As the last dinner, the banquet was very sumptuous. Not only was the King present, but all the nobles who came to the banquet, both men and women, were dressed in fine clothes. It did not look like they were having their last meal, but more like they were attending a grand ceremony.
Of course, the red ponytail did not care about that. She just wanted to enjoy the food and drink.
By the way, where did Louise go? It seemed that the man just now had gone to talk to her. The red ponytail was not very worried. After all, the roast chicken in front of her … was pretty good.
"Does it suit your taste?"
The Prince of Wales also came over at that moment. He looked at the red ponytail who was eating and drinking, and could not help but smile.
"Not bad. This roast chicken is quite flavorful. This chef has a bright future."
"Since you say so, the chef has no regrets."
"You're welcome."
The red ponytail tore off a piece of chicken thigh and stuffed it into her mouth. She then took a sip of wine and looked at the Prince.
"Your Highness, how do you plan to die a glorious death tomorrow?"
"Are you interested in that?"
"To be honest, I'm quite curious. Is there a taboo against suicide in your country?"
"Hahahaha, indeed, the royal family does not allow suicide, and my father and I don't intend to end our own lives just like that."
Wales laughed when he heard the red ponytail's reply, which would normally be considered disrespectful.
"There's nothing to hide. This is the last glory of our royal family, the last symbol. Those traitors want to decorate their glory with this place and our corpses, but we will never allow that. Even if they win in the end, we'll show them the ambition of the royal family. After all … "
At this point, Wales smiled bitterly.
"We have nothing to protect but our glory now."
"You want to teach them a lesson … Then wait, hmm … Let me see."
The red ponytail put down the half-eaten chicken leg with one hand, then rummaged through her inventory. She took out a black object about the size of an ostrich egg.
"This is for you."
"What's this?"
"Void bomb."
"Void bomb …?"
"To put it simply, it accelerates particles instantaneously, then causes a violent collapse of space, resulting in an explosion.... Well, you won't understand even if I explain it to you. All you need to know is that with just a touch of this thing, the entire palace and everything around it will completely disappear. There's no pain, it's simple and convenient, and there's no need to worry about mistakes. How about it? I'll set a time for you. Once you throw it there, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Pretty simple, right? "
"Is there really such a magical tool?"
Wales looked curiously at the void bomb in Red Ponytail's hand.
"How come I've never heard of it …"
"Of course you haven't heard of me. This one and the one outside belong to me. If Louise hadn't summoned me as a familiar, you probably wouldn't have seen me for another five hundred years. To be honest, I don't have any opinion on this war. I don't care who's right and who's wrong between you and the aristocratic party, but Louise is Torristine's woman after all. Considering that those guys outside are likely to declare war on Torristine, I don't think it's out of line to help you, right? "
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Wales nodded.
"I was wondering whether it was the strange wyvern outside or the things in your hands, they don't seem to be products of this world. So that's how it is … It's a pity. If only you could appear in Albion."
"What do you think?"
Red Ponytail looked at Wales with a smile. She believed that Wales understood what she meant. After all, if Wales and the others died in battle, it would definitely not be the soldiers who came to check the bodies. In any case, he was the Crown Prince, and he had the King with him. If they really died, the people who came here to check the bodies would definitely be high-ranking members of the aristocratic party. If she could trick them at that time, the aristocratic party would definitely suffer a great loss. That way, the Prince of Wales and the others could get their revenge, and the aristocratic party might also temporarily suspend their war plans against Torristine because of the heavy losses.
"I'm willing to accept."
Without much thought, Wales quickly gave an answer.
"After all, at this point, we just want to show the other party our determination … Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Familiar."
"No problem. What time should we set the time?"
"Three o 'clock in the afternoon. I think the war should be over by then. The aristocrats should swagger over here to check and plunder their spoils … I think this is a good opportunity."
"You're quite insidious."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Red Ponytail fiddled with the void bomb in her hand, set the time, and threw it up.
