Chris's Faith of Fire

He sighed in his heart and grasped the hilt of his sword again. He was the only one who could do it. A brave man would not kill innocent people... and the holy sword could not be stained with the blood of a girl.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the young man sighed.

He stepped forward to open it, and what he saw was indeed Princess Andrea.

She was not wearing armor and a battle robe as in the impression, but a silk dress. She had no trace of fat on her body due to long-term exercise. Her tight waist drew a perfect line in mid-air, and her chest was deeply open. The hole made him not know where to look.

"Are you still used to living here?"

The princess took two steps to come to his side and asked,

She sat on the same bed as him, her slender fingers covering the back of Alves' hand, but the boy gently shook off the princess' hand.

What's wrong with this? It's just a temporary residence for the assassin. No matter how many delicious food or beauties he brings, it doesn't change the danger of this matter.Alves only agreed because he wanted to save his companions, and had no other intentions at all.Even if the princess was sitting on the bed to seduce him personally, he would not let his desires go.

"Very comfortable, Your Highness. But I didn't know why you came here..."

"I just want to see how you are doing." The princess answered quickly, and her tone seemed relaxed, just like a playful girl who came to the boy's home.But Alves is not looking forward to this sour-sweet unfolding.

Come on, I say this as if I care about people, but I'm actually afraid that I won't be able to complete the task.

The young man was thinking this, but of course he was not stupid enough to say it out loud.

"Don't worry, I have credibility as a mercenary, but for my two companions, according to the agreement, you must let them go on time."

"Of course, I will let them go as soon as this is done, and Mr. Alves will see your little master at the banquet tomorrow."

To Alves, the girl's words were so vicious. On the contrary, if he didn't follow her orders, he wouldn't be able to see her. The task she asked could be said to be extremely difficult, or it could be said to be a piece of cake. If it weren't for Noel Because of Ma Kai, he had already killed the princess with his sword.

"How do you know I have the strength to complete this task..." Alves questioned her.

The princess' face darkened, she turned away... and sneered.

"Do you think I don't know what you did in the trial? You are very strong, and you also have two Neferrait paladins. Are you ordinary people?"

Princess Andrea answered him, her long black hair floating gently due to her brushing, carrying a refreshing fragrance of flowers and plants.

"If you didn't say that I almost forgot about those two people..."

"First of all, let's talk about it. Those two people are not within the scope of release. I have to keep them. Looking at your team, I know that those two people were not among you originally. I guess they are the nosy Cardinal Patricia. Let them follow you, although they are more interested in you now, but the agreement is the agreement, complete the task, I will let you go...and then these two paladins will stay."

Alves was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to return the two knights to us. Did she want to pass the responsibility to the church?

If the responsibility for this assassination is traced to the Cardinal of Neferait, Lady Patricia will be unable to defend herself, and we will have no way to go back to collect the reward, so we can only sail northward in one breath.

Is this the purpose of this woman?How insidious. The behavior of the girl in front of her is obviously very similar to Garnet's Holy Sword Princess, but she is completely different inside. The Holy Sword Princess would never use such despicable means.

"Hahaha……"

"What are you laughing at?" Andrea felt strange when she saw Alves laughing suddenly. This young man was calm and mature, and he didn't seem like someone who would go crazy because of such a thing.

"I laugh at our misfortune... If Chris hadn't followed the rules so much when she was arrested by you on the street, she wouldn't be in this situation now. I take this as a lesson, and I will remind her next time. … Take action when it’s time to take action.”

"You are wrong. The soldiers of the empire are different from those of other countries. Fighting with the guards on the street will also mobilize the imperial guards. They are all very skilled and their number exceeds a thousand. No matter how powerful you are, you are not theirs. opponent."

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

"Oh...is that so?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's hair was curled up and full of murderous intent. The overflowing mana even made Alves unable to move for a moment.

how come?

Such amazing Mana, is she a wizard?But this feeling of mana emanates naturally from the body, like the warning color of an insect, which is as frightening as the warning color.

"Some of those 1000 people are stronger than me... Each of them can fight against the intermediate demons. This is the leader of the army, and they wear armor that can weaken magic. Even the fire cats with amazing destructive power can't You may not be able to defeat everyone at once, but as long as you have a momentary gap, you will die... Do you think you are a hero who can defeat thousands with one ride? If that is the case, why do the nobles still gather armies? Just go to the mercenary station to hire them at a high price Wouldn’t it be enough for a master like you?”

She seemed to be teaching a child common sense. Alves was sweating coldly as he pressed his hand on the sword, but Andrea finally gently stroked the back of his hand, and the murderous aura dissipated...

"You are a boring man, Mr. Alves, but that's why I can trust you with this task."

