Sakel's words rang in his ears, echoing among the ruins, but like a bronze bell ringing in the tower, the sound lingered and echoed over and over again.

Sensory Magi.

The Knight of Punishment was so shocking that it took him a moment to recover from his shock and ponder the horror behind his words.

Sense organ.

This is, what liminal name?

In the silent dungeon, Tails thought to himself.

And, still, is she the first king of the stars, the queen of Eddy II?

What is her relationship with the Scarlet Year?

There was so much shock to Tails that night.

Tails didn't even have time to take into account the reactions of others, and could only sense everyone's emotions from the chaotic and rapid breathing around him:

Barney Jr. was in a trance, Belletti clenched his weapon, Tardine and Nakiqi's eyes widened, Brie's snort and Cannon's low whimper rang out, Semir's eyes were piercing, and the fast rope was clenching his left index finger in an effort to make himself inconspicuous.

"No, you mean, you mean ......"

From the dungeon came the trembling breath of Second Logistics Officer Sas Nye.

Everyone looked incredulously at Sakel, whose chests were heaving and his emotions were unstable.

"Impossible!"

"When she entered the palace, we all met Queen Fiosa and remembered what she was like. ”

The penistor Beretti's face was pale, as if he could not believe the remembered past:

"At that time, even when Prince Kessel spilled hot black tea at her at the wedding, she didn't ......"

The Knight of Punishment snorted.

"Really?"

"The question is, do you remember what she looked like, or what the Sensory Mage wanted you to see?"

Belletti's eyes glazed back.

I only heard Sacael ask him coldly:

"Ask yourself, are you seeing Queen Fiosa or Scourge Freiland?"

Fryland.

Silently reciting the name, Tails took a deep breath, confusion flashing in his eyes.

Freiland?

Suddenly, Tails' memory shook!

It was as if a bell was ringing from the distant past.

Tails' eyes froze.

Fryland

He'd heard the name.

Tails looked at the shocked crowd in confusion, desperately remembering.

He must have heard it somewhere, but at that time, yes, he must have been doing something that he couldn't distract, so he didn't care.

Where the hell is it?

"Your Majesty's Queen, she's a, she's a ......" Little Barney muttered to himself with blank eyes, as if he was still digesting the fact.

Tardin's laughter could barely be heard.

"No, she never made any abnormal ...... during her reign She hasn't even killed a chicken!"

Tardin looked at Sakel expectantly:

"Maybe you misunderstood, or you mistook ......"

But the Knight of Punishment was apparently unmoved.

"That's what I thought at first, and I hope I was wrong. ”

Sakel said slowly, a haze flashing in his eyes.

"More than anyone else. ”

His dark face, with despair and madness, made everyone's hearts sink.

Right now.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ......"

Everyone turned their heads, and saw Semir covering the imprint on his face, his eyes closed, his shoulders shaking, and he laughed without hesitation:

"That's why you betrayed?"

"The reason why you have left us with so much guilt and stigma, torture and pain......"

There was sadness in Samir's laughter:

"In the end, it's because the king married a woman of unknown origin?"

He smiled and shook his head, but there was no smile in his cold eyes.

Hearing this, Sakel's face turned even darker.

"You don't understand. The knight shook his head with difficulty.

Clang!

There was a sharp sound, but it was Barney Jr. who slammed his sword into the ground.

"I really don't understand. ”

Barney Jr. seemed to have been hit hard, and it took all his strength to squeeze out the staccato sentence:

"Whoever His Majesty wants to marry, whether it be a calamity, a dragon, or even an elf or even an orc, no matter how ridiculous, how weird, how unreasonable, how unbearable it is for you......"

Barney Jr. paused, twitched his cheeks, and then spoke resolutely:

"But that's your Majesty's decision!"

"If you are dissatisfied, if you question, then protest and admonish him with dignity. ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became:

"That shouldn't be an excuse for you to participate in the rebellion and collaborate with the enemy to kill the king!"

I don't know which word stimulated Saker's already sensitive and unstable nerves, and the latter snorted in pain and slammed the fighting axe in his hand on the ground as well!

Boom!

"I did!"

Sakel was like an angry beast, with bruised veins around his neck, his beard swelling, and his fierce eyes swept around him like a blade.

Everyone was shocked by him.

