"Waaah …"
Louise's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the scenery outside. This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene in her life. Below was a vast sea of clouds, and above was a blue sky. The rising sun in the distance sprinkled golden light down, making the place look like a fairyland on earth.
"Clouds! So that's what the clouds look like!"
"What do you think? Isn't it beautiful? "
"Yeah, it's so beautiful. Even Griffins can't fly this high!"
Hearing Red Ponytail's question, Louise nodded desperately, and Red Ponytail chuckled. What a joke, VF-19 was specifically designed to enhance the effectiveness of combat within the atmosphere. Ten thousand meters was like child's play to it. At this height, ordinary creatures would either die of oxygen deprivation or freeze to death. Even the dragons of this world could not fly so high.
After all, this was a low-magic world.
"Saber, what's above?"
"Well … guess?"
"Is our world also a big ball? I heard that the great ancestors protected our world … "
"Haha … Take a guess …" Sheyan laughed.
The red ponytail could not help but smile bitterly when she heard Louise's question. To be honest, if this was any other world, she would have nodded. But not here, because the red ponytail had already seen the true face of this world from the satellite scan cloud map on Iona's side.
In fact, it was just as Amelia and Parker had said, it was a huge plate!
It should be said that the third coordinate looked like a round bubble wrapped in Chaos, and below the bubble was the Sea of Chaos that Lina Imbas once mentioned. Then, five long pillars protruded from the Sea of Chaos, holding five super large plates, which were the five continents of this coordinate point.
The continents that Lina 'inbas and Amelia were on were on the plate in the middle, while Louise's world was on the plate on the right.
The first two coordinates, whether it was Codori's world or Eva's world, still followed the common sense of physics. This damned place had long since lost its logic. It was simply absurd …
Of course, if Fangzheng guessed correctly, the so-called "pillars" did not really serve as a support. After all, there was no gravity in space. On the contrary, the pillars acted as a barrier to separate these continents from the Sea of Chaos. After all, if they fell into the Sea of Chaos, they would all be finished.
Currently, Iona and the rest were hovering in the sky, analyzing the data of Chaos Ocean and the five continents. Fangzheng did not let them get too close to Chaos Ocean. After all, it was rumored that the Golden Nightmare King was in Chaos Ocean. It would be troublesome if she was alarmed.
Louise was just asking casually. She didn't pursue the matter even if she didn't get an answer. Instead, she continued to look outside excitedly at the sea of clouds and the land beneath them, exclaiming from time to time.
"I know that side!"
"Ah, it's Grundt. I didn't expect us to arrive here so quickly. It would take at least a day to get here on horseback!"
It was natural for humans to yearn for flight, and Louise was no exception. However, the people in this world could not fly. In Lina Impeth's world, all high-level magicians could fly. Lina Impeth could fly, and so could the clown. In fact, in that world, the ability to fly itself represented a magician's level. If you saw a magician who could fly, you would immediately surrender without hesitation.
Because those who could fly were all ruthless people.
But in this world, people could not fly no matter how hard they tried. They could only fly by taming flying animals such as griffins and wyverns, and they could only fly up to a height of about a few hundred meters.
It was probably unprecedented for someone to fly directly to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.
"Okay, Albion is up ahead."
However, Red Ponytail's next words still surprised Louise.
"We're here already?"
"What else did you think?"
"This …"
Faced with Red Ponytail's rhetorical question, Louise didn't know what to say for a while. Indeed, from what she had seen just now, this strange big bird was very fast, but because it was so high, Louise didn't even have a concept of speed. She just watched the ground below move slowly, and did not expect that they would fly hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.
"That's it …"
At this moment, Red Ponytail also turned on the screen and brought up the reconnaissance image in front of them. She could see that Albion was an island floating in the air — which was normal. There were always these illogical things in the world of magic.
Wasn't this the world of Codori and the others?
But the problem at the moment was not the floating island, but the situation on the floating island. Dozens of warships flying in the air were bombarding the palace. Of course, there were no signs of breaking through the defense so far.
But looking at the situation, it was only a matter of time.
"What should we do? SABER？”
Seeing this, Louise also became nervous. She also knew about the situation in Albion. Now that the noble coalition had surrounded the palace, how long the battle could last depended entirely on how long the royal family could hold on. Under such circumstances, how were they going to get in and contact the Prince of Wales?
However, the solution given by Red Ponytail was quite simple.
"Let's just charge in."
