Princess' personal painter

Embarrassed and annoyed, Irene still maintained a weak appearance on the surface, but the clarion call of "counterattack" in her heart was ready to move...

Chapter 1 Food and Wine...and Conflict?

"Irene, isn't it your first time drinking alcohol?"

Under the dim light, Sisyana was lying lazily on the table, a few strands of blue hair scattered messily on the table.As she spoke, she raised the cup to Irene, shaking her arm slightly, and she didn't even realize that the jade liquid in the cup splashed on her hair.

"Of course not, Xi Ya, drink less..."

Although she was three-point drunk, she was much more sober than Princess Irene who lost her composure.She looked at Sisiyana, who had flushed cheeks and drunken eyes, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It's your first time drinking a bar? You lied to me that you can hold a lot of alcohol or something... Look, you're almost drunk ..."

"I'm not drunk!" Sisyana murmured with her eyes wide open.

The girl's cute appearance made Erin lose her mind for a moment.She lowered her head and took a deep breath, then stretched out her hand and said, "It's hard to be drunk..."

Without encountering resistance, Irene easily snatched the girl's wine glass.

Sisyana froze for a moment before realizing what had happened.She puffed up her cheeks pitifully, looked over with a pair of tearful eyes, and said eagerly: "When I wanted to try drinking before, Eunika would definitely stop me, could it be that Eileen you will too Become that long-winded type?"

Her Royal Highness's state of drunkenness is no different from that of a child.Subtle feelings surged in Irene's heart, and she coaxed: "I didn't stop you, didn't I drink with you?"

"Well, it's all Eunika's fault."

As if some switch was touched, Sisyana clenched her fist angrily, and complained while waving: "It's not just drinking...as long as what I want to do is a little bit out of the ordinary, she will definitely show up." Come and stop me, saying that as a princess, I can't do this or that, it's really disgusting! So, this time, it's just the two of us who slip out to play, hehe, don't bring her to ask for trouble !"

Hearing the resentment expressed by the girl, Erin mourned for Unika in her heart for half a second.

If you think about it this way, it's actually not difficult to attack a girl like Sisyana. Don't think about so many rules and scruples, just go crazy and make trouble with her.

Erin picked up the cup and took a sip.The sweet wine passed down her throat, and the vague smell of tobacco contained in it made her voice a little hoarse: "That's right, let's play outside for a while, and let that 'wife control' The guy should do a good job and hurry up for a while!"

"Actually, I also thought about taking Eunika to sneak out to play before, who made her not cherish the opportunity, and couldn't even understand the hint!" Sisyana finished speaking angrily, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to Drinking the cup, "Sister Irene still understands my girlish heart..."

Elder sister suddenly mentioned "girly heart" or something... um, so subtle?

"Wait, down, again, drink, la!"

Realizing that the girl wanted to drink secretly again, Eileen quickly pressed the girl's hand, and at the same time picked up the fork with the barbecue and stuffed it into the other's mouth: "Xia, you should eat something first!"

"Uh, uh..." Sisyana, who was forced to hold the barbecue in her mouth, glared at Irene resentfully, and had to reach out to catch the barbecue that was about to fall, and hummed dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you How dare you kill me!"

"This is reciprocity!" Eileen was referring to the fact that she was "fed" during the day.

Sisyana stared, threw the barbecue on the plate, stretched out two greasy hands, and made a gesture to pinch Irene's cheeks, and shouted: "You are too complacent, you are just my maid That's all!"

Seeing the girl's drunk-crazed appearance, Erin noticed the strange gazes from around, and couldn't help but panicked: "Xia, wait... There are still people watching us here!"

During the fight, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open heavily. The huge movement made Sisyana stunned for a moment, and she stopped moving with a blushing face.

Led by an officer, a dozen soldiers in silver leather armor filed in.

With sharp eyes, Erin saw that the crusaders' emblems were all embroidered on the shoulders of this group of people.If nothing else, they should be soldiers belonging to the Holy See.

Although the unnamed town is dilapidated, it is also on the main road of traffic, and it can be regarded as a resting place for people who come and go. The hotel and this tavern in the center of the town are exactly for these people.

Due to a series of things that happened, Irene has no good impression of the Holy See, and even has a hostile position.Moreover, the Holy See has not made any major moves for a long time, and the appearance of this group of soldiers has to be noticed.

While thinking, I saw that the group of soldiers was divided into several tables and sat near the two of them.

The tavern, which didn't have many customers, suddenly became noisy due to the influx of soldiers from the Holy See.During this period, vague conversations came from around——

"Are you really going to attack the heretics this time? Is the news accurate?"

