Lycia and Dimitrili emerge from the Tower of Thorns, and the rain has stopped.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are really too risky. "Futespa had also descended from mid-air, and the sapphire staff's glow had waned.

"We didn't find Her Royal Highness. Lycia shook her head.

Dimitri deliberately did not speak.

The church member who had been following the Emperor came to the Tower of Thorns on behalf of the Emperor, his sleeves caged and a smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, can you open the door of the Tower of Thorns, let's send someone in to find Her Royal Highness the Queen again, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lycia have been in the Tower for so long, and there is nothing to do, presumably Her Royal Highness the Queen should also be fine." ”

Dimitorius walked to the door that had been blackened by smoke, and pressed the Thorn Empire totem protruding from the door with his right hand, the opening and closing of the door did not change, and it was still half-open.

"That's it. ”

A squad of church troops rushed in.

Lycia and Dimitrili also stood there and waited.

Before the Church Army could search the entire tower, they waited until another group of Church Army escorted a man over.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen fled, with the help of this Mr. Buchton. ”

Buchton's hair was all against his face, and his clothes were wet, and he looked very depressed.

"Buchton?" Lycia glanced at Dimitoli in a panic.

But Dimitri did not react, he was clearly hesitant about the gains and losses and the friendship of his comrades.

After all, recognizing Buchton now will not help him, but if he does nothing, even a backbite will hurt Buchton, and it will also bury huge moral hazards in his imperial career in the future.

"I don't know it's Her Royal Highness, she is wearing the same clothes as Miss Lycia today, and her face is the same, and I don't know how she ended up being Her Royal Highness the Queen again. Buchton said.

"Me?" Lycia couldn't help but interject. "So you were deceived by her?"

Buchton's favorability has risen a bit. "Yes. ”

Dimitoli finally spoke. "Obviously, Buchton was deceived by someone, and as for whether it is Her Royal Highness the Queen, it depends on the church army that entered the tower to search and rescue. ”

"I hope it's Her Royal Highness who escapes. Dimitrius said this, but in this case he had no problem saying it, and even earned him a good reputation for benevolence and filial piety.

"Your Highness, you are the one who inherits the throne, and you must not have such dangerous thoughts. "It was an old and authoritative councillor who spoke.

"Your Highness is the son of man, and it is human nature to think like this. "The man who spoke for Dimitrius was a very shrewd-looking official, and from his position he was supposed to be close to the church.

"The rain that fell just now is the water of truth, it will wash away all disguises, and it should indeed be Her Royal Highness who escapes. The dean Futespar picked up his staff and walked away with about five centimeters of air under his feet. "Also, the clothes worn by this Mr. Buchton are those of the grooms of the court. ”

All justifications are over.

"Yes, Mr. Buchton, how do you explain that. ”

Buchton couldn't speak, and neither could Dimitri.

Lycia didn't know what kind of stupidity she had committed at that moment, how she had become a virgin with no logical thinking ability.

"It was I who asked Mr. Buchton to come into the palace to accompany me, I, I was a little nervous. Lycia wanted to swell her mouth when she said this, but this reason was not sufficient at all, but it interrupted the other people's thoughts to cover Buchton.

Even Dimitoli could not continue to defend himself.

"Lycia, you can't say such nonsense in order to protect your future brother-in-law. Buchton himself confessed to the crime. "Well, that's right, I sneaked into the palace and disguised myself as a groom to do other things, but it wasn't to help Her Royal Highness escape. ”

"Something. The leader of the church army asked eagerly, fearing that he had caught a wronged man and that the reward that was almost in place would fly away, and now that Buchton had confessed to the crime of disguising the groom, he hoped that the more serious the mistake he had made, the better.

"Actually, it's my fault. Dimitorius spoke before Buchton could speak. "I asked him to pretend to be a groom and accompany me into the palace. ”

Lycia was ashamed and helpless, hating the struggle for power and words, not being able to crush everything with her own ability alone like a simple battle.

