Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

The veteran lamented that time was unforgiving. The communication bug on his waist suddenly lit up, as if he had received some message.

With Yilin's help, Professor Field took off the guide worm from his waist. The message marked with light green fluorescent light made his expression even more solemn.

"What happened, Professor?"

Although Professor Field's expression was usually extremely serious and he never smiled, Aisha could tell at this moment that the professor must have received a very bad emergency message.

"The palace was attacked and fell. Although it is unclear who the force is, is the target of this group of criminals really the royal family?"

The capital of Levarden was specially chosen as the target of attack, so the Caesar family, which holds the highest power in the country, will definitely be the focus of the other party's attention.

"Logically, the palace should be the most heavily guarded place in the entire capital. How could it fall so easily? Professor, are you kidding me?"

It seemed like only an hour ago that Aisha left the palace and said goodbye to the little princess Nova.

Now I suddenly tell myself that the royal palace, which was guarded layer by layer by royal guards, has fallen. How can I accept this?

"There can only be one reason." Professor Field gave his own judgment, "An insider! And it's a family with extremely high authority in this country, in this capital, who has secretly colluded with the foreign enemy!"

Aixia said dully: "The traitor..."

If the palace really fell and the dark duelists' target was the Caesar royal family.

It’s easy to guess which royal family member is the easiest to target.

The second prince Dehao, who uses the Cyber ​​Dragon, and the first prince Omar, whose deck is unknown, are strong enough to resist the Dark Duelists alone even if the palace falls.

Including the elderly King Caesar, it is said that he is still in good shape.

Completely different from the other royal families, the Third Princess Nova, who had never actually dueled and didn't even have a complete deck, was completely defenseless in front of the Dark Duelist.

"Your Highness Nova!"

After realizing this worst possibility, Aisha's mind flashed with the innocent and lovely smile of the little princess before she left.

("That must be something very important to Aisha. OK, got it. I'll wait for you here.")

"No, I have to go to the palace now!"

Yilin stopped him and said, "Going to the palace now? All the enemies are there. Isn't it too dangerous?"

"Princess Nova and I have agreed that I will go back to find her. If I choose to escape now and Princess Nova is in danger, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"Student Aisha."

As a teacher, Professor Field should have firmly stopped students from taking risks at this time.

But he can't.

Letting her students break the agreement and choose to live a miserable life will have a more serious impact on her future path than her temporary safety.

And for some reason, Professor Field believed in this girl very much. Although she was just a first-year student, Field could see in her the opportunity to resolve this national crisis.

This may be the intuition of veterans.

"Aisha Yuna Carlos, go ahead! Go to the palace! Do what you think is right in your heart!"

"Yes, Professor!"

"But, I, this!"

He was extremely conflicted. Since Aisha chose to go to the fallen palace, Yilin would definitely want to go along to help and increase the fighting power.

However, if they left Professor Field, who was unable to move, in this thick fog where dark duelists could emerge at any time, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to leaving the professor to die.

"Rin-chan. It's okay. I can go by myself." Seeing Yilin's entanglement, Aixia said, "Sending the professor back to the mansion and informing everyone in the mansion of the current crisis is also a very important task!"

"Xiao Ai." Yi Lin nodded in understanding.

The temporary mansion that gathers the strong men from various families who duel with each other can be regarded as a combat force that cannot be ignored in this crisis, and we must find a way to mobilize it.

But Yilin was still unwilling to leave like this, so he opened the card box on his thigh and took out the card.

"Take this card with you, Xiao Ai. If it can help you in a critical moment!"

Adjusted the monster [Phantom Rabbit].

The card Yilin got from Megan in the Dark Game.

"(￣ー￣) Phantom Rabbit... I think I've seen this card somewhere before!"

The familiar card depicts a silver-haired girl with twin ponytails, holding a burning talisman.

This card can be said to have some kind of connection with Aisha.

Originally it belonged to the Marquis's son, Willy Barrett, who bought the tradable card with the help of his family's financial resources. It was also used in the duel with Aisha last night.

Then Willy Barrett lost this card in the dark duel with Alice.

Alice gave this card to the barrier master Megan as a reward for saving people.

Megan used the hand trap effect of [Phantom Rabbit] in the dark game with Yilin, but Yilin saw it and took the card away.

Finally, as a support for Aisha Carlos in the duel on his way to the palace, Yilin chose to give this Phantom Rabbit card to Aisha again.

After going around in circles, this very famous cute girl card, which is also a card that adjusts monsters, came into the hands of Aisha Carlos, who was the first to fight against him.

You Ling: "Take it, Aisha. [Phantom Rabbit] is very useful!"

Not only is Phantom Rabbit useful as a hand trap, the existence of the "adjustment" monster itself can also create another possibility.

"Thanks, Rin-chan." Aisha took the card from Yilin, "You Ling also said that this card is great!"

"/(//o/ω/o//)/Isn't it great... I hope he likes it."

Chapter 196: The Little Princess' Soul Exchange

Silence. After stepping into the palace, Aisha felt the silence of death which was even more eerie than the thick fog.

The many guards who were supposed to be guarding the palace were not at their posts, and there were no obvious signs of fighting inside.

This is probably what Professor Field said, that there was a spy who was in secret contact with the foreign enemy and used his power to transfer away most of the guards guarding the palace on the pretext of thick fog.

The few remaining guards, including the maids in the palace, all fell unconscious due to unknown circumstances.

"Dark game?"

After carefully sensing the weak mental states of the fainted guards around him, You Ling was almost certain that it was definitely caused by the Dark Game.

