"Yo, Chris, what are you secretly instilling in my daughter?"

Sophia's thoughts were interrupted by a bold female voice, and Princess LaBelle came to the two of them. It seems that the jealousy between him and Laqi has been decided, or he was interrupted by unknown monsters or passers-by halfway, and it came to an end in short.

No, to revis, the current 'she' should be 'Flora'.

If she hadn't lied, then this symptom would have been a common schizophrenia of personality on Earth in previous lives. In the memory of the 'man in black' in his previous life, there were similar cases. After the death of a loved one, the inability to accept this harsh reality leads to self-directed and self-acting out another personality as a substitute for the dead character.

However, this world is different from the earth, there is a wonderful technology of 'magic', and the concept of 'soul' does exist, Sophia herself has experienced a similar experience of 'borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul', so it cannot be denied that the personality of the woman in front of her is virtual, and she may really be someone who died eight years ago.

What's more, after a few days of getting along, and repeatedly experiencing the moment of 'personality switching', Sophia can easily distinguish the difference between 'LaBel' and 'Flora', not only the way they speak and their personalities, but also the more conspicuous signs, that is, when she becomes 'Flora', her hair color will appear darker and brighter, and even at night she can float out of fine sparks like scales.

However, for Sophia, there may not be any need to judge with her eyes at all, because, as she is now, she will incarnate as a hunting lion, and the 'personality' that pounces on herself without saying anything must be Flora's unmistakable, and if she is Princess Label, although she will also show her doting side to herself, the way of contact is more polite.

"It's nothing, Your Highness Princess, I'm just talking to Miss Sophia about some old things. ”

"Oh...... In this way, your 'sword' is still the same, and it is very convenient to use. ”

For Chris's answer, Flora let out a strange sigh, and at the same time, her face instantly cooled to freezing, for some reason, she could catch a clear anger and murderous aura in her eyes.

"Hehe, please don't get angry...... I am also helpless, please understand. ”

Chris seemed to know what had angered Flora and gave an awkward smile. Only Sophia, who was caught in the middle, could only put on an expression of unknown reason.

"Sophia, you probably don't know that this sullen man's weapon, the 'Holy Sword of Time and Space', in addition to being used as a weapon, also has many obscene abilities. ”

Probably feeling the puzzled gaze of the girl in her arms, Flora took the opportunity to explain-

"That sword, the power to manipulate time, as long as the user's magic is abundant enough, can even use it to reveal some fragments of history that happened long ago. Even if you don't experience it yourself, you can experience it as if you were there. For example...... A pure girl bathing naked, or a lonely scene at night, this man can peep freely?"

"Wait, Princess Label. I swear by the glory of a knight that I will never use the holy sword to do such a shameless thing in order to satisfy my own selfish desires! Also, please respect yourself, and don't say such a sensitive topic in front of children!"

"Hah, am I wrong, Your Excellency the Chief Knight, who is sullen? You have overheard the deep secrets of our sisters, and this is no different from voyeurism in the bath, right? Also, now that I am Flora, not to mention that I have forgotten about me as a 'martial arts instructor'. ”

At this point in the conversation, Sophia finally sorted out and understood the situation, and at the same time solved the mystery that she had been carrying in her arms since she heard the story just now.

You know, the stories of the past told by Chris are not based on his own perspective at all, but revolve around Flora. I thought there were a lot of fictional parts in it, but now it seems that he probably used the power of the holy sword to constantly look at the history he had experienced from all angles.

"Well then, Princess Flora...... Believe me, I used this power to find out what I missed back then. Moreover, even with the use of this holy sword, some key experiences are still hidden in the dark, and no matter how hard I try, that history seems to be shrouded in a deep black fog and nothing is found, and for eight years, confusion and doubts have always troubled me. ”

The confusion Chris is referring to here is probably the 'completely unrememberable' accident that he finally experienced ten years ago. Even if he mastered the ability of the 'Holy Sword of Time and Space' to spy on history, he would not be able to know the truth at that time.