"I tried to speak directly to His Majesty to warn him of the threat from his pillow, but he always laughed it off and didn't realize it. ”

"I tried to reach out to the nobles who were still loyal to the royal family and who were trusted by the king, hoping that they would exert influence on His Majesty. ”

The knight of punishment was stunned and angry.

"I tried to turn to the crown prince, Lord Hansen of the secret department, but it didn't work......"

Speaking of this, Sakel showed a sad look and shook his head tremblingly:

"It's too late. ”

The crowd looked at each other, and among them, Barney Jr. and Semir had the most cold eyes.

The Knight of Punishment lowered his head, his tense shoulders and tone softened, revealing helplessness and despair:

"I don't know when I started ......"

"Your Majesty seems to have changed into a different person, he who was once gentle and tolerant has become tough and stubborn, and he ...... to say everything."

His confused eyes slowly converged, as if he wanted to find recognition from the gaze of the person in front of him:

"You know, you've seen ......"

"His imperial meetings with his ministers became shorter and shorter, and his summons of personal advisors became more frequent......"

"He began to alienate his courtiers, ignoring advice, even his blood-related family: taking back the crown prince's office, rebuking the second prince of the army, and belittleing his own duke brothers......"

Tails, who was distracted, frowned.

The knight's accusations and bitter words continued:

"His relationship with the big vassals is getting worse and worse, and he even scolded the Duke of the North in public, and issued an order to reprimand the disgruntled Duke of Blade......"

"He issued royal decrees with great force, and convened councils of high nobles—severely punishing loyal nobles, dissenting courtiers, believing in demagoguery traitors, and inciting the state ......"

The words hissed, and the sentences were painful.

"He ordered the increase of taxes, the expansion of the army, the borrowing of debts, the liquidation of officials, and every order challenged the patience of every subject in the kingdom, whether loyal to him or dissatisfied with his ......"

Listening to Sakel's words, many of the former royal guards had melancholy and ethereal in their eyes.

"Until the people in the country are not able to make a living, the masses are surging, the vassals are centrifuged, and rebellions are everywhere. ”

Saying this, Sakel twitched his shoulders and, like a child full of fear, spoke in a trembling voice:

"Then I knew that our beloved Eddie, the former King of Rule, was no longer our Majesty. ”

The expressions of the surrounding listeners were mixed, whether angry or sad, hesitant or sad, but they were all silent, as if the latter's words poked at their weakness.

No longer our Majesty.

Tails listened to this sentence in a trance, but developed a wonderful feeling.

Their original Eddie's Majesty......

How?

Or rather, what should it be?

Sakel's voice grew deeper and deeper:

"He has been bewitched, held hostage, manipulated by the most evil being in the world. ”

His voice was low, and his eyes were dark.

It was as if the frail traveler who had trekked hard in the desert had drunk his last drop of water and finally collapsed before the mirage of disillusionment.

In the silence of the crowd gasping and alternately, Naki lowered the torch, and Sakel's body cast a long shadow against the wall.

"Confused, bewildered, bewildered?"

It was a long time before little Barney could hold back a sentence in his dry throat:

"How do you know?"

"With a few words dug up from the yellowed pile of old papers, you convicted the queen of guilt, and cut off the death sentence for the first king?"

Sakel came back to his senses and chuckled.

"How do you know?"

"That night. ”

His gaze wandered, as if he had been reminded of a memory.

"That terrible rainy night. ”

The Knight of Punishment forced this sentence out in a breathy voice, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Rainy night?

"Your Majesty, in the name of meditation, has dispersed all the attendants, minions, and guards, including the old captain and Big Barney, who hold the Supreme Shield and the Judgment Lance. ”

And he was alone with his new queen to that incredible invitation. ”

The hearts of the royal guards tightened.

"What invitation?" Naki couldn't help but speak.

Sakel's expression darkened.

It's like being lost in the past, unable to get out of the shadow of the past.

"That night, I clutched the Supreme Sword tightly, and with the help of its power, I followed them to the sacred Hall of Stars, hiding in the shadows behind the pillars of the hall, and I didn't dare to let out a ......."

The Knight of Punishment's pupils slowly constricted:

"Finally, I met them. ”

The dungeon was quiet, except for the glow of the fire, which reflected the dilapidated walls of the old magic tower, like the dead silence of a coffin in the ground.

