Shien's impolite words not only stunned the Stringham family, but also the female knights of the Broken Blade Knights.
"How dare you be rude to His Highness …!?"
One by one, the female knights pointed their weapons at Shien. Some of them even raised their hands, magic surging from their bodies, as if preparing to release magic.
"Stop!"
Capelin raised her hand, stopping the Broken Blade Knights.
"Your Highness!"
The group of female knights seemed to be somewhat unwilling. They did not understand why Capeline wanted to stop them.
But Capelin said coldly, "You are no match for him. He has ways to deal with you. Don't embarrass yourselves."
Capelin's words were met with a regretful expression from Shien.
"Actually, you can make a move on me." Shien pursed his lips and smiled. "After all, there weren't many spectators last time. This time, all the rough men of Duke Stringham's First Knight Regiment are here. Let them see something to be proud of. That's not bad, isn't it?"
Hearing Shien's words, the members of the First Knight Regiment looked at each other, not understanding a single word.
But the female knights of the Duanren Cavalry understood.
Something to be proud of?
What kind of place was that?
Obviously, it was the feminine bodies under their armor that were full of feminine charm.
With a snap of his fingers, Shien could destroy their armor and expose their bodies to the air.
"So, sisters, this time, will you wear more clothes underneath?"
Sean's seemingly kind words made the faces of the female knights of the Broken Blade Knights turn pale, and their hands holding their weapons began to tremble.
Especially the two female knights who had been stripped naked by Shien. Their faces were filled with fear.
The last time, Shien had seen them almost naked, and that had already left a shadow in their hearts. If they were to be seen naked in front of the eyes of the people of the Kingdom, a formidable enemy of the Empire, and these people were from Duke Stringham's First Knight Regiment who had been guarding the border for a long time, they would definitely commit suicide.
"Your … Your Highness …?"
At that moment, the female knights looked like they were about to cry. One by one, they looked at Capelin, completely at a loss of what to do.
Capelin continued to stare coldly at Shien.
"You can choose to hide it." Capelin said, "But we will treat this as the Kingdom hiding something from us. The Empire will also seriously suspect that the Kingdom is behind this incident."
Capelin tried to force Shien to give an explanation through diplomatic means.
But she obviously found the wrong person.
"What a joke. Didn't the empire always suspect that it was the kingdom's doing? That's why they sent you here to investigate?" Sean said disdainfully, "If you want to put it that way, then I can also say that your empire directed and acted this play to frame the kingdom."
"You're saying that we're framing you?" Capeline's eyes were filled with anger.
"Don't act like I'm slandering you." Sean endured the anger and said expressionlessly, "Everyone saw what happened ten years ago. It's not like your empire can't do such a thing. Are you still afraid of being slandered?"
But Shien endured this anger and said expressionlessly, "What happened ten years ago is obvious to all. It's not like the Empire can't do such things. Are you still afraid of being slandered?"
What Sean was referring to was naturally the large-scale assassination that took place in the capital ten years ago.
On the surface, others only knew that the tragedy that befell the Royal Capital was due to the invasion of the Old Demons Faction. Only some of the higher-ups knew that the Old Demons Faction was only able to invade the Royal Capital with the help of spies from the Empire.
Yes, Sean was referring to the incident with Tierre's mother.
Tierre's mother, Alidia's wife, was the daughter of a noble who married over from the Empire. In fact, the other party was a spy of the Empire.
Thanks to the spy, the boundary of the capital could not be activated in time, allowing the Old Demons to invade unscrupulously.
All of this was planned by the Empire's higher-ups.
However, after the incident, the Empire claimed that it was not their intention. It was the daughter of a noble who acted on her own. It was the other party who degenerated into a traitor who conspired with the Old Demons.
Under such circumstances, the Empire pushed the blame away, causing the kingdom to suffer such a huge loss.
Others might not know about this, but Capelin, as the princess of the Empire, definitely knew about it.
So …
"You've done the same thing once, so I'm advocating that you do it again. I think it's quite convincing, right?"
Shien smiled at Capelin, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Capelin had nothing to say.
It was because Capelin knew the inside story that she could not refute it.
If it were any other qualified politician, they would probably deny this matter with an innocent face, but Capelin could not.
