Chapter 107
Chapter 107: Black yarn on the cap. …
Just as Alice and the Duchess were discussing how to use this assassination, outside the Duchess’ bedroom, Kent was looking at Circillian with a very vigilant look.
Mrs. Olivia had already introduced herself and was invited by Kent to rest in the living room connected to the Duchess’ bedroom. As for the silent Cecillian next to him… he didn’t seem to want to introduce himself at all, but just stood aside. Kent couldn’t tell what he was, and stood opposite him vigilantly.
It was clear that Kent himself urged Alice in just now to talk to the Duchess. At this moment, he complained in his heart that Alice was walking too fast and went in before introducing him to her companions.
The stranger in front of him made Kent inexplicably nervous.
Kent’s luck has never been very good, and he has never had a job that can improve his qualifications. He has not obtained a small piece of land by the age of twenty, and I don’t know when he can pay back the money he owes Alice and get married. The matter of “has not settled at all… Although Kent has experienced all kinds of difficulties in his life, he has protected the safety of His Royal Highness from the hands of the assassins several times. After a lot of training, he became a knight who can be on his own. But when facing the man in front of him, Kent felt that he didn’t even know where to put his hands.
Kent realized with his knight’s keenness that this was no ordinary person. But at the same time, although he was sure he had never seen this face before, he couldn’t tell why. This person felt very familiar to him…
At this time, it suddenly occurred to him that when Alice lived next to him before, there was always a bit of mystery, and there were often voices in the room. Although Kent doesn’t like talking nonsense like Big Mouth Holden, he is also curious. On several occasions, he deliberately knocked on Alice’s room door, but after the door opened, there was nothing in the room.
Is that mysterious guy in front of you?
After thinking about it again and again, he finally tentatively opened his mouth: “You are…”
“I’m Cecilian.”
The name is also familiar. Kent bet where he had heard of it.
That…horse of Alice?
Kent has considerable confidence in his memory.
When Alice participated in the knight tournament, she rode a particularly beautiful black horse, but after that game, the horse disappeared and never appeared again. Kent asked Alice several times at the time, and she was interrupted by her casually. However, now, a man with exactly the same name as her horse appeared in front of him… Besides, “Secilian” is not a particularly common name… This situation really makes people think about it.
Kent’s expression became a little alarmed.
Philo Knight taught him a lot of indispensable knowledge, but never taught him how to deal with… the person a horse has become?
When Kent was an adult, he held the ceremony in the same way as the believers of the **** of light, but he, like all the nobles of West Felix, did not regard the gods as an indispensable content in life. So when he encountered an incomprehensible situation in front of him, he would not associate these things with the gods, but began to think in the direction of other elves and ghosts.
“So you are… Alice’s…?”
Seeing Kent’s expression mixed with panic and panic, Circillian couldn’t help but smile:
“I am her god.”
Just as Kent and Circillian looked at each other, Alice opened the door between the Duchess’ bedroom and the living room.
Mrs. Olivia held her handkerchief tightly in her hand. Her face was a little pale, not sure if it was because she was too tired from the journey, or she was too nervous because she was finally about to meet her sister.
The duke sat up from the bed.
The eyes are facing each other.
The pair of sisters who hadn’t seen each other in decades met again, and they were no longer what they remembered. The duke’s sideburns have long been gray-haired, and Mrs. Olivia has coexisted with the gods all year round, aging much more slowly than ordinary people, but her face has almost completely changed.
Seeing each other at this time was more surprised than moved, and neither of them cried.
Mrs. Olivia walked to the Duchess and called:
“elder sister.”
Her voice is a little hoarse.
The Duchess smiled:
“My little Olivia.”
Alice did not dare to watch the meeting of the sisters, and quietly left the Duchess’ bedroom.
She came out of the room and saw Kent standing in a strangely stiff posture by accident. Cecilian was opposite him, but looked very relaxed.
She was at a loss:
“What’s wrong with you…?”
“Ah…” Cecilian looked a little troubled, “Your friend looks very nervous. I told him I was your god, but he didn’t seem to believe it very much, so I slightly… … revealed what it was like.”
Alice understood.
So Kent was like the soldiers who had seen Circillian before, caught in the confusion of faith.
She sighed:
“Well, you stay here, I’ll go to Bennett.”
Alice asked the Bennett Cavaliers to change shifts, and carried Kent to his room to rest by herself. Kent’s spirit seemed to have been severely hit, and the whole person was in a trance. Fortunately, Bennett didn’t ask anything.
After all, Kent was not as weak as an ordinary soldier, and after a day, he was basically back to normal.
The duchess’ plan began.
