"Sister."

Alice spotted Christine walking by, and greeted her with some joy.

"Hmm...... Good evening, Alice. ”

Christine, wearing a mask, responded softly to Alice.

She took a few steps forward, and with the help of the moonlight, she suddenly saw several people more clearly.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, what a beautiful girl.

"You're back, how are things going?"

Ji Yan said with a smile, while looking around Christine to look at the four people behind her.

The four of them felt his gaze and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Christine didn't answer, but looked at Cinderella beside Ji Yan with an inquiring gaze.

"She's also a trustworthy person, so she doesn't shy away too much."

Ji Yan nodded, and then motioned for the door to go first.

A few people walked through the gate, and the four of them left on their own accord with a sense of humor.

The candles in the room were lit, and the dark room suddenly brightened.

"I've managed to get in touch with White Night, but luckily they didn't have much to lose in that incident."

"With the help you gave me, the organization will soon be able to occupy their original chassis."

“……”

Christine's vague gaze left Cinderella's body, and then reduced the matter to a few words.

Is this the person Ji Yan brought back from the banquet?

Of course, I know that he is not the kind of person who is biased because of his appearance, so this person must have something important in him, or a special ability.

Christine doesn't pursue so much, presumably Ji Yan also has his own plans.

Although I am curious about the identity of this elf-like girl, my current focus should be more on the expansion of the organization.

It can only be said that Cinderella's current changes are so great that even the people Ji Yan has been with for many years almost don't recognize them, not to mention that Christine and her have only met once.

"By the way, when are you going to get started?"

"I'm here to make plans and schedules, so I don't have to be in a hurry."

Christine took off her hood and asked Ji Yan casually.

Then he reached out and touched the mask and was about to take it off together, but he remembered that there was a stranger here.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally put her hand down and did not take off the mask.

Let's wait until the wound on my face heals.

Christine comforted herself in her heart.

"Hmmm......"

Ji Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the solid brown wood tabletop, making a rhythmic sound in the silent room.

"I'm not really sure here, because there's one more thing about her that hasn't been resolved."

He said in a deep voice, the figure of Teacher Cinderella flashing in his mind.

This should be the most troublesome existence he has ever seen, and even Alice has difficulty anchoring her position for the first time.

But what is certain is that her strength is definitely not as good as Alice.

Otherwise, according to the character described by Cinderella, she would not have just chosen to leave.

Hearing this, Christine looked at the girl to his left with some confusion.

Seeing this, Ji Yan briefly explained the matter.

"Blindfolded, unknown strength of a strong female ......"

Kristen recalled it in her memory, but she couldn't find a similar figure.

Of course, the world is big, and there are many hidden powerhouses.

Not all beings like to be present.

For example, the few Radiant Moon Warlocks I met in the North this time had never heard of them at all.

Well...... Now that I think about it, maybe I was directly served by Ji Yan in my previous life.

And she did seem to have heard of a time in the North when a large area of nobility disappeared into thin air.

At that time, I thought that he was killed because of the battle for the northern border, but now I think of Ji Yan's attitude towards the forces of that faith group.

Maybe he was sent to see death......

Anyway, Christine didn't think that this girl's teacher could pose any threat to Ji Yan.

In fact, Ji Yan thinks the same way, but she feels that Teacher Cinderella's ability has some troubles, and even Alice's strength is difficult to anchor her.

However, I heard Alice say that this is because her current control still can't fully match the strength, and she can only drive one or two at most.

If you can control it completely, then you can definitely ban her in place.

Ji Yan suddenly remembered something and reminded Christine.

"By the way, Duke Arendelle seems to have fallen."

"Duke Arendelle has fallen?!"

Christine looked up at the person in front of her in some surprise, and then her heart was full of doubts.

Because it doesn't match the history she knows.

The Duke of Arendelle's death didn't happen so early!

Distance estimation should be a few months before fatigue appears, then unconscious, and finally a weak fall.

How come death has been pushed forward by a few months now?

Christine was shocked, but then it occurred to her that it was not because of her own joining that the butterfly flickered its wings slightly.

Then a wind was set off, and history turned another corner at this moment.

In short, now Christine doesn't know where history will eventually lead her.

"Yes, a lot of nobles have already gone back to prepare, so you'd better move a little faster now."

"Otherwise, you may not even be able to drink the soup by then."

Although Ji Yan reminded him so, he was not too worried that Christine's development would be frustrated.

With so many favorable conditions, even a pig sitting in that position can seize a part of the territory.

Christine nodded solemnly, it seemed that her plan would have to be adjusted in real time according to the existing situation.

They talked casually and then went back to their rooms.

It's just that since Cinderella has just arrived, Ji Yan took her to arrange a room.

At the moment, only Alice and Christine remained.

Christine glanced at the little girl, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her soft cheek.

"Hmm...... Sister ......"

Alice said with some difficulty, looking at Christine blankly.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel a little itchy in my hands."

The girl said this, but she did not put her hand down.

If you don't dig around now, you won't have much of a chance in the future.

Thinking of this, the corners of Christine's mouth curled slightly, staring at Alice with an inexplicable gaze.

This made her even more confused for a while.

Why does it feel like my sister, she has a sudden desire for revenge against herself.

This must be my own delusion.

"By the way, do you know who that person is just now?"

"Hmm...... It seems like...... It seems that Brother Ji Yan has known each other for a long time...... Friend...... The name seems to be Sind......"

