Now that the entire royal capital is Charlotte's enemy, the usual passages are no longer usable, and the only thing that can keep Charlotte and Lisa safe from the royal capital is the intricate hidden passages in the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Reconstruction, repair, and reinforcement were inevitable as the palace was passed down from generation to generation, so in the process of adjustment again and again, the structure of the palace became far more complex than it seemed, and there were many secret passages that led directly to the outside of the city.

After unlocking the mechanism as a cover-up, a series of certifications are required, so it can be said that it is quite troublesome to use.

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few people who know about the existence of secret passages in the palace, but most of them only know a small part of them. ”

It's a lot, this is based on the nature of the secret passage that needs to be kept secret, in fact, as long as the status is high enough, there will be a certain understanding of these things, and there are people who need to use the secret passage, such as guards, or court magicians. But I just know that if I want to use it, I still need a series of procedures and the approval of the Wang family.

Moreover, from the perspective of specialization alone, the suspicion of court magicians will undoubtedly be a little greater.

From this point of inference, you can find the person who discovered the old king of Heberis, and even if the other party is prepared, at least some clues can be obtained. But these have nothing to do with Charlotte, she has no interest in that person, and the reason why she said this is just because of the situation in front of her.

Secret passages are not complicated, and with magic items as the key to pass, there is no need for ineffective means such as forks and traps.

There are no lights in the tunnel, so Lisa has to temporarily remove a menorah from the wall before entering the tunnel.

All the way forward, Zhong passed a large number of verifications, and walked in the dark passage for an unknown amount of time, in a dark dark passage, only the faint light of the candle flame illuminated the range not far from the two of them, until the two came to a closed door.

After re-verification, he opened the door, revealing a dark, damp cave with the entrance of a completely rocky disguised by magic.

Just as she was about to open this last pass, Charlotte suddenly spoke.

"I forgot to tell you, so be prepared. ”

Lisa didn't have time to ask about the situation, the disguise magic was gone, but there was no need to ask, because she would soon know what Charlotte meant.

After staying in the dark passage for a long time, the sudden sunlight made Lisa's eyes temporarily useless, but in addition to her eyes, Lisa's other senses were also keen, and she instantly protected Charlotte behind her.

In the sunlight, the tall and burly old knight held the horse in one hand and the long sword at his waist in the other, just like that, looking at the two people who came out of the dark passage.

Unlike Lisa's vigilance, Charlotte was not a little surprised, as mentioned before, there were other people besides the royal family who knew about the secret passage, and Hancock King, who was the right and left hand of King Heberis, was one of them.

"Look, that's what I'm talking about. ”

Charlotte walked around Lisa towards Hancock.

"Hey!"

Lisa wanted to stop Charlotte's suicide behavior, but Charlotte refused, patted Lisa's arm, and Charlotte smiled back.

In that smile, which is not even confident or proud, is Charlotte's annoying eyes, the smile that everything around her is in her hands, which has always been Lisa's least favorite.

Lisa glanced at Hancock and made sure that Hancock was not hostile, so she reluctantly nodded and let Charlotte away from her.

Charlotte walked some distance in front of Hancock, stood still, and bowed slightly to the famous old man.

"Greetings from a long time, Hancock Qing...... It might be a bit strange to say that, after all, we only met once a while ago. ”

The reason why there is a feeling of not seeing you for a long time is entirely because the change in the situation is too unexpected, and it is easier for people to have a sense of vicissitudes in such a drastic change.

It seemed that Hancock was not going to make small talk with Charlotte, he didn't make any moves, just stood there and spoke to himself.

"Your father's bones have been found, in a dark chamber under the palace, and it seems that he has suffered some kind of ...... Mistreat. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Lisa noticed that something was wrong with Hancock, and that kind of statement was like trying to remove Charlotte from the death of Old King Heberis.

Hancock looked at Charlotte, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, but the 'expectation' component was the strongest.

"Although it is because someone deliberately put these things together that people subconsciously put everything together, there is actually no clear evidence that you killed the first king. ”

Lisa understood that the upright knight was unwilling to admit that Charlotte had killed the previous lord to whom he had allegiated, even if it was a lie, and would rather live in the illusion of self-deception, and he also hoped that Charlotte would deny it, deny it all.

-- What a sad loyalty.

"I ...... I will not betray you, even if you bear the grievance of killing your father and brother, as your knight, even if he goes away, he will fight with his life to protect you. ”

Once Hancock did that, he would become Charlotte's fellow party and be rejected by the whole country, and everything he had in Heberis, his reputation, his status, his family, would all come to naught, and even his family would become relatives of sinners, and he would encounter injustices that he had never experienced before.

Loyalty and affection, Hancock chose loyalty and betrayed affection.

Charlotte smiled at Hancock's eager gaze, but there was no trace of warmth in this smile, only a naked, naked, naked, mocking Hancock's stupidity.

"No, I killed my father, it's time for you to face reality, okay?"

There was no explanation, no argument, and Charlotte calmly told this deeply oppressive truth.

Charlotte's ridicule was like a sharp knife, peeling away Hancock's belief in protecting him bit by bit, leaving only bloody wounds that made the self-deluding Hancock look so ridiculous.

Hancock was trembling, his teeth chattering even after all the pain and sorrow, and finally, he pursed his lips, and the long sword at his waist slashed at Charlotte's neck with lightning speed.

Lisa's pupils shrank, and she wanted to act, but she only felt cold hands and feet. It was impossible for her to catch up, it was because of her trust in Charlotte that she would stand in the distance and wait, even if she broke her legs in such a critical situation, it was impossible to be faster than Hancock's sword.
