The fire in the manor was quickly put out, but the king of the world was kidnapped. This was the worst kind of provocation to the world government.
Outside the manor, a large group of Purge Knights had arrived.
Every guest, including their attendants, was being interrogated by the Purge Knights. Even the coachmen waiting outside were being interrogated.
Even though the pure-blooded nobles had absolute privileges, they were still inferior to the power of the royal family. Even if they were in conflict, they could only cooperate obediently.
"I really don't know! I really don't know anything! Sir! Stop beating them! "
Screams of pain could be heard everywhere.
Even though it was an interrogation, the treatment of the nobles and the servants of the nobles were completely different.
In the temporary tents set up outside the manor, the knights captured ten attendants at once and interrogated them with tortures...
The newly promoted Purge Knight Commander, Balam, heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and tossed the leather whip away.
He was probably tired from the beating.
He sat down and took a big gulp of water before he said to Knight Bismai, "I don't think we can get anything out of this batch. Let's change to the next batch."
Knight Bismai shook his head. "The next batch won't be able to get anything out of them. If the Clown is the one who did it, we can interrogate everyone in the manor and still get nothing out of them."
Knight Balam asked curiously, "Bismai, you seem to be very familiar with the Clown?"
Bismai frowned and remembered that this person was a new commander of the knights who came out of nowhere. He didn't seem to have worked in the Holy Land before. Instead, he was promoted from somewhere else.
"Hmph!" But Bismai only snorted coldly and left his seat, walking out of the tent.
Commander Balam could only look at his subordinates in the tent with an innocent expression. "Did I say something wrong?"
At this moment, a subordinate quietly came up and said, "Lord Balam, Lord Bismai wasn't a Purge Knight in the past. Instead, he was the commander of the Royal Knights. His status isn't something we can compare to. However, a few years ago, the strange bandit [Clown] broke into the palace and successfully escaped. As the person in charge of that incident, Lord Bismai was almost executed. Later on, I heard that it was the Prince who stopped him, so he was assigned to the Purge Knights as a punishment. "
"I see …" Commander Balam nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, let's switch to the next batch. I don't feel tired anymore!"
"O-okay!"
This Lord Balam is truly vicious and merciless … the subordinate thought to himself.
…
…
"All of you, walk faster!"
That night was supposed to be Princess Angelique's banquet. Most of the nobles in the Holy Land were present, so naturally, there were more attendants.
After all, the nobles, especially the pure-blooded nobles, were always extravagant when they went out.
However, it also increased the difficulty of the Purge Knights' interrogation … The nobles' followers that were under control were now being escorted away in batches.
Daphne was one of the escorts.
When the manor caught on fire, the situation was chaotic. Daphne was separated from the others at that time and was immediately captured by the Purge Knights.
In front of her was the temporary camp of the Purge Knights. Screams kept coming out from the tents … Daphne walked in the group, and her face paled when she was about to be interrogated.
I wonder where Mister Commander is right now. Will his identity be discovered?
There's also everyone in the circus, and that Miss Yu Liya …
Daphne was worried about many people, and then she was worried about herself … Although the interrogation was scary, it wasn't to the extent of killing someone. At the very least, she hadn't heard of any followers being tortured to death.
Heavy injuries, torture … It seemed like she had experienced it before.
Daphne's expression dimmed. The nobles' followers around her all had terrified expressions on their faces … Everyone was in the same situation, so they didn't care about what the people around them looked like.
At this moment, Daphne suddenly felt her hands that were tied behind her back suddenly loosen.
[Maiden]'s heart skipped a beat. In the next second, she felt her body being forcefully pulled over by something. Even her mouth was covered!
Daphne's eyes widened.
She heard someone quickly say, "Shh! Don't shout, it's me! "
Daphne was pulled into a thicket of flowers by the roadside. At this moment, she couldn't care less about the piercing pain caused by the thorns on the branches and leaves, because Daphne had already recognized the owner of that voice.
Kaliana … The half-elf girl who was brought along with Medanzo.
What was even more unbelievable was that Kaliana was wearing the maid uniform of the Princess' Manor … She … When was she?
"Come with me first!" Kaliana lowered her voice and said.
