Chapter 55, The Approaching Shadow

The Ritz Palace, in the master bedroom (Sid also lives in the cot), Sid and Celeste He stared at the flames burning in the fireplace and the iron pot hanging above the flames almost at the same time, and remained silent.

The temperature inside was warm and comfortable, the sound of the wind outside was beating against the unstable window structure, and the rays of light of flames and magic lamps shone on each other’s faces, cooling down the hot topic in the house.

The comfort and harmony of this period almost made Celeste forget that Sid was not really her servant, but a “mercenary” who was left by a contract, and when this relationship was due to Celeste’s When the request is temporarily put aside, Imperial Princess needs to find the right topic to cut to maintain her own initiative.

“Talk about yourself first.” Celeste couldn’t make the atmosphere so awkward, she leaned back on the soft sofa chair and said lightly, “Sid, do you have any memories of your childhood? Do you know Don’t know your own background? You obviously have a very good bloodline and a good innate talent, why do you want to be rotten all day now?”

“I don’t know anything about my background. You know, I was adopted by my adoptive parents when I had the concept.” Sid shook his head: “You investigate almost all my experiences, what else can I hide from you?”

“You didn’t Answer my bad questions.” Celeste said seriously: “Did your parents teach you?”

“My adoptive father is a very busy man, very busy, busier than a donkey in a mill.” Sid recalled an interesting childhood incident and wanted to laugh a little: “He is just a donkey, he only cares about work, my adoptive mother is a very attractive woman, she can always make the most delicious meals with the least amount of food, it’s just that I think She’s a little too charming sometimes.”

“?” The Imperial Princess, with a puzzled look on her face, picked up her wine and motioned Sid to continue.

“When we knelt down and prayed in church on Sunday, the priest would always stand in front of her for a long time.”

“pu!”

“cough cough…you are…really.” The red wine from the Imperial Princess’ mouth spurted out, splashing Sid’s face all over her face, she coughed and hurriedly sorted out her grooming, and a little sorry.

“It seems that you sprayed my face, my Imperial Princess?” Sid expressed helplessness.

“Sorry.” Celeste, who was blushing, quickly apologized. She took the silk scarf from her chest and took the initiative to help Sid wipe her face soaked in red wine.

This guy, must describe it that way? I can’t help myself!

Celeste was embarrassed and annoyed, seeing Sid’s innocent face and knowing it wasn’t his fault.

As the Imperial Princess moves, a pendant falls out of her chest, instantly attracting all Sid’s attention!

The second Void Realm Divine Item, Angel Tears!

Angel’s Tears is a small sculpture of an angel without a head and a broken arm. The whole body of the sculpture is carved from a single piece of pure white warm jade. It is hung on Celeste using two silver chains. ‘s chest.

This thing really is on the Imperial Princess!

Sid immediately identified the target, he would not feel wrong, this is the second Void Realm Divine Item that the Ring True God is looking for.

The Imperial Princess’ minions can’t help but get emotional, and after two weeks, they’ve finally made some progress! At this speed, I might be able to collect all seven Divine Items in five or six years!

Now that it’s fixed, it’s just a matter of planning how to get it, which makes Sid look a little relieved, which is clearly reflected in his facial expression, he looks a little happy and a little enjoying .

What Sid didn’t expect, however, was that his look as it should be by rights fell into Celeste’s eyes.

In the sight of the Imperial Princess, at this time, the personal bodyguard not only secretly stared at his chest, but also wiped his face himself, showing a satisfied and gratified look.

What does this mean?

It seems that it is not so difficult to take Sid for your own use!

The Imperial Princess knows how to use her strengths too well.

In this way, the young men and women who were originally with swords drawn and bows bent were inexplicably in a better mood.

“After talking about me, let’s talk about you, I know almost nothing about you, my highness.” Sid couldn’t help but say two words when he was in a good mood: “Before I Among the women you know, you are almost all different from them.”

“Do you know many women?!” Who knew that the soft eyes of Imperial Princess immediately sharpened as soon as she said these words, and her gorgeous eyes became sharper. The purple pupil immediately bit Sid’s face, squinting slightly and dangerously: “Yeah, you are already beautiful, you will never lack the love of women or even men, and you can talk like that.”

“Is this important?” Sid also leaned back, with an indifferent attitude on his face: “I used to be the middleman of mercenaries, my highness, but now I am your servant, it’s that simple.”

Why does this kid still want to run away? Celeste was unhappy, and it was naturally reflected in her words: “Do you know what those people outside call you?”

“What?”

“‘The Imperial Princess’s Little milk dog’, you must understand, Sid, if I hadn’t sheltered you, you would have been tied back to full-time production by others, and it was I who protected you.”

“Ah yes ↑ yes ↑ yes ↑” Sid thought it wasn’t because of you, but he had no intention of arguing with Celeste but diverted the subject: “You paid me so much money to hire me, not to mention a puppy, a puppy is fine.”