Little Barney still stiffened, Semir pursed his lips, and the others looked at each other in confusion.

Tails held his breath.

"They?" Naki unconsciously snapped with a hint of trill.

Sakel didn't look at him, just nodded.

"The storm that night was so big that even the watchtower could overturn ......"

In the dimly lit dungeon, Sacael quietly reveals a terrifying past:

"On the balcony of the hall where lightning and thunder are shining, and the wind and rain are blowing, two mysterious guests appear one after another without warning. ”

Mysterious guests.

Appeared without warning.

It's ...... Eighteen years ago, Yongxing City.

No.

Tails only felt his heart start beating faster.

Sakel's broken words were mixed with his uncontrollable breathing, sinking and rising:

"They are like the gods who came to earth in legends, and they are like demons awakened in the abyss of extreme evil. ”

Jinni.

Demon.

"Who are they?" said Tails stiffly.

Sakel bowed his head abruptly and glanced coldly at Tails.

Let the latter's heartbeat skip a beat.

After a few seconds, a dry voice rustled from the Torture Knight's almost blood-stained lips:

"That man, he appeared from the rain, his posture was elegant, his demeanor was calm, but his body was dry as before, neat as new, and he looked at the Fuxing Palace arrogantly, as if he was looking at the dead chess pieces that would be eaten sooner or later in the chess game. ”

Tails subconsciously tensed his body.

In the dungeon, the knight's former colleagues stared at him intently.

"And the woman ......"

Sakel shook his head, and there was a fear and jealousy in his eyes that only glimpsed when he was out of order:

"When the rain and wind hit her, it was a sight you will never forget: it was like a storm that instantly plunged into her active skin, absorbed and left behind. ”

Everyone slowed their breathing, as if they were afraid to wake up the sleeping beast.

They either respectfully or disdainfully called the queen by her real name: Fleilan. ”

Saker shuddered inexplicably:

In the same way, our queen calls them by their names as if they were reunited. ”

"Those two equally taboo names. ”

Tails closed his eyes tightly.

Barney Jr. interrupted the knight's narration with a wheezing voice:

"Watchman, you are saying, no, you are accusing Your Majesty......"

But Sakel's voice rose abruptly and loudly:

"I saw it with my own eyes on that rainy night!"

Barney Jr. was provoked by him.

Sakel's face was illuminated by the firelight, but the imprint on his forehead was hidden in the dark, revealing a face that was as resolute and indifferent as ever.

"That night, with His Majesty Eddy as a witness, and the stars as a bet. ”

The Knight of Punishment's voice seemed to be infused with some kind of power, and the words sent everyone's veins throbbing.

"Your Majesty. ”

"Sensory magician. ”

"The scourge of gas. ”

"The scourge of blood. ”

The fire was faint, Sakael no longer paid attention to the expressions of others, and coldly bitten the words:

"The Supreme King of the Stars: An Unprecedented Covenant with the Three Calamities......"

"This is the conclusion. ”

At that moment, Tails suddenly opened his eyes!

He remembered.

Fryland.

The name, he'd heard.

Just six years ago, in the shield area that was about to turn into powder, when he was holding the trembling girl and gritting his teeth between the two terrifying beings.

[Have you forgotten the original purpose of our cooperation, Giza? 】

At that time, the Qi Demon Master, who had an elegant posture and a cold look in his eyes, said.

[The cooperation of the three of us, whether it is my plan, or Freilan's persistence, or your persistence, is it not for the magicians to ...... one day]

[Can you break free from that shackle?]

Tails was drenched in a cold sweat and short of breath.

But others no longer had time to care about his gaffe.

"You don't understand what taboo our Majesty has broken. ”

In the dungeon, Sakel raised his head and said in a cold voice in front of the increasingly nervous crowd:

"He seeks to reach a power that no mortal should covet, hoping to rule over the kingdom of which we are proud, over the kingdom we have built on the ruins of the War of the End. ”

The Punishment Knight's complex gaze swept over each listener, and finally stopped on Tails' face:

"In the course of his speech, His Majesty even referred to them, the three monsters as his—"

"Three Plagues Alliance. ”

Don't be in a hurry, and let me concentrate on grinding this paragraph.
