"I've been traveling in the west for so long, and I've heard some rumors about nobles and royals having affairs with demon-worshipping cultists in the Zegus Kingdom, and this time I think as a princess of a country should have some idea of the cultist's attempt to kidnap you. ”

In the carriage, Purnelius spoke very directly, without half a polite sentence and due respect for Haidai as a princess, as if he was interrogating a prisoner who had done something wrong.

"First of all, I thank you for saving me, but I'm not sure about your problems ┉┉"

"What do you think about your brother's rumored failure to inherit the throne and his dissatisfaction with you, and his collusion with several great nobles in the kingdom of Zegus who have always planned to usurp the throne?"

"What I'm trying to say is that it's possible but there's no evidence. ”

For Poenlius's step-by-step pressing, Haidai could only deny that although the other party had calculated correctly in many places, the collusion of the royal family members with the cultists was not a joke.

If it was good before, these scandals were handled by the royal family at most, but now the demons that had been silent for a long time suddenly began to invade the human world, and the monsters that were originally thought to be only in poetry and mythology actually existed, so the people of the western countries had an unprecedented explosion of belief in the gods, and those believers who had originally believed in the five supreme gods became fanatical overnight. In the face of the powerful power of demons and the need to use the Holy Capital to prevent the ravages of demons, the royal families of various countries have recently interacted frequently with the Holy Capital, and they are no longer as resistant to the Holy Capital as they were before.

In any case, every king needs to consider the interests of the country when he is alive, and he also needs to consider the ownership of his soul after he is dead, and he must not be a believer and a blasphemer to pray to the gods to bless his soul from going to hell!

For this reason, in this special period, the Holy Capital is very tough, and he will definitely not care about the face of the royal family, and even if this kind of thing is true, even if it needs the help of the Holy Capital, it is carried out secretly. Otherwise, the ruler of a country is a believer in the devil, and if it spreads, it will be a devastating blow to the majesty of the country, and even the legitimacy of the royal family itself will be undoubtedly shaken.

It has been documented that a cultist who worships demons sacrificed the commoners of a city to demons, and as a citizen of a country, who dares to imagine that if the king was also a cultist, then he would one day suddenly be sacrificed as a sacrifice.

Although Haidai is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. But as a princess, she has been infected in the dye vat called 'politics' for so many years since she was a child, and she also understands the seriousness of this matter, so Hai Dai disguised herself and quietly went to seek help from the Holy Capital, hoping that everything can be ended in the most obscure way, and if it is in a uproar, it will be a difficult matter for the entire Zegus Kingdom to deal with.

"Although this was an attack by cultists, there is no evidence to prove that these cultists colluded with the nobles in the country, perhaps it was just a separate accidental attack. ”

Because considering too many implications, Princess Haidai can't express her views as bluntly as an ordinary girl, and judging from the words, there are some plans to shield the royal family and nobles. After all, Haidai herself is also a member of the royal family, and even when she spoke, Her Royal Highness the princess deliberately lowered her voice so as not to be heard by others.

Purenlius stared at Haidai, although the golden eyes were still emotionless and calm, but Haidai, who was stared at by Purenlius, felt a shuddering feeling all over her body, and she was condescendingly looked down on by some higher being, and every thought in her soul and mind wanted to be seen through.

"You'd better not look at demons with the experience you've learned in the world. ”

Perenlius suddenly took out a piece and put it in front of Haidai, it was the mask worn by the cultists who attacked that night, a mask that made a sad face: "As a princess, you are indeed worthy of the cultists to attack you." Sacrificing a princess to a demon in the Twisted Void was more of a blow to the prestige of the Holy Capital than to please their master, but no demon would have sacrificed an altar to do such an attack. ”

"Altar?" Elcid asked, frowning, "Do you mean the building under the lake?"

Pernlius glanced at Elcid and did not answer the question. Instead, he continued to say to Hai Dai: "Go to the Holy Capital to ask for help, obviously you yourself know very well that there are unimaginable forces infiltrating within the Zegus Kingdom, so there is no need to continue to hide it here, let's say, who do you think is the biggest suspect in this attack?"