Sid was half-joking, but Celeste’s mind instantly popped up Sid kneeling in front of her to show her obedience, she stretched out her feet wrapped in deep red thick stockings and high-heeled short boots, and then Sid humiliated again He slowly moved over excitedly…

“Let’s continue with our last question.” Seeing the unpredictable expression on Celeste’s face, Sid didn’t know what she was thinking, so he quickly interrupted her with a topic : “You are indeed different from some of the daughters of the Nobili family that I know, is it because of your mother?”

“Mr. Sid, I hope you understand one thing.” Speaking of his parents, The face of the glamorous Imperial Princess suddenly changed: “My family is my family affairs, please don’t talk about my family affairs without my permission, otherwise don’t blame me for breaking the contract!”

Celeste’s reaction Darling Sid’s heart moved, he let Celeste stare at him, until she looked away before slowly said:

“The Imperial Family’s family affairs are state affairs.”

Sid lightly said: “As for personal matters, my lord, as the Imperial Princess, you have no personal matters, if you always handle things with such emotions, but I have nothing to say, I wish that things would end immediately, you pay me the remaining money, yes For a mercenary like me, it is quite normal to take on different commissions and change to different employers.”

Is the Imperial Family’s family affairs a state affair?

As Imperial Princess, you have no personal affairs?

Celeste froze.

The Imperial Princess chewed this sentence carefully, a thousand thoughts pouring into her mind, she never thought that Sid would say such a profound motto.

I, have no personal affairs?

She stared blankly at Sid for a moment.

Sid is busy with his head down and cooking.

The sound of knives and forks hitting the dinner plate continued, and after a long time, the Imperial Princess muttered to herself, not knowing if she was telling Sid: “I want to say, my status in the court. It’s not high…”

“Stop!!! This is your personal business, my lord.” Sid quickly wiped his mouth with a napkin to indicate that he was full, he frivolously put down the napkin and hurriedly did it with both hands A “T” gesture: “Stop, stop, don’t talk, I don’t really want to hear it, Your Highness, not everyone is interested in the Imperial Family thing, I don’t want to cause a killing disaster!”

“dong!” The table top jolted violently, the silver tableware full of seats trembled, the cutlery and fork goblet vibrated up and down, aperitif, wine, liqueur spilled out, and blue veins appeared on Celeste’s forehead and slapped the table heavily. .

She really wants to throw Sid in the fireplace now!

Wow, look at this Sid, he eats a lot and is disobedient, so why not bake him!

The Imperial Princess quickly realized that she had lost self-control, she said slightly sarcastically: “One moment I said that my family affairs are state affairs, another moment I said that I have no personal affairs, but I said you and said no. Listen, Sid, didn’t the mercenary practice teach you to do things for the employer if you take money?”

“I only do what I can and should do, my highness, not everyone If you are so interested in state affairs, for example, I’m not interested, and I don’t want to know about your family affairs.” Sid said with a smile: “I just want to spoil.”

“get lost! Immediately Disappear in front of me!” The Imperial Princess only felt an evil fire rushed to her forehead in an instant, and she burst out a brand new order from her teeth: “Now!”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Sid got up immediately and disappeared into the room at a very fast speed, leaving only the Imperial Princess sulking.

A few minutes later, Celeste suddenly realized that not only was this guy taking the initiative in the topic, he was even arousing his emotions!

This will not work, she plans to move back to Yicheng immediately.

But Sid didn’t come back. The Imperial Princess waited for more than an hour, the hot pot was about to dry out, and Sid still didn’t come back.

Imperial Princess, who knew she had given the wrong order, had to call the maid herself to come in to clean up the dinner. Celeste did not and impossible took the initiative to go out to find Sid. This is a matter of principle.

There are actually a lot of maids in the Ritz Palace, but because of the previous incident, Celeste did not trust them at all, even though the maids who came in today looked strange, with a horse face and disproportionate facial features, Celeste did not trust them at all. Just let her clean up and go out.

She recognizes this maid, strange-looking but agile, and she was there when she came here.

The maid silently cleaned up the dinner scene. When she was almost finished, the Imperial Princess immediately said, “Go out when you’re done.”

“Yes.” The maid withdrew.

After the maid had exited, Celeste looked up at the closed door alertly.

Just now she felt that the maid seemed to be staring at her for a while?

Forget it, maybe out of curiosity, Celeste lowered her head again and continued to read the dossier.

Coming out of the room, the maid’s mouth showed a twisted smile, and the black almond eyes suddenly turned into scarlets with a ring snake spinning rapidly. After blinking a few times, the maid returned to normal immediately.

New information, “Guardian” has left.

It is possible to inform the saints that they are ready to act.

