Chapter 14: Heart of the Ocean

When the masked men walked up to Princess Rose, Bruce stepped forward and stood in front of Princess Rose, "I will never allow you to hurt Princess Rose. As he spoke, he drew his sword.

"Master Bruce Rand, please don't overdo it. The masked man who took the lead swung his sword at Brus.

Bruce swung his sword and fended off. I felt a strong force, and my sword flew out of my hand. Bruce's face turned pale, and with a sword, a sword, the man struck his weapon flying.

The tip of the man's sword pressed against Bruth's throat as Bruth's sword flew. Bruce couldn't even resist this man, let alone his henchmen. The others stopped talking and stepped away from Bruce's side. Bruce stepped back with a look of shame. When life is threatened, it is natural to let go of other things first

When the masked men walked up to the girls where Princess Rose was, the girls all retreated like a tide, as if there was something terrible beside the princess, leaving Princess Rose alone. Although Princess Rose was very nervous, she controlled her emotions, "Who are you, you should know that I am a princess, don't you know what the crime of hurting and kidnapping the princess is?"

As soon as the masked man in the lead waved his hand, two people came out and walked towards Princess Rose, one of them on one side, holding Princess Rose hostage.

"Don't try to resist uselessly, if you still want to live well. The masked man who took the lead snapped to the crowd around him. Then he turned back to Princess Rose and said, "Please princess don't resist needlessly, lest you hurt yourself." As long as we get what we want, we will naturally let the princess go. ”

Princess Rose looked at the crowd around her and her classmates, feeling a sense of despair.

It was at this time that Light Snow ran up, because she was too young to be watched by the masked man, and no one stopped her from running towards Princess Rose. She grabbed the edge of Princess Rose's robe, stood in front of her, and said to the masked men, "I will not allow you to hurt this sister, and you will not take her. ”

Ben was shocked, and Youming was quietly held in his hand.

"Look, there's a brave little girl who wants to stop us from taking the princess. It's amazing. One of the masked men said in a mocking tone.

"It seems that she has more courage than the princess's knight. Another masked man said.

Hearing them say this, all the masked men burst out laughing.

"Little sister, leave quickly, don't stand in front of your sister, you can't stop them. Princess Rose said to Light Snow, then looked up to the leader of the masked men and said, "Don't hurt this child, I'll go with you." ”

The masked man in the lead frowned, looked at Xiao Qingxue, and said, "Take her with you and take her hostage together." Although he didn't think it was like looking at the clothes on Qingxue's body, he still felt that Qingxue was a child of some important family, and he wanted to bring Qingxue to make the princess submit and benefit their plan.

One of the masked men stepped forward and picked up Light Snow with one arm. Light snow struggled in his arms.

Ben stood up, he walked up to the masked men, and said, "She's my sister, not an important person, please don't take her, please let her go." We just came here to buy sweets. ”

As soon as Ben stood up, a masked man pressed the tip of his sword against his chest, "Boy, don't move, or my sword won't have eyes." ”

At this moment, the door of the candy store was slammed open, and another masked man entered, "We have to go, there is a group of gendarmes coming this way." ”

As soon as the masked man in the lead waved his hand, a masked man put his sword against the neck of the princess and light snow, "Don't do stupid things. To achieve our goal, we will naturally release the hostages, and if anyone tries to resist, we will kill the princess and the child now. ”

Ben saw the sword against Qingxue's neck, and lowered the hand holding Youming. He looked angrily at the masked men and watched them take the princess and light snow.

As soon as they went out, there was a carriage that had been prepared, and the men jumped into the carriage and roared away.

Ben followed the masked man out of the candy store, standing in the bitter cold wind, looking at the whistling carriage, his heart full of anxiety.

At this time, the other female students of the academy and Bruce, Fitt and others also came out. They looked at the carriage in the distance, and instead of the silence they had just had, they chirped.

"Princess Rose has been kidnapped, what should I do?

"Inform Your Majesty the King first. Let him find a way to rescue the princess. ”

"I don't know who they are, how come they all have at least the strength of sea knights and warriors. I'm afraid it would be of little use to inform His Majesty the King. ”

"I don't know what their purpose is, maybe if they meet their demand, they will let Princess Rose go. ”

The men talked, not mentioning Kazuki who was also caught trying to stop the masked man from taking Princess Rose.

Stupid is at a loss, what should I do? My sister has been taken away, and she doesn't know what the masked man wants. Before they achieved their goal, the princess was naturally safe, but what about light snow?

Thinking of this, he clenched the Youming in his hand.

Also silent was Bruce. He had always been known as the genius of Orpheus Academy, but he didn't expect to be knocked out of the sword as soon as he came out. He felt very humiliated, and cursed these masked bandits hundreds of times in his heart.

"We must mobilize the power of the family to kill these masked people. He thought to himself.

Just as Dumb was struggling with what to do, he felt something tug at his trouser legs, and he lowered his head to see the gray mouse.

Ash squeaked at the clumsy as it pointed in the direction the masked man had left, and then to his own head.

"You said you could know where Light Snow was to?" asked Ash as he squatted down.

Ash nodded, then squeaked. Stupid's eyes suddenly brightened. As long as they know where they are taking their sister, they can save her.

"Lead the way, take me to find light snow. Stupid said to Ash.

Ash quickly ran in the direction where the carriage had disappeared. Ben followed it closely.

When Princess Rose and Kazuki were taken away by the masked man, a stone wrapped in a note was still inside the walls of the palace. The palace guards read the contents of the note, did not dare to delay, and presented it to the king.

The king looked at the contents of the note, his brow furrowed.

At this time, Paon, who had received news from his students, also came to meet the king.

"Your Majesty, do you know that Princess Rose has been kidnapped?" asked Paon, saluting the King.

"I already know, you see, they also sent a note. With that, the king handed the note to Abbot Paon.

"Princess Rose is in our hands, and we want her to return safely, in exchange for the Heart of the Ocean. Three days later, the exchange was made on a low hill outside the city. If you bring a large number of people with you, you will only see the princess's corpse. "That's what the note says.

Seeing the contents of the note, Dean Paan's brow furrowed.

The Heart of the Ocean is a water-based hedron the size of half an adult's fist, which can be embedded in a mage's staff to increase the mage's strength. The Heart of the Sea was discovered in a ruin by Abbot Paan a few years ago. After receiving it, it was presented to the king of the Xiongshi Empire. It has always been sealed in the treasury as a rare treasure.

It is known that the Heart of the Sea is owned by the Xiongshi Empire, and there are very few people in the Empire's treasury. I don't know where these masked men came from or how they knew the news.

"I suspect that these masked men are from other empires. In the Lion Empire, it is difficult to gather such power without being discovered. Dean Paan said.

"You and I are presumed to be the same. Presumably someone from the Holy Alliance Empire. Their Imperial Water Mage, Walter, once wrote two years ago that he wanted to exchange some other precious things for the Heart of the Ocean, but I refused. Although such a large water system spar is precious, it cannot drive so many masters to snatch it. Only for the water mage, it is the most precious and irreplaceable. The king said.

"That's right. Your Majesty, what should we do? The Heart of the Sea, though precious, is not as important as Princess Rose's life. It seems that we have only exchanged. Dean Paan said.