"Who knows... According to the attitude of that great knight commander, it's probably close to ten."

"Judging from the scale of the recruitment, there must be a big move."

"However, Sislin's heresy has been running the territory for a long time, so it doesn't seem to be so easy to provoke?"

"It's just that the one called Coach Vikoff is more powerful. I heard that the Pope will personally take care of him this time. We only need to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers below."

"I heard from a brother in the council that the target this time is not only Sislin's heresy, but also an underground sect hidden in Silesia... Also, some time ago, the 'black tide' on Anruel's side Didn't the Knights come to the fore? It seems that they have been convicted of apostasy, and they plan to send troops to encircle and suppress them."

"Having said that, I heard that the 'Knights of the Black Tide' fled to the border of Povis, and that the Archbishop of Povis and the Holy See have been at odds with each other, so I'm afraid they will encounter some obstacles."

"When eradicating the heresy in the north, that crazy old man Charles didn't eradicate the 'Knights of the Black Tide' at the same time. It's really surprising..."

"I heard that she was stopped by that chick from Ruolin in the south, right? Speaking of which, that chick is really ridiculous. It's inappropriate for Anluer to be the future princess, and she insists on going to that muddy water, so that Ruolin provokes her well." She was ashamed. After returning home, she was treated as a target by those ignorant lowdowns, and now the little girl’s lair is in trouble, and I heard that she is hiding on the border as a coward, so she is trembling and dare not show her head!"

"Hahaha, a woman is a woman after all, so what if she is beautiful? Even if she has some strength due to her blood luck, she is just a short-sighted guy..."

"That's right, after all, it's just a man's vassal... Still a saint? I really laughed to death..."

"Don't talk about these things... Brothers take advantage of this opportunity to do a good job. As long as the knight commander agrees, there will definitely be glory and wealth. Women... everyone understands, right? "

After the man finished speaking without any scruples, the surrounding soldiers let out a burst of "hehe" laughter.

Unlike the glorious Holy See, the reputation of the Holy See Crusaders can be described as notorious.Because most of these soldiers recruited from various places came from the bottom of society, and there is no shortage of people with bad hearts among them.Therefore, it is commonplace for them, who lack faith and glory, to burn, kill and loot in the name of the Holy Light.

However, even knowing the nature of these soldiers, the Holy See basically acquiesced in all their evil behavior in the "heretic" area in order to make them work for themselves.

This is also a move by the Holy See to encourage more people to join the Crusades.

Irene and Sisyana, who were sitting nearby, listened to the conversation of these soldiers.

When I heard them start talking about the "Knights of the Kuroshio", Irene had a bad feeling.And then what Irene was afraid of happened. When they mentioned Sisyana, there was no shortage of insults and belittling in their language, and at the same time, they just hit the weakest point of her suffering.

Seeing Sisyana clenched her fists in a daze, but then loosened them weakly, showing a helpless look, Irene felt sad for a while, and wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

At this time, another sentence came out clearly in the noisy conversation: "Hey, when this thing is done, do you want to go to Ruolin? It is rare for this country to have civil strife. I heard that most of the pigs in the south are rich. It's oily, and women are also very white and greasy, maybe they can make a good fortune..."

Irene, who couldn't bear it any longer, felt drunk.

She stood up abruptly, picked up the cup and threw it on the ground——

The sound of glass exploding suddenly made the tavern extremely quiet for a moment.

Irene, who was focused by her eyes, glanced around coldly, stretched out her hand and pointed at several soldiers one by one, and said in a cold voice: "You, you, and you... all stand up!"

She was referring to the few people who made insulting remarks just now.

The group of soldiers looked at each other for a while, and then a burst of laughter broke out, and one of them who was pointed by Irene stood up, and said with a mocking expression: "The little guy is quite imposing. I was almost bluffed by you... What? Are you dissatisfied with what I just said?"

The other person who was pointed out let out an evil laugh: "Little girl, is this my uncle? Seeing that the little girl is still good-looking, I can accompany you tonight... But, let's laugh first." Show one to my uncle!"

Irene snorted coldly, and a phantom of a flame floated in the palm of her hand, announcing her identity as a magician.

This time, the tavern was completely quiet.

Realizing that the other party was not easy to provoke, the few people who spoke just now were silent for a moment, not daring to provoke the angry Irene again.

Irene looked at the leader of the team coldly.