…………I am the dividing line of hands-on…………

After more than two weeks, Sid finally left the Ritz Palace for the first time, he was breathing The fresh air outside, sighing the preciousness of freedom, facing the empty and far-reaching dark night sky, Sid spread his arms, moved towards the distant Lin Hai, and shouted involuntarily against the white eyes of the nearby Black Eagle guards:

“Freedom!”

Listening to the echo with satisfaction, Sid set off quickly, ignoring everything around him.

After finally finding an opportunity, he finally got out of the cage temporarily, and bought himself some time by deliberately misinterpreting the Imperial Princess’ order to understand it as “get out of here”, but Sid knew that he still To go back, because he has taken over the mission of the Imperial Princess.

Sid is very professional, and the Imperial Princess gave him so much money, he will naturally do things well, or try his best to do it well.

After coming out of the manor, along the path paved with dirt, Sid, who opened his falcon’s eyes to confirm the direction, replayed the conversation between the two just now. In fact, Celeste had fainted in an instant. Kind of willing to tell him a little about her own experience, but Sid tells her to brake quickly.

Because after getting along for a period of time, Sid found that Celeste is a woman who lacks love very much. Although Sid does not know the past of Imperial Princess, but according to her words and the information that can be collected from the outside world You can guess what kind of lonely life she experienced in the capital.

If this woman with a strong desire to control and a micromanipulator hobby really tells Sid something about herself, she will regard this behavior as her great kindness to Sid, and then generate expect.

This woman is accustomed to her high status and the excellence of her two ultimate creatures’ big brothers. She can imagine what level her high expectations for herself will be.

Thinking of this, Sid shook his head with a wry smile. He didn’t want to meet this expectation.

Although Imperial Princess is very strong and intelligent, and every corner of her body grows on his XP, but Sid is clear-headed: based on the identity of both parties, three views, status and position In other words, it is difficult for them to have a future unless a miracle occurs.

Don’t think about it anymore, Sid moved quickly along the path, he went to the Light Elf Trading Station to check the “Chaos Selection” given to him by the elder sister, and by the way, do some extra for the next thing. Prepare.

The dark sky seems to be covered with filthy thick ink on the night sky, neither the moon nor the stars can be seen, even though Wolf Castle is a relatively wealthy city in the Wolf Principality, it is impossible everywhere. It was illuminated by magic lights, and the surroundings were completely dark, with no fingers visible.

The wolf fort is very quiet at night, the panic of the opening incident is not so easily eliminated, martial law is still in effect, civilians lock their doors and windows to sleep at night, even nobles and powerhouses act cautiously , for fear of being targeted by the legendary “murderer”.

Yes, the official did not admit the existence of devil believers and false religion on the surface, but the matter was more complicated than the use of the name “murderer”, and they did their best to suppress this matter , however, too many rip-opening incidents are already showing signs of being overwhelmed.

Hope there won’t be any major events, Sid thought to himself.

However, Sid didn’t even finish reading this sentence in his mind, screams were heard on the street outside several hundred meters, torches were set on fire, patrols, religious warriors and citizens The cries are endless!

Oops, something happened! Sid quickly moved towards the accident site and ran.

“Someone was disemboweled!”

“It’s Mr. Walter Schell!”

“Jupiter, what a blasphemy! “

“Get out of the way!”

More and more people crowded the streets, more than a hundred torches lighted up the night sky, Sid crowded by his special appearance. Drive the crowd and come to the front to ask nearby residents.

It was Walter Schell, the dispatch officer of Holy Empire, a happy and good man who liked to sing. The neighbors around him praised his kindness and kindness. The body of such a good man was killed Hanging on his doorstep, along with a Temple Guard of the Church of Heaven and a Wolf Champion Warrior of the Wolf Principality!

And the most frightening thing is that the perpetrators not only dismembered the dispatch officer, but also fused the corpses of the Temple Guard and the three champion warriors together! Appearing in front of the crowd is a bloody suture of the six legs of the Three Heads Six Arms.

This is no ordinary suture, Sid uses the Falcon’s Eye to check it a little and is cold: the suture position is perfect and without blemish, there is no rough mark, and the magic is used very thoughtfully Let the flesh fusion wound disappear.

A sentence is written on the body of the corpse.

“It’s your turn~ it’s time for you~”

Is this done by the False Teaching? What the hell do you want to do? Sid’s heart shook.

“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

“The blocker execute without any mercy!”

“We will take over here in the name of Jupiter, everyone will go back to sleep immediately, and those who violate the order will be punished with heresy!”

There were bursts of roars from behind.

The Magistrate Huten, the imperial judge, approached quickly with a whole team of religious warriors.

Review Magistrate? ! Sid quickly got into the crowd and escaped.

He suddenly felt less uncomfortable being around the Imperial Princess now.

Go home when you’re done!

Updated, ask for tickets!
