"Ash, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Buchton finally stopped holding his sword and placed it on the chair next to him.

Ash's body swayed as the carriage jolted. "Hmm. Of course. ”

"After I graduate, I will apply for a job in the security department and get a good salary. Buchton struggled to pull out a laugh.

"Of course, being a sheriff does pay a lot. Ash looking at the shabby decoration in the carriage. "Three gold coins a week?"

Buchton nodded. "Yes, three gold coins, after a year of drying, there will be five gold coins a week. ”

After a long silence.

"Ash!" Buchton's arms wrapped tightly around Ash on the other side.

"Nothing can separate us!"

The carriage slowly walked down the road.

A pair of lovers complain to each other.

Lycia's knighthood ceremony took place at the Royal Palace on the first Wednesday of April.

"How am I supposed to get the ribbon?" said Lycia, who was taken to the palace by her father and mother at the age of fifteen for her coming-of-age ceremony.

And now she needs to accept the knighthood by herself.

Fudomi shook her head, smiling and holding Lycia's hand. "Don't be nervous, it's okay to take it however you want, I've heard that someone farted at His Majesty when they took the ribbon. ”

Lycia couldn't help but laugh out loud when someone as urbane as Fudomi uttered the word fart in front of people. "Okay, so did Your Majesty cover your nose?"

Fudomi let go of Lycia's hand and placed her right index finger on her chin in a thoughtful gesture. "Well, no, Your Majesty even took two deep breaths. ”

"Alright, go ahead. Fudomi patted Lycia on the shoulder.

Lycia took a deep breath and followed the ceremonial officer, walking in an even step into the first gate of the palace.

The weather was not too good today, the sky was gray, there was no wind, the air was humid, and the flag of the Empire of Thorns was hanging on the flagpole.

"This way, Miss Lycia. The ceremonial officer led Lycia to the door of the main hall.

His Majesty the Emperor Di Chaman was sitting crookedly on the throne, and the gray finch was perched on the armrest of the throne of thorns.

The light inside the main hall was very dim, and Lycia could only see the figure of Dichaman in the shadows.

"Good. Lycia heard an emotionless voice sound.

Dimitoli stood under the throne, and Tata stood beside him.

"You saved the Imperial Crown Prince, and you deserve a viscount. Dichaman's hand was raised like a puppet, and he waved it at Lycia.

From the side of the Throne of Thorns stepped a man dressed in ecclesiastical attire with a dark blue ribbon in his hand.

Lycia glanced at Dimitri, who was downcast, not expressing any other emotion at the infiltration of the church into the court.

Emperor Chaman staggered from his throne and walked towards Lycia below, he picked up the ribbon and handed it to Lycia, moving slowly.

Lycia smelled a foul smell, and the speculation in her mind became more and more manifest, that Emperor Tsamon was dead.

The blue ribbon reached up to Lycia, and she took it steadily, then glanced up at the favorability above the emperor's head.

No, there is no favorability.

It turned out that the church did not replace the emperor with anyone, and they did not know how to turn the emperor's corpse into a puppet.

"I wish you good health, Your Majesty. Lycia put the ribbon on and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette.

"Hmm. He turned and staggered from side to side, and walked back to his throne like a walking corpse and sat down.

"Well, Your Majesty is tired. The man in the robe of the Church walked up to the throne of thorns again and stood in the shadows.

Lycia did not feel the sacredness of conferring the title at all, and only when Dichaman left the palace did she walk out of the main hall with a helpless face.

"Your Majesty! The Tower of Thorns is on fire!"

A very exciting piece of news that makes up for the ordinariness at this moment.

Lycia glanced back at Dimitoli.

I found that his reactions and movements were very smooth, and there was no panic or surprise at all.

"Your Majesty has gone back to rest. Lycia heard Dimitorius speak to the panicked warden.

"Did you send someone to find it?" said Dimitoli, pretending to be flustered. "You go and inform Your Majesty. He walked out of the main hall and said to the guards at the door.

Lycia stood in the doorway and didn't move, and Dimitorius came over and bowed her head and whispered in her ear. "Keep up. Then he walked briskly in the direction of leaving the palace.