Because of the fact that her face was grabbed, Alice's speech was a little slurred.

"Sind ......"

Christine's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Cinderella?"

Alice nodded vigorously.

It turned out to be her?

Christine recalls the image of a student wearing thick-rimmed glasses with a slightly curved back.

It's just that I can't connect it to her now.

"Hmm...... Sister...... Did my sister let go? ”

Alice looked at Christine pitifully, not at all in the slightest that she was suppressing Kazuki at that time.

"I'm sorry, no......"

Christine gave a devilish smile before holding out her other hand.

"Alice must promise me that she will never be a Riddler in the future, okay?"

"Mmmm......mmmm

……

"Elsie, when can we go to the imperial capital......

In a large room, there was only a small candle flame for lighting.

The dim light faltered, distorting the figures in the room against the wall.

Arman said to Elsie beside him with a hint of trepidation on his face.

The maid stood quietly behind her, silent.

"Arman, don't you know? Can't go. ”

Elsie replied calmly.

"But, but isn't that grandpa's strategy? And it's already been discussed with the imperial capital......"

Arman's voice trembled involuntarily as he looked at Elsie with a wistful gaze.

"Don't you want to go? How do you change your mind now? ”

"I ...... I ......"

Arman was hesitant and a little difficult to speak.

In fact, he didn't want to go to the imperial capital in the first place, because it restricted his freedom.

But now......

Arman thought of those malicious glances, which seemed to hide a demon that wanted to eat him alive.

He knew very well that this was because of his direct bloodline, which posed a great threat to their uncle.

After all, the theory of descent is still relatively popular in this world.

So now Arman knows very well that his situation is actually dangerous.

At this moment, he would rather go to the betrothed person than stay in this northern frontier where his life could be lost at any moment.

At least over there, it's just a loss of face and being looked down upon.

But in order to survive, what is the point of face?

"I know, but they've all done that kind of thing, and they're going to abide by it?"

Elsie whispered, a chill flashing across her eyes.

"Oprier, have you found anything?"

"Miss Hui, I doubt it...... Ashley made a deal with an outside power. ”

"Outside forces?"

Elsie rolled his gaze.

"There are signs that Ashley has recently become very close to the forces of the new gods."

The maid was not in a hurry, and reported to Elsie some of the information she had just investigated.

"In other words, do they also share in the fall of grandpa?"

When Arman heard this, he was even more frightened.

Even the grandfather who is a duke can be killed, let alone an inconspicuous little shrimp like himself.

How he longed to go to the imperial capital now, to accept the protection of the emperor.

"Next ......"

Elsie took a deep breath and began to plan how to fight back.

When she learns that her family has been invaded by outside forces, there is simply no way she can sit still.

However, before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Wait, who are you!"

"Who let you in! This is Miss Elsie's room ......."

"Ahh

The noise was accompanied by a fierce clash of swords.

Several people in the room looked at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Then Arman's face suddenly changed drastically, and his legs began to tremble.

"It's over, it's definitely my uncle who is coming to kill us."

"What to do, Elsie, what are we going to do."

His terrified gaze couldn't help but look at Elsie, hoping for a solution from her.

Elsie's face froze, and then she glanced at the maid.

The maid soon cast a spell to visualize what was happening outside.

I saw corpses all over the corridor and blood flowing.

Not far away, there is still a fierce fight.

It didn't seem to be very far away from them.

Elsie's brows furrowed together, a little incredulous that Ashley would kill herself in front of everyone.

But now that the situation is urgent, it is impossible for her to put her safety on such vague speculation.

"Now we have to go first."

Elsie sighed slightly, and opened the tunnel.

Soon the door of the room flew out directly after a violent impact, smashing a window and landing in the middle of the courtyard.

And a group of people covered in blood and murderous spirit also walked in.

Their grim eyes scanned the room, but they didn't find any figures.

"They're supposed to be in the tunnel."

Ashley stepped out from behind the crowd, glanced at it casually, and pointed out where the tunnel was.

One person stepped forward to open it, and indeed found traces of the three people escaping.

"Don't panic, I know the exit of the secret passage, just send someone to wait for them on the other side."

Ashley smiled, and suddenly a man who wasn't dead struggled to his feet.

"You...... You traitor to your family! ”

"Collusion with outsiders ......"

He grabbed his weapon and rushed towards him with a fierce look in his eyes.

Ashley was the only one in his eyes.

Seeing that his knife was about to cut off his head, the man showed a hint of relief.

But then an invisible force knocked it out, and the knife fell out of his hand.

His eyes widened and he looked at the people around him with resentment.

Finally, I finally swallowed my breath.

Ashley wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked over to the man.

After confirming that he was dead, he closed his eyes.

Otherwise, staring at yourself like this, there is always a feeling of panic.

"Don't blame me, the main thing is that they are also in a hurry......"

Ashley babbled and then said to the man in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Elsie won't be able to escape, I'll personally send it to you when the time comes."

"Hmph, I'm not worried about your ability to do things, the Holy Maiden will be escorted by ourselves!"

One of them snorted coldly, not giving Ashley any face.

"No problem, no problem."

Ashley smiled at this, and then beckoned the others to show them the way.

Seeing this situation, even some people in the Arendelle family who sided with Ashley couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Although he was dissatisfied with Duke Arendelle's decision-making, this was not a reason to grovel to outsiders.

You're going to be the master of a clan, and you're going to be so humble?

Is this their family, or is it an outsider's family?
