The next morning, the crowd gathered in Agnes' palace.

Since the Iron Giant beneath the tower had been torn apart, they finally stopped worrying about Cornes activating the ultimate weapon, after all, it was all like that, and even if there was energy, it wouldn't help.

Agnes reassured herself to turn her attention to her brother Byron.

"Your Highness Agnes," said the Emir, stepping forward, "we should be able to leave it at that point now." ”

At this point, there was no threat to Cornes, and the emir had to catch Frazi in time before he escaped from the royal capital.

"......," Agnes smiled and reminded him, "Émil, you seem to have forgotten what we agreed, and you have to help me get rid of Cones, but even so, our cooperation is not over, is it?" When I defeat Byron and the other candidates for the throne, I have to make you Minister of Defense, this is my reward to my collaborators, and if I don't accept it, won't I be disappointed? ”

Hearing this, Emir couldn't help frowning, although Agnes's tone was quite respectful, her meaning was obvious, Emir had no right to refuse at all.

He glanced at Lucius, if he turned his face at this time, it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to leave alive, and he could use his relationship with Agnes to deal with Frazi and rebuild the Stuart family.

After a little thought, Amir agreed to Agnes.

"Alright then, I'll help your Highness kill Cornes, but I still have a request, I wonder if you can help?"

“…… Of course. Agnes motioned for him to speak.

"Vlazi Stuart, you must have heard of this man."

"Well, although I have never danced with a sword, I have heard of the number one forging master in the royal capital, what? You want me to kill him? ”

“…… How do you know? The emir was amazed.

"Hehe, didn't you notice that your eyes were full of murderous intent?" Agnes looked at him and said leisurely, "But don't be nervous, I have nothing to do with Frazi, in short, you have to understand one thing, as long as you can use it for me, I will naturally help you settle everything." ”

“……”

Emir looked at the elegant woman sitting in the chair, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, now it seems that she is not the kind of princess who can see through the world at a glance, but someone who will do anything for the throne.

It didn't seem to be any different from Byron, but the Emile preferred to work with her, because she hadn't abandoned her knights at least like Byron.

Ophelia was willing to give up her human identity in order to gain power, but she did not lose her glory as a knight, and Byron no longer acted with her, perhaps because once Ophelia's true purpose was known, he was likely to be thwarted by the upright knight.

Ophelia is not like ordinary knights, she is not so pedantic, so even if Byron does not hesitate to use despicable means for the throne, she will not have a problem.

In this way, even Ophelia, who knows how to be flexible, cannot gain Byron's trust, and it is clear that his real purpose is definitely not as simple as the throne, and it is likely to be the same as Cornes, which can explain why these two people who can't fight with eight poles will cooperate.

After a moment, her mind returning to the present, Agnes waved at Lucius and motioned for him to come along.

"Speaking of which, I really don't know about this Frazi, you should have investigated all the big names in the royal capital, let's talk about it."

"Yes," Lucius nodded and said casually, "This guy was originally neutral, but recently I found out that he has a close relationship with the youngest son of the Raymond family, so I guess he should have chosen the side of His Highness Marika like the Raymond family." ”

"I see," Agnes then looked at the emir, "if I move Frazi, you should know what that means, right?" ”

Emir nodded silently, but he still didn't understand, Agnes and Marika were already hostile, why should they take into account each other's feelings?

Agnes seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained with a smile.

"That's right, the competition between candidates for the throne is not as simple as fighting to the death, think about it, if I go to war directly with my own sister Marika, and then fight in a mess, what will the people of the royal capital think of us, of course, they will say that we are brutal and inhumane, although this is the case, but this cannot be shown in front of the masses at will, otherwise even if I win the competition, I will lose the hearts of the people, because no one wants to live under the rule of a tyrant, Therefore, we still pretend to live in harmony with the outside world, and the struggle for power is unfolding in invisible places. ”

"Then you can secretly help me kill Frazi."

"Hehe, of course, I have my own measure in this matter."

"Hmm."

Emir knew what Agnes meant by what he said to him, the fight against Marika's camp had to be carried out out out of sight, and doing him a favor meant that Agnes would be exposed to the risk, and if Marika was provoked, maybe a fish would be killed, and then the entire royal capital would see the true colors of the two princesses.

At this time, Lucius spoke again.

"Your Highness, there is something I have to explain to you."

"Hmm."

"The youngest son of the Raymond family advertises that he is a genius forger, and he has reached a certain cooperation with Frazi, I don't know the specific content, but it will not be a glorious thing, in short, we can start from this aspect."

