The business lady's shrill laughter still lingered in the corridor, gradually fading away.

The two Bancia knights stared at this scene with their mouths open - watching the black smoke disperse from the corridor. The Sadr wizard glanced over with a gloomy gaze: "Why are you still standing there?" He said coldly: "

Clean this place up."

The two knights, one old and one young, quickly lowered their heads and responded in succession.

Sadr turned around and looked at Antitina up and down. The woman's words when she left made him feel something was wrong: "Are you the princess of this country?"

Antitina looked directly into the other person's eyes without fear, her eyes were clear and firm, but she didn't say a word.

Sadr snorted coldly in his heart when he saw this, knowing that his psychological suggestions would not work. Although the wizard's mind-controlling spell is powerful, it must be based on the premise that the other party is not on guard, and if the recipient knows your methods well,

Then there is even less hope.

He was afraid of damaging the little girl's brain, so he thought for a while and did not continue. He gestured to Antitina with a gloomy face, gesturing for her to follow.

Although Antitina did not answer, she also understood that her useless resistance at this time was meaningless, and followed her silently. The two entered a study room, and the Sadr wizard did not say a word, but took out a book from the drawer.

He picked up a communication ruby ​​and rubbed it twice with his fingers.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Sadr."

When Antitina heard this voice, she felt all the blood rushing to her brain. Although she had expected it, she still couldn't help but tremble with anger. The wizard Sadr knocked on the table, and the door opened on its own. Antitina

He raised his head and looked at the man outside the door. His eyes filled with anger were like two sharp swords, stabbing at that man.

The person outside the door obviously didn't expect to be greeted by such two terrifying looks, and couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back.

But when he saw clearly who the owner of this gaze was, his expression couldn't help but change: "Why is it you?"

"Who is she?" Before Antitina could speak, the wizard Sadr, who had already had a bad premonition, asked first. He sat motionless in his seat, his face already dark and gloomy.

The person who came was none other than Macaro.

This confidant of the royal party, the cunning fox of Llantonilan, the confidant of the Grand Duke Canonon——

The traitor was now wearing a dusty black fur coat, the velvet hat on his head was stained with dew, rain and snow, and his riding boots were filled with semi-dried soil. He looked like he had just arrived at the Lantern Castle, and had rushed there before.

It’s been a long journey and I haven’t had time to rest.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Antitina couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The dignified courtiers of Eruin were actually showing such a cautious and begging attitude. How could they look like a leader of the royal party?

Is this what this person pursues throughout his life?

It is true that benevolence is rewarded.

"My lord, something is wrong." Of course Macaro understood what the other person's gaze meant, but he deliberately turned a blind eye and replied respectfully to the side: "This is not Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is the mistress of Count Tonigel, and she is also a

A very powerful woman.”

"I didn't expect you to be such a villain, Macaro," Antitina looked at the traitor and said coldly: "You betrayed Her Royal Highness the Princess and slandered the relationship between me and the lord. You

Do you think everyone is as dirty and dirty as you, yet you still have the nerve to call her Princess?"

Macaro was about to speak sarcastically when he heard the wizard Sadr roar angrily: "Shut up!"

He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a bolt of lightning burst out from his fingertips, hitting Antitina on the chest. Antitina screamed, only to feel herself hit backwards against a wall of bookshelves, and a heartbreaking pain came from her vest.

, the bookshelf has overturned on her, and the books fell heavily, burying her underneath.

Blood immediately poured out from everywhere, and there was a fishy, ​​salty taste in her mouth. She coughed twice weakly, feeling that she was about to faint. But then she heard the voice of the Sadr wizard outside saying: "

You'd better give me an explanation, Macaro."

"S-Sir..." Macaro suppressed his uneasiness and defended: "...I don't quite understand."

"My men captured the people, but the things were given to you and me. Do you think my men dared to deceive me?" Wizard Sadr sat in his seat, his gloomy face like a ball gestating a storm.

Wu Yun: "Now that we have arrested the person, can you tell me that she is not the princess?"

"Sir... I understand..." Macaro swallowed and racked his brains to understand what the problem was: "Can you show me?"

The Sorcerer Sadr snorted coldly and raised his hand to throw a gem. It was the Golin gem used by the Bansians to verify Antitina's bloodline when they captured her.

Macaro silently took the gem and observed it carefully - this gem was originally part of the Lion-Hearted Holy Sword. It was inlaid on the counterweight of the holy sword by the first generation of swordsmiths as a symbol of Eruin's royal power.

symbol.

