621 Remnant of Magic
It is difficult to understand a person like Archduke Ian with such ambition as King Nacini.
Why do you want to do something like a fly and a dog when you are in a high position? Why do you want to be like a gopher bed bug in the mud when you are obviously an eagle falcon soaring in the sky?
So he glanced at Grand Duke Ian with some disgust, and walked straight around the Ao Neng puppet and walked towards the trembling girl. Emily hesitated for a moment, but let him approach without giving any orders.
Allegri leaned against the hidden door of the temple, observing the movement outside through the cracks. Jubiano, on the other hand, hurriedly took a few steps forward, picked up the paralyzed Grand Duke, and quickly explained something in his ear.
"Don't worry, it's okay. King Nacini leaned over, patted Amely on the shoulder, and soothed softly. The strong confidence in his tone infected the frightened girl. The originally tense body began to tremble slightly, and the uncontrollable tears moistened the eyes that had been smiling.
"Don't cry, don't cry. King Nacini reached out and pulled Amely up from the carpet. The girl who had experienced such a change, her love fluctuated violently, and after she suddenly relaxed, she was weak for no reason, she subconsciously leaned on King Nacini's side, wanting to wipe away the tears on her face, but she didn't expect the tears to flow more.
"Let's put away the Ao Neng puppet first," seeing that the guards outside the palace did not move, Allegri also walked over and said, "lest they make drastic moves." ”
Seeing King Nacini nod his head in the same way, Amery took a deep breath and recited the incantation softly. On the three-meter-tall arcane golem, surging streams of magic power intertwined into a net. Wrap the entire body in it. In an instant, the puppet body shrank rapidly, leaving only silver-white magic lines. Sketch the tall image of the puppet. When the metal shell completed the half-dimensionalization, the silver-white veins slowly retracted inward, reattaching to the shell of the miniature statue, firmly binding the unstable energy core.
Allegri stooped down to pick up the statue and handed it back to Amely. Without the oppressive Ao Neng puppet, Grand Duke Ian gradually calmed down, and he sat on the soft couch on one side. Panting heavily, this kind of experience of escaping death is really not beautiful.
"How could this happen?" said King Nacini, frowning. Turning around, he asked. Even though he was wearing a servant costume, the Lion King of the Northland was still not angry and arrogant, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.
"Your Majesty...... His Majesty ......" Grand Duke Ian was stunned for a moment, but he swallowed back the sentence "Majesty". Let's be honest. Our Grand Duke. is also full of grievances. In the past, he was fortunate to be a civilian woman, where would it cause such a big storm. Even Archbishop Innedir of the Holy See will turn a blind eye, this is his right to enjoy as a marionette, and no one dares to say a word of nonsense.
But now, I thought I was a weak lamb. Suddenly bared his sharp teeth, almost biting his neck off. And another superior who he does not want to offend. For the sake of an inconsequential chick, he questioned such a valuable ally.
Is...... What a shame!
It seems that this Nacini is no different from Inedil. Grand Duke Ian thought so and protested with silence. Don't forget, this is the Grand Duke's Palace, in the city of Severa, if you annoy him...... Hmph, the Holy See of Light should be happy to capture King Nacini as a prisoner.
"Uncle Cousin," said King Nacini, who also realized that his tone was too strong, remedied, "this Miss Emmely, a friend of my little nephew, please forgive her this time for my sake." ”
"Oh?" was called "Cousin" and "Uncle" by the King of Snowton, and Grand Duke Ian blinked, and finally felt a little better. He thought for a moment and asked pretendingly, "Yours...... Friends?"
"Yes, friend, we have known each other for a few days," explained King Nacini, giving him a step down, "I think she has offended you by misunderstanding her uncle...... Luckily, we haven't made a big mistake yet, so you should be able to open the net, uncle, right?"
"No, ......no, no," Grand Duke Ian glanced around, collapsing half of the side hall, and pretending to be embarrassed, "But so many people have seen her cast magic, and if she is not punished, it is impossible to say anything." ”
"They are all subordinates, and as long as the uncle says a word, they will not dare to go out and talk nonsense," said King Nacini, bowing slightly, "If you do not pursue this matter, the little nephew will make up for it in the future." ”
This bargaining is both in the light and in the dark. On the surface, King Nacini is interceding for Amely, but secretly, it is Grand Duke Ian who is asking for more money. After receiving his promise, Grand Duke Ian nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "You and I are a family after all, and these are easy to say." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness. Seeing that Amely was still standing in a daze, Eubiano, who was next to him, urged softly.
"Thank you...... Your Highness. The girl reluctantly bowed, but deep down, a seed of hatred was planted. In just one night, Amelie fully saw the dark side of the human heart. If it weren't for that arcane puppet, she would have fallen into the clutches of Grand Duke Ian, and her pure and immaculate body would have been occupied by this disgusting old man.
This is the real world, power always overrides goodness, and if you don't even have the power to resist, you can only pray that you are useless, so as not to become the plaything of the powerful.
"Go and call in the stewardship and the commander of the army. "Grand Duke Ian instructed Jubiano to prepare for the aftermath of tonight's events.
Yubiano answered, and just pushed open the door of the temple, and immediately moved out of the way in surprise. Bishop Nohans, who had a bad face, strode in.
The palace was dim, he frowned dissatisfiedly, and said loudly, and a holy light lit up, shining in the center of the side hall.
Allegri and King Nacini glanced at each other and quietly took two steps back. Amely hid behind them, not daring to say a word.
"Lord Bishop, why are you here?" Grand Duke Ian trembled in his heart and hurriedly got up to meet him.
"Shall I ask you this?" Nornes said coldly, "Is it because there is not enough panic in the city when there is such a big movement?"
"It's just some family matters, so you don't need the Bishop to ask about it, right?" His attitude was worse than that of King Nacchini, and Archduke Ian, who had been a little shaken, once again firmly fell to Snowdon's side, and even his tone became a little stiffer.
"How did this palace collapse?" Noons asked, pointing to the crumbling ruins, "I heard, the remnants of magic?"