Agnes listened, thought about the feasibility for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

Lucius bowed, then strode out and assigned tasks to his men.

Emir suddenly remembered the match with Grant that day, and the people present at that time were all members of the Stuart family, but he didn't expect Lucius to even be able to investigate this kind of thing, it should be someone from the clan who leaked the news.

"Well, I'll leave it to Lucius," said Agnes, smiling, "then, my dear emir, what more could you ask for?" ”

"Hehe, it's gone."

Emir smirked, a cold sweat broke out on his back, he felt that this woman was getting more and more dangerous, and when everything was over, it was better to clear the relationship as soon as possible.

……

On the other side, on the outermost high wall of the royal capital, experienced scouts were using binoculars to observe their area of responsibility, mainly pedestrians entering and leaving, as well as the situation on the main road.

After a while, he found that it was still the same as usual, so he planned to pack up his tools and enjoy the breakfast that his companion had brought back.

However, as soon as he removed the telescope from his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something discordant out of the corner of his eye.

There is a large grassland outside the royal capital, but at the junction of the grassland and the city gate, there is always wind and sand for some reason, this scout has been affected by the wind and sand all the year round, and his eyes have become worse and worse, he is ready to resign in a few days and move to the city to maintain law and order.

So at this time, his first reaction was that his eyes were phantoms again, but the experience accumulated from years of work told him that even phantoms had to be carefully confirmed, which was a basic professionalism.

Anyway, he put the telescope on his eyes again, but when he saw the phantoms for what they were, he gasped.

“…… Me, my God, what a monster that! ”

The Scout screams in fright and falls to the ground.

The sudden movement caused a commotion among the soldiers next to them, who had just gotten together to gamble for money, so they quickly helped the scout up and asked about the situation.

"Quick, tell the captain, oh no, let the people below close the city gates." The Scout was a little incoherent, but managed to convey important words as best he could.

"But there are still people outside, and they are all relatives of the nobles."

"Idiot!" The scout yelled, "Do you want the entire royal capital to be buried with those people?" ”

The soldier who asked the question was stunned, then immediately came to his senses and hurried to the bottom of the city gate.

Another soldier couldn't contain his curiosity, snatched the scout's telescope and looked into the distance, only to be frightened and take a few steps back.

He was older and more experienced, he remembered seeing this creature in a monster book when he was a child, and he couldn't remember the specific contents, he only knew that this thing was called a dragon scale monitor lizard, and its strength was quite terrifying.

However, he had never seen so many dragon-scale monitor lizards, and they were heading towards the royal capital.

At this time, the people under the city gate also noticed something strange in the distance.

Those noble children who wanted to go out for an outing hurriedly threw away their carriages and fled into the city, and the people who wanted to come in were no longer patient to queue up.

The captain of the guard, who learned of the situation, hurriedly brought people to maintain order, but unfortunately in the face of the threat of death, everyone lost their minds.

The captain was very experienced in this kind of thing, and directly pulled out his long sword and stabbed a citizen in front of him.

"Ah, you, what are you doing? Do you know who I am? The man was stabbed in the arm and immediately made a big fuss.

"I'll you, whoever you are," the captain kicked the man over in a menacing manner, and then yelled at the crowd, "If you want to live, be honest with me, and see if those monsters kill you first, or if I kill you first." ”

As soon as the captain's words fell, the other guards immediately raised their spears.

Seeing this, the people had no choice but to squat on the ground obediently, secretly cursing the unsighted captain.

However, no matter how high the status of these nobles is, the captain is not afraid, because he is serving the Raymond family, the largest nobleman in the royal capital.

At this time, seeing that everyone was honest, the captain was satisfied, and then casually pulled up a person in front of him and pushed him inside the city gate.

"Go in, don't squeeze, whoever squeezes me will kill whom."

In this way, under the brutal methods of the captain, within two minutes, hundreds of people all entered the city.

Hordes of dragon-scale monitor lizards also arrived at the gates of the city.

Naturally, the captain will not entangle with them too much, but let his subordinates go in first, and he will be responsible for the queen of the palace.

However, the long sword in his hand couldn't hold up for even a second, and in the end, he himself was swept by the tail of the dragon-scale monitor lizard, and the whole person flew directly into the city.

The soldiers hurriedly closed the gate and used several wooden sticks as thick as a man to hold it against it.

But even so, it seems that the gate will not last long.

The dying captain braced himself up and gave the final order to his opponent.

"Go and call the Knights."

“…… Captain, which order do you mean? ”

"Fool, of course, Duke Raymond's Nightmare Knights."

After the captain said this, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and lay down weakly.