Having said that, Red Ponytail pulled the joystick. The fighter suddenly did a 180-degree turn in the air, then quickly dived down toward the palace surrounded by the fleet.
Soon, the fleet surrounding the palace and the palace guards surrounded by the fleet all noticed the strange thing that fell from the sky.
What was that?
Raising the monocular in his hand, the fleet commander frowned. He had never seen such a thing before. Apart from warships, only Wyverns could fly in the sky. But this thing did not look like a Wyvern, and there was no human on it. Its wings were also strange and did not flap at all.
So how on earth did this thing fly?
This question only ran through the commander's mind for a moment before he threw it to the back of his mind. These questions were things for the alchemist to consider. He only needed to fulfill his duty as a soldier.
"Fire warning! Ask the enemy to identify themselves! At the same time, prepare to attack and stop … "
However, before the commander could finish his order, his vision blurred. The next moment, the strange red monster flew over their heads.
So fast?!
Seeing this scene, the commander was shocked. But before he could react, accompanied by a violent whistling sound, a belated gust of wind blew everyone on the deck.
"That monster is coming!"
At this moment, seeing the fighter suddenly flying towards the palace, the soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly. They raised their weapons in despair, but the fighter had already flown over the city wall and rushed into the palace. Seeing this scene, many soldiers even despaired. They all thought that this must be some kind of new weapon of the noble army, and now, they had broken through the last line of defense!
"It's coming!!"
Seeing the fighter rushing in front of them, the others also shouted and dodged. However, to everyone's surprise, just as the strange thing was about to hit the palace, it suddenly turned around and turned into a huge monster that looked like a magic doll. Then, a violent airflow spurted out from under the monster's feet and instantly stopped in the square hall in front of the palace.
Then, the hatch opened, and the red ponytail walked out with a frightened Louise.
"You almost scared me to death, Saber!"
Louise looked like she had just survived a disaster. When the red ponytail piloted the fighter just now, she thought that the strange thing had gone out of control. She was almost scared to death!
"Aren't we in a hurry?"
The red ponytail curled her lips and looked around. At this moment, she saw two girls coming down from the ship. The others also approached cautiously.
"We are messengers from Torristine. We have business with the Prince of Wales. Is he home?"
"You're not from the noble faction?"
Hearing the red ponytail's question, an old noble stood up and asked. Louise also hurriedly answered.
"We are messengers from Torristine. We have something very important to discuss with the Prince of Wales. As she spoke, Louise raised the red gemstone ring on her right hand.
"This is the token!"
"That is indeed the Ring of Water."
At this moment, a blond young man came out. Seeing his appearance, the people around him became a little restless, but the other party just waved his hand and went to Louise.
"The one on your hand is Angelietta's Ring of Water, right?"
"Yes."
"Then look carefully."
As he spoke, the young man stretched out his hand, took off the ring he was wearing, and brought it closer to Louise's ring. Soon, the two gems began to resonate, flashing a rainbow-like brilliance.
"This is the Ring of Wind passed down from the Royal Family of Albion. Water and wind form a rainbow. This is the bridge of communication between the royal family."
"My apologies, Your Highness!"
After confirming the identity of the other party, Louise hurriedly knelt down to salute, and the red ponytail nodded at him.
"Alright, it's not a good idea to talk here …."
Having said that, the Prince of Wales glanced at the huge robot behind the red ponytail with interest, then turned around.
"Come with me, let's talk inside."
Hearing this, Louise hurriedly got up and followed. The red ponytail took two steps, then suddenly thought of something. She ran to the side of the fighter and kicked it. Then, the magazine on her leg opened, and a shivering, dazed guy rolled out.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mages are indeed different from ordinary people."
Looking at the half-dead Waludo, the red ponytail shrugged her shoulders, then walked away while humming a little tune.
As for Waludo's life or death, what did it have to do with her?
It's not like she didn't remind him before.
After that, Wales received Louise and the red ponytail in his room, as well as Waludo, who had just recovered and was still shivering.
"Is that so … Angelietta is getting married …."
After reading the letter, Wales let out a long sigh. Then, he walked to the desk next to him, opened the drawer, took out a box from inside, opened it with a key, and took out another letter. He looked at the letter affectionately, opened it, and read it again slowly. Then, he closed it, put it in the envelope, and handed it to Louise.
"This is the letter that the princess once sent to me. I have returned it to you."
"Thank you very much."
Louise bowed her head respectfully and took the letter from him.