The princess stood up. Although her murderous intent had disappeared, her contemptuous look was still the same as what she had seen in the street market.

Chapter 248 243. The Red Banquet——1

Chrissy’s perspective:

There are still dark clouds outside the window. Will this city ever completely clear up?

Eileen told me that there is, and there is a week each year in winter and summer when the sky is extremely clear and the moon is the brightest at night.I put on my clothes, washed my face and combed my hair. Today's banquet was extremely important, but I still slept well. The palace was filled with the smell of conspiracy, but I felt that it had nothing to do with me.

"Just go to the venue before noon. The banquet may last for a whole day." Ailian said, the empire is so extravagant even for small festivals such as Shuangzhi. Rod Culu Saint would never hold a banquet during the day.

Ailian has put on a dark gold dress, which is very gorgeous but not too exaggerated. Her crown is completely made of gold and is inlaid with seven-color gems. It looks very heavy for the girl.Fami also changed into noble clothes. His current name was Sir Farr. Naturally, the black pearls could not be brought into the banquet, but there were two sharp daggers hidden in his arms.

"Let's go..." Ailian said.

After saying that, we stepped on the red carpet and walked to the venue.

The banquet was held in the central grand banquet hall. There are seven banquet halls in the imperial city. Seven is an auspicious number because it is said that there are seven levels in heaven and seven on earth... Of course, no one has verified whether this is true. A story I heard from my ancestors.

The central banquet hall is the grandest and most exquisite of the seven halls. It can accommodate hundreds of people on both sides, and it can still receive noble guests on the second floor.The middle of the venue has been arranged, but there are no seats. It is a standing-dining mode. Only members of the royal family can sit down. I looked up and saw two seats on the steps in the center of the hall. One of the two chairs belonged to Ailian. The other belongs to Princess Andrea.

Sitting there, you can overlook the whole place, and your voice can be conveyed to the whole place.

I was making the rounds in my maid outfit, holding a tray with drinks in my hands. It was a little heavy, and I would have liked to have been able to hold the snacks instead of the glasses if possible.

Fami, on the other hand, followed His Majesty the Emperor at a certain distance. He would probably be introduced to other nobles. How would Ailian cover up this lie at that time?He is now just set as the eldest son of an unknown nobleman, and was promoted to the emperor's bodyguard because of his outstanding skills.

There are not many guests yet, and there is still half a minute before the scheduled time. The guests will enter the venue one after another.

I watched the guests gradually walk into the hall. Most of them had heavy faces. Could it be that they all knew something would happen today?

Recalling yesterday, Fami used her vampire ability to read out from the captured captives the fact that his instigator was Princess Andrea, and Ellen bit her lip. She said to Fami, thank you... ...But anyone can see that the smile is holding back tears and gripping our hearts tightly.

Do twin sisters really bring misfortune...

While thinking about these things, more people arrived at the banquet hall. Most of them were people they had never seen before... looking at their attire, they were not very famous aristocrats. Big names often appeared last. This sentence seemed very appropriate now.

After about two moments, he came.

Sparky Snakeskin Willard.

He smiled slightly when he saw me.

"Give me a glass of wine, Miss Maid."

"Yes."

There was no emotion in her voice, she just handed him the wine glass politely.

"Don't be nervous, you are no longer my target. After today, I don't need to endure hardship..."

"Ok?"

After leaving meaningful words in my ears, Willard picked up the glass and left.

"What's wrong, Chris?" Fami came closer to me, and in order not to attract other people's attention, I gave him a glass of wine.

"Nothing, Willard just came to talk to me."

"Did he make things difficult for you?"

"No...but I always feel like he has some plans today."

"It must have been aimed at Lord Rashu or Princess Andrea, because the thief that day was Andrea's subordinate and he had nothing to do with this matter."

That guy is still tied up in the basement, because some of the castle guards also belong to Andrea, so when she saw me shooting her spy off the rock wall that day, she must have reported it.

"Anyway, be more cautious."

"certainly……"

Now Willard and the new nobles are in the same faction. They were originally supported by Emperor Aaron, but in fact the power on this side has now fallen to Willard. Ailian is just a puppet, even 1000 people The escorts are all in the hands of Willard. Of course, they want to defeat Lasu and the nobles of the Senate to gain core interests and dominate the country. Therefore, if Willard launches an attack, the target should also be Lasu.

But Lasu is naturally not someone to be trifled with. It can be seen from the tea party in Tianyuan that he has extraordinary bearing. He must know how to deal with his political opponents. He is more experienced and powerful.

No matter how the two forces maintain a balance, the key lies in Princess Andrea...