Haidai still looked a little reluctant to admit it: "Mr. Perenlius, I am very grateful that you saved me. When I return to the royal capital, I will thank you and everyone who will sit down again on behalf of the royal family, but there are some things I ┉┉"

"You may not have understood where you are now, Princess Hydel. ”

Purrius's eyes were full of coldness, and he unceremoniously interrupted in a cold tone: "Don't you still understand your situation, or do you still expect to be able to solve the other party quietly with the help of the Holy Capital? This attack is not only planned by the cultists, but even the demon masters in the abyss have taken the initiative to participate in it, and it is clear that the situation in the Kingdom of Zegus is much worse than you even expected from the Holy Capital. ”

"Demon Master?" Haydai seemed to be startled by Perenlius's tone.

"As a princess who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Generally speaking, you are not allowed to leave the royal capital alone, let alone go to the holy capital to ask for help after disguise, this kind of private collusion with external forces will be criticized no matter what country you are, so you must have prepared a stand-in in the palace to cover it up before leaving┉┉"

This time Haidai did not refute, but gently bit her lip and continued to listen to the words of Purenlius, because the other party was right.

"Since the other party has carried out a very accurate attack on you this time, then it must have seen through the stand-in you arranged in the country, and you should know that this time the cultists captured you did not plan to stay alive but directly sacrificed you, which shows that the control of the cultists in the Zegus Kingdom is already big enough, so big that they don't need to care about your life, at least after you die, they can continue to lie that the princess did not leave, and then find an imposter to replace you directly, without you, the princess who is against them everywhere, they can also be more assured and bold to expand。 ”

"The Holy Capital side will not sit idly by, the Holy Capital side should know very well that it is just an impostor in the country, and it can be more solid to confirm the evidence of their collusion with the devil. Finally, Haidai replied.

Purnelius nodded noncommittally: " That's right, the Holy Capital will ignore it, but after all, you ran out quietly, even if the Holy Capital knows the truth of everything in the case of death without proof, it will be bound by avoiding secular suspicion, at least in the absence of absolute evidence, the crusade against the Zegus Kingdom is unknown, if the Zegus Kingdom is forcibly attacked today, even if evidence is found afterwards to prove that the Zegus Kingdom has been controlled by the cultists, but for the countries in the western part of the continent, if Zegus is forcibly defeated today, it will not be his turn to be defeated tomorrow, and the Holy Capital cannot afford to become the target of the public。 ”

Haidai's face became slightly gloomy.

"Even if the Holy Capital recklessly takes advantage of this special time to forcibly crusade against the Zegus Kingdom, then the Zegus Kingdom itself is finished, not to mention the shaking of the royal power by the big scandal of the country being controlled by the cultists, even the demon itself may directly destroy the entire Zegus Kingdom. ”

Here Enlius continued: "Princess Haidai, I said that you should not look at demons with the common sense of ordinary people, every demon master is a monster that has existed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and they have witnessed the rise and fall of too many kingdoms over the long years, and sometimes they will not mind using naked violence in the way you least want to see the cards than the corruption in the dark, unless you can really grasp the opponent's vital handle. ”

"If that's the case, then it's all going to end together. "This time, Haidai's confidence is a little insufficient.

"Let me remind you once and for all, don't look at demons with your eyes as a mortal, in the eyes of the demon lords, even if everything that has been established in the kingdom of Zeguth is destroyed, it will not be painful, because they have enough time to wait thousands of years to find another better prey, and for this there is no need to think about all aspects of losses like you, you understand?"

"What do you mean┉┉" Haidai's face became more difficult to look at.

"It means that if you return so recklessly now, then you will be sent to the altar immediately, don't expect those who believe in demons to compromise and back down with you according to the rules, even if they are willing to compromise, the demons will never compromise with you as a human, since you already know that you have contacted the Holy Capital, then the demons will definitely take you away as a trophy before being eliminated by the Holy Capital, and then hide in hell and leisurely watch the entire Zegus Kingdom enter destruction. ”

Haidai couldn't speak anymore this time, as if he could predict the prophet, he analyzed all the key pros and cons, if he really looked at demons and cultists with common sense, then everything that Perenlius said could become true, the demon could completely destroy the entire Zegus Kingdom, and then wait for the rise of another kingdom after thousands of years of dormancy, the demon really didn't need to care about the loss in front of him, but he and the entire Zegus Kingdom could not bear this loss.

"Whatever plan you had with the Holy Capital is useless now, because each other's positions have changed, you have gone from the dark to the light, and the cultists have changed from the light to the dark, so tell me now what you think of this attack and how exactly you planned it after contacting the Holy Capital?"

Poenlius, who completely overwhelmed Haidai in momentum, asked in a tone like ordering a courtier, Haidai lowered her head in frustration and finally began to tell everything one by one. (To be continued.) )