Even the palace guards do not all have the steel ghost-like willpower of Professor Field.

However, the guard who informed Professor Field of the fall of the palace was probably the one who held on until the end.

"That's too much, using the Dark Game on someone who isn't a Duelist."

For ordinary guards who don't have the Eye of the Elf and can't use duels, if they are dragged into the Dark Game, it will almost be a one-sided massacre.

And almost all of the royal guard captains who had the Eyes of Elf were not in the palace.

In a country, the number of people who can easily mobilize the royal guards can be counted on one hand.

Using such a huge power privately, is this insider really so confident that he can silence all the insiders? Let the entire palace, or even the entire capital, be buried with the insiders.

"Aisha... Lord Carlos..."

A weak cry for help was heard. Following the direction of the voice, the person lying on the ground was the young head maid whom Aixia had just met last night, who was in charge of taking care of the little princess' daily life.

"Great, Master Aisha, you've returned... The Dark Duelists... Two Dark Duelists took the key and headed towards Her Highness the Princess' room..."

"So the target is Nova!"

It was said that only two dark duelists were able to deal with the remaining guards in the palace. The gap between ordinary people and duelists was really huge, especially after the dark game was involved, it was even more one-sided.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Her Highness Nova."

That being said, the area of ​​the royal palace is not exaggerated. Even though the little princess' bedroom is on the first floor, it is still far away from the entrance of the palace.

"Please, we have to catch up!"

At this time, the third princess Nova Caesar was in the bedroom.

The petite little girl was shivering and curled up on the big bed. Nova, who was told by the head maid not to leave the room, could only sense the commotion outside through her ears. It started small and then gradually calmed down.

The little princess was filled with an unknown fear that she had never felt since she was born.

Nova, who grew up in a royal greenhouse and was ignorant of the world, could not even imagine what kind of terrible things were happening outside.

But her survival instinct and intuition kept telling her that she had to be obedient and hide well. Now was definitely not the time to be willful.

squeak--!

As the bedroom door creaked open, the little princess trembled in shock, but then she thought about it carefully.

"The door is clearly locked. Could it be that Sally (the head maid) has returned?"

Since the head maid came back to open the door, it should mean that there was no danger anymore. Nova was so excited that she didn't even have time to put on her shoes. She jumped off the big bed with her smooth little bare feet.

"Sally, everything is fine now... Who are you?"

However, after seeing the mysterious man in black robe coming in from outside the door, the little princess's petite body froze in place, unable to move.

"It's a pity that I'm not Sally."

Throwing away the bedroom key she had taken from the maid, Luca unhesitatingly lifted the black hood that covered her delicate face.

A young girl who was different from the villain she had imagined appeared in front of her. Her appearance, as pure and deceptive as an angelic elf, made the little princess let down her guard.

"Big sister, who are you?"

"Oh, you call me sister? The little princess is indeed worthy of her name, she is so adorable!"

Luca slowly approached Nova with a harmless and kind smile. No one would think that such a person would be a villain.

"Especially your blonde hair which is the same as mine. It's so cute that I want to touch it hard."

Nova, who gradually let down her guard, nervously replied, "Same blonde hair? Actually, you are also very cute, big sister..."

Nova was about to say that it was cute, but suddenly she noticed the scar at the corner of Luka's eye that was startled by her touch. She was so shocked that she subconsciously stopped talking.

"Go on, do you want to say that I'm cute? Or did you change your mind after seeing this?"

Luca, who had already approached the little princess while walking, pointed at her scar and asked with a smile.

It is completely different from the previous harmless style of painting, and seems to be mixed with a bit of madness.

"big sister?"

"Don't you also think that this injury is scary? Why don't you say anything, my lovely little princess!"

With all her strength, without any warning or surprise, Luca's right foot wrapped in white stockings kicked Nova hard in the lower abdomen.

The sudden pain and impact of her stomach churning made Nova sit down on the ground, holding her stomach. She instinctively stuck out her pink tongue and retched, and the acid in her stomach and tears flowed out together.

"Do you know how you got this scar?"

Pulling the hair of the little princess who was retching, Luca bent down gently and showed the scarred cheek to Nova.

"I-I don't know..."

Enduring the churning in her stomach, the little princess struggled to answer.

"This is a gift from your country, from the prison under this capital. This scar that can never be erased was given to me by you, Nova Caesar! But you actually told me that you didn't know?"

Driven by anger, Luca pressed the little princess's head to the ground, causing her white and tender cheek to rub against the ground at close range.

"So now I'm back to repay you. How about I leave one on your lovely cheek? No, no, no, one is not enough. Let's return the favor. How about I leave one on each side?"

"No! Please, let me go! I really don't know anything."

Her tears soaked the floor. Nova, who had never suffered such humiliation and injustice in her life, could only feel deep terror and did not even have the courage to be angry.

"Cry, cry even louder. Nothing can heal my current irritability better than the heart-wrenching cry of a cute little loli."

"Stop playing around, Luca, and get down to business."

Through close-range magical transmission, the old voice in Luka's mind sounded.

Rockford Slynt, as the head of a large family in the Saint Varian Empire, so brazenly invaded the palaces of other countries' capitals with his granddaughter.

It depends on three points.

Firstly, there is the Duke's family, whose status is second only to the royal family, acting as an insider.

Secondly, while the Millennium Barrier was unfolding, no one could leave the capital city which was shrouded in thick fog.

Thirdly, he possessed the absolute dominance of the Millennium Eye, and there was no possibility of failure in the dark game.