Seeing the killing intent in the girl's eyes, the noble officer in charge of the team was shocked. He put one hand on the saber at his waist and said calmly, "We belong to the second group of Crusaders. I don’t know what this lady is doing? If it’s because of some disrespectful remarks my subordinates made, I’ll make them apologize to you; however, if the lady intends to make us enemies, don’t blame me Report you as 'heretics'."

Listening to the officer's unrepentant words, the murderous aura emanating from Irene's body became heavier and heavier.

As a nobleman, in fact, he has long been in cahoots with these soldiers, right?

Hehe, relying on the backing of the Holy See, I really have nothing to fear...

"...Now, even an apology is useless, pay for your words and deeds." Irene's icy voice pronounced the fate of this crusader team.

Chapter 3 Fighting and... Acting skills of the girls?

Since awakening as a beginner in magic, Irene has gone through a lot of experience and growth, coupled with the advantage of blood, her magic power has improved rapidly.In just two months, she had already glimpsed the edge of the threshold of an "intermediate magician".

Through probing the strength of the Crusader squad, Irene has full confidence to deal with this group of guys.

In this world, the reason why people with magical qualifications are so fearsome is because there are almost no weak people among magicians.Even though Irene's current magic rank belongs to the last level, if a face-to-face battle occurs, she still has a huge advantage over ordinary warriors of the same rank.

Unless she possesses a large amount of force, or a method of sneak attack, with the innate keen perception of a magician, Irene is almost invincible.

It is also for this reason that people with magical aptitude, even if they have not yet awakened, have an innate advantage in the cultivation of martial arts - Eunika, who has the blood of the Caroline family, belongs to this category.

When Eileen first learned the "rules" of this world, she had to feel that the "strong eat the weak" in this world was too obvious, and secretly felt lucky that this body possessed the most top-notch talent.

Simultaneously with rejoicing, there is also an inexplicable sense of responsibility.

The stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility. This point has been fully verified by Sisyana... And will it be the same for myself?

Of course, Erin didn't think too much at this time.

By making gestures and chanting at the same time, using the fastest speed to communicate and establish contact with the magic power, Irene released her "exclusive" magic in an instant.

A few steps in front of her, the two crusaders who were trying to preemptively felt a phantom suddenly appeared beside her, and before they had time to react, they were hit hard on the back and fell to their knees.

Next, Irene took a small step back, avoiding a hidden weapon coming from a tricky angle.

The plain finger pointed to the nearest enemy, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

The soldier who was rushing towards Irene tripped, and his unstoppable figure flew past the girl, knocking over another table, and the overturned wine made a mess on the ground.

At the beginning of the battle, seeing Irene easily defuse these attacks, the soldiers who were already afraid of the magician felt like retreating for a while, and hesitated to go forward.

But the leading noble officer saw something. He drew out his long sword with a "swipe", pointed at Irene and said, "Aren't you too naive to dare to fight against us with this little strength?" After a pause, he He squinted his eyes and ordered: "This girl's strength is not high, everyone can take her down together..."

I only heard one of the soldiers ask: "It's not impossible to ask us to work hard. At that time, you can't monopolize it, Captain... Let everyone have a taste, too?"

"Naturally." A smile appeared on the corner of the officer's mouth. "I guess this chick is the daughter of some family. She dared to provoke the Crusaders because of her own ability. No matter how you look at it, she is a 'babe'..."

At the moment of the temptation of beauty, this group of soldiers was used to taking risks, and now they stared at Irene a lot more presumptuously. Without waiting for the officer's order, they swarmed towards Irene from several directions.

Hearing the enemy's words, Irene's face turned completely cold.

She was too lazy to speak anymore, and chose to answer with practical actions.

I saw the girl's body floating in mid-air, a slight wind sound came from the air, and countless blue silk threads loomed by her side - relying on the excellent calculation power brought to her by the headgear, she controlled the magic power precisely, This is currently the most suitable fighting style for Erin.

On the premise of not harming her life, Irene didn't hold back anything in this attack.

Facing the incoming long swords, the silk thread made of magic power went straight to meet them, easily took off the weapons, and wrapped them around the soldiers' wrists like ghosts.

Bleeding.

These people held their bloody wrists and wailed for a while.

Of course, the intensified battle in the tavern will not stop because of this.

The silk thread gradually soaked in blood seemed to be a part of Irene's body, both offensive and defensive, agile and treacherous.No matter how hard these crusaders tried, they couldn't break through the defense network they formed.Even if the silk thread is cut, it will reconnect immediately by itself.

In the course of the battle, you must also guard against their unstoppable attacks.

Cursing and wailing filled the eardrums, and the team that had just boosted their morale soon felt hopeless.
