In the northern part of the Imperial City of Zesertoria, there is a vast and clear mountain lake, but no resident of the Imperial Capital wants to approach it. The reason is very simple, because it is the site left by the Holy King who slayed the dragon when he killed the demon dragon when it was founded.

In the shattered ruins that sits by the lake, there is still a suffocating and heavy magic that is impossible for ordinary people to approach. The magic itself has no temperature, but when the concentration exceeds a certain level, it will cause people to get drunk or even poisoned. Therefore, the area around Lake Yamanaka was divided into forbidden areas by the Imperial Family.

Although it is a forbidden place, it does not mean that you will immediately worry about your life when you enter the lakeside, at least compared to the dense forest where wild monsters are rampant, this place is much safer. Moreover, as long as it is not close to the ruins, the lake itself can even be called a tourist mecca with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. No one may believe it, but in fact, in the imperial capital, many nobles will secretly go to the mountains and lakes for trysts.

Of course, when it comes to this kind of thing, the suave idiot prince must inevitably intervene, so he knows everything about how to break through the guards of Lake Yamanaka, including the route to sneak into.

So, on this day, under the leadership of the three sisters and brothers of the royal family, Lutega and his party came to this forbidden place in the imperial capital. However, even when they reached their destination, they didn't know what they were here for. However, today, in addition to his own group, there are several strange figures.

Appearing in front of everyone, it was all young girls, a total of five people, all wearing the uniforms of the candidates of the Knight Academy, except for the facial features are very good, the appearance of these girls is actually not similar, but for some reason, the atmosphere they reveal makes people feel very similar.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here today, and I am a great honor to be here. ”

As long as he doesn't reveal his true nature, just in terms of appearance and conversation, the idiot prince can still perfectly play a temperamental royal family and deceive most people, including now.

"Perhaps everyone here is very confused as to why I am bringing you here today. To be honest, on the other side of this lake, is the forbidden land of the Terence Empire, the place where the legendary magic dragon is sealed, and there are unimaginable dangers...... However, we, as the knight candidates of the Legendary Blade, the most elite of the Empire, cannot be afraid of such unfounded rumors. We must use our strength and experience to overcome and challenge! Today, we will cross the dense forest from the east side of the lake to the place where the ruins are, and I ask you to lend me courage, and I declare this as a member of the royal family of the Terence Empire...... Ahh——!!h

It was only halfway through the sentence that Flora's face became more and more ugly, and she rushed forward with a skillful knife to knock down her impassioned brother. Then he grabbed him by the neck, completely ignoring the young men and girls who were still in place, and dragged him all the way to the distance—

"Hey, bastard, what are you nervous about! I just said that I was just holding a social party, why would you be involved in such a thing? And rashly broke into the forbidden land, are you impatient to live!? There are dangerous demonic beasts of the ghost system wandering around the forbidden land, and I can't protect so much by myself! Not to mention that LaBelle is also here!"

"Sister, sister, don't worry, rest assured......! There is no danger in the place we are going, I vouch for my personality! At the destination, I have arranged for my friends to prepare an open-air banquet, and the route of travel only looks a little gloomy. This is actually the place where some of my friends and I usually have trysts with the daughters of the nobles. You, you see, don't you have a unique atmosphere! Let Lutega and the little girls form a pair of pairs, showing the reliable and brave side of men! After breaking through all the dangers, there will be a dreamy and noble dinner party, which can easily be won by any saint!"

"Hah, that's amazing, you're stupid enough to do such a troublesome thing for such a boring plan......"

He said this, but Flora's eyes were full of indifferent disdain. It seems that she has felt hopeless for her younger brother, who can play endless tricks for fun.

"It's too much to say this, I'm doing my best, and it's all at your request, sister!"

"Forget it, it's fine, anyway, according to the original plan, just in case, I'll be on guard at the end of the queue. LaBelle will be left to you to take care of. ”

In this way, Flora flashed her spear and followed the group alone in pairs and into the gloomy woods by the lake.

To be honest, the atmosphere was much more awkward than expected. If it were usual, when playing with the noble children, everyone was already stuck together with the noble girls around them in the jungle. But the current atmosphere is not like this at all, whether it is the teenagers of the 'Idiot Army' or the saints from the [Goddess Sect], all of them are silent, and they are all vigilant about the surroundings with a straight face, and there is no chance to talk at all.

