Chapter 55: The King's Heart

Ashley Hill tried to make himself look calmer, but the loss between his brows was hard to hide...... What made Allen feel strangest was that there seemed to be some hints of blame and resentment in his tone.

Since Ashley Hill had tried to resurrect Intiana, it meant that he really wanted to see her, but somehow, Alan could feel the resistance in his heart...... This complex and contradictory emotion, although difficult to explain in words, is all keenly captured by Allen.

"You and Intiana...... What kind of relationship is it?" Alan couldn't help but ask, "Comrade-in-arms, Junchen, friend, or ......?"

"Huh...... I didn't expect that although you are an outsider, you have not known this king for a long time, and you can see so many things that others have never seen before......" Ashley Hill looked at Alan in surprise, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a smile, "This is not the first time you have surprised this king...... So, as a reward, I'll show you......"

With that, Ashley Hill suddenly drew his saber and drew a circle on the ground as he chanted a spell, circling Alan.

A faint mist gradually rose in the circle, obscuring Allen's vision. Then, as Ashley Hill's incantation was chanted, Eren felt that his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, the picture he saw had completely changed.

The sky was overcast, and heavy rain was pouring down.

In a dense wood, several people were exhausted and hiding under the trees to avoid the rain. One of them sat on the ground, with his back to the trunk of a tree, while the others surrounded him, holding up an enchantment to protect him from the rain.

As if to save magic, everyone else was drenched in the rain. There were also a few people who stood guard from a distance.

Alan immediately recognized the young face and signature red eyes as Ashley Hill......

It's just that unlike his usual radiant appearance, he looks very weak now.

"Back to Your Majesty, the situation of the pursuing troops has been clarified, it is the coalition army of the five southeastern countries, and there are about ...... 8,000 people!" a figure fell to the ground using a starlight flicker.

Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across everyone's faces...... The group of them is no more than a handful of them......

"Ho, 8,000 people......" A young woman next to her chuckled, shook her head, and said, "It seems that they really tried their best to drive you to a dead end......"

This girl has waist-length black hair, and although her appearance is not stunning, her eyes are clear and bright, and she is resolute and gentle, and she will feel warm just by looking at it.

"Intiana......" Ashley Hill called softly.

The girl walked slowly to him.

"I'm wrong about you...... Sure enough, you're right......" Ashley Hill looked up at her, her eyes glazed over, "They didn't really surrender from the beginning......"

"When the wolf gets together with the wolf, they will only discuss how to defeat the bear, not what gift to give to Xiongjin. Intiana shook off the droplets of water and said, "Don't take it to heart, I'm not mad at you...... It's just that you've been a little too eager lately, and you've been too gullible about Lindels. I had long been aware of his collusion with the enemy, but there was no evidence...... This so-called 'feast' is nothing more than a trap they have set up to take your life. ”

"That traitor! I'm going to let him die a bad death!" Ashley Hill was emotional, but his tone was full of frustration, for he was well aware of his current situation, and realized that he might be here for the end.

"The human heart is like this, it is too difficult to distinguish between sincerity and falsehood. "You are still too young to be king...... Giving away all your trust will not only put yourself in a dangerous position, but also put the whole country in crisis. ”

Ashley Hill lowered his head and remained silent.

"In order to keep His Majesty from suspicion, they did not dare to use a highly toxic medicine with a strong smell, but this colorless and odorless medicine that only paralyzes the body, which is really difficult to detect. At this time, a person who looked like a retinue beside him checked his body and said: "Although there is no worry about his life, His Majesty is not able to mobilize his magic power for the time being, and if he wants to recover completely, he may have to recuperate for a long time......"

"Don't worry about me, this king still has the strength...... Ashley Hill supported his body with his hands, and barely stood up from the ground, "Let Intiana take you first, this king only needs to rest for a while, and he can break these insidious and cunning villains into pieces!"

Ashley Hill's eyes burned with anger: "If you don't avenge Sasur, who desperately saved me, the hatred in the heart of this king will not be calmed!"

"Sober up...... This is not the time for you to be reckless. Intiana's face was expressionless, and she stretched out her hand to stop him, "At that time, the situation was urgent, and it was a blessing that Sasur was able to escape by sacrificing only one person...... Everyone knew that your wand had landed in the banquet hall, or they wouldn't have dared to chase it so recklessly. ”

Before Intiana could finish speaking, a faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard through the rain.

"Your Majesty, please move quickly! The pursuers are less than two kilometers away from here!" the man who had just come to report the enemy situation appeared beside them again.

"You take Your Majesty first...... How far can you run. Intiana looked in the direction from which the sound of the horses' hooves came, and after a moment of silence, she said.

"What are you going to do......" Ashley Hill's eyes widened as he understood what she meant, "you...... Are you looking for death?!"

Intiana didn't speak.

"The Gate of the Dead was only used a while ago, and it is impossible to defeat so many people!" Ashley Hill was anxious and shouted at her.

"But there's no other way...... Intiana smiled bitterly, "there's no other way to keep you alive......"

"I can't leave you alone! Absolutely not!" Ashley Hill was so emotional that he grabbed Intiana's wrist and tried to take her with him, but he was too weak to do so.

"Don't you believe me like that, I'm not just a magic ......" Intiana smiled at him and gently took his hand away, "Let's go, I'll join you as soon as possible." ”

But Ashley Hill still wouldn't move.

Seeing this, Intiana sighed and shook her head with a smile: "It's really stubborn...... It's time like this, so I have to waste my magic on you......"

The eyes are facing each other.

"You are the king, the hope of all...... You have to live. Intiana put away her smile and said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ashley Hill suddenly fainted and fell to the ground......

Intiana stared at the sleeping Ashley Hill for a long time, and then looked around at the people around her: "His safety, please leave it to you." ”

With that, she disappeared into the depths of the forest.
