After a while, Shien and Rosie finally calmed down.
At this time, Rosie finally revealed the reason why she called Shien over.
"The meeting later will be very complicated, you have to be careful."
Rosie suddenly blurted out these words without any rhyme or reason.
"What's wrong?"
Shien was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Rosie immediately explained to Shien.
"This time, not only will my father, my sister, and members of the royal family be present, but almost all of the nobles in the capital will be present as well. Even the nobles who are not from the capital will be present. In addition, all of the Knights of the Imperial Guard will be present. The line-up will be as large as the annual Qing Kingdom Ceremony."
Rosie's words shocked Shien.
"Why is the lineup so big?"
Shien was very surprised.
Rosie was not surprised and continued to explain to Shien.
"That's because the large-scale assassination ten years ago had such a huge impact." Rosie said solemnly, "You were not involved, so you don't know. That day, it was a nightmare for the entire capital."
"Hundreds and thousands of Old Demons sneaked into the capital, each with a mission to assassinate a specific target."
"Overnight, the capital fell into chaos. There were casualties in every noble family, and the first to die must be an important person in the family. The first to die was the head of the family, followed by the next strong contender for the position of the head of the family."
"Under such circumstances, some nobles' entire families were killed without a single survivor. Some also suffered heavy casualties. Even if they were lucky enough to escape and discover the attack, in order to defend against the Old Demons, the knights and personal guards of the families also had to pay a heavy price."
"In the end, even the nobles who had the ability to protect themselves in such chaos couldn't be relieved. Because after the attackers sent by the Old Demon Race confirmed that they couldn't complete their mission, they rushed to the streets and cast powerful magic, dragging a large number of civilians into it."
At this point, Rosie's tone became very cold and angry.
Shien also frowned and stopped joking.
Shien had always known that the large-scale assassination ten years ago was a big event, but even if he knew, he did not feel it was real and did not know how big it was.
Now, Shien more or less understood. At least from Rosie's oral description, he could imagine how chaotic, panicked and dark the capital was at that time.
But Rosie was not finished.
"Not only the local nobles in the capital, but the nobles from other territories in the capital were also killed. The knights were also targeted, and the palace was also invaded." Rosie let out a breath and said, "After that, although we went through a night of fighting and killed more than 90% of the old demon faction, the three masterminds at that time still managed to escape. Even the important items that were sealed in the palace were stolen."
As she said, Rosie glanced at Shien.
Shien knew that Rosie was referring to Lésia.
However, before Rosie mentioned Lésia, Shien spoke first.
"Are you all alright?"
Shien could not help but ask.
Ten years ago, not only was Rosie still young, but Vivian, Tierre, Lily, and the others were also living in King's City.
And with their status and importance to the future of the kingdom, it was impossible that the Old Demons did not target them.
Thinking of this, although Shien knew that Rosie and the others were definitely fine, or else they would not be fine now, he could not help but ask.
"The few of us are fine." Rosie seemed to understand what Shien meant. She muttered to herself, "At least you have a conscience, you still care about me." Then, she said, "Although I was not as powerful as I am now, I had the Holy Sword and unique skills. Even if I was attacked, I could more or less deal with it. Tierre would also be fine with the Elbecine family. After all, there are powerful knights in that family. The Lazahad family was also fine because of Vivian's protection."
There was a lot of information in these words.
Firstly, it told Shien that Rosie, who was only seven years old at that time, was already able to deal with the attack of the Old Demons alone. She was much stronger.
Secondly, it also told Shien that Vivian, who was also seven years old at that time, could also protect the Lazahad family and keep them safe.
Aren't these two girls breaking the rules too much?
Rosie had the Holy Sword in hand. Even if she was only level 20 at that time, with the blessing of the Holy Sword, she could reach level 70. Coupled with her unique skills, it was not impossible for her to block the attack of the Old Demons.
But Vivian could also do this, and even had the strength to protect others. This was really unexpected to Shien.
Could this be related to the so-called "Guardian of the Kingdom" that Ai Yi mentioned before?
Shien pondered.
At the same time, Shien also guessed why this visit was so grand.
"It seems that you understand." Rosie nodded and said, "The incident ten years ago is closely related to more than half of the nobles in the Mithra Kingdom."
"Now, two of the masterminds have been suppressed by you, and the other one has contact with you. The rest of the Old Demons have been annihilated by you. They have no choice but to attend such a big event."
"Moreover, they must confirm the death of their enemy. Otherwise, this will be a knot in the hearts of all the nobles, and a stain on more than half of the nobles in the Mithra Kingdom."
"In addition, one of the masterminds was once under the command of the Demons, a subordinate of a cadre under the command of the Demon Dragon. The Demons also attach great importance to this matter, so the cadre of the Demon Dragon will attend this visit."
In this way, the line-up could only be bigger, and it couldn't be any smaller.
This made Shien finally understand why a visit needed more than a week of preparation before it could be carried out.
It seemed that this was all to inform all parties involved and wait for them to attend.
Moreover, there were so many people, and each of them had their own standpoint and thoughts. When the time came, it was easy to imagine how complicated the situation would be.
"Some people have been looking for the murderer because their loved ones were killed, hoping to get revenge, but there has been no progress for a whole ten years. In the end, it was solved by an unknown new adventurer like you. They may doubt or even not believe it."
"Some people want to use this occasion to put pressure on the Demons and make them take responsibility. At that time, you, the central figure who solved the matter, will also be involved."
"Some people may think that you are a helper of the Demons, and in order to eliminate the impact of this incident on the Demons, you directed and acted on your own. At first glance, it seems that the culprits have been suppressed, but in fact, it is very likely to be fake news."
"Some people will constantly observe the situation, trying to find something beneficial for themselves from this incident, and strive for enough benefits."
"With all these ideas intertwined, do you think it won't be complicated?"
"And as the central figure of this incident, how can you not be involved?"
"I just want to give you this reminder."
After listening to Rosie's explanation, the corner of Shien's mouth twitched, and his face was full of displeasure.
Previously, he had acted rashly because he was unhappy with the behavior of Baylon and the others. In the end, when he came to the capital this time, he actually had to be involved in the intrigue of these nobles?
These people really had nothing better to do after eating their fill.
