The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

Georgeson looked anxious, and behind him followed a fully armed guy who looked like a member of the Knights. The guy had a long sword on his waist and a crescent-shaped pendant on his chest. Sharduo thought the pendant looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Your Highness, are you in there?"

There was a knock on the door, but Sharduo felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether she should open the door for Georgeson. If Queen Celica's death was due to the existence of an insider, then Georgeson was probably the biggest suspect.

Should the door be opened?

Seeing no response from the room, Georgeson knocked on the door several times, the frequency gradually increasing. The old man seemed very anxious. He pushed the door very quickly and found that it was locked, as if he was sure that there was someone inside:

"Your Highness, we have to leave! It was Leon's men who attacked the church. They brought the Federation's [Blade of Babel] with them. We must evacuate immediately! Her Highness the Queen is dead, and we can't lose you now! Open the door quickly!"

[Blade of Babel]? Sharduo seemed to have heard of this term. They seemed to be the agents of the Federation and the top fighters of the Federation. It was said that during the Academy War, it was the [Blade of Babel] that finally killed the [Attack King].

If that sniper is the [Blade of Babel], then they should immediately—

"Open the door."

When Sharduo came to her senses, she found that Ashlia was looking at her. Her golden eyes were full of calmness, as if she had turned back into the princess she used to be.

"Your Highness..."

"Mom is gone... I have to take responsibility," Ashlia's eyes flashed with sadness, "Old Georgeson will not betray us, open the door... Sharduo, we should go."

"OK..."

After hearing Ashilia's order, Sharduo opened the door. The moment he saw the door open, Georgeson's face immediately relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted. He looked at Ashilia and bowed in great pain:

"Your Highness... The Queen's death was my fault... I am willing to bear any consequences, but now... we..."

"Let's go, old Georgeson," Ashlia ordered calmly, "take us to safety."

"I understand..." Georgeson nodded and motioned the knight beside him to come forward, "Escort Her Royal Highness the Princess. We will leave in a carriage."

The knight nodded, walked past Sharduo and headed towards Ashlia.

However, at the moment of passing each other, Sharduo saw the pendant on the knight's chest again.

And this time, she seemed to remember where she had seen the pendant.

At that meeting, the lackeys of the [Sharp Knife Lion] family wore such a pendant.

That is not a crescent moon, but a lion's tooth.

Adrenaline burst out instantly, and Sharduo realized who the traitor was in an instant. Taking advantage of the knight's back to her, Sharduo stabbed out the dagger in her hand, piercing the knight's waist through the gap in the armor -

"Ahhhhh!!"

The knight fell to the ground in pain. Sharduo jumped directly onto the knight's back, hugged his neck, and then stabbed her dagger into the knight's throat again and again.

"Your Highness! Georgeson is a traitor! Run!"

Amid the knight's screams, Sharduo shouted at the stunned Ashlia. But before she could finish her shout, a big hand grabbed her neck and fiercely pulled her off the knight's body - and threw her away -

"Ugh!"

Sharduo fell against the wall in pain, and when her vision recovered, she saw Georgeson approaching Ashlia step by step.

"Princess, please come with me," Georgeson yelled, grabbing Eshilia's arm fiercely, "You must come with me. If you don't obey, the kingdom will--"

"Go to hell!!"

Sharduo got up, roared and rushed towards Georgeson, stabbing with a dagger, but Georgeson slapped her hard in the face and knocked her to the ground.

"Ugh!"

"Get out of here, you lowly cupbearer!" Georgeson yelled at the fallen Sharduo, "You don't know Leon's methods, so stay out of my way, or you'll die!"

"Georgeson..." Ashilia murmured in a low voice. She looked at Georgeson, then at Sharduo who had fallen to the ground, "Why...why...?"

"The kingdom has already lost! Your Highness!" Georgeson roared at Sharduo, "Queen Celica will only lead us to destruction! If she refuses to expand, we will all die in the big cage! We need a new leader. As long as you can join Leon and rely on his power, the kingdom will definitely-"

“Go to hell!!”

