Princess' personal painter

When Anita heard this, she gave Irene a resentful look, and then let go of Irene's feet as if she had been pardoned.

With a status as noble as her, it is a great shame for her to be ordered to massage someone else's feet, even if the other person's name is higher than hers.Irene didn't fall for her easily, but just made a small request like "help me massage her feet", which finally made her trapped in a cocoon because of the temptation just now, and fell into a situation that she couldn't refuse.

Anita reached out and rubbed her sore shoulders, but she heard Irene suddenly ask: "If I want to persuade you to withdraw from the battle for the throne and get back together with Xi Ya, what should I do?"

Anita was slightly taken aback, and her expression became serious: "I can't quit."

Erin asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Anita took a step back, with a vague sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Even if I tell you my reasons, you will only think that I am despicable. What's more, tens of thousands of Franz's legions have entered the country now. , due to the strength and influence of you and Xiya, many countries feel threatened. Torrenton, Weiser, and Anruel have already announced their support for me to inherit the Wakabayashi throne. If the situation is unfavorable, these countries may also promise I will send troops to reinforce it... Even if I repent now, there is no room for turning back."

After a pause, Anita used a mocking tone, and then asked back: "And Sister Isidor, are you planning to persuade her in this way?"

Erin narrowed her eyes: "What if I threaten you now?"

Anita said coldly: "In order to fight against you and Xiya, Franz sent five court mages to protect me, stationed around the mansion. The Holy See also sent a dozen knights from the Inquisition Office to come Help me, as long as you find out where you are alone, you will come out immediately... If you are confident that you can take me away under the siege of so many people, I am willing to play this game with you .”

"I don't need to take you away, I just need to make you unable to become Xi Ya's enemy."

With that said, Erin stood up and stared down at Anita in the pool, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.

Anita got up slowly from the water, with nothing on her body to rely on, but she was not moved by the strong murderous aura at all, only the strand of hair fluttered slightly in the wind: "Is that so? The current me is indeed just a fish on the knife, because I was killed because of carelessness... It is also my own fault, so if you want to do it, do it."

Chapter 33 Restart and the Jealous Knight

Erin had an illusion.

The hazy silhouette under the moonlight is as breathtakingly beautiful as a work of art, but it has a cruel and fragile atmosphere.Even this pretentiously strong body at this time can't hide the too empty heart in the depths of her gaze, as if nothing can fill it.

—Please kill me.

She seemed to be looking forward to it, and even used provocative eyes.

During the confrontation, the icy night wind blew, and while the water stains on Anita's body were dried, the chill also made her body tremble uncontrollably, making her feel pitiful.

Irene sighed in her heart, withdrew her bluffing killing intent, turned her back, took two steps and stopped, and said in a low voice, "You should rest early, don't catch a cold."

In this way, only Anita was left in the pool.

Hester, who had been waiting not far away, came over and stood beside her.

After a long time, Anita quietly walked out of the pool, put her arms around Hester's neck, and stuck her whole body on the warm fluff.She hugged her very tightly, as if the only way to get warmth from the endless emptiness...

The next morning.

Erin got up early, woke up Xingtong who was lying in bed, and expressed her farewell to Anita.But Anita didn't try to keep them, and sent the two of them to the gate of the city with the etiquette of treating distinguished guests.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness, and we will take our leave."

"Is my proposal last night, 'Mr. Jia' really not going to think about it?"

Both of them seemed to have tacitly forgotten what happened last night. Irene was still dressed as a teenager of a different race, and Anita returned to her elegant and confident posture, and walked up to Irene.

Erin asked tit for tat: "Why didn't His Highness accept my proposal?"

"What she can give you, I can give you all... Maybe I can't give you now, but I will definitely be able to in the future." Anita seduced in a very soft voice.

Irene shook her head: "This way of wooing is too unreliable, isn't it?"

"I just don't want to do nonsense."

Anita pursed her lips and smiled, her face suddenly moved closer, and she kissed her under Irene's surprised gaze.Irene clearly saw the sly look in the beauty's eyes, and the sweet and soft touch on her lips lasted for a few seconds, and then the other party pulled away, leaving only Irene standing there in a daze.

It's fine to seduce and tease yourself in private. This girl's body is indeed inexplicably attractive, but Eileen never expected that the other party would dare to do such an outrageous thing in public.

I am now dressed as a man, and Anita is Franz's prince and concubine.

Once this kind of thing spreads, it will be quite detrimental to her reputation.

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about another 'crime' anymore." Anita blinked at Irene, and smiled lightly, "As long as you want, my mansion will always open the door for you."