It can only be said that this is the prince's miscalculation, he didn't expect this group of people to be so serious and rigid one by one. No, in fact, I can't blame them, but I blame myself for the fact that my speech just now was too realistic. Now everyone is in the mood of stepping into the battlefield, and completely regards this operation as a training subject, which is completely different from the noble men and women who usually visit with a tryst mentality.

"Now, what kind of medicine is this selling in the gourd?"

The prince was questioned by another sister who followed him, the gentle and sick princess LaBel. Of course, she didn't know the original intention of this plan, after all, Flora wanted to break up her relationship with her sweetheart, and it was absolutely impossible to tell the truth. But in this way, it is really incredible why she is here with everyone.

"Uh...... It's just a part of field training~~"

"Oh, what about the girls? ”

"Those girls are all newly admitted knight candidates in the academy, and we, as seniors, must of course set an example in actual combat drills......

"Hehe, this really doesn't look like what His Royal Highness the Prince, who has been training in the field for all kinds of reasons since he entered the school, would say. So, what about the truth?"

"Wait, wait, Sister Rabe, don't act like I've been lying since the beginning!

"Really, I'll give you another chance, I'm going to be angry if I don't tell the truth?"

With a smile on her face, LaBelle said quietly that almost no one had ever seen LaBelle angry, but that didn't mean she wasn't angry. In fact, the prince, who is a blood relative, knows very well that it will be very terrifying to annoy LaBel.

"No, no, as I just said!"

However, on second count, it was Flora's side that was even more terrifying, and he didn't want to recuperate in the dormitory behind closed doors because he broke the leg bones on both sides.

"Forget it~~ I won't force you, I've already seen through my sister's little abacus. Those girls are the 'holy women' recently installed in the imperial capital by the [Goddess Sect]. ”

"Poof...... You, how do you know?"

"Don't worry about it, I've just heard it from my 'friends'. LaBelle replied bliantly.

But the prince knows that this is impossible, and the reason why he himself can know the true identity of these transfer girls is because he will go to the bottom of all the beautiful girls who appear around him, and the motive is of course impure. In fact, the true identities of these girls, their relationship with the [Goddess Cult], and the motives for surmising to come to the imperial capital are all highly confidential. You must know that after entering the school, these 'holy women' behaved in an extremely low-key manner, and they would not even talk to each other too much, and it was difficult to find the connection and intersection between them from the perspective of a bystander.

At least, this is definitely not the information that will appear in the secret words of girls. This is exactly what makes LaBelle terrible, even if she is sick and weak, she can always learn all kinds of information from the mouth of her 'friend', and quickly deduce the connection between the events, and even find out the dark shadow behind the scenes, which is not at all like the intelligence ability of a princess and a sixteen-year-old girl.

"It's just that you and your sister have a misunderstanding. ”

"Huh...... what?"

"They...... These saints did not come here to marry the nobles of the empire and thus gain the political background of the empire. They should have other purposes. ”

"How could it be ......?"

"If these girls really wanted to catch the golden beetle, someone would have fallen a long time ago. Their appearance, even I, who am also a woman, can't help but feel the degree of jealousy. But to this day, no nobleman has made them a target, including you...... Don't you think it's incredible?"

“......”

Sister's mention made the prince's eyes widen, and it wasn't until this moment that he realized the indescribable abnormality-

Why, then, until this moment, had he not been in the mood for these beautiful 'holy maidens'? because they were not noble-born, because they were royalty, and could not marry poor girls as their concubines? No, no, neither. The prince did not think about these things, and he even used to set foot in the prostitution parlors in the lower city to have fun.

Although it is not nice to say, he is such a scumbag, and if he just wants to have fun with women, there is no need to care about their status at all, because from the beginning, he had no intention of being responsible for it.

"After all, who proposed this farce? I know you very well, brother, although you have no discipline and have always been loyal to her instincts towards women, you are basically a smart and steady child when you encounter big things. This time, bringing suspicious outsiders into the forbidden land of the empire doesn't look like your style at all. There are many safe ways to help Lutega match karma, right? That's why I'm here today. ”

"This, this proposal, the proposal is ......" coldly, the prince's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he himself did not expect that LaBelle's quiet inquiry would make him shake so violently. In my mind, suddenly the world began to turn upside down without warning.

At this moment, the group was already approaching the exit of the jungle - the destination was in sight.

But what awaited them was not the long-prepared open-air banquet, but the stenching corpse -