"I didn't expect to see news of Angelietta before I was defeated. That's not bad, right?"
"Your Highness …."
Hearing the Prince of Wales muttering to himself, Louise could not help but ask.
"You just said it was a glorious defeat. Is there no possibility of victory?"
"Haha."
Wales smiled slightly.
"The enemy is fifty thousand, and we have three hundred. The outcome is already decided. All we can do is let those guys see us die bravely in battle."
"Is your sacrifice the same?"
"Yes."
"… Your Highness."
Hearing this, Louise seemed to have made up her mind.
"Please forgive me for my rudeness, but I want to ask about this letter … The letter you just gave me … is it a love letter?"
"It's a love letter."
Perhaps because he was about to die, the Prince of Wales did not hesitate.
"It's exactly as you think. In fact, in this letter, Angelietta also swore to love me forever in the name of the ancestors … You also know that swearing to love in the name of the ancestors can only be done at the time of marriage. If this letter is exposed, then she will commit the crime of bigamy … You should know very well what the consequences will be. "
Oh, that's interesting.
Hearing this, Red Ponytail was somewhat surprised. She had only guessed that it was an ordinary love letter, or at most something private. She did not expect that this love letter was actually a marriage certificate?
In other words, if Angelietta married that emperor, it would be considered a second marriage?
Whoa, if the king knew, he would be furious.
No wonder that green tea princess looked as if her own mother had died.
"In short, Her Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince fell in love!"
"That's in the past."
"Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Louise could not help but feel excited.
"Your Highness, please escape, escape to Torristine! Please come back to Torristine with us! We have Saber's mount. As you can see, it's very fast. It can definitely take you away safely!! "
"That won't do."
However, in the face of Louise's request, Wales smiled and shook his head. But Louise obviously would not give up so easily.
"Your Highness, this is not my request, but Her Highness the Princess's. Didn't Her Highness write it in that letter? I believe that Her Royal Highness would never stand by and watch someone she loves die! "
Upon hearing this, Wales shook his head.
"In fact, she didn't write it."
"Your Highness!!"
"I say, Louise, that's enough."
At this moment, Red Ponytail finally could not stand it anymore and interrupted Louise.
"Do you have a grudge against the Princess? Or do you have a grudge against the crown prince? "
"What are you talking about? Saber, I want the Crown Prince to escape! "
"Well, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Consequences …?"
"That's right. As the Crown Prince of Albion, if he escapes to Torristine, wouldn't it give the nobles an excuse to attack Torristine? Why do you think Princess Anlietta married the Emperor? Isn't it to form an alliance with him to prevent the attack of the noble army of Albion? You're just giving them an excuse. "
"This …"
"Also, if the crown prince really goes to Torristine, he will definitely have to conceal his identity, and he will not be able to reveal his true identity. Even if he succeeds, what about in the future? "
"In the future?"
"That's right. They love each other, don't they? But the Crown Prince is already dead, and Anlietta certainly can't marry a dead man, so she must marry someone else. Then you want the Crown Prince to watch his lover be with another man? Or you want Anlietta to be watched by her lover while in the arms of another man? Do you have such an interest? "
"How could I have such a bad interest!"
"That's why."
The red ponytail spread her hands.
"Besides, the Crown Prince has already made his decision. Let's respect his decision."
"…"
This time, the speechless Louise lowered her head and said nothing, while the Prince of Wales showed a gentle smile.
"Indeed, as this lady said, this is my decision. Anlietta is also a member of the royal family. She will not put her personal feelings before national affairs. You're an upright person, Miss Valiel, but … an upright person can't be an ambassador. "
In the end, the dejected Louise and the red ponytail left the room. The red ponytail originally wanted to pack up and go home for dinner, but the Prince of Wales invited them to stay to attend the last dinner of the ruler of the kingdom. Considering that a man was about to die, the red ponytail did not refuse.
However, Waludo did not leave with them.
"Is there anything else, Viscount? Your Highness? "
"Yes, I have a favor to ask of Your Highness."
Waludo lowered his head as he spoke.
"In fact, I'm planning to propose to Louise tonight … I hope Your Highness can be our matchmaker and hold a wedding for us."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the Prince of Wales was slightly taken aback, but he readily agreed.
"No problem. This is also a very romantic development. Blessing couples is also the job of the royal family. I'm very happy to have such an opportunity before we perish. Then, tomorrow before the final battle, I will hold a wedding for both of you. "
"I'll be grateful."
