"It doesn't matter. I just happen to be planning to get rid of you, a woman."

Emilia sneered.

"Okay, remember to wait for me on the Yellow Spring Road, and come back to seek revenge on me decades later."

Priscilla put away her folding fan.

She grabbed in mid-air and a huge sword blade appeared in her hand. No one knew where this huge sword came from.

But when the giant sword appeared, it was accompanied by red flames.

A sword decorated with an unusually beautiful pattern, with a bright red color from the hilt to the blade.

It shines with a light that burns the eyes like the sun.

Emilia tried to use magic, but it was too late for her to start.

Priscilla held the giant sword and the attack had already landed.

The enormous pressure and impact caused the carriage Emilia was in to deform, the horses were frightened, and the flames instantly engulfed Emilia.

"Oops!"

Lin Yu loosened the reins and stood in front of Emilia. He took the attack of the giant sword, but the scorching flames surrounded Emilia, and the sudden high temperature attached to Emilia's skin.

Lin Yu's eyes went dark and he was back on the flat road.

"We have a carriage behind us."

Emilia's voice came from behind Lin Yu.

There is no doubt that Lin Yu encountered a long-awaited flashback, the reason being Emilia's death.

The woman's bad temper gave Lin Yu a headache.

Just a few verbal quarrels could make her want to kill.

And her strength is not weak either, and the sword is even stranger.

And the driver in front of her was probably not a simple person either.

Now it's time to make a choice. Would it be better if Emilia could be made kinder in advance?

Lin Yu couldn't help but think.

Unless it is necessary, Lin Yu does not want to take action directly. Lin Yu wants to keep the entire process of the king selection mysterious.

It would be best not to attract attention, and there was no way for Priscilla to verify whether this person was someone who could be killed.

If killing Priscilla would also cause a flashback, then it would be like shooting oneself in the foot.

"Don't get into conflict with them, they are not simple, be as polite as possible."

"No matter how you are treated, you must control your emotions."

Lin Yu warned Emilia in the briefest words.

Emilia actually wanted to ask why, but when she saw the carriage coming nearby, she could imagine that the person sitting inside was probably a person of status.

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Emilia said.

"Whoever is sitting inside, show yourself."

Priscilla's voice was still as arrogant and domineering as before.

"Hello, I'm Emilia. I come to the king to participate in the royal election."

Emilia took Lin Yu's words to heart, she tried her best to keep a smile on her face and spoke in a calm tone.

"How can a bitch like you participate in the royal election?"

Priscilla spoke in a low voice, her hands clenched, and the huge sword appeared in her hands again.

"This crazy woman."

Lin Yu cursed inwardly. Before this, the craziest person Lin Yu had ever seen was Elsa.

But now Lin Yu can clearly feel that his cognition has been refreshed.

This crazy woman is too scary. Attitude doesn't matter to her. As long as she doesn't like someone, she will attack them.

Lin Yu loosened the reins and this time stood in front of Emilia. The giant sword fell suddenly. Lin Yu saved Emilia, but the carriage turned into ashes.

Priscilla walked away without even looking at him.

"This woman, if I have the chance, I will definitely kill her."

Emilia gritted her teeth and said harsh words while checking Lin Yu's injuries.

Lin Yu wiped his face with a towel. Priscilla's attack was not that troublesome for Lin Yu. Fortunately, Emilia was spared.

It's just that the carriage was damaged. We are not far from the capital now and can reach there on foot.

They had already left home in advance. According to their original plan, once they arrived at the capital, they could have a good time and then go to the palace.

But there's probably no time now.

Lin Yu was even very cautious when entering the royal capital. Priscilla was a lunatic, and she might be waiting somewhere and suddenly attack.

Lin Yu and Emilia came in late. Although they ran as fast as they could, they still seemed to feel nothing in the end.

When Lin Yu and Emilia entered the palace, the bell rang.

Emilia held the badge of the King's Choice and took Lin Yu with her without any hindrance.

The palace gate slowly opened, and the other candidates for the royal selection were already in place. Lin Yu saw familiar people and strangers among them.

Reinhard and Firut were also there, but everyone present had a solemn expression on their faces.

Everyone at the round table lowered their heads and said nothing.

Lin Yu brought Emilia in, and no one looked at them. The strangeness was spreading.

Lin Yu pulled Emilia behind him and kept looking around. As for the other candidates for the king present, Lin Yu no longer considered them.

"Why isn't everyone talking?"

Emilia asked in a low voice.

Lin Yu put his finger on his lips, signaling Emilia to keep quiet.

Lin Yu's eyes kept searching, not missing any corner.

Until his sight finally rested on the throne on the high platform in front of him. That position was not simple, it could almost be said to be an important mission for the kingdom.

They hold the power and control the fate of the country.

That is not the position of the king, but the position of the Council of Sages. If it is explained in the way that Lin Yu can understand, they are all prime ministers of the country.

Originally, the royal election would officially begin with the announcement of these people. Originally, they would bless the candidates and declare the fairness and justice of the entire royal election.

But now those positions are empty.

If Lin Yu and Emilia were at the bottom, they would not be able to see what was happening above. Lin Yu stepped on the stairs and slowly walked up.

There was blood all over the steps, and the closer you got, the stronger the smell of blood became.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. When he finished walking down the stairs, what appeared before his eyes was indeed corpses, a group of corpses.

These powerful people who could represent the will of the country died just like that.

Their eyes were dull, as if they could not accept their own death.

Lin Yu now suddenly understood why everyone here looked so dejected.

Because this means that the entire country may be undergoing major changes, the murderer may be among them, and the deaths of these powerful people cannot be spread.