"I just asked him to escort me, and recently there was a poem among the troubadours that someone had told me that I would die in an accident, and that the true heir would be an illegitimate child. Dimitrius said, looking at the people of the church. "I've also heard that the church is looking for this illegitimate child. ”

"This... The leader of the church army looked embarrassed.

Even the church staff with their sleeves on behalf of the emperor had already taken their hands out of their sleeves and stood there stiffly.

"We have not sought out any illegitimate children, nor have we heard of the poetry you have spoken of, Your Highness. ”

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, theoretically speaking, the crown prince had no problem with who he wanted to be a groom, and there was no conclusive evidence that the words of Dimitri and Buchton were quibbles, so no one felt that they were accused of lying in front of the royal family.

"Miss Lycia, don't lie in the future, although it is good for you to protect the hearts of your friends and loved ones, it is wrong to lie on any occasion. "Dimitrius was clearly lying, but it was as if he was justifying the people of the church by criticizing Lycia.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness did escape from the Tower of Thorns at the time of the fire, and I have reason to believe that she did perceive some kind of danger, some danger of wanting to overthrow the royal family. Dimitri's words are almost directed at the Church.

The people standing around did not dare to speak at this time, and the escape of Her Royal Highness seemed to be no longer important.

The people who were on the side of the church had also disrupted their original plan to fight wits and courage with the crown prince in secret.

Dimitri's original plan was also disrupted.

*

Although Buchton was not convicted, he did not take the initiative to help the Church Army when he arrested Her Royal Highness the Queen who had escaped, and even obstructed the Church Army.

With Dimitri's acquiescence, Buchton was temporarily imprisoned for a formal investigation.

"Lycia!" Duke Michau shouted angrily at Lycia. "You're simply insulting your sister!"

"She didn't, I'll just marry Buchton. Ash took off his shoes and walked towards Duke Michau before he had time to put them on.

Lycia was sent home in disgrace, her blue title ribbon covered in ash.

Duke Michaeu had heard of her feat from the Church Army who had returned with Lycia.

"Ash, what are you talking about!" said Duke Michau's neck.

=============================== (to be updated later.) It's been too busy today)

There was only a spark left in the fireplace, and Lycia covered her lap with a blanket and sat next to Keith.

Duke Michaux had gone upstairs an hour earlier, and now there were only three maids and two siblings in the hall.

"What do you think of the Academy?" Keith was still on his knees, and Lycia laid a blanket for him after the rest of the family left.

"It's ok, it's pretty much what I expected. Lycia stomped her foot gently. "Tell me about you, what would happen to you if the church convicted you tomorrow?"

Keith glanced at the maids standing next to him, who would not retreat and would keep an eye on him all night until someone from the church came tomorrow to take him away.

"Then I'll use the heraldic stone to turn the Dharma Hall upside down. Keith was still in the mood to joke, after all, he didn't believe that the church would convict him after meeting His Majesty.

Aristocrats always had a natural self-confidence and did not believe that they would be sanctioned under any circumstances.

After all, in the history of the Thorn Empire, the worst fate for the nobles was exile to the saline land near the shore of the Eye of the Backwater.

"I've met the dean, she's the leader of the church, right?" Lycia only knew that the entire Thorn Empire believed in the sun god, and the functions of the church had been suppressed by the royal family and nobility, except for the abbot Futespa.

"Yes, that's right. Keith stopped talking, looked up at Lycia, winked at her, and tapped his finger from under his robe, tapping lightly on the ground.

Lycia stood up from her chair in understanding, blocking out part of the view of the three maids.

"You go and rest, Ayin, you don't have to stay here with me. Keith said as he tied something to his sister's ankle.

"Good. ”

One of the maids hurried forward, packed up Lysia's suitcase that she had temporarily placed in the hall, and followed her upstairs.

Lycia couldn't wait to go upstairs and go back to her room.

Fortunately, she had never liked to be served, so the maid obediently closed the door and went out after she had entered the room.

Lycia hung her cloak on the shelf, sat on the bed with her back to the door, untied what Keith had tied to her ankles, and tucked it into the quilt.

