She Chooses To Destroy the World

Chapter 93: Speed ​​of life and death.

Their trip to the east this time gave Cecilian a lot of energy. According to Cecilian’s statement, he was able to sense that he was far away from the real body of another plane, and he was already waking up at this time.

“To make my real body truly awakened, only one last chance is needed.”

“What kind of opportunity?”

“I don’t know yet.” Cecilian said, “I will tell you when the time comes.”

Circelian’s words reminded Alice of the agreement she had made with Earl Rachel. She touched the ring of the contract on her finger, and the ring became slightly hot. The Archmage Talus once told her that the contract fixed by the ring was sacred and unbreakable, and even he could not safely remove the ring.

Now, the king decided to join hands with the mages to deal with Earl Rachel, and Circillian was already in the midst of waking up. The faith area of the Great Mother God headed by Earl Rachel in the North seemed to be at risk at this time. Alice doesn’t care about Earl Rachel, but when Circillian really wakes up, she must save Olivia. This is not only about the safety of her own life, but also repaying the Duchess’ kindness.

How can we coordinate all this and take Olivia away at the right time? Alice doesn’t know yet, but… when that happens, she will probably know.

They rode the carriage for a few days and finally arrived at the royal capital.

The female mage Vioretta took the most luxurious hotel on the Royal Palace Avenue, and parked the carriage with the coat of arms of the Flamel family brightly at the door of the hotel. The Avenue of the Palace is just in front of the Palace. Almost all the nobles who go to the Palace to meet the king pass by here. As long as you pay a little attention, you can see the coat of arms on the carriage.

Violetta is usually a bit sassy, but it hasn’t reached this level yet. Alice privately suspected that Vioretta chose to live on the Avenue of the Royal Palace and put out the horse-drawn carriage with heraldry. This may have come from the instruction of the Archmage Talus. As for the significance of Archmage Talus’s move… it was beyond the simple mind of Alice.

Ordinarily, Alice should enter the palace immediately, hand over the archmage’s reply letter to the king as quickly as possible, and notify him that the archmage’s messenger has arrived. However, she was not a cronies of the king, but a knight under the duchess. She did not have the authority to enter the palace directly without being summoned, so she still went to the duchess’ mansion to meet her first.

Alice left the capital for about two months. During this time, the Duchess has hosted two dinners and three dances, and has organized more than a dozen small salons, inviting the most popular people to attend. If the Duchess in Yunda Castle is a strong fighter who relies on an iron fist to maintain a stable lord, then the Duchess in the social arena is a bright, charming, sophisticated noblewoman. She grew up in the royal capital and was trained to be an excellent hostess, and she was like a duck in the social arena. Yunda Castle is really not suitable for women like the Duchess to live for a long time. Now she has maintained her skin in the royal capital for more than two months, and her skin has become more shiny.

Alice presented the reenchanted beaded crown. The duke saw the dazzling beaded crown, her eyes were slightly moist, and she couldn’t help taking a handkerchief and wiping it:

“When I gave it to Olivia, it was exactly the same as it is now. The crown can be restored to its original shape, but my poor Olivia… never sees it again.”

Seeing the sad look of the Duchess, Alice felt her heart broken. She must control herself with a strong willpower to keep the promise she made and not tell the Duchess that Olivia is still alive. However, judging by the current developments, it is probably not far before the sisters meet again.

The duchess put away the crown, as if put away the most vulnerable side of herself, wiped away her tears, and showed her usual strong and shrewd appearance, and asked Alice:

“My business is finished, and the reply letter from Master Flamel, Master Tata, has also been brought back? And your own business… have you figured it out?”

Alice nodded:

“In addition to the reply, the tower master also sent two wizards as envoys to meet with His Majesty the King on his behalf. As for my own business…” Alice hesitated a little, and replied, “I understand it clearly. ”

“That’s good.” The duchess had no intention to ask more about the family situation of the knights under her, focusing only on important things, “I will take you into the palace to meet the king, and let him immediately declare the wizards to see… The high priest would definitely not agree to the king’s cooperation with the wizards, this matter must be done secretly.”

“It’s late.” Alice smiled bitterly. “The female mage who came with me, Vioretta, has already booked the largest hotel in the capital. I dare to say that it won’t take three hours before the high priest will know this. Thing.”