Before Georgeson finished speaking, Sharduo had already stood up from the ground and rushed towards Georgeson for the third time. Georgeson reacted quickly and kicked Sharduo to the ground. This time, he directly pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed at Sharduo's head.

"I'm warning you, waiter," Georgeson's expression became a little crazy, "If you dare to move again... I swear... I will shoot..."

"But... Georgeson..." Ashlia still stared blankly at the old general who had served the [Attack King], "If... if mom died... then how could the kingdom..."

"We still have you, Your Highness!" Georgeson shouted at Ashlia, "As long as you can submit to Godfather Leon, we will definitely make the kingdom rise! Believe me, as long as you——"

"Shut up, you old bastard!"

Georgeson pointed the gun at Sharduo suddenly. She had stood up, her golden eyes full of anger. The dagger was still in her hand, shaking.

"You lowly servant..." Georgeson roared, "Didn't I tell you that if you..."

"You dog! Stop talking about righteousness! You just want His Highness to become your puppet!" Sharduo roared, approaching Georgeson, "Your Highness the Queen... You killed Her Highness the Queen... You..."

"Her Royal Highness will die sooner or later! She can't possibly defeat Leon's army!" Georgeson yelled, "I told her... La Vatino needs strong changes... We need to expand! We need to annex! Instead of living in a cage like now! We need the power of the Sharp Knife Lion, but she wants to be an enemy of Godfather Leon. She is a-"

“Go to hell!!”

Facing the black muzzle of Georgeson's gun, Sharduo still rushed towards Georgeson without hesitation. She grabbed the dagger in her hand tightly, intending to stab the damn old bastard to death with just one blow.

It was his betrayal that killed Queen Celica, it was his betrayal... and yet he still wanted to turn Her Royal Highness into Leon's puppet, a toy that he could play with at will...

Sharduo will not let him succeed, even if she dies.

For a moment, time seemed to slow down. Shardo watched Georgeson slowly pull the trigger. She could almost see the firing pin of the pistol move—activating the gunpowder—and firing the bullet.

At this moment, a figure pounced on him——

"Sardo!!"

"Bam—"

Blood splattered and Sharduo's pupils widened suddenly - at the moment the gunpowder burst out, Ashlia rushed in front of her from behind Georgeson and blocked the bullet.

The princess's right shoulder was covered in blood. She smiled weakly at Sharduo, then fell to the ground, her body trembling slightly.

"Your Highness the Princess!!"

Georgeson seemed to be shocked by what he had done. Taking advantage of his brief distraction, Sharduo gritted her teeth, rushed forward, and stabbed Georgeson with the dagger in her hand.

"Ughhhhh!!"

The sharp dagger pierced Georgeson's knee, and he fell to the ground with a cry of pain, clutching his knee and screaming. Taking advantage of his inability to move, Sharduo picked up Ashlia's body and ran away.

"Don't run!! You little bitch!! Leave her to me!!"

Just before Sharduo ran out of the door, Georgeson raised his pistol and aimed at her back. But just a moment later, the old general lowered the muzzle of the gun, as if he was enduring some piercing pain.

The next second, he pressed the infinite power button and let out a terrible roar:

"Klein! Ignite!"

......

fire.

Fire.

What a big fire.

Black smoke filled the air, and a raging fire began to burn. Explosions were heard from all parts of the church, spreading the fire everywhere. The fierce flames burned the white walls of the church into black, spreading like mold.

What a big fire.

When did they start preparing these?

Sharduo carried Ashiliya on her back and ran and walked through the corridor with great difficulty. The thick smoke caused by the burning fire made her breathless. She endured the suffocation in her lungs while carrying Ashiliya's weight and walked through the corridor with difficulty.

Why on earth…?

Why did Georgeson betray?

Why...Aishiliya...is bleeding?