…
After evading the guards of the manor, the two snuck into a dark room. Kariana quickly threw Daphne a maid's uniform.
"Thank you …" Daphne felt like she had survived a disaster. "But you … How did you …"
"Aren't I a half-elf?" Kaliana said casually. "Although my bloodline isn't pure, I still have some elven abilities … My senses are stronger than normal people."
"Did you see anyone else?" Daphne asked with concern as she put on the maid uniform.
Kaliana shook her head. "I wanted to see if I could find a chance to escape, but I didn't expect to run into you … You're the only one. I didn't see anyone else. But you don't have to worry. Isn't that powerful magician pretending to be a pure-blooded noble? The Purge Knights wouldn't dare to do anything to a pure-blooded noble even with the Princess' orders. As for that person who calls herself Medanzo, you don't have to worry either. That person looks mysterious and has a lot of tricks up her sleeves! "
Daphne, who had already changed into the maid uniform, suddenly asked, "Say, if I go out and ask around …"
Kaliana quickly stopped this dangerous thought. "Do you think you'll be safe just by changing into the maid uniform? At most, you'll be able to fool the unfamiliar Purge Knights. If you run into the servants of the manor, you'll be exposed immediately … Let's hide here for now and see if we can find a chance to sneak out tomorrow morning when everyone is tired … By the way, are you hungry? "
Daphne shook her head, indicating that she wasn't in the mood.
Kaliana shrugged and took out a ball of cloth. It was filled with the exquisite pastries from the banquet. Of course, they were all squashed into lumps and didn't look good.
At this time, Kaliana was eating happily.
Daphne looked at this spirited girl in a daze. She felt that Kaliana was the type who could survive no matter where she was.
Optimist?
"By the way, when I was hiding, I heard something." The girl's lips were covered with pastry powder as she said mysteriously, "I heard that the Princess is going to execute all the guests and attendants tonight except for the pure-blooded nobles."
"Those Bestowed Nobles as well?"
"Didn't I say that it's everything except for [Pureblood]? Of course, it includes [Bestowed Nobles]." Kaliana shrugged. "Haven't you heard of this queen's nickname?"
Daphne shook her head.
Kaliana swallowed the food in her mouth and said seriously, "[Scarlet Killer Mistress]."
…
…
The fire in the manor burned many places in the manor into a grayish-black color. However, it didn't burn down the buildings here.
In a relatively clean tower, Princess Angelique was looking down. The expressionless princess made the stewards, the commander of the royal knights, and the commander of the Purge Knights behind her tense up.
Probably only Prince [Desolate] was relaxed.
The prince hadn't left yet. Since the World Prince had been kidnapped and such a big thing had happened, the prince immediately had a good reason to stay. So, he happily stayed and didn't leave.
Regarding this, even Her Royal Highness didn't seem to have a good solution. She could only act as if what she didn't see couldn't hurt her.
"Your Highness, are we really going to execute these people?" The commander of the royal knights had to brace himself and ask.
It was acceptable to execute the attendants, and those nobles wouldn't care about the lives of the attendants. However, the identity of the Bestowed Nobles was different after all.
Her Royal Highness said indifferently, "Someone has to pay the price for doing something wrong. The greater the price, the more people will understand how many innocent people will be implicated the next time they do something similar. Being willful also needs to stop. "
While saying this, Her Royal Highness glanced at Prince [Desolate] not far away, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Prince [Desolate] blinked his eyes and mouthed, "Hi".
The commander of the royal knights felt that the meaning of these words was a little unclear. He didn't understand why Her Royal Highness didn't immediately organize people to capture the World Prince. Instead, she wanted to execute so many people.
However, Her Royal Highness had always been a bloodthirsty person. If she just wanted to vent her anger, Her Royal Highness would even kill the Pureblood Nobles. Moreover, she had killed quite a number of them.
"Then … what about Her Majesty's side?" The commander of the royal knights braced himself and asked again.
Princess Angelique looked outside the tower. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "There will be a reaction soon. Look, isn't it here?"
Here?
Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a black shadow flying quickly in the night sky. The black shadow landed, and surprisingly, it was a silver steel unicorn flying horse.
