Royal Palace, Atrium.

In the dead of night, except for the knights standing guard and patrolling, almost no one will wander around the palace at this time, so that this courtyard, which has the best scenery in the past, is also the most lively, and the most often people come to walk and relax, presents a cold scene.

Several patrolling knights happened to pass by, chatting as if they had nothing to do with their strong steps.

"Did you hear that? Captain Albert seems to have asked His Majesty the King for a long leave, right? ”

"I heard about it, and the reason seems to be that I feel that I am not strong enough, and I want to devote myself to cultivation seriously, and I have no time to manage the knights anymore, so I temporarily resigned from the position of knight chief."

"No wonder the knights on the side of the First Knight Branch have been looking a little impetuous recently, it turns out that Knight Captain Albert has resigned?"

"There's no way, being defeated by a 17-year-old boy who didn't know his name before, this should be a very big blow to the one who was born in the Sword Saint family, right?"

"Now everyone is already a sword master, and I heard that they have not tasted defeat so far, no matter who it is, they can't avoid his thunder flash, can't dodge his lightning speed, although Albert Knight Captain is very strong, but he is not a sword saint after all, it is not a shame to lose to the now famous thunder light sword saint, right?"

"That's true, but the guys on the side of the First Knight Branch seem to be angry about the matter of Knight Captain Albert, and they have been fanning the flames recently, and they want to ask the Sword Saint of the Borlei family to take action and go to save face with the Thunder Light Sword Saint."

"Huh? Are those guys all right in their heads? ”

"Isn't that just that you can't afford to lose?"

"It's normal, the people in the First Knight Branch are either vassals or even collateral children of the Borlei family, or people from families who are directly related to the Borleiyi family, almost all of the First Knight Branch are related to the Borleiyi family, Knight Captain Albert is not only their knight captain, but also the object of their allegiance in the future, and now that they have lost so miserably, there must be many of them who feel that they can't just give up."

"If the one from the Borleiyi family makes a move, then this time it will really be a big deal, right?"

"Juggernaut vs. Juggernaut...... Juggernaut"

"It's a little scary, but I kind of want to see it."

"Me too."

The knights chatted about the subject as they followed the prescribed route, glancing around from time to time, to prove that although they were chatting, they were not less vigilant and defensive.

However, a few seconds later, they suddenly found a magic array appearing in the sky above the atrium.

"What's that?"

"Magic Circle?"

"Oops! Something is going to happen! ”

Several knights reacted immediately, drawing their swords almost reflexively.

But the worst they imagined didn't happen.

The magic array that appeared in mid-air did not attack, nor did it take any action, but only caused a figure to emerge from it and fall to the ground.

Then, the magic array disappeared, leaving only the figure, slowly dripping blood on the ground, and after a while, the ground beneath him was dyed red.

The knights quickly gathered around.

It didn't take long for them to let out an exclamation.

"Isn't this the third prince?"

"How is it the third prince?"

"What a serious injury!"

"Quick! Go and call the court magician! ”

"Something happened to the third prince!"

The silence of the palace in the dead of night was broken at this moment.

On this night, many people were destined to have no sleep.

…………

On the other side, after finishing his work, Rig returned to the Franzel Mansion alone after putting all the black-clad and bloody knives into the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

Mist drifted from outside the window of a room and into the room, allowing Riger's figure to emerge from it.

"Huh?"

As soon as he returned to his room, Rig noticed that there was a man here.

"Master."

Lizzie, holding the sword, sat there a little uneasy, and when she saw Rige returning, she immediately stood up.

"Why are you here?"

Rieger was surprised as he walked over to Liz.

"Because I felt the host leave the room......"

Liz explained quietly.

The existence of the squire contract has created a magical connection between Rige and Liz.

Not only does this link allow both of them to keep the contract, but it also has many other effects, such as making both parties to the contract feel where the other person is.

Thanks to this, Rieger left the room in the middle of the night, and no one else noticed, but Liz found out at the first time.

She had wanted to follow, but when she thought of what Rig had talked to St. Charlia before, the little princess guessed what Rig was going to do this trip.

So, Liz hesitated for a long time, struggled for a long time, and finally did not choose to follow, but stayed in Rige's room and waited for him to return.

