In the middle of the night, the palace was still heavily guarded.
A figure was sneaking around the palace slowly and fearfully … Iben, the real Iben.
He touched the back of his neck and felt that it was very painful. He had forgotten what had happened. He only knew that when he woke up, he found himself hiding in a large water tank. The fake princess and the other two fellows who had sneaked into the palace with him were gone.
What had happened?
Iben was in a state of complete isolation, but he vaguely felt that he had missed a lot of things — especially since the palace was so heavily guarded.
Fortunately, he was wearing a guard's uniform.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a deep shout came from behind him … Iben was startled and his body stiffened. He swallowed his saliva and slowly turned around.
He saw a group of six palace guards approaching with weapons in hand. They happened to be patrolling the area and saw Ibben sneaking around.
This Iben was quick-witted. He put his hands on his belt and pretended to be tying it. He also put on a bowing smile on his face.
The patrolling guards frowned when they saw him. The leader even said angrily, "Are you crazy? This is the palace! "
"Too hasty, too hasty … I have no choice, brother." Iben looked aggrieved, "You see, I haven't rested all night … Can you make an exception?"
"Humph!"
However, the leader of this group of patrolling guards did not believe him. He immediately waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Now, the guards patrolling the palace are in groups of six. Yet, you are here alone and acting so sneakily … I suspect that you are also a giant beast in disguise! Catch him! "
As soon as the leader of the guards pulled out his sword, the other five guards also pulled out their weapons!
"Don't come over —!" Seeing this, Ibn knew that he wouldn't be able to let this go so easily. He clenched his teeth and imitated the guards. He placed his hand on his waist and prepared for a life and death struggle … Well, he didn't have a weapon on his waist!
"Catch him!" The leader waved his hand!
The five guards rushed toward Iben! Iben was scared out of his wits. He turned around and ran away … But he was not familiar with the palace. After a while, he turned into a dead-end.
Ibn was startled and gritted his teeth. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. He desperately climbed up the wall and before the guards behind him could catch up, he flipped over the wall.
The guards hurriedly stopped outside the wall with a strange look on their faces … The leader's face was ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat.
"This is …" A guard looked at the leader hesitantly, "The former Queen's residence … Us?"
"Damn it!" The leader gritted his teeth, "Chase him! We are chasing a criminal! Don't be afraid … You go in first! "
The subordinates, "…"
They still went in … from other places, they walked into this palace with many rumors in fear. It was said that the former Queen did not just die here, but her resentful spirit did not disappear after her death and stayed in this palace.
…
…
Iben didn't do a good job when he climbed over the wall. Of course, he decided not to do it again. Even though the consequence of this was that he fell in a very indecent way and it was very painful!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch …"
Grabbing his waist, Iben crawled up in a sorry state. He scanned his surroundings and found that there were no lights. Not only was it not as bright as the palace at night, but it was also unexpectedly filled with an icy cold feeling.
He shivered subconsciously and quickly put his ear to the wall to listen to the movements of the palace guards outside the wall.
After a while, when he heard the sound of hurrying away, Iben was slightly relieved.
"What is this place?"
However, the surroundings were too dark, and he couldn't see the road clearly. He could only feel his way forward … Darkness always made people fall into an atmosphere of fear. As Iben walked, he felt a chill in his heart. He felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him from behind.
He looked back several times and seemed to see a strange shadow floating in front of him. Iben was shocked and scared. He didn't know where he was in this dark palace … He was completely lost!
At this moment, there was a flash of fire in front of him. Iben was overjoyed and hurriedly walked toward the light source. Unexpectedly, he met the leader and his subordinates who had been chasing him all the way.
Iben cursed his bad luck. Seeing that the six guards seemed to have discovered him at this time and were desperately running toward him, Iben couldn't help but sigh. He simply stopped running and let these guys catch him.
It was not because he couldn't outrun these guards, but because he had been seen by the guards anyway. This Sun City was located in the desert, and there were giant beasts around. There was no possibility of escaping. Sooner or later, he would be caught … Instead of hiding everywhere, it was better to eat a few months in prison!
The price of real estate in this Sun City was ridiculously high. Young people simply couldn't survive. In today's Sun City, the only way out for young people was to go to prison! They didn't have to pay for food, they had a place to sleep, and their friends in prison were nice to hear!
"Brothers! I was wrong! I surrender! I am willing to go to prison … Can you give me a better cell? Wow, you don't have to welcome me so warmly right? "
The six guards didn't intend to stop at this time. They crazily ran to Iben and even pushed him away … with a look of horror!
"What happened …" After being pushed away, Iben fell to the ground and rubbed the painful place. He hurriedly got up and suddenly gasped, "!!!"
He suddenly understood what these guards were afraid of just now!
What appeared in front of him was a tall figure … grey, furry, with huge fangs and scarlet eyes, and … a face like an evil ghost!
In the darkness, when such a terrible thing suddenly appeared in front of him, Iben instinctively blacked out … But in an instant, he was so scared that he directly fell down.
Plop —!
That strange thing, at this time, looked down at Iben who was lying motionless on the ground. After a while, seeing that Iben still didn't respond, it simply bent down and stretched out its hand, directly grabbing Iben's ankle and slowly dragging him into the deeper part of the palace.
…
After the six guards hurriedly ran out of the place where the former Queen lived, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were still full of fear.
