Act 132: The Cage Under the Rain(2/2)
The young man who had been soaked in the water stood outside the door, looking at him in a panic, and said: "Uncle Bolton, it's bad, something big has happened." The young man's face was pale, and he looked like he was in a state of confusion. "
A... a... Min'er came to the village, and she said her name was... Su... Sophia, and she was... a witch."
…
A sharp bolt of lightning passed through the window pane and penetrated deeply into the depths of Qian's orange-red pupils. She raised her head and looked with some surprise at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her - a lion wearing a holy robe and bathed in blood.
Statue of the Lady of the Palace. On the terrace outside the third floor of the castle, Sidney Metfalika stood in the rain. At this moment, there were three wounds on his face that were deep enough to show the bones. The blood had long dried up and rolled over.
The wound was washed a little white by the rain, and one eye was narrowed due to the severe injury. However, this did not change the lady's cold and almost stiff expression. The flame ring of the angel Akroma in her one-eyed eye was still there.
Burning, and staring at Qian coldly.
Although she was injured in many places and her shirt was stained with blood, Akane had an illusion in her mind that the blood on the lady in front of her was far less her own than that of her enemy.
But how could such a war happen in the capital of the empire at this moment? She had heard of this woman's reputation, and knew that it would not be easy to injure her to such an enemy. If such a war happened in the central area controlled by the Cruz people,
rival, then this empire must not have many days to live, so it can only be the internal contradictions of the empire. Qian vaguely guessed something in a moment. After these days, she has begun to develop a political mind and is no longer a political savvy.
That little girl is just confused and restless.
What's more, the Silver Queen has strictly limited the number of times she and her maids can go out these days. This move contains a hidden signal.
The situation in the empire has become increasingly tense day by day.
The queen has already taken action, and it seems that the target is the temple, but Qian still doesn't understand why the statue of the saint from the Lion Palace appears here, in front of her.
While Qian was confused, Sidney was also thinking that this was not the first time she had seen this charming little mountain girl - she had recently been made a countess, and also had the title of a mountain princess.
However, Sidney understood that this was not the true purpose of Her Majesty the Queen, who was determined to have her own way. Only by letting the mountain people marry a real imperial princess could they be tied to the Queen's chariot. It was a pity that this little girl was still confused and couldn't realize it.
"..." Qian opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end no sound came out.
"I'm here to find you." Sidney interrupted her with a slightly cold voice: "Her Majesty the Queen plans to marry you to Prince Hamuul to consolidate the relationship between her and the mountain people, and at the same time ensure that
You can stay in the empire."
Akane was slightly startled at first, and then she realized what she was doing and clenched her fists. The mountain girl bit her lower lip tightly. Although she didn't speak, her expression was enough to express her thoughts.
"It seems you don't agree. Do you want me to help you?"
"You...can...take me away?"
"No, I can't protect myself, but I want to see your lord, and I need your introduction. I can bring you a message."
Akane stared at her closely.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, there was only the torrential rain and the sound of rainwater washing against the stone wall.
It took a long time before the mountain girl murmured. It only lasted a moment, but Sidney had already seen her mouth shape clearly, and there were only six words:
"Save me, Lord."