Then he walked over to the dresser, calmly changed into his pajamas, and then locked the door behind him.

"Miss, don't you need to wash up?" the maid did not go far.

Lycia deliberately replied in a very hoarse voice. "No need, let me go, ma'am, I'll rest first, and get up early tomorrow morning to wash. ”

Lycia closed the room's glowing circle and lit a candle and placed it on the small table at the head of the bed.

Lie down under the covers.

It was a packet of brown paper, and Lycia pinched it, but luckily it wasn't a small stone, and if her brother stuffed her with the stolen heraldic stone, she didn't know what to do.

It was a rag that seemed to be embroidered with a circle on it.

There is also a letter, addressed to himself.

"Dear sister, I believe you must have pretended to sleep, and then locked the door, and did not dare to open the letter until you were in your comfortable bed. By the time you read this, I'm about to leave you. The opposite shore of the Eye of the Dead Water is not a barren place, and the Eye of the Dead Water is not the end of the world. The Thirteen Horsemen and the Sun Goddess are fake, and I need to verify this with the world, as the message from the ocean shows that those on the other side of the Eye of the Backwater have mastered the means of approaching it without being devoured.

I may die in search of the truth, but I am not afraid, we enjoy the love and support of the people of the Empire, shouldn't we be responsible to the people? ”

Lycia's tears were already on the letter, and her vision was blurry.

"So, I'm going to try to survive.

There is one more thing that I can only ask you to do, please give the rags in the package to the publisher at 39 Hail Avenue, Mr. Fulyndona, and forget about that place, and stay away from it. ”

Lycia wiped away her tears, put aside her reluctance to her brother for a moment, and began to think about how to go alone to Hail Street, which was located in the lower block.

"The eldest young master is gone!" Soon, the sleepy maid noticed Keith's sudden disappearance.

Duke Michaeu woke up from his dream, reached out and picked up the glasses beside the bed and put them on, revealing a depressed face.

"The family is finished. He said.

And Keith, the successor of the Ho family, sat on the night Pegasus who came to meet him, and finally overlooked the castle.

*

The heir fled after committing a crime, but Mi Xiu did not dare to delay, so he changed into an official robe and went to the palace that night to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty. He knelt outside the palace all night until Tichaman got up from his lover's bed.

He pleaded guilty with clarity.

"You have a daughter. His Majesty the Emperor said expressionlessly.

"It's the daughter with the unique coat of arms. The Emperor stepped down the steps and patted Misho on the shoulder with his wrinkled hand.

Mixiu Shadow smelled a foul smell about that.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He kept his head down.

"Very well, let her be the heir. As for the fugitive, I think Aiqing can already disown him. The church was responsible for catching him. ”

Mi Xiu only dared to answer yes.

*

Lycia didn't close her eyes all night, she began to think carefully from the fact that she could see the favorability and disgust, and then from the Gray Sparrow breaking into the banquet to what Keith said in the letter, she vaguely seemed to touch some key things.

What the church is hiding has to do with the eye of the backwater, and it has to do with the mourning of the sparrow.

"You can still sleep. Ash was already sitting at the breakfast table, her head resting on her mother.

"Our family is busy with my brother, but you are like a dead pig. Ash's words were very hostile.

Lycia glanced at the progress bar above her head, which was actually one percent of her favorability, which really surprised her.

Their mother, Lucica, looked very haggard, she didn't say a word, her eyes were blank, and her cheeks were sunken.

Deaf to the quarrel between the two sisters, the hands holding the ceramic teacups are shaking.

*

"What! let Ayin be the heir to our family!" Lucica took her husband's hand, looking angry and disbelieving.

"It's all your fault! No, it's not your disgusting, filthy sister, and if it weren't for her, my Ash wouldn't have been unable to inherit the title. And my son, my Keith, my poor Keith, who fled alone and didn't know how he was doing. ”

Mixiu clenched his wife's hands. "Lucica, be quiet, there's nothing we can do. I can only do this first, Lycia is a soft-hearted girl, she is different from my sister, she was raised by us and will be obedient. ”
