“There are signs of battle.” Li Cheng said halfway through his sentence, then glanced at Skadi and Isaac. “The second team will stay and guard the hall. Your Highness, Commander, let’s go upstairs and take a look.”
Skadi nodded. She didn't have much practical experience. Although she had clashed with assassins at Isaac's mansion and Samuel's clinic, Ye Xiao had escorted her to the carriage that time.
Therefore, the on-site command was left to the more experienced Li Cheng, while Commander Isaac's main task was to protect Skadi.
The group immediately went up the stairs to the second floor and headed straight for the master bedroom.
Pushing open the half-closed door, one finds servants sprawled haphazardly on the floor, along with members of the imperial guard squad and a marquis being protected in the very center.
Everyone rushed into the room to check on them. Fortunately, although the people were covered in blood, they were still breathing faintly.
"Quickly escort the accompanying priest downstairs up!" Li Cheng first turned his head to give the order, then hurriedly squatted down to check the marquis's injuries on the ground. There were obviously some external injuries, but fortunately none of them were too serious. "Sir, are you alright? Hold on a little longer, the doctor will be here soon."
"...Madam...the rooftop..." The Marquis seemed to be just beginning to wake from his unconsciousness, "Go to the rooftop...save my madam..."
Rooftop?
Li Cheng frowned slightly, then glanced at the group of people lying on the ground in the room. He did not see anyone who looked like the Marquis. He then looked up at the window that was wide open in the howling wind and understood. He immediately waved to the others to go to the roof with him.
As soon as he climbed to the outside of the window, he heard a few sharp clanging sounds in the night sky. He quickly used his hands and feet to nimbly climb over the wall and upstairs, following the carvings on the windowsill.
Having traveled extensively with Ye Xiao during this period, accumulating a considerable amount of universal points to enhance his attributes, Li Cheng's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary imperial guards. Therefore, he reached the rooftop in no time.
However, as soon as he reached the top, a resentful roar reached his ears.
"You definitely have a problem... Ella Havil...!"
what's the situation?
Upon hearing the familiar name, Li Cheng paused for a moment, then walked around the chimney and saw a petite figure in the night sky, wearing a hood and holding a long knife, with drops of bright red blood dripping from the tip of the blade.
A woman covered in blood and barely alive lay on the ground in front of her, tightly bound by rings of dark tentacles.
Judging from her expensive dress and the family crest on her chest, it was easy to tell that this was the Marquis's wife whom Li Cheng and his men were protecting.
The petite girl in the black cloak clearly noticed the person coming from behind, and turned her head slightly, revealing her small face covered by a few strands of silver hair.
"Miss Ella!?"
Li Cheng exclaimed in surprise, and then saw Ella make a displeased expression, put her index finger to her lips to make a "shh" gesture, and then point downwards.
[Late Night Snack: Dude, can't you at least send a message through the system instead of yelling at this point?]
[The Saintess's Dog 2: Damn, oh my god, I forgot about this move! What's going on? Why did the Saintess kill someone?]
[Late Night Snack: There's no need to use honorifics in the chat box, right? This woman is a mole planted by the Cult of Life. She pretended to be assassinated to lure me and Skadi out of the self-destruction, so I took her upstairs to an open area to deal with her. You'd better get away from her.]
Li Cheng hurriedly covered his head with both hands and ran towards the edge of the rooftop.
He had to be grateful for the system's greatness; otherwise, who knows how many strange misunderstandings would have arisen from that fleeting glimpse from the rooftop.
But he had only run a few steps when he saw a slender figure also climb onto the roof.
"Holy crap, Your Highness!?" Li Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief. How could this girl climb over the wall so fast? "Quick, let's go! We can't go any further!"
However, Princess Skadi paid no attention to Li Cheng's words, because her gaze was completely drawn to the hooded girl in the distance.
"Ella Haviere!!!"
Like a powder keg that has been lit, Skadi's anger would flare up the moment she saw that woman.
Ella also noticed the blonde princess's figure, and her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
The Marquis in front of her saw Skadi, her eyes flashed, and she screamed, "Help! Your Highness!"
Li Cheng immediately sensed something was wrong and stepped in front of Skadi, shouting, "Don't go over there, Your Highness! There's danger!"
