The Amber Sword

About an hour later, the knights finally sent a message from the front: "An exit was found above, Your Highness. ”

“Looks like we got the right place.” Antitina also saw the tension of Her Royal Highness, comforting: “Although the process has been somewhat tortuous, at least not completely hopeless, according to the response of the Grand Duke of Rantoniland in his letter, at least they are on our side, with the military power of Valhalla, and these conspiracy schemes can only remain at the stage of conspiracy schemes. ”

“Thank you, Antina, I understand, I'm just worried about Haruze. ”

“He is a student of His Majesty the Lord, who has not only taught His Highness Haruze swordsmanship, but, as a sister, perhaps His Royal Highness should be more confident in His Majesty the future King of Eruyin. ”

Eluin's eldest princess nodded.

The knights soon took control of the exit of the secret passage outside, which was already in the misty forest, and there was said to be a hunter's cabin nearby, but it had been abandoned for a long time. The White Lion Guard knights found a lot of military-style weapons in that cabin, which, although already corroded, should appear to be a secret stronghold for the Denel family, whose appearance is merely a disguise.

Having established this, Antittina and Princess Griffin finally settled down. Under the care of the knights, Freya was the first of the three to take the exit of the secret passage, and then the martial arts held Her Royal Highness's hand and helped her out of it.

Although the elf's eyes quickly adapted to the changes of strong and weak light, when suddenly in the sun, Princess Griffin couldn't help but squint her eyes.

And at this moment, she suddenly heard a sharp whistle in her ear.

“Your Highness, be careful! ”

She heard Freya scream, and then a heavy object hit her, and the tremendous impulse made her fall back and the vest hit the wall of the secret passage.

Then there was a noise, one of which was supposed to be the sound of wind and fire, followed by a human howl, and finally the sound of weapons fighting.

She heard the goddess of martial arts hum, and then all the voices subsided, when Her Highness saw what lay on herself - a corpse, a white lion knight who had lost his head, blood pouring out in the blood vessels and trachea that had broken her neck, making her stink.

Griffin withstood the urge to vomit and she shrunk backwards one by one, and Antina pulled her backwards in that direction. But the matter could not be thought of by two people. Soon a pair of cold iron gloves came in from outside the cave. Grabbing Her Royal Highness's hair, Griffin made a scream and was dragged out by the latter.

She screamed and grabbed the wall with her hands, scratching her fingertips and scratching the bleeding, but was dragged out and thrown aside.

Griffin opened his eyes and saw Freya lying flat beside herself with closed eyes, a long wound on her chest, unknown of life and death.

Princess Griffin's heart snapped and she subconsciously grabbed Miss Wushu's cold hand - fortunately, she could still see a warm pulse. But she didn't have time to say anything, and the iron gloves grabbed her slim neck and pulled her up and shouted at her in the direction of the cave:

“Everyone in there, come out, or I'll kill these people. ”

Griffin felt swollen and painful when she had been hit earlier and could barely open her eyes, but she still saw Miss Clerk and the other two knights slowly coming out of the secret passage.

Of the more than a dozen people who accompanied them, there seemed to be only so few left in a moment.

Princess Griffin saw those cold bodies falling on the ground, among them the woman from Antina, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with an arrow in her chest and an empty eye staring directly over the forest.

She couldn't help but close her eyes when she thought that the young girl had made herself up just a little while ago, marveling at her beauty.

The other side was stronger than she imagined.

Brando left behind the White Lion Guard, one of the best in Eruin, and the average local aristocratic militia, even tenfold in size, may not necessarily be able to take the upper hand in the frontal battle, but these enemies now kill almost everyone in a moment's time.

She noticed that most of the people who did it were witches.

A total of seventeen or eight people, wearing grey robes, even covered their faces under the hood. So many practitioners, like the Rantoniland rebellion described in the Highland Knights' letter, are in no way the pens that nobles in those parts of the South can come up with.

“Who's the princess? ”

The black knight who grabbed her asked in a rough tone.

Griffin looked up slightly, somewhat puzzled - the people who came to arrest them didn't recognize her? Are they really the nobles of Eruin?

