No one knew that it was she who deliberately guided the topic and attracted her mother's attention.

But when the little black-haired girl and the imperial princess Sophia appeared in front of her, she was both a little dissatisfied with the occupancy of the dove's nest by the birds, and a little ashamed of herself.

It's just that if she had awakened at that time, maybe in that court trial where the entire imperial capital was watching, she was the one who stood up at a critical moment.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world, so I secretly laughed at myself, and redevoted myself to learning to forget to sleep and eat, arming myself with knowledge, and paralyzing myself.

Her awakening talent is very rare and excellent, otherwise even if she awakens at the age of 16, she would not be so valued by Her Excellency Archbishop Melissa.

Everyone knows that these carefully selected first batch of female students are destined to have an unlimited future as long as they do not die.

Anna's abilities are not an enhancement of a certain ability, and what she specializes in is not the medicine that saints or female priests usually choose, but judgment.

As long as she turns on her awakening, she can know if everyone within a radius of ten meters around her is lying.

Of course, there is no one in this world who does not lie at all, and the scale of it still needs to be grasped by herself to distinguish whether it is a white lie or a malicious deception.

This is similar to Catherine's enhanced perception, but more direct and overbearing.

Because she can see at a glance whether the other party is insincere or not through the feedback of the spiritual power fluctuations she releases, and she can even be accurate to every word and every action, and feel the psychological changes hidden under the surface of the other party.

It was an induction that could not be described in words, like the sound waves of a bat probe, and in her eyes, the world was completely different.

Of course, it is still only a first-level awakening, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the sensitivity and range of abilities, and even the accuracy.

Moreover, after a secret test, the fluctuation of this spiritual power is very hidden, and even the most sensitive awakened person cannot detect it, so naturally there is no way to guard against it.

This is simply the best candidate for the Inquisitor, as long as she can study and accumulate the vast and boring legal code, there will definitely be a place for her in the future temple law scholars.

Even Melissa, who had been promoted to archbishop, was a little selfish and wanted to keep the girl by her side and become her assistant.

Before that, it is necessary to give the girl a good enough academic degree and accumulate enough contacts through several years of school life.

Because of this, even without using the ability to awaken, Anna immediately felt the sincerity of this dear friend from Philip's words and deeds.

Of course, under the persuasion of Archbishop Melissa, her natural ability is still a secret, after all, this ability can cause immense pressure on those around her, even as a friend.

So externally, she claimed that she was just an ordinary divine power control skill awakening, and even Philip didn't know the truth.

Reluctantly, Anna closed the box of the necklace and placed it in a drawer, looking at the wall next door, and gently stroking the doll with her fingers, which had faded a lot, and was stacked together by countless strips of paper.

Before returning to Gaokan City, she naturally knew about Yun'er's departure and Sophia's existence, and also knew that Philip had successfully awakened to the second level and achieved brilliant achievements in the past war.

The girl's heart is always a little inexplicably entangled, both happy for Philip and a little unwilling.

There are still long days ahead, and Anna swears that she will always find an opportunity to surpass each other, stand in front of each other and prove herself, she is still the Anna of the past, the Anna who is as good and confident as him.

The girl he once swore to protect was by no means a weak person who would only be protected by his side, but a truly proud princess.

At the end of February 1007, Philip, who had already passed his 18th birthday, officially set off for the city of Carroste, where he picked up his girlfriend, Princess Sophia, and traveled with her to the city of Florgun to start his new studies.

Anna had already set off two weeks early, visiting her uncle Hank and brother Ladd in the town of Fall, and then going straight to Southern Seminary with her mother Demi.

This also made Philip quietly breathe a sigh of relief, although Sophia didn't say anything about this explanation of 'sister', but judging from the enthusiasm that was going to melt him that night, no matter how generous a woman is, she is also a woman, not to mention that there is a spy Afu who is constantly providing information on the side.

Hugging his grandparents, Catherine, and two little sisters, Philip and his friends set out on a journey.

Father Matthew is not in Gokan City, in fact, Catherine and her twin sister's days in Gokan City have also begun to enter the countdown, but the time is not so fast.

A lot of big things have happened in the last two months, especially for the Southeast, for Gokan City.

