Otome's Law of Ascension

Chapter 41 41. Absolute Space

"Dad really intends to marry you to an old man?" Licia held the door that Ashe was about to close with her hands.

"What does he want to do, can you stop it?" Ashe pushed Licia, and snorted out a laugh. "You too, do you think that your father will look up to you now that you are the heir to the title?"

Ashe gave her a meaningful look, and then closed the door. Since her mother's accident, her relationship with her father seemed to have deteriorated to the point of incompatibility.

Licia returned to her room, and before she turned on the luminous circle, she felt something was wrong.

"Marian?" Licia put her arm on the door, but didn't step in.

A strange force pushed her into the room, and the door closed.

"The Eye of the Dead Sea." Before Licia pressed the coat of arms on her neck, she was hit on the temple by a force before she fell to the ground.

"Give up your life for my lord!" A man wrapped in black cloth raised his sword high.

Ascha had reminded her that the church would take action against her. She thought it was a frame-up, but she didn't expect it to be an assassination.

Licia looked at the disgust level of the opponent's empty bar. It was obvious that this person just wanted to kill her and had no other feelings for her. She couldn't move. A six-pointed star came out of Licia's hand and successfully reached the head of the black-clothed killer. .

Lycia rolled over when he was stunned, and summoned the armored knight without hesitation.

"Don't call me in the room!!" The armored knight came from an armor, and Licia's room obviously couldn't fit a war horse.

"Help." Hexagram's control over the killer in black was quickly broken by himself.

Lycia scrambled to get behind the armor.

The armored knight drew out the sword in his hand, and then swung it lightly. "Humans dare to hinder me."

Licia heard the sound of a severed hand falling to the ground, and before she could cry out in surprise, she smelled a pungent smell of smoke.

"Sure enough, he is a person in collusion with the darkness." The black-robed killer spread out the black cloth, and the magic circle emitted light from the black cloth, and flames sprang up from every corner of Licia's room.

The sword of the armored knight pierced through the chest of the killer in black, but he couldn't stop the strange fire from the magic circle.

"I, first give up my life for my lord!" The black-clothed killer screamed before dying. "Reveal the prototype in the light!"

Licia found that her room seemed to be sealed off, and the flames had already licked the corners of her clothes, but no one noticed anything strange about her room.

"How to do."

The armored knight helped Lycia block part of the flames with his copper and iron body.

Lycia slit her own skirt, reducing the fabric.

"Give you my strength!" The body of the armored knight, that is, the entire set of armor, was scattered into multiple pieces under the firelight, and then attached to Licia's body.

The hands and feet seemed to be manipulated, Licia could only feel the high temperature from the outside world, but could not be harmed by the flames.

Then she was controlled by the armor and ran towards the window, and then thumped on the invisible boundary. "Can not be done."

Although the skin was not injured, Licia was about to choke on the smoke and pass out.

She tried desperately to think about the magic circle in the closed space in her mind.

'What is the magic circle on the cloth?Ah, it's hot! 'In the flames, it's really hard to keep a good thinking rhythm.

Licia flitted around in the room, but luckily the room was big enough.

After the armor knight bestowed the armor on her, she no longer made a sound.

"Absolute space!" Licia suddenly thought of Caroline who was wielding an axe. She once said that the highest-level magic circle drawn by the shield coat of arms is to create an absolute space that cannot be broken.

A space that can only be broken from the inside.

Obviously it is the magic circle that can absolutely protect the safety of the space, but now it is used to imprison Licia, because she is not the initiator of the party, and she cannot break the magic circle.

And the person who triggered this magic circle has now died, and it is estimated that it has been burned to the point where only the skeleton remains.

From the very beginning, he had been determined to trap Licia to death, leaving no way for her to retreat.

Licia was already exhausted, and thick smoke poured down her throat.

When she fainted, pure silver light rose from the pile of burned clothes.

The silver undead thorn pierced through the flames and clung tightly to Licia's wrist, pulling her up.

It was as if life had been injected into Licia's body again, causing her to open her eyes again.

"Silver light?" Licia's eyeballs were almost melted, and she managed to glance at the thorns wrapped around her wrist. "I can't die here!"

She stood up again, and under her consciousness, the hand of the armor grabbed and threw out the silver thorn. The silver light split the flame in front of her, revealing a magic circle pattern that continuously burst out of flames.

"Now, I am your master!" Under Licia's consciousness, the armor picked up the black cloth engraved with the coat of arms of the shield and more complicated patterns.

The magic circle dimmed in Licia's hands.

Licia walked towards the door, and she heard a servant's exclamation from outside the door.

"Miss' room is on fire!" Marianne ran out of the servant's room without putting on her shoes.

Ashe smelled the smoke too, her room was very close to Lycia.

The armor that originally protected Licia disappeared, leaving only Licia lying outside the door, with silver thorns and a piece of black cloth also falling beside her.

"Are you sure you're from the church?" Dimitri quietly visited Licia the day after she was injured.

Marianne, who was standing aside, raised her head as if she hadn't seen anything, closed the door and went out.

"Yes, I'm sure." Licia could no longer turn a blind eye to the church's actions, she couldn't sit still, although she didn't know why the church was determined to kill her.

"However, the person who came to assassinate you, look up his identity."

Lizia was not seriously injured, and immediately refreshed upon hearing this topic. "What identity?"

"It's from the Till family." Dimitri walked from Licia's foot of the bed to the head of the bed, then looked down at her.

"But if it's just because of jealousy, it doesn't need such a big hand." Licia analyzed.

The young heir to the empire also nodded. "Yes. So, if you are sure it is from the church, then the Till family should also be on the side of the church."

The Till family is Dimitri's mother family, and he calmly assigned his mother family to the church.

"It seems that the church controlled some terrible power, which made my grandfather prefer to sacrifice me and attach himself to the church." Dimitri said.

For His Highness the Crown Prince to talk to her so confidingly, Licia felt a little uncomfortable. Knowing too many royal secrets also meant more things to bear.

"What do you think?" Dimitri looked at Licia's brow bone from a height.

"I have the same opinion as you." Obviously it was useless to fool around at this time, and Licia responded to him very clearly.
