At the top of the giant tree of Sorantiel, there is the clearest lake in the world, called "Star Lake". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And on this night, in the Star Lake, the stars rippled.

The girl in the white dress stood by the mirror-like lake, the evening breeze blowing the stars between her long golden hair and the gently swaying skirt.

At the moment when the meteor crossed the sky, she quietly put away the crystal in her hand, inserted her waist heartily, stretched her chest and said, "The time is zero o'clock." Sure enough, the two of you will never miss the appointment. ”

She turned around and waved at the two teenagers with a delicate smile, her pointed ears twitching slightly, and her blue eyes glinted with joy, and said, "Welcome back, Ulysses and Virgy." ”

This girl is none other than Flora, and the three of them have parted from the temporary branch of the Knights of Light, and along their own paths, after countless trials and twists and turns, they finally meet again, but when everyone laughs innocently again, it is as if the previous stories of betrayal and disagreement never existed, but were just a misty dream.

Yuri asked humbly: "But I don't understand, why did Virgie's undercover plan fail, and the princess fell into absolute passivity, but in just two or three days, the wind suddenly reversed and completely turned the situation back?"

The princess and Virgie looked at each other and smiled, and replied, "It's really hard for you these days, and seeing me and Virgie hurting each other with hatred, I'm afraid you should be the saddest person." But now, I can finally reveal our great battle plan to you!"

In the Knights Branch, the night before Yuri and Virgil were "betrayed", Virgy and Flora had a disagreement, and the two ran away alone, not to quarrel, but to hide from Yuri and discuss what method to use.

"Your Royal Highness, I think that the Knights of Divine Light are actually very good candidates to bring the Dark Crystals to the Emperor and tell the truth about the Dark Invasion. ”

Virgil stared into Flora's eyes and said seriously, "So, please hand me and Yuri over to them." ”

When Flora heard this, she was so surprised that she shook her head vigorously and retorted anxiously: "Virgie, are you trying to test me? I will never be able to do such a thing, because we have not agreed to be friends with all our hearts, and if you regard me as a friend, you should not say such things to me at all!"

Virgi explained: "Don't worry, princess, my strategy is serious. Your betrayal of me and Yuri, in exchange for letting the knights go to the Emperor, is only the most superficial purpose, but the real purpose is to convince your cunning brother that there is a deep hatred between us and you. ”

Facts and evidence do not play any role at all in the face of the powerful power of Auroran turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain. The Knights of Light may have played a limited role in meeting the Emperor, and the Guards General Miraya, although she has personally experienced the terrifying and distorted power of darkness, may not be able to help Flora speak, even if she puts aside her personal hatred and is willing to testify on Flora's behalf, I am afraid that under the siege of Auroran's ministers, the fact of the arrival of darkness cannot really be conveyed to His Majesty the Emperor.

"So the only way for us to reverse this predicament is to peel off the network of power that protects Auuran layer by layer, just like disassembling armor. ”

Flora blinked: "Strip away his network of influence?"

"Yes, it's up to me to spread a virus called 'suspicion' in his seemingly tight-knit camp that will dismantle the power he wields. Virgy said firmly.

The princess then pretends to betray Yuri and Virgil, who has a strong hatred for the princess and is approved by Aurora. In the middle, he pretends to design a trap to capture the princess, and fights Yuri mercilessly, all in order to constantly strengthen Aurora's trust in Virgi.

Maris has always believed that trusting Virgi can have horrific consequences.

But on the contrary, what really befell Auroran's head was the moment when Auroran lost trust in Virgil.

Virgy gets along well with the captain of the garrison and others and is good friends. And once Auroran learns that Virgil is also Flora's friend, their suspicion of the captain of the guard will grow exponentially.

What's more, there is also the so-called "kidnapping incident", which is just to record the picture of the captain of the garrison and the banker and the princess talking happily with the light trace crystal, so that Aurolan's suspicion is even more confirmed.

"It's like a man with a severe plague who hides his illness and eats and drinks at the same table with a bunch of healthy people," said Virgil proudly. And when the fact that he was suffering from the plague could not be concealed at last, the people with whom he had eaten would not be good. Whether they are actually infected or not, others will isolate them with fear and rejection. ”

Yuri asked, "So the exposure of your undercover identity is actually part of the plan?"