The next moment, the ostrich egg-like object suddenly disintegrated, revealing a core shining with a soft light inside. At the same time, the metal shell formed a complex safety and began to rotate around the ball of light. Shimmering particles ejected from it and slowly covered the entire hall.
Seeing this dream-like scene, everyone at the banquet could not help but stop talking. Their eyes widened in surprise as they stared at the star-like brilliance in the banquet hall. They were speechless for a moment.
Even the Prince of Wales looked at the shining ball of light and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and looked at the red ponytail.
"To tell you the truth, Miss, I don't know who you are, but I believe that you must be the emissary sent by the great ancestor to send us on our last journey."
"You're not wrong to think so."
The red ponytail waved her hand. In fact, she was indeed an emissary.
Although she had nothing to do with the great ancestor.
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Wales smiled again and stood to his feet.
"Everyone, this is the last blessing that the great ancestor has given us! Our glory, our efforts are not in vain. The great ancestor is watching us! Let us welcome the final end in the name of the ancestor! "
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
Hearing the words of the Prince of Wales, the others also raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
The banquet was quite enjoyable. Everyone seemed to be very relaxed, and there was no sign of crying or screaming. Although the old king was old and had trouble walking, he was still very energetic as he greeted everyone. The red ponytail was in charge of eating and drinking, then patting her round belly and going back to the guest room to rest — although she could travel through the night, she had drunk a lot of wine.
If she was caught driving under the influence, she would be fined.
Just as the red ponytail was lying on the bed, scratching her belly and burping, she saw the door open, and Louise walked in as if she was sleepwalking.
"Yo, Louise, where have you been?"
The red ponytail greeted Louise, but Louise did not seem to hear her at all. She just walked to the bed and sat down without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Did you drink too much? "
"…"
Hearing the red ponytail's question, Louise looked at her slowly.
"Viscount Waludo proposed to me?"
"Now? He's really anxious. "
"I … I don't know …."
Louise was obviously at a loss. In fact, it was not easy for her to accept the fact that the crown prince and the others were going to die in battle. Seeing how the people at the banquet were facing their impending death so openly, she could not understand it at all. Under such circumstances, Waludo actually proposed to her. This made Louise's head feel like it was in hyperthreading. It was a complete mess, and she could not process it at all.
"So, did you say yes?"
"I think I … said yes."
"What do you mean? You're not drunk yet, are you? "
"No, no, no, I don't know …."
Louise shook her head desperately. In fact, she felt like she was in a dream. At that time, she had agreed in a daze, but now …
"I feel … a little uneasy."
"Uneasy?"
"Yes."
Seeing the red ponytail by her side, Louise seemed to gradually relax and nodded.
"I've known Viscount Waludo since I was very young. I used to be scolded by my family because I couldn't master magic well. Only Viscount Waludo has always cared about me, and I like him very much. So when my father said that we're engaged, I was very happy. But this time … I don't know why, I'm not happy at all …."
Louise still clearly remembered how she felt when she first heard the news of the engagement. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep for the whole night. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. When she thought that she would one day marry Waludo, Louise's heart was filled with indescribable happiness.
But just now, her dream had clearly come true, but Louise was not happy at all. On the contrary, after agreeing to Viscount Waludo's proposal, she felt an indescribable fear, as if she had become a beast in a trap, waiting in despair for the hunter to reel in the net ….
"This feeling …."
After listening to Louise's story, the red ponytail stroked her own hair.
"Well, superhumans do have a certain degree of enhanced intuition. Since you feel danger, it means that your subconscious may have sensed something. You see, it's the so-called 'female sixth sense'. It's normal for superhumans to sense danger after their abilities have improved."
"But where is the danger coming from? Is Viscount Waludo going to harm me? "
"I'm not sure about that."
The red ponytail shrugged.
"Anyway, you're getting married tomorrow, right? We'll see what happens at the wedding."