"So you're throwing your doubts at a little girl, trying to get answers from her? The Chief Knight is too cowardly, and you're really the same as you were back then—Chris, who was invincible. ”

"Huh...... What a nostalgic nickname. Still, that's not wrong. My principle has never changed, it has always been 'never to win a battle that you don't have to win', I'm not interested in personal fame and glory or anything like that, and I don't want to change my principles, even if you think it's unproductive. To be honest, the identity of the 'Brave Man of the Holy Sword' is simply overwhelming me. If possible, I would like to give the holy sword to whoever I want right now, and then follow the example of Lutga and return to the agriculture and forestry. ”

"Alright, then give me the holy sword, and leave the Order now. ”

Flo stretched out his hand, and although the corners of his mouth were smiling, there was no joke in his eyes. If she is really Flora, the princess knight who was once the strongest in the empire and has inherited pure royal blood, I believe that even the 'holy sword of time and space' should be able to wield it freely, right?

"Huh...... No. But Chris smiled wryly at her proposal without hesitation, and shook his head back and forth.

"Hey, didn't you say you were going to retire to the countryside?"

"So Your Highness Princess, I mean 'if possible', for now, I have something I have to do with this sword, and I can't stop halfway until I achieve my goal. ”

As for what he was going to do, the young knight didn't mention it, but in his helpless wry smile, he also showed a certain unwavering will.

Sophia didn't know the situation of the young knight, and she couldn't fully grasp the relationship between the two in front of her. But she didn't give up thinking because she didn't understand. With a dense mind, she kept piecing together all the pieces of information she had in her mind, trying to figure out Chris's thoughts as much as she could.

The story of ten years ago -

Relationship between Lutga and Flora –

The turmoil of the empire, the bloody repression -

Flora's pregnancy, the Holy Spirit plan, death in battle-

And now, the imperial capital is in turmoil again, and the bloody repression is repeated, and at the same time, Flora uses her sister's body to revive ......

As a first-class intelligence officer, his intuition is sparing no effort to convey some kind of dangerous signal to Sophia, and at the same time, he also tells a chilling conjecture - if everything that has happened in the past ten years is not a coincidence, but an inevitability designed by 'some will' from the beginning, then the beginning and fuse of the incident is the 'forgotten' accident.

At least, that's what Knight Chris thought, and maybe it was the farce staged in the imperial capital a few days ago that convinced him of this conjecture, so he deliberately told Sophia the story of ten years ago just now.

It can only be said that Chris is not a stupid man, and after several encounters, he knows the unusual abilities of Lutga's daughters, especially the last daughter, Sophia, whose dense thoughts are even above those of adults. He probably thinks that if it was Sophia, he might be able to catch the truth that was being covered up faster than himself.

If the Empire's mutation was the result of someone's conspiracy from the beginning, then there is no doubt that after decades of silence, this earth-shattering strategy has once again taken the lead. To this day, though, it is not known who it was and for what purpose it was to turn the empire upside down...... No, it should be said that it is precisely because there is no way to know the identity, intentions and motives of the other party that it seems even more creepy.

At the very least, no one would murder the first emperor and eradicate the crown prince for the sake of 'fun', and then easily let countless people of the empire die. If this move, which is the first time in many years, means that 'the time is ripe', then it is difficult to imagine what scale of uproar the empire will be involved in next......

"Okay, Chris, what the hell do you have any doubts. I'm not going to pursue it. Don't forget what we're here for. ”

"This time, our 'Blade of Legends' is to recapture Her Royal Highness the kidnapped princess and follow Count Rutega Cruznier all the way. Although you are a hostage, you are now free to destroy the landscape of the Empire. And Mr. Kidnapper...... It seems that he is unconscious over there and has not woken up yet. So, what to do next, Your Highness the Princess. ”

"Hah! Good boy, after many years, his mouth is a lot poorer. It seems that you miss my martial arts instructor very much. So let's fight for the first time in a long time—"

At this juncture, Princess Flora's words came to an abrupt end, and at the same time, very abruptly, her demeanor and tone changed, and her hair color changed from bright scarlet to soft myrtle.

"Let's leave it to Hongu to explain. It seems that I can't always give my body to my sister. It's endless. ”

"Everything is at your command, Your Highness LaBelle ......"

It seems that the weak princess is more favored by the knights than the 'strongest in the empire', but I saw that the personality had just changed, and Chris, who was still tense before, immediately lowered his head and made a respectful knightly salute.

"That...... Sophia, please help wake up your father, Mr. Adventurer, who was just saved, seems to have something to say. Now that you're in the western part of the empire, within the territory of the Silian Alliance, it's time to discuss how to take the next step. ”