At the very beginning, there was no need to make any arrangements. The fact that Faerun Mansion was under martial law and Mrs. Olivia rushed back with Alice Ribbon was enough to arouse people’s discussion. Recently, the wound of the Duchess has almost healed and is basically out of danger, so the doctor does not need to come again. With these details, the Duchess only had to send someone to let out a little wind, and the news that she was dead immediately spread through the city.
Another day passed, the door of Faerun’s mansion opened, and Mrs. Olivia appeared.
The West Felix people had never seen Mrs. Olivia before, but in the six months since Alice attacked the Northland, most people had heard about Mrs. Olivia, and knew about Olivia who was rumored to have died many years ago. Mrs. Wei is actually alive. The Duchess concealed the sacrificial part of the whole story, saying only that she was a victim of the earl’s crazy possessiveness.
The people here soon knew about Alice’s return with Mrs. Olivia. When they saw the lady who looked similar to the Duchess walking out of the door of Faerun’s mansion in a black dress and a black veiled hat on her head… you don’t need to say anything, everyone naturally knows what happened.
After that, the door of Faerun’s mansion was opened, and Mrs. Olivia began to organize the funeral as the owner of the funeral. Miss Miranda also dressed in mourning clothes and followed Mrs. Olivia.
Normally, it’s hard not to tell what happened in Faerun’s mansion. Before that, the people in Faerun City had heard that the Duchess deliberately chose Miss Miranda to be her heir. Seeing Miss Miranda wearing a mourning dress now confirms this speculation. However, Miss Miranda’s ascension to the throne has not been announced, and it is clear that the Duchess did not complete the adoption documents before her death.
The whole city of Falun was plunged into a gloomy mist.
On the third day after Mrs. Olivia appeared wearing a black veiled hat, Earl Felix came to the city.
Count Felix came with a whole army of cavalry. He rode on a horse, proud, and waited for the city to open the door to welcome him in.
The person who came out to greet him was Alice.
She stood at the head of the city, condescending:
“Feelen City already has a new owner, please come back, count.”
Count Felix rode on the horse and looked up at Alice. He knew that Alice was a famous knight of the Duchess, and he was kind to her:
“I was originally the rightful owner of Philadelphia, so where does a new owner come up?”
Alice’s expression is serious:
“Before the Duchess died, she passed the title of duke to Miss Miranda.”
Earl Felix sneered and said:
“From the assassination of the Duchess to the present, a total of 21 days. Even if the Duchess can complete the adoption documents before her death, there will be no time to get the approval of the nobles. The city of Philadelphia should be mine. I suggest you open the city gates. Negative corner stubbornly resist.”
Count Felix knew that the elite of the Duchess was still in the North at this time. Apart from a few indispensable soldiers, there were only three knights sent by the Duchess. He specially brought a whole team of cavalry to come, just to use force to make the opposing party succumb to the situation when the knights of the Duchess were not willing to admit defeat easily.
A whole team of cavalry faced three people, and it was impossible to lose anyway.
There was no movement on the tower for a long time, Earl Felix was wondering, but saw that the city gate was finally opened and Alice was riding on the horse in full armor, Kent and Bennett behind him.
Seeing that the battle was inevitable, a cavalryman behind Earl Felix suddenly drew a bow and arrow to Alice.
The distance between them was very close, and the cavalry aimed at Alice’s left eye, shooting accurately and fast.
Things only happen in an instant.
Alice heard an exclamation from behind.
To avoid it is too late, Alice can only act on her instinct, Circelian’s power is in her body, so that she can do things that ordinary people can’t do-Alice grasped the arrow in the palm of her hand.
The sharp point of the arrow pierced her palm, causing her hand to bleed. She frowned and dropped the blood-stained arrow to the ground.
Although she was injured, the impact of her hand just now was far stronger than that of avoiding an arrow. Count Felix’s cavalry suddenly realized that the female knight in front of her was probably not human.
She drove forward and approached Earl Felix.
The earl’s horse was also photographed by the momentum and took two steps back.
Alice kept coming to him and asked with a smile:
“The Duchess has been blocking the news since she was assassinated, without letting anyone know the specific circumstances and information of her assassination. Where did you know that it has been 21 days since she was assassinated?”
The earl felt the danger instinctively. He pulled on the reins and was about to turn the horse’s head back, but it was too late, and Alice reached out and grabbed his reins and knocked him off the horse.
The cavalry behind wanted to attack Alice and tried to save the earl. However, they were afraid that they would hurt the earl with their horses’ hoofs and hesitated to step forward. Alice smiled, leaned down, took the earl’s belt, and dragged him onto the horseback like a face pocket.
“My Lord Earl, I arrested you for murdering the Duchess.”