There are many things inside, some of which Philip knows, and some of which are hidden beneath the calm waters and become eternal secrets.

Gulliver, the new emperor of the imperial capital, sent two envoys to the southeast, and finally gathered in the southeastern capital of Galoster, but no one could take away the glory of the imperial princess Sophia.

After all, the military disaster in December last year left a deep impression on the city, reminding them of a turbulent era that had long been intoxicated by the illusion of peace.

Only under the protection of the Red Rose do people here believe that their lives and property can be protected.

Moreover, the small and medium-sized nobles who were forced to be kidnapped by the open and secret struggle between the powerful groups headed by the two great families in the past are desperate to carve up those vacant positions, and at the same time they are tired of endless political games, and they all desperately need a real strong man as a guarantee of their interests, a leader worthy of the name.

During this time, Sophia was busy and happy, and she truly experienced the joy of power.

Openly and secretly obtained the allegiance of a large number of southeastern nobles, except for the first few iconic figures that Sophia had arranged or won over in advance, the rest of the group of leaderless people naturally gathered over.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is unreliable at the critical moment of life and death, and the new emperor's attention will never be cast on this slightly barren and remote land.

Even as one of the four great provinces of the empire, it will always be the least populated, the most barren land, and the most economically backward place.

The Imperial Princess, on the other hand, is known to have spent three years studying with her lover in Flogon, which is also theoretically located in the southeastern provinces, on the border between the southeast and the southwest.

Therefore, for at least three years, the Red Rose is bound to remain on this land, and it is even likely that its main force will remain in the capital city of Carroester, becoming the city's protective force.

So after snagging more than a dozen small and medium-sized nobles to take refuge, the two groups of envoys suddenly found themselves struggling in the city.

As the people around the new emperor, they will naturally not be left out or rushed, but the same thing at the reception is all nonsense without nutrition, and these rich landowners in the southeast are full of flattery, but there is no true chapter, and they pretend not to understand their gestures openly and secretly.

But when they see Sophia, the princess of the empire, surrounded by a surging crowd, appear, everything makes sense.

Only then did they discover that the dozen or so small and medium-sized nobles who had taken refuge were all vassals under the two great families in the past, and they were all badly behaved, and they were excluded by the entire aristocratic group of Carlotte.

These people can become envoys, so they are naturally loyal to the new emperor, so they are also familiar with Princess Sophia, the pearl of the new emperor.

Some people have grown up watching this smart and lovely little princess, and they are loyal to the royal family itself, so naturally there is nothing unusual.

However, some people felt that something was wrong, or they themselves had different positions, and they wanted to report the real situation here to the imperial capital, and they did not hesitate to be alarmist to rule out some hidden dangers in the future.

But before they could make any moves, they found that all the intercoms were out of order, and their quarters were 'protected' by the heavily armed Red Roses.

Ironically, the men they sent out were missing, and the only people they could ask for help happened to be the female knights who were temporarily in charge of security in the city.

Just when they were helpless, they found that accompanied by the bishop of the temple, the imperial princess Sophia had come to visit them and tenderly cared for their food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

What made them even more terrifying was that among the people who accompanied them, they found several second- and third-generation representatives of special families.

These families may not be famous on the surface, but only those who are truly familiar with the inside of the aristocratic power will know how important the meaning behind these families is.

Each of them is inextricably linked to the upper echelons of power in the Empire, and their white gloves can be found in every aspect and at all levels throughout the Empire.

What does the appearance of these people in this city at this time represent, it is extremely scary, could it be that the empire, which has just been stable for decades, is about to usher in another round of internal bloodshed?

What kind of capital does an imperial princess who has not yet reached adulthood have to make these families take the initiative to surface.

But soon one of them figured it all out, because these families all had a very obvious but forgotten symbol: the recently deceased emperor Charles Ben Sman.

It could not be more obvious that the old emperor had left all his political power to the young princess after his death, and not to his son and two incompatible grandsons.

originally thought that what was waiting for them would be water and fire, and the sword and axe were coming, and some of the timid ones had even curled up in the hotel shivering, and began to cry and write suicide notes.

But the princess's uncle, the officer of the guard, remained, along with two large chests of treasure in everyone's room.
