Chapter 177: Chaos, Promise
"It's actually Saula and Ravitch from the Thorn Flower Wizard Regiment directly under the royal family? Doesn't it mean that these two magicians have reached the peak of level 8 magic and are preparing to attack the highest temple of magicians? But how can they be here? Could it be that these stupid fellows of Stanford have some rare magic items that can attract these two peak magicians in the empire? Or is this itself the order of the royal family? If that were the case, our revered Emperor would be jealous of his partiality towards the Stanford gang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut in this case, that little guy is in danger, without the help of his old butler, no matter how strong his talent is, it is impossible for him to deal with a full 12 night watchmen, what a pity, I heard that this little fellow of Alfred has already carried out his full construction in the wasteland before coming to the imperial capital? It can be seen that this is a child with ambition and ambition, the key is that he still has the skill, and he also has the ability to match his ambition, coupled with his amazing talent on the road of knighthood, I even dare to predict that as long as he is given time, not much, even if it is only 10 years, he will be able to do better and go further - unfortunately, he has no chance, if nothing else, tonight's silver moon will also erect a sad tombstone for him. ”
Frodo, who never hid his emotions, sighed deeply.
Standing in the living room, looking at Augustus struggling on the grass outside the living room, he said casually, as for the intention, of course, it was very clear, that is, to make his little princess more and more worried, more and more worried, and then he would be more and more comfortable- He never doubted that his daughter would reject him, although Sophia had not signed the oath until now, nor had she answered him clearly, but that didn't matter, he did know that his daughter had her own stubbornness and pride, even if she had no choice, she would definitely still struggle, although she might not be able to struggle for real hope in the end.
He didn't look back at his little princess.
But he just knew he wouldn't have to wait too long.
However, he was doomed to disappointment.
......
Sophia clutched the parchment of the oath in her hand, her eyes cold.
The content of the pledge on the parchment is very simple, two main points, one is for Sophia to admit that she voluntarily renounces Constantine's first succession, and the other is for her to offer to stay away from the imperial capital as much as possible, away from Constantine's inner circle- Speaking of which, these two points cannot be said to be too much compared to the sequelae caused by Sophia leading the Knights of Constantine to trample on Stanford, and considering that she herself is not too interested in the so-called Constantine first-order inheritance, and she is not too keen on the helmsman of the Constantine family from beginning to end, once she agrees to sign this oath, not only will she not need to pay attention to the sequelae of Stanford, but at the same time, she will be able to use the power of the Constantine family to solve the mortal situation faced by Augustus, and she will have no reason to refuse。
But she didn't even think about signing this oath.
At least not yet.
This is not to say that she does not want to solve the mortal situation that Augustus is currently facing, nor is it not at all that she does not want to fulfill the latter's dirty and despicable mind in this simple way, to put it bluntly, what does it matter to her whether Frodo is dead or alive and whether he is happy or not? But today, many things are not as simple as she can make an easy decision, for example, if she hastily signs an oath and withdraws from the race for succession to the Constantine family, what will happen to her personal butler Nicholas?
Besides, why her grandfather and Mass wanted her to be involved in this battle, she still had no answer.
Again.
Even if none of this mattered, she could have done nothing, selfishly defending only her and the Augustus she wanted to maintain, but the important thing was that Augustus would accept her help in this form? She knew Augustus, so of course she understood Augustus's pride—even if Augustus got out of the current predicament, he would be grateful to her, but in the bottom of her heart? Wouldn't the proud Augustus have a bad feeling because of this?
Yes, he would never say it, and she would never have a chance to know, but she still couldn't simply try, otherwise what was the point of Augustus's desperate struggle at this time?
He's fighting.
And she surrendered?
Sophia sneered, even if she surrendered, she would have to fight until the last moment before thinking about it.
This is Augustus' habitual thinking, and of course it is also her habitual thinking.
She was never a cowardly and indecisive little girl.
She tossed the parchment in her hand onto the table beside her, ignoring Turing's frown, and said to Nicholas simply, "It's almost time." ”
Nicholas nodded slightly.
With a gentle smile on his face, he calmly walked past Frodo in front of him and walked out of the living room door, and before that, Nicholas, who had been standing beside His Royal Highness the Princess, really didn't worry at all, and didn't think about what was the point of his previous efforts and the layout of the succession of the Constantine family if His Royal Highness surrendered and gave up the inheritance, because he believed that His Royal Highness the Princess would make the most correct decision.
He pulled a flute made of twigs out of his pocket at the door of the living room.
Blowing softly, it also made a crisp sound and quickly disappeared into the chaos of war.