Later, in the Battle of Baltar, the gem was lost from the sword, and the knights found it again a year later; after that, the late King Ek used it to cast a crown, which has always been Sifah's.

The family's treasure.

After the fall of the Sifah dynasty, this laurel crown symbolizing royal power naturally came to the hands of the Corcova family. Its last owner was Obergu VII. Before the death of this dim old king, he

Entrust the crown to the royal party for safekeeping - in fact, the crown has always been kept in the hands of Macaro and Overwell.

Macaro looked carefully at this gem that exuded dazzling light. He looked over it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. He swore that this gem must be a real Goring gem, but how could such a problem happen?

After a while, the traitor raised his head in confusion while holding the gem. Looking at his expression, the Sadr wizard knew that this was a waste of time: "You want to say that I made a mistake?"

"Sir, I..." Macaro was really sweating now. He may still be a figure in Eruin, but in front of the Sasard people, this status is not worth mentioning at all.

He was about to find an excuse to explain, but at this moment, a hoarse sneer came from under the overturned bookshelf: "...Mr. Wizard, why do you let him continue to deceive you?"

Macaro turned around subconsciously.

He saw a 'crash' sound, and the bookshelf was pushed open by a pair of weak arms.

A girl covered in injuries struggled to get up from below. Books and sundries fell from her body like rain, but in the end the girl stood staggeringly.

The girl looked at the two people in the room, and finally her eyes fell on the wizard Sadr.

"Sir, she..." Macaro realized something was wrong and hurriedly said.

But Sorcerer Sadr's face was expressionless, and even the remaining anger on his face disappeared: "Let her continue."

Macaro had to shut up obediently, but his expression was very angry.

"Give me the gem," Antitina did not intend to let him go. She looked at the traitor coldly: "The Gorin gem is Eruin's sacred object. How can I give it to a lackey traitor like you?"

"What do you want to do?" Macaro felt slightly uncomfortable.

Antitina didn't answer him at all, she just looked at the wizard Sadr aside.

"Give it to her," the wizard Sadr replied as expected.

"Sir, be careful she may break this gem..."

"Give it to her." Wizard Sadr emphasized his tone.

Macaro had no choice but to obey.

He is known as the cunning fox of Lantoniland, but no matter how cunning a fox is, he would not dare to make a mistake in front of a real lion. Although he is full of conspiracy, it has no effect here.

Antitina took the gem. The Golin gem, which seemed ordinary just now, burst into light as soon as it touched her hand.

And when the gem was stained with her blood, it suddenly shone brightly - a flame seemed to light up in the center of the gem. It slowly expanded outwards, and finally became bright and flawless, radiating in all directions.

Soft light.

The girl held the gem in both hands, as if she were holding up a sun.

The dazzling light shot out in all directions, making Macaro dare not look directly at it. Even the Sadr wizard not far away couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"This..." Macaro was completely stunned. He covered his eyes with his hands and said loudly: "...how is this possible!"

But the Sadr wizard seemed much calmer. He only looked at Antitina thoughtfully.

Antitina put down the gem, as if following her will, and the light of the gem gradually faded with her movements.

She raised her head, looked directly into the eyes of Sorcerer Sadr, and said very calmly: "The person you are looking for is not reliable at all. He doesn't even understand the true meaning of the Goring Stone, and he actually tried to use this stone to find

Princess Griffin is so ridiculous."

After saying this, Antitina closed her mouth.

Just waiting silently.

But she was actually extremely nervous. She was gambling, but as long as she guessed the possibility wrong, she might die here right away.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to make a mistake on the crucial issue.

"Don't sow discord," Sadr said coldly: "No matter what you know, little girl, you can only survive if you prove your worth."

"What I mean is," Antitina was unmoved and replied equally coldly: "You have simply found the wrong person. Although the Corcova family rules Eruin today, they are only usurpers after all."

That’s all.”

At this time, Macaro finally recovered from the shock.

After hearing these words, an almost non-existent possibility suddenly flashed through his mind: "Wait, you...you mean..."

Antitina glanced at this person with some disgust. She reached out and pulled out a necklace from under her neck. The necklace without the pendant was swaying gently in her hand - sparkling in the afternoon sun.

.

"Do you recognize it, Mr. Foxy?"

"Heart of Sifah!" Macaro almost took a step back: "You, you are the direct heir of the Sifah royal family!?"

"Wait a minute," the wizard suddenly interrupted the two of them impatiently: "What's going on? You said she is also an heir to a royal family. What you mean is that the Corcova royal family not only has two heirs, but
To be continued...