Blood...lots of blood...

Scarlet blood flowed from Eshilia's shoulder, staining Sharduo's clothes red. The blood spread on Sharduo's body like a raging fire. She bathed in the blood of the princess and walked through the fire in the church.

how so...?

Is she dying? Is Eshlia... dying?

The fire blocked the road ahead again and again. Sharduo could only turn around in the corridor, trying to avoid the flames that would consume her sooner or later. But she knew that all this was just a last-ditch struggle, and she couldn't escape... She was almost dead...

As the black smoke grew thicker, Sharduo's steps became more and more staggering. Finally, after running out of energy, she fell to the ground, along with Ashilia, in the corridor that was burning with flames.

The heat wave hit her face, burning her forehead. Sharduo wanted to stand up, but she just coughed violently and had no strength at all.

The darkness in front of her eyes was getting darker and darker. The lack of physical strength caused by running for so long made Sharduo feel dizzy. She had no strength left and could only watch the flames getting closer and closer to her... closer and closer...

Interlude) How can a nameless person fail to live up to his reputation? (Part 3)

Dying?

Sharduo closed her eyes and prepared to face the coming death.

I'm sorry... Princess... I didn't protect you...

"Sha'er...Duo...cough cough..."

With a slight cough, Sharduo felt a small hand grabbing her collar. The hand was so weak and feeble, yet it made Sharduo feel extremely relieved.

Surrounded by flames, Ashlia used all her strength to break open a door on the corridor, and then dragged Sharduo in.

After that, Ashlia collapsed to the ground and didn't move.

Feeling the long-lost air surrounding her, Sharduo coughed violently a few times, and her vision gradually became clear. When she regained her sight, the first thing she saw was Ashilia, who was lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Your Highness the Princess!!"

Sharduo knelt down beside Ashilia in panic, propping her head up with her knees. She tore the princess's clothes without hesitation, and the shocking wound was revealed in front of her - the hollow-point bullet tore a huge wound on Ashilia's shoulder, and blood kept flowing out.

"Eshlia! Eshlia!"

Sharduo tightly grasped Eshilia's hand and yelled at the top of her lungs. Even in this overwhelming fire, the princess's hands had become cold, as if her soul was slipping away from her fingers along with her lost heat.

It's all my fault... Sharduo thought. The princess was shot while trying to protect me, it's all my fault.

Fire, a big fire, a very big fire.

"Wuwuwu...Your Highness..."

Looking at the dying Eshilia, Sharduo cried helplessly. She hugged Eshilia's upper body, as if she wanted to keep her alive in this world.

She is the cupbearer, but why...she is the one being protected...

The fire burned the door, and the sound of wood cracking became more and more frequent. It would not be long before the fire rushed into the room and burned everything.

Let's go together with Her Highness the Princess, and die here together.

At least, this way I can be completely free from this forest.

Sharduo closed her eyes and just hugged Ashlia, the princess whom she had not been with for long but whom she was extremely fascinated by.

At this moment, a very soft voice came from her ear:

"Sardo..."

Sharduo suddenly opened her eyes and met Ashlia's golden eyes. Those golden eyes were much brighter than her own, but they seemed a little empty and lifeless due to excessive blood loss.

"Your Highness..."

Sharduo stared at Eshilia in her arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. Seeing Sharduo like this, Eshilia smiled gently and wiped away her tears with a slightly trembling hand.

"very nice..."

"Your Highness, why are you..."

"I am the princess...you are my people...of course I have to protect you...little Sharduo..."

Ashlia wiped away Sharduo's tears with a smile. She was barely breathing, but the light in her golden eyes still fascinated Sharduo.

"Escape...Sardo..."

"Your Highness... I can't do it..." Sharduo cried and shook her head, "I don't want to... Please... let me be with you..."

Die with the princess? Sharduo suddenly choked up. She recalled the princess's flashing golden eyes on the train, and the hand that reached out to her in the alley.