……

Because of Anita's outrageous behavior at the time of parting, Xingtong questioned Irene repeatedly after being surprised. Aileen was a little upset and said helplessly: "My identity has been exposed. Just to be safe, don't ask me for the next three days." Go through any town and get ready to camp in the wild."

Although Anita seemed to be planning to help her conceal her whereabouts, there were no absolutes in the world. If she was really besieged by a group of strong men, Irene would not have the confidence to escape.

Even though she defeated the Demon Monarch almost by herself last time, the conditions for her strength to reach that level are very harsh.This body is tolerant of all kinds of power, making her not suitable for fighting alone, but more suitable for becoming a Valkyrie in the battlefield.In sudden battles, she doesn't have so much "nutrition" to absorb, and her strength is even inferior to that of ordinary holy ranks.

Therefore, Irene's influence on the war is not as mysterious as many people think, her existence is more like a deterrent.And this kind of deterrence is based on the premise of countless deaths, just like what Erica said to her at the beginning - "Only in the most extreme cruelty, with the blood of the dead as nourishment, can the most fertile animals be hatched." Luxurious flowers."

Whether it is her as a candidate for a saint or as a princess of the old empire, their respective identities and circumstances have accurately verified this prophecy.

Xingtong asked puzzledly: "Since you are a candidate for the saint, why does the Holy See want you?"

"Maybe it's my presence that makes the Holy See feel threatened?" Irene was thinking, and suddenly noticed someone approaching here at a fast speed.She raised her hand in a defensive posture, and saw a figure chasing up from behind, falling in mid-air to the front, blocking the way of the two of them.

The visitor was slender, wearing an alternate knight uniform, and the long sword in his hand reflected the bright sunlight.

Irene was taken aback for a moment before she recognized who the other party was—it was the knight named Duran Castei who was next to Anita who had met yesterday.The surname of Castel belongs to a famous knight family in France and Leer. As for the knight named Duran, if I remember correctly, I should call the late princess of Ruolin as my aunt, which means that he is Sis. The cousin of the three Siyana sisters.

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Xingtong's mouth: "Your Excellency Knight, what can I do for you?"

Duran Castei's face was a little gloomy, he raised his long sword and pointed at Irene, and asked coldly, "Who are you? What's the purpose of approaching Anita?"

"We're just travelers who happen to pass by..."

The words were ordinary, but was interrupted by Duran sharply: "I don't have the patience to listen to you talking! Hurry up and tell me who your instigator is and the purpose of approaching Anita, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Irene said helplessly: "Your Excellency seems to have misunderstood me?"

"I'll count to three. If you don't get caught without a fight, I will deal with it as a crime of espionage."

In Dulan's expression, anger and anxiety were clearly suppressed: "One!"

Wait, this guy is kind of weird, right?Where did I provoke him?

"two!"

When Irene was puzzled, Xingtong next to her leaned into her ear and said to Eileen in a teasing tone: "I think he is jealous."

ha?jealous?

Irene was stunned for a moment, before she vaguely understood what was going on.

It is said that Duran and Anita are childhood sweethearts. When Her Royal Highness was still alive, they actually intended to match up the pair of cousins, but they didn't know what happened afterwards and it failed.Irene thought of Anita's meaningful eyes when she parted with her, and couldn't help but wonder, is this also part of your plan?The ambiguous behavior in public is to use this guy named Duran to test me?

At that time, the current situation could no longer allow Eileen to think too much. With the sound of "three" at the end, the knight suddenly swung a sharp sword light and rushed towards Eileen.

Irene subconsciously spread out the protective wall to block the sword.Unexpectedly, Du Lan's sword retracted and sank, and it was pressed down again in an instant with a force of a thousand weights.Irene, who was suddenly subjected to a huge force, was surprised to see the magic wall shatter in front of her eyes, and her figure was forced to fly upside down several meters away.

The scorching touch of the sword energy still remained on her cheeks.

Stopping in mid-air not far away, feeling the other party's anxious sword intent mixed with inexplicable hatred, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Irene's mouth: "It turns out that the loyal knight cannot realize his love, But I still want to protect the drama of the beloved Queen... Actually, this kind of story development that goes against ethics and is shamed by the world is the most to my taste!"

Chapter 34 The Real Enemy Comes

"Bang—" Erin blocked the sword again.

The blazing sun-like sword energy splashed in all directions, burning the ground in all directions.

Dulan, who was standing not far away, had a gloomy face at this time, exuding a very obvious killing intent.It seems that Irene's words hit his weak point exactly, and made him even have the idea of ​​killing someone to silence him.