She had already arrived at the banquet venue when the name came to her mind. Today, Andrea had her hair curled and her gorgeous dress had a high slit, which didn't seem to affect her movements.At the same time, she also put a cape on her shoulders, which boldly showed off her chest and waistline while also looking very elegant.

The nobles at the venue saluted when they saw her.

"Your Highness, look! Thank you to the stars and the moon for making you so beautiful. Especially today, this venue is shining brightly." Willard stepped forward and lowered his head, and Andrea generously stretched out the back of her hand to let him Kissed.

"Thank you, Lord Sparks...I heard recently that the arena is doing well."

"Thanks to you~"

He made puns, and the slightly curved corners of his mouth made people slightly uncomfortable.

"You have much more integrity than those businessmen. I have never defaulted on taxes... Thank you, Lord Sparks."

"The position of a minister is of no importance."

"I wish every noble in the empire could be like you."

"Your Highness, they will soon. I will personally teach them how to be loyal to the royal family."

"It's work."

After saying this, Andrea walked to her seat with graceful steps like a model.

She came to her seat, nodded to her "sister", and then looked forward...

Now that the host has arrived, the guests will no longer hold back. More and more people pass through the entrance of the banquet hall. Two or three nobles pass by at the same time, or even three or four.

After a while, the banquet hall that was empty just now became crowded.

Chapter 249 244. The Red Banquet——2

Lord Rashu seemed to be a protagonist. When he arrived, the nobles on both sides automatically moved out of the way, and Andrea and Elaine also walked down the steps to greet him.

"Welcome, my lord." Eileen said, and Andrea nodded slightly.

"Where, I wish you a long life, Your Majesty~ Your Highness Andrea, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you. Lord Rashu has been assisting Aaron since ten years ago, and he doesn't seem to have aged at all now."

Rashu laughed when he heard this flattery. He was still very handsome, but his face was full of wrinkles. Just looking at his face, you can feel the passage of time. If this person was young, he must have looked like this A handsome man like a member of the Fairy Tribe.

After the people on both sides exchanged greetings, the person who came to Andrea's side was the knight Lorraine. This man had also heard from Ailian and Fami yesterday. He was very skilled. If it weren't for the special ability of the black pearl, Fami might not be able to do it. He was able to defeat the opponent by cutting off his sword. Today he was guarding Princess Andrea with his sword. If there was a dispute, it would definitely be a tough fight.

Watching the remaining nobles entering the venue one after another, I was overwhelmed and had no time to pay attention to the developments of Ailian and Fami, so why not dress me up as a noble lady, a maid?

As I complained secretly in my heart, I felt a chill on my buttocks.

"Hey!" I don't know who touched my buttocks. She was obviously wearing a long skirt and yet...

Surprised, he turned around and saw that the murderer was a familiar person.

"Give me a glass of wine, Miss Maid."

The man's voice was hoarse and he seemed to be middle-aged or even about to enter old age. Although his long, messy hair had been washed clean, I still recognized him with his unnatural steps.

"Liles! Why are you... um!"

He quickly covered my mouth with his palm.

"Princess, it's not appropriate to say more now. It's very dangerous here. You should escape quickly."

"escape?"

I put the tray on the table. The nobles in the venue were all talking to each other and seemed to have no time to pay attention to me. I took advantage of the situation and followed Lyles to an inconspicuous corner.

Although he was lame in one leg, he seemed to be well behaved. He was just an old gentleman teasing the little maid.No one cares what is said here.

"Princess... I was hired by Willard to hide in the venue. Many people in this venue are not real nobles."

"What, how could..."

"Not only that, but the same goes for Rashu. About one-third of the people in the audience are mercenaries. I guess many people there must have knives hidden on their bodies."

Lyles' words gave me a chill. It turns out that it wasn't just Ailian who did this?Is Ailian, who is protected only by Fami, in crisis?

"It's too bad. I didn't expect it to be in such a situation. It's gradually out of control... My power is not easy to use here."

The entire venue is full of people, there are carpets and wine, the tables are made of wood, and flammable materials are everywhere... If a fire breaks out, it will definitely cause a large number of casualties, including many innocent people.

"Princess, in fact, this old man has contacted your companions below the city. The wizards and several orc warriors in the mercenary group known as the Sons of Zerxi are all good young men. Unfortunately, they lack experience and they lost The master became panicked, but fortunately I conveyed your information to them. At this time, they have prepared the carriage and are waiting for you."

"Eh? Really...really? What you did was really beyond my expectation, Lyles."

"Where, if I have been a smuggler and intelligence dealer, I can't survive on the road if I don't even have this ability. This fight has nothing to do with us. Princess, you want to leave the empire... After a while Leave immediately before the party starts so we don’t get involved.”