"Is that you?" said Lycia and God Mitoly, and the two looked at each other tacitly.

*

Futespar opened his eyes and stepped on the white orb suspended in the curved dome room, and walked down step by step.

"It's starting to get a little out of control. She picked up the sapphire staff placed in the center of the room, and a cloak of white gold thread floated over her and rested on her shoulder.

*

Linda's Tower of Thorns, where the Empress was imprisoned, was at the side of the rear of the palace complex.

Dimitoli pulled Lycia into the royal family's open-top carriage.

"Wait a minute, don't be surprised to see someone wearing the same clothes as you. Dimitori put his arm around Lycia's shoulders and whispered in her ear.

The driver shook his head, and his back was a little familiar.

"Buchton?"

The driver turned his head and crooked his mouth and smiled, it wasn't Buchton's face, but the twenty percent favorability on his head couldn't fool Lycia.

It seems that this matter has been planned by Dimitrius for a long time, and Lycia is not worried.

"There was a fire at the top of the tower. Lycia said, pointing to the Tower of Thorns not far away.

Praetorian guards were constantly running from behind their wagons in the direction of the Tower of Thorns.

Lycia could smell the scorching smell in the air, the sky was already overcast, and the carriage reached the tower, and the ashes were floating in the air.

"What about Her Royal Highness?" Dimitori walked to the tower with a panicked expression, and the person who already had the water coat of arms was in place, pouring water on the burning place.

"No, Your Highness!" the disguised Mavbuchton held out his hand, then nudged Lycia.

The latter reacted and chased Dimitori into the smoke.

Lycia's eyes were on the verge of cracking open with smoke, and one hand grabbed her wrist and led her towards the tower.

"Close your eyes. Dimitri's voice.

Lycia's mood at the moment was very complicated, speechless accounted for a large part, obviously she was helpless to be involved in this matter, and Dimitori still looked gentlemanly and affectionate, pulling her away.

But on the one hand, I have to say that Dimitri did do something that made Lycia a little tempted by doing this.

With her other hand, which was not being held, Lycia pulled out her silver weapon, Selene.

Then with a wave, the choking smoke dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Your Highness, are we going to rescue Her Royal Highness the Queen now? ”

Dimitri nodded as he looked at the scene around him that was gradually clearing.

The two had already walked up the stairs.

The first floor was already covered with smoke, let alone the upper floors.

"Let's go upstairs. "Lycia opened the way ahead, and she opened a path without smoke.

"Your new weapon is useful. Dimitrius seemed a little embarrassed, and he walked slowly after Lycia.

"Why do they only pour water outside the tower?" said Lycia, drenched in the face by the water that had been sprayed in through the stone window.

"Because they can't get in. Dimitrili handed Lycia a handkerchief.

Lycia didn't answer. "It's okay, the temperature here is so high, it will be able to do it soon, how many floors is Her Royal Highness the Queen locked up?"

Dimitorius did not insist and withdrew the handkerchief. "On the top floor. ”

"The top floor, that is, there is. Lycia gasped a little.

"There are five more floors. Dimitrius walked in front of Lycia again.

Lycia thought he was going to behave like a gentleman again, to lead her.

It turned out that he was just one step ahead of her.

So the two of them reached the top of the tower as if they were competing to see who could go faster.

"Isn't there anyone else in the tower?" Lycia walked all the way, even if she didn't even see a panicked waitress, and reached the top floor, and there was no one outside this floor of the queen under house arrest.

"They were all burned to death. Dimitri said, and pushed the door open of the room, ignoring the scared feeling of Lycia behind her.

"Mother. ”

Lycia saw a man dressed in the same clothes as herself, and carrying a ribbon on his back.

"Her Royal Highness. Lycia arched her hand and bowed halfway, feeling a little uncomfortable, she was completely calculated into the whole thing today, and she didn't even tell in advance.

"Thank you, Lycia, my good boy. "Queen Linda Thiel is very young and beautiful, and although Linxi is slightly similar to her in her eyebrows and eyes, she is not at all as good as the queen.

"How do you leave? There are two of us, two people who are the same at the same time, and this will also arouse the suspicion of others. Lycia was suddenly a little afraid if Dimitri let her stay in the burning tower of thorns and leave with the queen.