The Duchess seemed to have a headache, she reached out and rubbed her temples:

“It seems that the mages of the Flamel family deliberately want to make the high priest and the king conflict. If this is the case, things will be a bit troublesome. But from our point of view… it’s not good. It’s bad. In short, you should follow me into the palace now and report the matter to the king immediately. If the king can sign a contract with the wizards quickly, even if the high priest has an opinion, he can’t help it.”

When the duke finished speaking, she immediately called someone to prepare a car and took Alice into the palace. Before arriving in the audience hall, the duchess met the king’s chief attendant:

“Oliver, who is the king talking to? I have important things to see your majesty immediately.”

The chief attendant Oliver is a close friend of the king. He saw the duchess with Alice, who was a servant of the dust, and immediately understood what had happened. He gave a sorry smile:

“His Royal Highness, you cannot go in. Your Majesty is drinking tea with the high priest in the first meeting room.”

The Duchess frowned:

“When did the high priest come?”

“Morning is here,” Chief Attendant Oliver quickly replied, “He wants to talk to His Majesty about the cost of repairs to the temple. The two have talked to no result yet. But I think…they should be almost finished talking.”

The duke and Alice looked at each other.

Since the high priest has been staying with the king since morning, it means that he doesn’t know for the time being that the wizard of Flamel has arrived.

But a large number of nobles gathered here, and after a while, when the high priest said goodbye to the king and wanted to leave the palace, someone would definitely tell him when he passed by.

The duchess pointed to a fidgeting man next to him and whispered to Alice:

“That one is Earl Freeman, he is a close confidant of the high priest, look at his anxious look, he must be waiting here to inform the high priest as soon as possible.”

Alice looked in the direction of the duchess’ fingers. The earl seemed to realize that Alice was looking at him and gave her a vicious look.

Judging from his expression, the Duchess’ speculation is probably not wrong.

The duchess looked at the head attendant:

“Oliver, can you think of a way?”

There are many attendants around the king, and Oliver can be the chief attendant, of course he is superb. He smiled:

“Don’t worry, you sit here for a while, and when the king has finished talking with the high priest, I will invite you in immediately.”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, the duke and Alice finally settled down a little, and sat down to enjoy the tea and cakes brought by the attendants.

At this moment, the conversation between the king and the high priest was about to end, and both looked a little tired. The king called an attendant to accompany the high priest out, and he yawned:

“Who is the next person to see?”

The attendant hurriedly reported:

“It’s the Duchess and her knights, Your Majesty.”

The king knew that the news from the east had returned, and he immediately became energetic:

“Hurry up and invite them in.”

When the king was about to summon Alice, the high priest frowned at the attendant leading the way:

“We didn’t walk this way in the morning, why should we take a long detour?”

“After you passed in the morning, a chandelier fell off the corridor.” The attendant turned around and said respectfully to the high priest. For your safety, I have to apologize for you to detour and walk through the side door. Please rest assured that the chief attendant has notified the adults of the carriage, and the carriage will be waiting for you at the side door.”

The high priest did not doubt that he was there, and followed the attendant to continue to the side door. At this time, the passage leading to the Hall of Audience was opened, and Earl Freeman was only going to come out as the high priest, and he quickly stood up to greet him, but only his majesty’s attendants were seen:

“His Majesty the King announced that the Duchess Felix would be present.”

Alice and the Duchess walked quickly to the audience hall under the guidance of the attendants. Alice had time to turn her head and glanced at the frustrated face of Earl Freeman.

After they went to the audience hall to see the king, Alice immediately informed him that two wizards had arrived, and they were now staying in the hotel on the Palace Avenue waiting to be met.

His Majesty the King frowned deeply:

“Oliver, immediately send someone to the palace avenue to pick up the two wizards as quickly as possible. The high priest will know this as soon as he goes out… we may be too late.”

“Someone has been sent to pick it up.” The strategizing chief attendant never looked flustered, and always showed a faint smile, “Now the high priest is probably on the carriage returning to the temple, and he shouldn’t be back before the evening. ”

The king’s expression suddenly became cheerful, and he laughed loudly:

“Oliver, I really should promote you, but if you get promoted, I won’t find such a good head waiter.”

The chief attendant was obviously very happy, but being His Majesty’s chief attendant shouldn’t show an excessive smile, so he just raised the smile on his face slightly and bowed deeply to the king:

“It is the honor of my life to be your majesty’s chief attendant.”