The country may become chaotic as a result.

By then, all lives will be lost and the only ones who will pay the price will be the civilians.

"Hey, why are you doing this?"

Reinhard's face was gloomy, and everyone present was involved. Lin Yu guessed that Reinhard might have seen something, so he spoke.

His eyes were fixed on Priscilla, as if Priscilla was the one who killed these guys.

"Reinhard, I know you are a knight of the kingdom and you have the duty to fight criminals, but you are wrong if you want to arrest me as a law enforcer."

"You were there, and in the eyes of the outside world, you are also a suspect. If you want justice, of course you can."

"Come and kill me, but not as a knight of the kingdom, but as a candidate knight of the king's choice."

Priscilla had the only smile on her face.

The door slowly closed at this moment. Lin Yu also knew the person who closed the door, the coachman who had been in front of Priscilla before.

It can be imagined that the operation of closing the door was instructed by Priscilla.

Lin Yu had no clue and did not see the whole process, so he could only listen to their conversation first and then make a judgment.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that it was really Priscilla who did it, and she killed the person on the throne in front of everyone.

"I don't understand you."

Reinhard looked at Priscilla in front of him, his brows almost wrinkled, and now the door has been sealed.

This looked like some hands-on driving, but Reinhardt didn't care, at least not with his strength.

Reinhardt witnessed Priscilla killing the powerful people with his own eyes. At that time, Reinhardt thought it was just a simple greeting, but by the time he reacted, it was too late.

What Reinhard wanted to know now was the reason why Priscilla took action.

Reinhardt knew Priscilla, and he even knew from a long time ago that Priscilla's style of doing things was arrogant and domineering, but she dared to do such a thing, so she should be given an explanation.

"The powerful always think that they are high above and can control everything. If they want to solve the current troubles, all they need to do is become king."

"I'm not interested in playing house with you guys."

"Votes? Factions? Support?"

"I don't need that, I just need a winner, there just needs to be a winner."

Priscilla stood in the middle of the hall with her arms spread out as if to announce everything.

"This is a game of killing. If I kill the other candidates, I will be the final winner."

Priscilla said in a deep voice.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Reinhardt drew the long sword from his waist.

Priscilla spoke her mind.

"Indeed, what she said makes sense."

Lin Yu roughly understood what Priscilla meant. She wanted to deal with the matter of Wang Xuan in the fastest and most direct way.

There may not be a deeper reason behind this, maybe she was born with this kind of personality.

But if this is Priscilla's tactic, Lin Yu is happy to accept it.

"Whether you heard it or not, whatever decision you made."

"The palace is here, the capital is here."

"You can run away, but it doesn't matter, I will find you."

"I'll give you another piece of advice. Running away is definitely not a good option."

"Al!"

Priscilla waved her hand and called her knight to come over.

At this moment, everyone gathered at the round table, whether they were candidates or knights.

Everyone was on high alert, guarding against attacks that could occur at any time.

"Now then, the king selection officially begins!"

Priscilla raised her hand and then dropped it sharply.

The round table shattered at this moment, the floor collapsed, the entire hall cracked, and everyone was buried inside the building.

People from the palace rushed over quickly, but when they dug through the rubble, they did not see any survivors inside the building, or to be exact, they did not see any injured people.

It was as if this was an empty building, the only bodies were those of the powerful people who were killed by Priscilla while sitting on the throne.

Lin Yu took Emilia to walk around the palace. In order to hide from others, they changed into palace clothes and mingled with the guards.

The game has already begun, and Lin Yu cannot increase any risk of exposure.

Priscilla's existence is like a weird nuclear bomb, and she has the potential to send everyone to heaven.

Lin Yu had seen the person who made the move earlier. It was not Priscilla, but the guard beside her.

From the sound of Priscilla's voice, it seemed to be Al.

When Priscilla raised her hand, she attracted everyone's attention, but Al took action at this moment.

They probably had this plan in place from the beginning.

Priscilla's purpose in coming here was not right.

Lin Yu was not sure what the rest of the people were doing now.

But since everyone has a knight with them, there probably won't be any big problems.

"Where are we going now?"

Emilia asked.

Emilia was still frightened. If she was the only person on this trip, she would probably have been stunned by now.

But now that Lin Yu is by her side, Emilia didn't react much. She instinctively believed in Lin Yu and believed that this man would help her handle everything.

"First find a stable place to hide yourself."

Lin Yu said softly.

"It's not safe in the palace, or anywhere."

Lin Yu said again.

"Then why don't we go back? Back to our mansion."

Emilia felt confused.

Roswaal's territory is remote, but his own strength is considered top-notch in the kingdom. As long as he returns to the mansion, he does not have to worry about safety issues.

"No, as long as that woman is not a fool, she would have considered this issue before deciding to do such a thing."

"He won't let us leave the capital, although I don't know how she plans to do it."

"But I guess the king's city will be restricted from passing through, so it may take a long time. It's just that we can't see it now because there is nothing unusual."

Lin Yu said softly.

"And there's another bad thing to watch out for."

Lin Yu said again.

"whats the matter?"

Emilia's expression suddenly became serious.

"Have you forgotten that there were dead people and bodies in the hall? The kingdom doesn't know what happened exactly, but now all the witnesses are no longer at the scene."

"Then we can say that he escaped. We are all suspects."

"If nothing unexpected happens, all the candidates will be on wanted lists."

"The capture from the kingdom, the threat from that crazy woman, and the possible blockade of the entire city."

Lin Yu said in a deep voice. (End of this chapter)