Skadi ignored Li Cheng's attempts to stop her and gritted her teeth as she charged forward, yelling, "You damned witch, stop right now!"
This guy……
Ella curled her lips and subtly flicked her finger. A tentacle on the ground was immediately shoved into the other's mouth, making a gurgling sound as it lodged in the throat.
“Princess, if you take another step, the lady may lose her life because of your recklessness.”
But then Ella pressed the blade against the Marquis's neck and smiled softly.
But in fact, she had already slashed at this guy several times. With the blessing of the Mother of Life, he couldn't be killed by ordinary physical damage in one hit.
This, however, made Skadi stop in her tracks, tense. "What...what do you want to do!?"
Ella narrowed her eyes, revealing a sly smile, and then gently shook her finger. The woman on the ground was immediately gripped tightly, struggling and trembling incessantly.
"Step back, this is not the time for you to ask questions."
Skadi swallowed hard, glanced at the Marquis de Gaulle lying in a pool of blood, being slowly hoisted into the air by tentacles, and finally, her face flushed red, she couldn't help but slowly back away.
“With legs that long, you only retreated such a small distance. Your Highness really has no sincerity at all,” Ella tilted her head and put her index finger to her lips. “Unfortunately, I can’t hurt Your Highness. I can only let the poor lady bear the punishment in your place.”
"Woo! Woooo!!"
Ella pressed the pale back of her blade against the Marquis's chin, her dark tentacles squeezing the Marquis's eyes until they turned a pale white, and blood dripped from her tightly bound waist.
"Stop!!!" Skadi shouted angrily, her little feet continuing to slowly incline backward. "Witch! Evil spirit!! Is this the only despicable thing you can do?!"
Li Cheng, standing to the side, clenched his fists in righteous indignation at the scene before him. "Damn it! Why wasn't it me!"
[Late-night snack: ? What are you talking about?]
【The Saintess's Dog 2: Saintess, next time I must take on this kind of work】
Ella didn't reply, but gave Li Cheng a disdainful look from a distance.
Chapter 156 The Explosion Victim
As Skadi drifted further and further away, the bound and gagged Marchioness realized that the power of the Mother of Life within her was almost completely drained away due to the repair of her injuries. Finally, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.
Ella keenly sensed this and with a wave of her hand, several crows suddenly darted out of the night sky and crashed into Skadi and Li Cheng, who were located on the edge of the rooftop, like cannonballs.
The moment the two people fell from the top floor, the Marquis's belly suddenly swelled up like a balloon, then exploded into a shower of blood and flesh.
"Snapped"
A crisp, loud bang echoed through the night sky, and countless tiny, dark tentacles shot out in all directions from the shattered shell, as if hundreds or thousands of chains had pierced through everything in sight.
The pierced stone and brick walls raised clouds of dust, and the entire roof of the mansion was flattened and collapsed in an instant.
If this thing were to explode in the enclosed master bedroom, even if Ella were present, there was no guarantee that the lives of all the innocent people, including the Marquis, could be saved.
At the same moment the Marquise exploded, Ella used the spatial anchor points on the crows that collided with Skadi and Li Chen to teleport away, and at the last second, she picked Skadi up and held her in her arms.
As for his good brother Li Cheng, she kicked him in the butt and sent him flying into the second-floor window.
The collapse of the entire roof stirred up a large cloud of dust from the already pervasive fog.
Princess Skadi coughed, her vision blurred by the smoke and dust, but she felt herself being tightly embraced by a warm and soft hug.
Skadi vaguely felt that the embrace was somewhat familiar, but when she opened her eyes slightly, she saw the silver-haired girl's pretty face with a mischievous smile after the ashes dispersed, and her expression fell.
"You, you, you wretched woman, let me go!!!"
"That won't do. I finally managed to capture our little princess."
Skadi blushed and tried to push away Ella's slender arm, but although she was much taller than Ella, she was no match for her in strength.
This made their posture somewhat subtly comical, with the petite girl clinging to her much taller older sister like a pervert.
Ironically, while Ye Xiao always viewed beautiful girls with appreciation, Ella, feeling Skadi struggling like a kitten in her arms, suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure welling up inside her.
Her face flushed slightly, and she pinched Skadi's soft cheek with her small hand. Hearing Skadi exclaim "Eek!" and then tremble in her arms, she suddenly felt a strange pleasure.