“Take away all the women, there are always people in the nobility who know her.” One voice replied.

“No,” but the wizards shook their heads: "These people cannot be seen by the nobles, they are our prisoners, and don't worry, we have our own way of identifying them. ”

He told one of the wizards to take out a gem, and Griffin almost screamed when he saw it. It's a Goering gem, legend has it that it was once part of the Lion's Heart Sword, but it was first used by King Acme to cast a crown that has always been the treasure of the Sifah family, a gem that possesses the same power as the Lion's Heart Sword - to confirm the authenticity of the Royal family of Eluin.

The crown remained in the Sifah family, but after the Ambethel war, and with the series of unrest that followed the Sifah family, the crown and the stone went missing, and she specifically asked her brother Levine about it? Erneson, but apparently the other party doesn't know about this either.

But how did it end up in these people's hands?

Who the hell are these people?

Gryphine had a moment of confusion in her heart.

Antina obviously saw the stone at this time, and she was equally surprised. And when she saw that the Black Armor knight was taking over the stone from the wizards, she suddenly stepped forward and interrupted these humanities:

“This is the gem of Goering. It is the treasure of our Eluin. How can it be in your hands? Who are you? ”

“Huh?” The wizard glanced slightly and suddenly threw the stone at him like a worthless stone, then said sternly to Antitina, "You, pick it up. ”

Antitina took a silent look at the gem that rolled to her feet.

Then she raised her head and looked again at Her Royal Highness, the princess with the swollen nose.

“Let go of my maid first, and I have the right to ask you to do so. ”

“Interesting.” The wizard hummed, and he made a gesture against the Black Armor knight, who immediately loosened his griffin, and the half fairy princess fell on her knees, holding her chest in tears, a purple wound around her neck, barely speaking, and gasped.

Antitina looked at Her Royal Highness with some reluctance, and she hesitated for a moment before slowly bending down and picking up the gem.

“Antina, don't.” Princess Griffin was in such a hurry that she could not speak and could only desperately show the lady of the staff with her eyes. These people were ruthless and if they found out that Antina was cheating on them, they would probably rip her to pieces in an instant.

Miss Freya's life and death are now unknown. If Antina dies here again, she has no idea how to tell Brando.

But it was at this time that the elder princess was suddenly stuck.

In everyone's eyes, the perfectly cut Golan gemstone is burning slowly in Antina's hands - the center of the gemstone seemingly lit a flame that slowly expanded outwards, finally becoming bright and flawless, with soft light in all directions.

“Beautiful,” the wizard saw the scene and couldn't help but admire it. Then he bent down and bowed his head to the lady of the staff for a gift: "So, Your Highness, you will have to come with us. ”

“This Golan gem? ”

“You can have it," the wizard replied arrogantly and politely before, “its role for us is over. ”

Saying, the wizard turned around and commanded all the Black Armor knights in the woods: “Clean the battlefield, leave this place, and take all those who are still alive, don't forget the lady and her sword. ”

He pointed to Freya and the Lion Heart Sword on the ground.

Antitina watched the scene in silence, holding the Goering gem in her hand.

Her gaze slowly shifted towards Princess Griffin, but she saw the half-Pokémon girl staring at her, her silver eyes all pitiful and overwhelmed.

……

It is often the dream of a mortal who awakens from all the darkness and obscurity and chaotic ignorance.

When Griffin opened his eyes tirelessly, but what he saw was still pitch black, the tent blocked the foggy forest from the bright night sky and the sparkling stars, the bug's wings coming from outside the tent, squeaking, like a song at night.

The sound of a woman screaming and crying came from a distant camp, and the princess's heart tightened independently, as if she had entered another nightmare from one nightmare, but the latter was more real, as if the knife had cut her heart open. She heard her heart pounding, proof that she was still alive, and she was afraid to distinguish from those voices the cry of the lady of the staff - but fortunately, as a more important prisoner, Antitina was now carefully protected.

With this in mind, the Princess Griffith climbed up from the ground, unable to cope with her pain, and as the maid of Her Royal Highness, she was honored, and the rebels prepared a blanket for her and Freya, but that was all.