And on the steel unicorn flying horse, there was a handsome young master wearing a long black windbreaker sitting on it.
The young master on the flying horse landed. The commander of the royal knights, the commander of the Purge Knights, and the others all lowered their heads. The matter of the Prince being kidnapped had indeed alarmed this person.
The Founding Emperor, one of the seven generals by His Majesty Calafar's side … The King General of Heaven, Fuxi!
…
The young master in the black windbreaker walked over slowly. He bowed slightly in front of Princess Angelique and said, "Your Royal Highness, good evening. Prince [Desolate], good evening."
"Fuxi." Princess Angelique nodded indifferently. "Since Her Majesty asked you to come, it means that Her Majesty is not in a good mood."
The King General of Heaven smiled slightly and took out a small brocade box. "Your Royal Highness, this is the birthday gift Her Majesty asked me to give you."
Princess Angelique frowned, but reached out to take it. She muttered, "He … what else did he say?"
Heaven King Fuxi revealed a warm smile and said, "I will be in charge of the search for the strange bandits from now on … His Majesty said that Your Highness has been frightened tonight and needs to rest well. Don't worry about anything else."
"What if I insist on interfering?" Her Highness asked abruptly.
"Her Majesty said that Your Royal Highness will have a good rest." The King General of Heaven said calmly.
Princess Angelique's eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at Fuxi for a moment, then ordered expressionlessly, "Men, prepare a room. I want to rest."
After saying that, Her Royal Highness flung her sleeves and left.
The knights did not dare to move at this time, let alone look up. They even tried to breathe as lightly as possible.
But at this moment, a terrified scream came from below the manor. The King General of Heaven frowned slightly and looked down casually. "What happened?"
Outside, a knight walked in with his scalp tingling. He trembled and said, "Her Royal Highness Angelique just gave the order … Kill, kill, immediately!"
King General of Heaven shook his head slightly at this time. "She really means what she says. Or is she … dissatisfied?"
No one dared to respond to this question.
"Forget it. Let's just kill them. Anyway, this year's quota of nobles is not enough." King General of Heaven said rather casually, "It's better than Her Royal Highness throwing a tantrum. Don't you think so, Prince Desolate?"
"Ah? You called me? "
Prince Desolate was at the exit at this time, and he was about to leave.
"Prince Desolate, it's past midnight." King General of Heaven smiled and said, "Your application to leave the palace has exceeded the time limit. You have to go back. Her Majesty misses you very much."
"I'm going back now?"
"Men, escort Prince Desolate back to the palace."
…
…
"Why is the TV off?"
The girl had just sneaked out of the room. Her goal was to avoid her brother's attention and successfully steal the happy drink and cherries for cultivation tonight from the fridge. Then, she stole the instant noodles and soul ham sausage on the cupboard.
"It's a bit late. Get ready to sleep." Boss Luo said casually, "You have to wake up early tomorrow."
The girl blinked her eyes. What was on the TV just now … It seemed that she saw a flying steel pegasus?
It seemed that some strange programs were being broadcasted recently — but when she turned on the TV, she couldn't find them. Could it be that her brother paid for them to be broadcasted?
Since he paid for them, he should have broadcasted some restricted programs. As an adult male, he should have some adult male needs … He had such a cute sister by his side.
"Wake up early … for what?" The girl asked in surprise at this time.
"Something. I have to go on a business trip for a few days," Boss Luo said softly.
"Business trip??" The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Yes." Boss Luo smiled and said, "That's why I have to leave here for a few days."
The girl froze for a moment. Then, her pitiful tears almost flowed out of her eyes … She shouted in her heart, Hooray! Hooray! Hooray for a business trip!
"Brother, you have to come back soon!"
"I see …" Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Then I'll reject the business trip."
The girl was petrified.
Boss Luo smiled and walked to the girl's side. He patted her head and said, "Rest early."
…
…
Freedom City.
"Is … is there anything wrong with your [Channel]? I can't see anything. What about [Daphne]? "
"Who cares about [Daphne]! I want to see [Yu Liya] … My [Yu Liya] can't see either!! "
At this time, they suddenly realized that they couldn't see anything from several angles.