Ella then lightly bit her pink lips, revealing a charmingly mischievous smile, and her little paws reached up to the other's soft neck. "Naughty children who don't behave will be punished, you know."
"Hey!? What are you doing!? You filthy woman, what are you doing!!? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
When the imperial guards found Skadi in the corner amidst the dissipating smoke, the pitiful girl was curled up on the ground like a duck, her lips pursed and tears welling in her eyes.
She crossed her arms and gripped her collar tightly. Her exquisite dress was still neat and tidy, except for some dust on the white stockings that covered her slender legs.
"Waaaaah, you filthy woman, I'm going to kill you!!!"
……
It's hard to say whether Skadi is more attached to Ye Xiao or Ella right now.
Meanwhile, Ella, who had become obsessed with doing bad things, had already returned to her bedroom in the villa in the academy manor area through a portal, wrapped in a small cloak.
Of course, she didn't do anything particularly bad to Skadi; she just pinched the girl's ticklish spots and cheeks with her little paws, making the poor girl both ashamed and annoyed.
It's so interesting.
As Ella took off her cloak and hung it on the clothes rack, she reminisced.
Thinking of the other person's exasperated and helpless appearance, Ella couldn't help but smile charmingly again on her slightly flushed face.
Sigh, it's strange, how come I never thought this eldest princess was so interesting before?
Cough cough... No, something's not right.
Ella pursed her lips and suppressed her smile. "I am a gentleman, how can I find pleasure in teasing young girls? I must not forget my true self!"
Although Ye Xiao is still cleaning sewers, you can imagine the scene of him fighting a bloody battle with powerful enemies. This is the handsome, dashing and gentlemanly me!
Ah... thinking about it, it's been a while since I've talked to Ye Xiao...
Stop, stop, stop! What am I thinking?!
Ella sat in front of the dressing table, cupping her face in her hands. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her face was flushed with embarrassment, and her little feet unconsciously crossed together.
No, no, no, I'm Ye Xiao too! I'm Ye Xiao too! ...
"dong dong dong"
A knock suddenly sounded at the door, and the silver-haired girl jumped up from her chair like a startled kitten.
"Ah, Lily... Lilia."
Ella opened the door and saw a small head with long, black hair peeking into the room.
"Ah, the gods are having fun on their own, and they're not even including me!"
As soon as Lilia entered the room, she saw Ella's blushing face and immediately became excited.
"Hey, wait a minute!..."
Poor Ella immediately suffered the consequences of her cruelty towards others.
After the two girls had been running around and making a ruckus in the room, Ella seemed to remember something for a while, "Huh!? Did you come in here to see me because you need something?"
“Ah! Oh, right,” Lilia stuck out her tongue, “that is, the Third Prince Leonard came to visit the God.”
Ella immediately flicked Lilia on the head, "You should have said this sooner!"
……
The third prince, Leonard, prided himself on having a good temper, but this was the first time he had ever been treated so coldly when visiting someone.
After greeting Lilia, he stood in the cold wind for about half an hour before the villa's door was finally slowly opened.
I don't know if Lilia was deliberately retaliating against me because we were both members of the royal family.
"I'm sorry, good evening, Your Highness Leonard. I was slightly delayed by some matters."
A fluffy silver-haired little head peeked out from behind the door. "The fire has already been lit inside. Please come in, Your Highness."
The Third Prince Leonard nodded and entered the room with his guards.
In the living room, Lilia, her face slightly flushed, was arranging the tea set with a smile. When she saw Leonard enter, she nodded slightly as a greeting.
Leonard didn't care. After all, it was already a sign that the royal family was in a good mood if his sister gave them a friendly look.
However, I didn't expect that the other person could actually walk on their own, even though they were in a wheelchair the last time I saw them at the palace.
After everyone was seated, Ella asked, "I remember that Prince Leonard often travels with Prince Raymond. Is there something important that brings you here alone this time?"
Chapter 157 Hidden Dangers
The Third Prince Leonard did not speak, but simply pointed his finger in mid-air.
Azure fluorescence emanated from fingertips, converging in the air to form blue characters.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Ella found this scene somewhat familiar; wasn't this how she communicated with other players in the arena?