A dark shadow suddenly appeared, appearing in front of him without warning, half-kneeling at his feet.
Nicholas looked at the battlefield on the grass not far away, and said with a slow smile: "Since these people in Stanford have not restrained themselves because this is His Highness's coming-of-age ceremony, then we need to make them pay an unbearable price, go ahead, inform the knights of the Golden Hibiscus, Her Royal Highness does not want any Stanford knights around her manor to breathe- Then the next thing is my personal meaning, I want you to clean up the enemies here, and then charge all the way to the Stanford district, I want to see the fire burning in Stanford here, I want the wail and blood under the fire of Stanford to become the most beautiful elegy for His Highness's coming-of-age ceremony. ”
The shadow bowed and retreated.
Soon the streets outside Violet Manor were heard with the galloping of horses' hooves and the roar of the earth.
And that's just the beginning.
Nicholas thought for a moment, and looked at Augustus, who was becoming more and more dangerous on the grass, and even showed his crimson bandage, he suddenly turned around, and looked at the main building behind him, and saw at a glance that in the bright moonlight, a woman in a white robe, almost blending in with the moonlight, happened to look him in the eyes.
The woman was high on top, and her long and eerie purple hair was incomparably deep under the silver moon.
A silver cross necklace hung from her chest, and if Augustus could see it, he would not be familiar with it.
Nicholas smiled and nodded.
The woman who appeared at the top of the main building at some point frowned quietly.
Nicholas was still smiling, of course, knowing the other party's scruples, he just touched the cross necklace that His Royal Highness the Princess had given him.
The necklace shimmered with a cold glow in the moonlight.
The woman could not hesitate any longer, and took two steps forward on the roof, and suddenly there were nine more people beside her, dressed exactly the same as her.
They threw themselves on the grass.
The tide of battle is reversed again.
The 9 white-robed people who suddenly landed on the grass pointed their swords directly at the 12 black-robed night watchmen besieging Augustus, and also made the night watchman who was not involved in the siege of old Vernon for the time being due to his injuries and Clark's participation in the battle, and the order of the night watchman couldn't help but squint his eyes suddenly.
"Enforcers of the Sacramental Ministry?"
How could these bastards be here, and so blatantly hostile to his ruling?
......
It's getting more and more exciting.
Frodo, who had looked back at his little princess as early as Nicholas walked out of the living room, was gradually gloomy, and he would not hide his emotions in the first place, so when he saw that his little princess was even more stubborn and stubborn than he imagined, instead of compromising, he launched a further attack, of course he would be surprised and stunned, and then show that his anger and gloom were just as natural.
He squinted his eyes and sneered: "After all, I have grown up, my little princess is more and more able to surprise me - I will give you one last chance, sign the oath, give up the inheritance of Constantine, I will let him live, and let you leave the imperial capital, otherwise not only will he be drowned in the hatred of Stanford, and then face the gallows of the Inquisition, and even she will die." ”
His finger pointed to the second floor of the living room.
There, Elizabeth stood quietly.
Sophia clenched her fists suddenly, her knuckles white.
Vile?
Shameless?
No, no, no, in fact, this is just a means to achieve the goal, and to hold on to death is a bit unscrupulous.
Frodo pressed forward step by step, and continued: "This is not over, when they are all dead, and the people you care about are dead, the people of Stanford will not forgive you either, after all, it was your Heavy Armored Knights who trampled them hard, and at that time, without the protection of the Constantine family, it would be difficult for your Heavy Armored Knights to face the revenge of the entire Stanford, right?
Sophia still didn't say a word.
Her face grew paler.
On the other hand, Prince Colum and Master Austin, who were able to stay in the living room because of their status, and listened to the conversation between the father and daughter of Constantine, couldn't help but speak.
They don't know the dirty things of the Constantine family, so they can't easily stand in front of Sophia, their identity is too sensitive, this is the internal matter of the Constantine family, it is a matter of fighting for Constantine's inheritance, even if they want to protect Sophia they want to protect, but what can they do?
Compared to the city of Austin, Prince Colum is obviously more frank.
He was the first to speak, sighing, "Marquis Frodo, although this is a competition, I must say that it is really not in keeping with your romantic status as a poet. ”
Then Austin noticed Sophia's white knuckles, and also noticed Sophia's pale face, and he could feel Sophia's anger and helplessness.
Even though it was for the sake of that lowly sinner, Austin was still distressed.
He was expressionless and said succinctly: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt Sophia, not to mention the arrogant fools of Stanford, even you, it is impossible to hurt her." ”
"This is my most serious commitment. ”
