Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

The mental attack of the fallen angel directly killed the group of monsters that attacked Pier El, but at the same time, many people with weak mental resistance died directly or went crazy.

"Is this so..."

"This incident wasn't your fault. If you hadn't used Pierre as a fortress to attract monsters to attack, Warhol would have suffered even greater casualties."

Crystal noticed that Xiao felt very guilty and hurried to explain.

"But, to kill one person to save ten, or to kill ten people to save a hundred, can this be considered justice?"

"this…"

"No matter how many people I save, it won't change the fact that those people died because of my plan."

"But...but..."

Crystal wanted to argue for Xiao, but she couldn't find an excuse.

"Don't worry, I won't be bothered by such a small thing. As long as everyone is fine, I'm already very satisfied."

"Brother Xiao, if you don't say 'you guys' to me and Sister Crystal at this time, you will lose points."

Rose, who had been silently standing by, smiled mischievously, trying to lighten the gloomy atmosphere.

"You girl..."

"Oh~ Stop pinching Brother Xiao, what if my face gets deformed? How will you be responsible?"

Rose did not resist, but instead smiled happily under Xiao's gentle pinch.

"Don't worry, I won't dislike you even if you transform."

"Men love to show off their words. I won't believe you if you don't show some reaction!"

"You damned girl, wait and see how I'm going to deal with you tonight."

"Eh? Do we have to wait until tonight? I think now's a good time."

"Rose, it's so early in the morning, please don't steer the conversation in a strange direction."

Crystal interrupted Rose with a blushing face.

She had a feeling that if she didn't stop Rose, she would be dragged into the strange developments.

"Then wait until my sister and Sasha recover, and then we can all join together!"

Chapter 104 Two People Who Don’t Fit Into the Party Atmosphere

"Why, Hillilite, don't you need to entertain those nobles?"

"It seems unnecessary today. Those annoying flies are now pestering Lin'er, Lucas, and that damn girl Crystal."

Hildreth walked out of the ballroom and leaned against the stone fence beside Akatsuki.

The two are now in a castle near Pierre, attending a so-called celebration banquet.

When Lucas heard about the banquet, he was extremely disgusted.

Pierre's reconstruction work has not officially begun yet, and he does not want to show off the so-called victory in such a high-profile manner.

However, Count Warhol seemed to intend to take this opportunity to officially hand over the title to Lucas.

The funds for the banquet were also provided by Hillilite and Xiao.

Under coercion from many parties, Lucas was forced to hold this celebratory ball in the name of the Warhol family.

"Even if we're away from home, you wouldn't be able to come to my place so easily, right?"

Even though Hillary was just a guest at the celebration party, she was also the leader of the O'Neill faction.

Warhol's narrow survival of the crisis this time could be considered a major victory in the veiled struggle between O'Neill and Montgomery.

In addition, Hildet is still single, and Xiao felt that it was unusual for her to come to him alone.

"Why, do you dislike me?"

Hildreth raised her eyebrows and pretended to be unhappy.

"How could that be? It's just that I'm worried about being assassinated by your suitors."

"Pfft! Don't worry, they don't care about you at all. Those flies just want to marry me and get the official title of Duke of O'Neill.

Even if I had a thousand or ten thousand close relationships with the opposite sex, they wouldn’t care.”

"Aren't you a little too self-conscious? How about being more confident in your own beauty? Although there are some things that are a bit regrettable."

"You're looking at that?!"

"But I like it better. It's cute when it's smaller, isn't it?"

"You're such a hard-to-like guy, huh?"

Hillary turned around and lay on the fence, sighing somewhat melancholy.

"A smart and uncontrollable woman like me is the type most hated by the nobles of the empire."

"You're not shy at all when you say this."

"So, even if I wanted to get married, it would be difficult. And..."

"and?"

"Nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Hilt felt too embarrassed to say to Xiao that she also wanted to have a sweet and sour romance.

"It's annoying to leave things unsaid, but if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Even you can be considerate of others."

Seeing that Xiao didn't ask any further questions, Hillilite smiled and joked.

"If you weren't so sharp-tongued, Hildreth, maybe a man would show up who would truly pursue you."