"You are not my opponent." Irene judged coldly.

Duran Casdeil is a leader among the Franz Royal Knights, and under the recommendation of the royal family, he became one of the two deputy commanders of the Third Legion at age. He has an enviable status and fame. Anita's background is also an important bargaining chip that Anita relies on.But even so, he still has a very long distance from those who stand at the top of the continent.

The operating rules of this world are indeed so cruel.

After confirming that the other party could not pose a threat to her, Erin sighed with some emotion.

Of course Dulan was also aware of the strength of his opponent. He stood there for a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes suddenly, he suddenly turned the long sword, and cut a deep cut on his arm with his backhand.The blade of the sword was stained with blood, and it suddenly burst into a strange light.

The fuchsia halo splashed and flowed on the sword, momentarily captivating.

Wait, this familiar aura is...

Before Irene had time to think about it, she saw Duran's long sword resting on his chest with his backhand, glaring at his feet and rushing towards this side with a thunderous aura.

Aileen, who sensed the threat, didn't dare to be careless now.

She closed her eyes, gathered the magic elements at her fingertips, and swiped quickly.

Seeing that the knight was about to rush forward, the area was suddenly chilled, and a total of seven translucent ice walls formed in front of Irene.Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous sound of ice walls shattering. Every time an ice wall shattered, the chill in the place became more intense, and even frost began to condense on her arms.

This is the power that belongs to the "field".

When Duran broke through all the ice walls and arrived in front of Irene, he was already in a state of exhaustion—his body was shivering, his knight uniform was torn everywhere, and the wound on the tiger's mouth holding the sword burst open.Although the dazzling blood dyed the long sword more and more strangely, but his physical strength was not enough to support the outbreak, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a "thud" with an expression of unwillingness.

Even so, he still refused to give in: "Who the hell are you?"

Irene's eyes were indeed fixed on the long sword with a strange breath, and she said to herself: "This kind of power does not come from some weird contract. Is it the power passed down in the blood? This is Cass The bloodline that the Dey family relies on, this...should I say luck or sorrow?"

Dulan was stunned for a moment. He realized that his impulsiveness might have exposed the biggest secret of the family. Suddenly, he looked up and said a word through his teeth: "I will... kill you!"

"Really, I hate guys who don't understand style!"

As soon as the words fell, Dulan suddenly felt a chill on his neck, but it was Irene who held an ice blade against his throat.His body struggled a few times before he realized that his hands and feet had been frozen to the ground, and he couldn't break free for a short time.He watched Irene leaning over, and whispered in his ear——

"As long as you are willing to be obedient, I will not tell your secrets."

This voice is clear and sweet, but it is an out-and-out female voice.Dulan was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Irene again, only to find that she had untied her hair at some point, removed her disguise, and regained her girlish appearance.As far as Dulan was concerned, he had naturally seen the image of "Alyssa Mina", and he fell into a slump completely, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "You are...you are..."

Irene threw the ice blade on the ground casually, and asked: "Xia doesn't want to make her sister her enemy, and I am the same. Don't you have the heart to watch the two cousins ​​who have been together since childhood kill each other?" The knight had nothing to say for a moment, and Irene continued: "If you really like Anita, try to understand what she really thinks."

Ever since seeing Anita kiss Irene in the morning, Dulan has been holding back his stomach and has no way to vent his anger. In addition, at this time Irene showed her real body as a girl, Duran, who was seen through by others, has a kind of feeling. With a strong sense of shame, he turned his eyes away and said firmly: "I will never be used by you!"

"It's not a threat, it's just a proposal."

Irene took a step back as she spoke, and the icy mist covering the area began to dissipate. She took one more look at the knight on the ground, and then left.

After solving this trouble, the two continued to move forward, only to hear Xingtong next to him cover up with a smile and say: "Hey, I thought you were only nice to girls, so it turns out that you are so gentle with men!"

"Hey, where am I being gentle?"

"This sentence 'I hate people who don't understand style'..." Xingtong tilted her head and joked, "There is also this sentence 'As long as you are willing to be obedient, I will not tell you about your secrets', Why does it sound like coaxing naughty children?"

Irene was stunned, her cheeks turned red instantly, and she retorted: "Hey, you are looking for death! That's just the usual tone of the superior to the inferior!"

Xingtong asked back: "Huh? Isn't that the usual tone of voice that the elders use for the younger?"

"Don't talk about me, you vixen who has lived for decades!"

"His age and experience can't be compared with yours. Woohoo, I'm so envious of His Majesty the Empire who can remain young forever no matter how old he grows." Xingtong blinked pitifully.