"I see." Li Ge nodded abruptly and said to Liz: "Actually, you don't have to come over, just stay in your room." ”

Anyway, Liz's room was next to Riege's room, and there was only a wall between the two, so Liz could have stayed in her room and waited, and there was no need to come and wait for Rieg.

"But, but ......"

Liz lowered her head, rubbing her toes a little uneasily.

Seeing this, Rig probably guessed Liz's current mood.

"How?" Rieg smiled at Liz and said, "Do you care about what I did to my brother?" ”

“…… I'm sorry. Liz was seen through her mind and immediately hung her head and said, "I know I shouldn't be like this." ”

"Nothing." Li Ge touched Liz's head and said, "No matter what, that person is your half-brother, and you will subconsciously care about his life and death, which is normal." ”

"I—I'm just wondering how he's doing, nothing else!" Liz hurriedly explained to Liger: "Brother Sorok, he wants to be unfavorable to the master, it is normal for the master to fight back, and I don't think what the master did is wrong, if I am here, I will definitely help the master against my brother." ”

Liz was a little worried about whether Rige would suspect that she had a different heart.

If Rieger had developed a distrust of herself because of this, Liz would have cried on the spot.

"I know, you don't have to explain." Li Ge shook his head, soothed Liz, and said, "I don't doubt you, I can understand you, and I want to thank you for understanding me, so you don't need to be so honest." ”

It stands to reason that Rige is going out to the detriment of Liz's own brother, and Liz should stop Lige in turn, and even make enemies of Rige in order to protect the safety of his family.

However, Liz chose to acquiesce to Rieg's approach, proving that she had chosen between Rig's master and Sorok's brother, and decided to support Rig over Sorok.

This is not because of the existence of the squire contract, nor because of the so-called loyalty, but because Liz is more willing to trust and support the current master than the tyrannical brother.

She knew that her brother was at fault first, and that it was not Riege's fault, so even though she knew that Rig wanted to be against Sorok, Liz decided not to stop him.

Based on this alone, Rieg would not have any objection to Liz's concerns, but felt that it was human nature, and that he should apologize to Liz and thank Liz.

After all, from the moment Rige was about to make a move on Sorok, he had already ignored Liz's feelings, ignoring the fact that she and Sorok were brother and sister.

Therefore, there was no need for Liz to make such a gesture, and it would only be Rige who was wrong, not her.

"I don't know if I should tell you or not, so I can rest assured."

Rig gave a general account of his confrontation with Sorok and said this.

"He escaped, although he was seriously injured, it is not strange when he died, but there is a high probability that he will be saved."

The teleportation location set by Sorok's transfer crystal must be a place that he thinks is safe and can be rescued no matter what happens.

Eighty percent of this place is a royal palace.

And there are a group of court magicians stationed in the palace all the year round, these magicians can all have unique skills and superb magical attainments, otherwise they will not be favored by the royal family and recruited into the palace.

Even Yuri has the position of chief court magician hanging on her body, which shows how high the level of the court magicians in the palace is, and some of them must be tactical-level magicians who can even use tactical-level magic.

In such a group of magicians, if there is no one who is proficient in healing and healing magic, then Li Ge will never believe it.

With this in mind, and considering that the palace must be home to a lot of potions and magic items with miraculous effects, Rige believes that there is a good chance that Sorok will escape this time.

"This—That's it......"

Liz has a sense of ambivalence about whether to be relieved that her loved one didn't die, or to regret that her master didn't do what she wanted to do.

Rieger continued to touch Liz's head and said a few words.

"Although the mad dog is not dead, the royal family will definitely pursue this matter in the future, I am not afraid, but I can't affect the Franzel family because of this."

"I'm going to disguise myself, but you have to remember that you can't just spread the word about it, and it's better not to reveal that we've been in contact with the Cordelion family."

"Got it?"

Lizzy naturally knew what Rieg was saying.

"Got it, master, I won't pass it on."

Liz made a promise.

Rieger wasn't worried that Lizzy would say anything.

With the squire contract at play, Liz can't do anything that is unfavorable to Rigg, the master.

Even if it was information, if it was exposed and it would have a bad effect on Rige, the squire couldn't say it.

Rig only instructed for a moment, then looked out the window.

Tonight's moon is exceptionally round.

It's December!

New month! Ask friends to vote for a monthly pass!

I hope that friends who have monthly passes in their hands will support you!

Thanks! (＾Ｕ＾)ノ~ＹＯ
