In the palace, the guards were standing quietly at their posts, carefully guarding the surroundings.

Yet, in a place they didn't notice, a lurking shadow was creeping closer.

A flash of light flashed, it was a dinner knife, not the kind that little Lori and others usually use, but sharper, made of stainless steel, not so much to cut bread, but to cut people's throats.

"Whew!"

The sharp blade cut a terrible wound in the guard's neck.

"Who!?"

It was only then that the guards on the other side spotted the enemy, a petite maid.

"Huh!?"

However, before he could make any other moves, a steel wire that shimmered with cold light appeared in front of his eyes, and then quickly, like a poisonous snake, coiled around his neck.

"Ga ......"

The poor guard let out a toad-like cry, then struggled a few times, and then remained motionless.

"It's done here. ”

Rowan walked out from behind him, clapped his hands and said.

"Here we are, here it is!"

Rebecca pointed to the door between the two guards, where the King and Queen were under house arrest.

"It doesn't look like a magic trap, but the mechanism of the door lock is complicated. ”

First, Jessica stepped forward to check it out.

"Leave it to me!"

Rebecca took out a set of wire tools from her pocket, fiddled with them in front of the crowd, and with a soft click, the door opened.

So on the other side of the door. The frail king and queen came into view.

"Father, queen mother!"

For a moment, Isabella lost her mind. rushed over and hugged the two of them.

"Isa!?Why are you here!?"

"Did Germain ...... you too?"

Faced with the sudden arrival of their daughter, King and Queen Cliff became overwhelmed.

"Your Majesty. And the Queen, we have come to your rescue.

I don't have time to explain now, please leave here with us. ”

Leah stepped forward and said.

"Can I use teleportation, Leah?"

The princess asked.

"No, there's something blocking the effect of teleportation magic on Your Majesty and the Queen. ”

Leah shook her head. It stands to reason that after finding the king and queen, it is the ideal way to return to Iron Wing with a teleportation spell.

"Yes, the Forbidden Demon Seal. An excellent magic technique used by the knights of the Holy Cult to stop magic from inflicting damage on themselves. ”

Rowan, who was born in the Holy Sect Country, stepped forward and said. To put it bluntly, the Forbidden Demon Sacred Seal is a magic technique that increases magic resistance, and it can only reduce some damage for direct attacks such as large fireballs and small fireballs. However, for spells that can be resisted with the will - such as Transfiguration. Or teleport, it will work well. After all, teleportation magic can't directly teleport people with a sense of resistance.

"Can you untie it?"

Leah asked.

"It's very difficult, the holy seal on His Majesty's body is different from what I know, it seems that the Holy Sect has made a lot of improvements in divine arts in recent years. ”

Rowan shook his head.

"Then, according to the original plan, we will return from the secret passage with our father and mother, and leave the canyon by means of a carriage. When they got to the forest, it would be too late for Germain to find out that something was wrong. ”

Isabella said immediately.

The king and queen seem to have suffered a lot at the hands of Germain, and it is very difficult to act. However, Leah's group included Carl, the Battle Priest. Under the treatment of divine magic, the two soon regained their strength.

"Let me go on my own. It's not going to hold you back. ”

King Cliff said, motioning for everyone to take care of the weaker queen and not to worry too much about his physical condition.

Leah and the others followed the previous route back to the secret passage, and when they reached the path of the canyon. The alarm bells in the palace are loud!

"Someone must have found out that His Majesty and Queen are missing, we have to hurry!"

Leah reached out and helped the two into the car.

"Go !!"

Rowan sat at the front. Pull the reins firmly to drive the horse forward. The weapon's ability to drive horses is no worse than that of using weapons, which allows Lori and her group to move quickly in the vast night.

Wait until the sky is white. They had left the royal city far behind.

"Haha, it's this distance. Unless they grow wings, they won't have a chance to chase them. ”

Rowan said with a smile.

Inside the carriage, everyone showed a relieved expression. So far, the King's rescue plan has been a great success.

"Speaking of which, you saved my life, and I haven't even asked your name, warriors. ”

The king looked at the crowd and spoke.

"Leah Faren, Your Majesty. We've met before. ”

Little Lori was the first to speak.

"Ah, of course, I won't forget the daughter of Duke Brown, we did meet ......"

Boom - !!

Before the king could finish his words, there was a loud roar, and the carriage came to a sharp stop, and the people fell in the carport by inertia.

"What's going on......"

Leah stepped out, spotting a giant arrow stuck in the ground not far away that only bed crossbows could use, and she looked up with an incredulous expression, and was greeted by a desperate scene.

The Iron Wing Knights, the strongest force they had fought before, were now standing in line on the uphill not far away, blocking the way to the forest.

【Trap!】

In an instant, little Lori realized what was going on. It was a coincidence that the Iron Wing Knights had appeared, and they were waiting here purely to snipe this team.

"Rebecca, Carl, you're- !!"

Isabella was shocked and furious, and her first reaction was that her closest guard had sold her.

"No, Princess, it's not like that!"

"Princess Isabella, please trust us! we have absolutely no intention of betraying the princess!"

Rebecca and Carl scrambling to explain.

"Rest assured, princess, and Cliff, the siblings have betrayed no one. They only fled to the Iron Wing Fort under the scheme of His Majesty Germain, and told you about the secret passage, and they didn't even know that the secret passage was discovered by His Majesty a long time ago. ”

It was the Duke of Arman who relieved the siege of the siblings.

"Do you say—!??"

For a moment, Rebecca felt despair. Although she did not betray, she indirectly harmed the princess and Leah and her party.

"That's right, the reason why you were able to successfully escape from the palace is entirely because Your Majesty wants the princess to know about that secret passage, now you understand, from beginning to end, all of your every move is expected by Your Majesty!"

Duke Arman looked at the king and princess and said coldly.

This is the Grand Canyon, there is only one road to go in front and back, behind is the pursuers of the royal city, and in front is the entire Iron Wing Knights, no matter how you look at it, it is a dead end. (To be continued......)