"Mother, you drink this bottle of medicine, and then, Lycia, the two of us wait for Buchton to take her away, and then we go, we may need to be wronged by you and I to stay in the tower a little longer. "Dimitri was a little excited to be in danger with Lycia.

When he made his plan, he didn't think about bringing someone else with him to accomplish it.

The queen drank the potion in one gulp, then looked at Lycia with a soft smile. "It's a pleasure to have the most beautiful face of the Thorn Empire for a short time. ”

Lycia watched in amazement as she fanned off the smoke as she watched the Queen's face change.

"Where did you get the medicine?" she once asked Teacher Krier if there was any potion that could change her appearance, Teacher Kriel's rumors had it, but the recipe had been lost for a long time.

"Do you want to learn?" Dimitri watched as his mother, dressed as Lycia, nodded at them and left.

"Well, of course. "Lycia is not worried about whether Her Royal Highness the Queen will be able to escape smoothly, Dimitoria must have been planning for a long time, and there has been a chance missing.

Dimitoli closed the door, keeping the smoke out.

Although it was still hot in the room, Lycia didn't have to fan her weapon all the time to get rid of the smoke.

"I don't understand why you have to take the risk to save Her Highness. Lycia found a place that wasn't so hot, a little farther away from the window.

"Her Royal Highness is much safer in the tower than outside. Lycia asked.

Dimitri walked up to her and pressed a clean handkerchief against Lycia's hair, which had not yet dried. "Do you know the coat of arms of Her Royal Highness?"

Lycia was stunned for a moment, Linxi's coat of arms is snake scales, could it be that Her Royal Highness the Queen is too?

I seem to have heard of the coat of arms of the Thiel family, which is one of the few coats of arms that has a family heritage.

"Dragonhorn Serpent. Dimitrius took the handkerchief and shoved it into Lycia's hand. "And your placket is a lot wetter. ”

Lycia wiped her chest with her handkerchief carelessly.

"Dragon's horns? "Lycia hadn't really heard of such a coat of arms.

"Except for me, my grandfather, and my father, who is now dead, no one knows that the coat of arms of Her Royal Highness the Empress is not a snake head, but a dragon horn snake head. Dimitorius leaned closer and closer to Lycia.

I don't know if it's because of the temperature increase or something else.

Dimitoli's ears were red all over.

"Is it a little bit of the Dragon Crest ability?" asked Lycia, sensing that Dimitrius was almost next to her forehead and shoulder, and she didn't move, even enjoying the ambiguity of the tense moment.

"Yes, to be able to use Dragon Burn. Dimitorius put his arm around the back of Lycia's head and pressed her against the wall.

Lycia pressed her arms and Selene against the wall.

It's not that I like him, it's just that he's really charming and I should enjoy the moment. Lycia excused herself.

And then still fell by the kiss of Dimitrius.

The kiss was like a dragonfly in water, landing on Lycia's forehead, cheeks, and the tip of her nose.

"I'll admit, I failed. Dimitori felt one of his hearts beating fast and expanding, and it wanted to jump out of its ribcage and become one with the beautiful girl in front of it.

Her blue eyes were like the most beautiful sapphires, sparkling with water.

Just as Dimitri lowered his head again and approached Lycia, who was already a little uncomposed, thunder came from the sky.

Futespar floated in mid-air, holding a staff nearly two meters long in his hand, pointing at the spire.

Abundant rain fell from the sky.

The flames that burned only on the surface of the Tower of Thorns were quickly extinguished.

Lycia pushed Dimitoli away. "This rain isn't part of your plan, is it?"

Dimitoli shook his head.

"It should be a church person. He said.

Lycia peered out the window. "To be exact, our dean. ”

"Get out of here, we can't pretend we can't find our way through the smoke. Lycia touched her forehead lightly, and then ran downstairs first.

"It's raining. "Buchton and Queen Linda had just run out of the palace Janissary area when they encountered this rainstorm.

Both of them were drenched.

"Your Highness, what are you?" Buchton found that the rain had washed away Lindatil's original disguise, revealing her true face.

"You too. The queen raised her eyes and saw a small detachment of church troops appear in the corridor ahead.
