victory, this was his first gamble, but he had a strong premonition that he would be a winner.

"Second question. ”

This time, it was he who urged Albert.

"Second question......"

......

On the other side, Sophia's dormitory.

It was eerily quiet outside the fire, and it wasn't long before Ella heard footsteps fading away. Phoenix seemed to be gone, she couldn't hear what was happening outside the door, and after Phoenix left, it seemed that the Assassins' offensive had stopped, at least they didn't see the people covered in fire trying to leap through the flames, the visual impact was too strong.

"Your Highness Sophia, Your Highness Sophia, are you alright?"

It's just that the butler's incessant call is really annoying in this situation. The old man was a symbol of care, and even after the court physician had clearly informed him that the time had not yet come for Princess Sophia's awakening, he called Sophia's name over and over again, trying to awaken her consciousness in this way.

"I don't think it's the physical injuries that are preventing her from waking up, there may be some hidden illness in Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Hidden disease?"

The doctor's bad news shocked the old butler.

But he couldn't think of anything other than repeating useless calls.

"Sophia, Sophia, you get up, the doctor has said you're all right!" Ella pushed the old butler away with some irritation, her five fingers clasped tightly on Sophia's shoulder. She didn't know where her nameless fire came from, maybe it was the threat from the outside world that disturbed her mind, or maybe she was simply annoyed by the voice of the butler chanting.

"Sophia!"

......

Nine years ago, on the eve of the cold winter moon, a blizzard fell.

Even with a thick blanket in this weather, Ella could still feel the cold to the bone. But in addition to the cold, she felt more uneasiness that permeated people. People die every day, it's real, people are suffering from hunger, and she hasn't eaten for a whole day.

But it is said that on the other side of the street, there is a palace, which keeps out hunger and cold, and those who live there will never be forced by hunger and cold.

The Church will support you in this matter. ”

Suddenly, there was a conversation outside the door.

"Can we live in that city too, Canor?" asked Ella, who somehow got her courage, poking her head out of the next room. It may be that the person who spoke to Canor was too dazzling, especially the pair of shiny golden sword and shield insignia on his armband. Ira once stumbled upon someone wearing the same insignia while she was out scavenging, but the other person was surrounded by the majestic knights of the Church, and he looked very angry.

They come from the church.

Some people say that the nobles are villains, but no one has ever said anything bad about the church.

And the knight of the church is a symbol of justice and justice.

So...... Ella thought she might be able to ask for help from the Church Knights.

Unexpectedly, Canor's face changed suddenly, and for the first time, he glared at Ella almost fiercely: "Didn't you tell you not to come out?"

Ella was so frightened that she quickly retracted her head.

"It's okay, Mr. Canor. The visiting knight smiled, got up and walked up to Ella, bent down and took her hand, and led her to the table, "Is this your daughter? ”

"Her name is Ella, and she is my adopted daughter. Canor replied cautiously.

"I love children. The knight smiled very kindly, and with a gentle movement he rubbed Ella's hair, and said, "When I went to the palace, I also met a little girl about her age. ”

"Eh, who is she?" Ella asked curiously.

"The daughter of the fifth, Princess Sophia, maybe you will be friends in the future. ”

"You're laughing. Kano said that he didn't want Ella to have any contact with the church and the kingdom, and that if the Fifth could come to these slums in person, he would understand what the commoners thought of him. As for becoming friends with a dignified princess?

That is absolutely impossible, although there is only a wall separating them, but there are two worlds separating them.

"Well, it's not too early, I just want you to understand the church's position. ”

"I understand. ”

"That's good, it's hard work, Mr. Canor. ”

With that, the knight glanced at Ella with a smile again, "Ella, I remember your name." ”

Ella stared blankly at the other and walked out the door, and when he pushed the door open, there was already a woman waiting for him outside the door. The woman's whole body was shrouded in a cloak, and Ella could only deduce the gender of the other party from her delicate figure. Seeing the knight go out, the woman smiled with satisfaction.

"That's it. ”

"Of course – you're welcome. ”

The knight closed the door, completely blocking out the rest of their conversation. Ella only then reacted, and she asked instead, "Who is Kanor, who is he?"