The princess nodded and replied, "Yes, this is also designed. We deliberately told the Guards General about the bitter plan that night. She...... They have a grudge against me, and they will not let our spy plan go their way. And the time when she can go to Aurora's side to expose Virgie can be controlled. As long as she secretly uses a letter to tell the third sister that her guard general is under house arrest by the knights of light, she will definitely order the knights to release her. ”

Yuri was full of admiration: "I didn't expect that even the hatred of the Guards General was taken advantage of by you. Isn't there anything unexpected in this plan?"

Virgie said happily, "Of course, Uncle Marris's egghead is ten times more jealous than I expected." Originally, I thought that it would take a lot of patience to break up the Auloran party, but I didn't expect this uncle to completely dismantle his beloved master's right-hand man in an extremely brutal way in just a few days. ”

The princess blinked and said, "That's right, it's this guy who personally forced Uncle Beard and others to become my partners." I told the captain of the garrison that no matter how loyal they were to Aurora, it would be a dead end. Try to do something for me. If I, Flora, can one day regain my status as a princess, I will not treat everyone badly. ”

Yuri asked, "At this time, they regarded you as a savior, and they have long forgotten the words they used to say that you were a bad ass." ”

"At first, of course, they were very skeptical of me. ”

The princess raised her eyebrows, straightened her chest, and said loudly: "But I tell them that I will definitely become a great princess again, because everything I do is to save the country and the people!"

When the princess said this, there was an awe-inspiring righteousness, and she stood under the brilliant galaxy, and Yuri stared at her blankly, only feeling that even if the light of thousands of stars gathered together, it would not be able to match her brilliance at this moment.

For the first time in their lives, those who have done a lot of bad things for Auroran may feel ashamed of themselves, both to avoid disaster and to atone for their sins, and are willing to bring out evidence that can prove Flora's innocence and honesty before being dismissed, and strike a fatal blow at Auroran during the routine of the palace.

The colorful petals of the World Tree dance with the night breeze and eventually fall into the Starry Lake, turning into rainbow-colored ripples.

The three of them listened quietly to the ethereal echo of the tree fruit, and felt more emotion than joy about this victory.

"Yuri, Virgi, if it weren't for your company, I might have ...... It doesn't last to this day. ”

Yuri was stunned for a moment, and said with a quiet smile, "I used to think that I might be the least successful protagonist, and even the two remaining friends would become enemies who attacked each other. And I can't do anything. ”

Yuri wiped the tip of his nose and laughed heartily again: "And today I realized that I may be the stupidest protagonist, but for some reason I am a little happy in my heart." ”

"Yuri, don't think you're the dumbest protagonist. Virgie raised his eyebrows slightly, and said nonchalantly, "It's no surprise that you're not actually the protagonist." ”

Hey, say yes and encouragement! Virgil, don't turn around so simply and rudely, okay!

Just as the three of them were enjoying a rare quiet time, a figure appeared on the edge of the top of the canopy, and said with a cold gaze: "Do you know that Xingyao Lake, which is the origin of the life of the people of the tree, is not allowed to visit casually? ”

The three of them nervously followed the prestige, Virgy couldn't help but touch the magic rune in his arms, the princess also secretly contemplated the hidden space, and Yuri frowned, subconsciously clenching the slash.

Because the person who came was Miraya, the stubborn general of the Guards.

Will she choose to settle the hatred of her lover's murder and the resentment of being used as a pawn on the shore of a quiet lake?

The princess couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and asked weakly, "Miraya, what are you looking for me for?"

The Guards General took out a golden dagger from his bosom and strode towards the princess. Without thinking, Yuri and Virgy rushed to the princess together, weapons in hand.

A golden light flashed like dawn, and Yuri and Virgy felt like they were being bombarded, and sharp pain came from every part of their bodies, and when they fell to the ground from a high altitude, the sharp pain filled every nerve again.

The princess panicked and pulled out a dagger from the starlight, and although she could barely put herself on a posture, her heart was extremely desperate.

"Your dagger, it's time for a new one. ”

In the blink of an eye, the dagger in the princess's hand had been picked up by the Guards General's two fingers and thrown at the huge branch next to it, with such force that the blade sank into the tree and reached the handle.

Just when Flora thought that it was now over, the golden dagger in the hand of the general of the guards was lying quietly in her hand.

The princess blinked in disbelief and asked, "Huh?"