"You are such a jerk, you can't bring up anything, right?"

"Okay, enough small talk. I want to ask you something, okay?"

Noticing the waiter who had been watching the two of them leave, Akatsuki cast a spell and got down to business.

There were some things he wanted to ask Hillilite.

Xiao is now a little hesitant about whether to take Crystal and the others away from the country.

"Tell me, I'll answer if I know."

“Is it really okay to make that kind of promise?”

"It's not for everyone, just you!"

"Oh?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

"Well, Miss Hillette, could you tell me your measurements?"

"You bastard... I, I didn't measure it either."

Seeing Hillilite's ashamed and angry look, Xiao couldn't help but want to continue teasing her.

"That's a shame. How about I measure it for you someday?"

"Is that something you can say to an unmarried woman? Get down to business, you bastard."

"Why is the imperial election so intense this time? This is so different from what I heard from Crystal about history."

According to the history of the empire told by Crystal, the emperor chosen by the Gadis Empire was very different from what Xiao remembered.

Before the imperial election began, the heir to the throne had already been decided by the emperor and some noble ministers.

The imperial election itself is merely a test for the heir to the throne, and a platform for gaining greater influence through power struggles with several major families in the empire.

Therefore, in previous imperial elections, apart from the princes and the occasional princess heirs, there were no other casualties.

However, both the Macaulay incident and the Warhol disaster clearly exceeded the scale of previous royal election disputes.

"Since you heard it from Crystal, you should be familiar with the succession pattern of the imperial throne, right?"

"Ah."

“During this imperial election, Adolf betrayed the emperor’s decision to hand over the throne to the second prince, and pushed for his nephew, the eldest prince, to inherit the throne.

He even married his three daughters to that bastard for this.”

Claire, the mentor of Hillilite and Christophe, is the youngest daughter of Adolf's wife.

If she wasn't the only seven-star magician in the empire, she would probably have been given away by her father as a toy.

"The emperor has no power to interfere in this matter..."

"Well, after the original queen passed away a few years ago, Adolf's sister became the new queen. Now even the inner palace of the palace is basically controlled by that guy."

"Oh, this seems really troublesome. I wish they could just stay within the imperial capital."

"Your words are very irresponsible. Are you planning to leave the Empire?"

"To be honest, I'm still struggling with this. After all, there are a lot of people I know here. And I can't help all of them leave the empire."

【Also, not everyone is willing to leave.】

Xiao looked helplessly at Hildrite beside him.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"It's nothing, but can't they solve the problem in a more peaceful way?"

"It feels quite ironic coming from you. By the way."

"Ok?"

"If you stay in the Empire, do you still plan to go to White Territory?"

"I will go. After all, I don't have any other plans."

"Then do me a favor. There's a troublesome person who's lost contact in White. I suspect it has something to do with that idiotic father and son in White."

"Then you owe me another favor."

"Just owe it, you never meant to collect it anyway."

Hildet smiled wickedly.

"Hey! You'll definitely regret it later."

"Then I'll just pray that day doesn't come. What's wrong?"

Xiao also noticed that the originally noisy dance hall suddenly became quiet.

"Ah, ah, someone seems to be causing trouble for Crystal and the others."

Hearing Crystal scolding someone, Akatsuki sighed.

"Let's go and take a look."

Chapter 105 The Troublemaker

"Are you Miss Crystal? It's really nice to meet you."

"Although you may not know this, Olive and I are both your fans!"

"That Lucas, these two are..."

Surrounded by the two girls who suddenly followed Lucas, Crystal was a little overwhelmed.

"Excuse me, I'm Joanna Browne, and like His Highness Sibel, I'm Prince Lucas' fiancée."

Watching Joanna bow to Christo gracefully, another shy girl also introduced herself in a low voice.

"I'm Olive Leighton@woooo ...

"Sorry Sister Crystal, this is Olive Leighton, one of my fiancées."

Seeing Olive biting her tongue awkwardly, Lucas quickly came to her rescue.

"One of my fiancées, I didn't expect that a jerk like you, Lucas, would be the same."