"I already said … it's really fierce inside! You see, for so many years, not many people are willing to go in. Not to mention the Pharaoh himself, even the maids are not willing to come in to clean … "
"What … what should we do now? Will the vengeful spirit of the Empress come after us … We have violated her resting place. "
At this time, the head of the guards at this time said in a deep voice, "Listen to me, no one is allowed to speak of what happened tonight … If anyone speaks of it, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
As he said this, the head of the guards suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and fiercely chopped at the tree beside the road. The saber cut into the trunk in an instant … It was not shallow at all!
The guards immediately nodded their heads and kept their mouths shut. After all, this was the former Empress' former residence. The Pharaoh had already given the order that no one was allowed to enter without his permission … Previously, they were only here to capture the person and gain merit. After capturing the person, they only planned to say that it was a suspected giant beast that they had caught outside!
"Strange … didn't the priests in the temple say that they had already seen this place and said that there was nothing here? Why is the former Queen's resentful spirit still here …"
"Shut up! I already said, no one is allowed to speak of this matter again … Do you see my saber here! "The head of the guards pointed at the saber that was still hanging on the tree trunk and said.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to say anything more. After that, the head of the guards then let the few of them split up and look around … to see if anyone would discover that they had sneaked into the former Queen's residence, while he stayed here and watched.
Actually, the saber that was chopped at the tree trunk … could not be pulled out.
He looked back at the dark palace behind him and felt that the darkness in front of him was like the mouth of a giant beast of unknown size, at this time, it was opening wide and was swallowing this palace.
Hmm … why can't I pull it out?
…
…
Claudia once again paced back and forth in the room of the real Princess Royal Highness. There were still white-robed guards outside the door, and there were twice as many of them as before.
Suddenly, the door opened and a maid walked in slowly with a tray … There was no food on the tray, only a flask of wine and a cup.
Just as Claudia was about to speak, her expression abruptly changed. This was because another person had walked in after the maid … The High Priest of the kingdom, the man who looked exactly like her father, and even had the same name as him!
The High Priest was still in his black robe, expressionless, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Claudia subconsciously took two steps back. After the maid put down the tray, she was directly called out by the High Priest … At this time, only Claudia and the High Priest were left in the room.
The High Priest did not say anything and only silently poured the contents of the flask into the cup, then placed it like this, the meaning was very clear … He wanted Claudia to drink the contents of the cup!
Claudia was shocked, but she forced a smile and said, "What … what is this?"
"It can make you forget a lot of troublesome things." The High Priestess clasped her hands in her wide sleeves. She didn't get close. She just said calmly, "Drink it, and you will have a completely different life … Very soon, you will not feel sad anymore. Come, drink it. "
The High Priest's eyes seemed to have an inconceivable magic, causing Claudia to feel a little dizzy … She felt that all of her thoughts and reactions had fallen into a swamp. She wanted to struggle, but the dizziness was getting stronger and stronger.
Claudia's throat swelled. By the time she reacted, she had already unknowingly walked to the front of the table. She had even raised the cup and was slowly bringing it to her mouth!
Claudia was shocked … She was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over her body. Her hand trembled and she knocked the cup over … Some light green liquid flowed out of the cup. Claudia felt terrified at this time and said with a trembling voice, "How could I be so careless … I am sorry High Priest, I have let you down. No … But I feel that I am actually quite happy now, I don't need to drink this kind of thing that can make me happy … Haha, haha, ah … Haha … "
She felt that she could not continue speaking and even wanted to turn around and run away … But reality did not allow this to happen!
However, the high priestess was not angry at all. She just silently picked up the cup, picked up the pot, and filled the cup with light green liquid again. "It's okay, there's still a lot here … If you accidentally knock these over, I still have a lot more … a lot more than enough."
This time, the high priestess directly placed the cup in front of Claudia. That feeling of dizziness struck Claudia once again. She subconsciously reached out her hand to receive it … Her hand was trembling, as though she was making a final struggle.
"Believe me, I will not hurt you … My Princess." The High Priest said softly.
The gentle voice instantly overlapped with the image of her father in Claudia's memories. In an instant, her last bit of rationality crumbled. Her hands finally stopped trembling. She received the cup steadily and was about to drink it.
The High Priest's eyes gradually became gentler … Suddenly, he froze!
Claudia who was about to drink the liquid in the cup suddenly threw the cup in her hand at the High Priest!
The liquid spilled out and splashed onto the High Priest's black robe, drenching it in an instant … The High Priest lowered his head to look at his robe and slowly exhaled. He glanced at Claudia.
Claudia's lips were dripping with blood at this time … Obviously, in order to sober herself up, she used the last bit of rationality to bite her lips fiercely.
"Drink something that will make people forget their happiness … I think this is the damn [Holy Water]!" Claudia threw caution to the wind at this time, although her face was pale, "I saw it with my own eyes, it was you … It was you who turned the real Princess Yamalana into a monster … It was you! This is not the [Holy Water] at all … This is clearly poison! "
"Do you think so?" The High Priest's expression still looked indifferent.
"What giant beast disguised as the princess to sneak into the palace and destroy the temple … This is all a lie!" Claudia screamed at this time, "I think, you … you are the real giant beast! You want to use the [Holy Water] to make everyone in the city become like Princess Yamalana … You, you are a demon! "
Facing Claudia's accusation, the High Priest opened his mouth and then showed a bitter smile. His voice seemed to be a little tired, and he said slowly, "I never realized that your imagination is so good … Claudia, what have you been through these days?"
"My imagination is good? Hmph, I'm just basing it on … Wait? " Claudia couldn't help but be shocked at this time, and then she fell into a trance, "You … What did you call me?"
Her name … He … How did he know?