Although Capelin was too persistent and stubborn, and also had a neurotic and sensitive side, she was a person of noble character and unquestionable integrity. She was open and aboveboard, brave and upright.
Otherwise, Capelin would not be called the Valkyrie.
Therefore, Capelin could not refute Shien's words.
Even though she was only seven years old when this happened, and it had nothing to do with her, it was indeed planned by the Empire's higher-ups. Capelin had to admit this.
However, Capelin could not admit it herself, or it would only bring big trouble to the Empire.
Therefore, Capelin fell into a state of speechlessness and could not respond.
As for Shien, he did not really intend to push this matter to Capelin and let her be the scapegoat.
However, he still wanted to stand up for Tierin.
In addition, Tierin did not get along well with his wife, so Shien did not want to give her any face at all.
"Anyway, I'll leave my words here. You'd better not go in." Shien said straightforwardly, "Of course, if you want to die, then it's none of my business."
It was because he had broken the seal of the Evil God Lilith that Shien wanted to remind them to not implicate the innocent.
However, if they did not listen to his advice, Shien would definitely not run over to protect them.
"Your lives are your own. Make your own choice."
After saying that, Shien did not care about the crowd anymore. He turned around and looked at the land of evil in front of him.
"Boztut."
"Minister Shien."
Yuri and Limcho looked like they wanted to say something.
However, Shien was no longer in the mood to tease them. He waved at them, then pulled out the holy sword at his waist and slowly walked into the evil.
Soon, Shien's figure disappeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this, everyone looked at each other.
"… Let's go. Follow him."
Capelin was silent for a while, then said without hesitation.
She would not be afraid just because of Shien's warning.
"Yes!"
The female knights also did not want to listen to Shien's advice, so they all responded loudly.
Of course, the First Knight Group was in the same situation.
"Trying to scare us? Do you really think you're somebody? "
Sona was dismissive of Shien's advice.
Yuri and Limcho did not say anything, but it was obvious that they did not want to believe Shien's words.
"Let's go in."
Urey gave the order as if nothing had happened.
The two knight groups followed the original plan. One opened a mobile barrier, while the other drank magic potions. Then, they majestically killed their way into the land of evil.
This would be the beginning of hell.
…
On the other side, as soon as Shien entered the evil, he immediately used a skill on himself.
"[Clear Mirror Still Water]."
This was the skill that Shien had obtained when he wanted to deal with Nyen's mind-reading ability.
Using this skill, which was used to get rid of his distracting thoughts and enter a state of no thoughts, Shien's spirit and heart immediately entered an extremely stable state.
With the help of this skill, the faintly fluctuating negative emotions in Shien's heart immediately calmed down.
"As expected, this skill is very effective against mental-type abilities."
Shien was relieved.
Because the max level of [Abnormal Status Resistance] did not seem to be enough to completely resist the authority of the evil god, Shien had to use other aspects of power to prevent himself from entering a state of mental disorder.
After all, Shien did not want to become a berserker who only knew how to bite people.
"Fortunately, this skill is useful. Otherwise, I would have to unlock the seal of the holy sword and use the power of the holy sword to get rid of the effects of the negative status."
Shien said to himself and began to walk forward.
In the evil aura, the visibility was very low. It could be said that he could not even see his fingers in front of him.
The evil aura was like a thick black fog, blocking more than 90% of his vision. It made Shien feel like he was blinded in the dark.
"[Fu Yu: Clairvoyance]."
Shien could not help but use magic to add the ability of clairvoyance to his eyes.
This ability allowed Shien's vision to pass through all kinds of obstacles. Not to mention the black fog, even walls could not block his vision.
Thinking back, this was one of the first spells that Shien learned.
As for the reason … Ahem, everyone knew.
Because this kind of magic with clear criminal intent was generally strictly forbidden by the various countries, Shien usually did not dare to use it in front of others.
But now, Shien wanted to use this magic on the right path. Moreover, there was no one around, so there was no need to be sneaky.
So, Shien's vision finally passed through the black fog and could clearly see the scene in the evil aura.
However, with this look, Shien could not help but change his expression.
He discovered that there were actually quite a few black shadows silently moving towards his direction.
Under such circumstances, Shien's perception-type skills did not react at all.
"Perception-Type skills are being interfered with by the evil aura and can't be used?"
Shien immediately understood the reason.
At the same time, the few figures also decisively pounced over.
