"Ro-Lente" occupies a vast area, especially near the Francia Palace, featuring extensive gardens and empty lawns adorned with decorative fountains.
And at this moment!
A large number of people have unknowingly gathered here, with elite soldiers in full armor surrounding the perimeter.
First Prince Barbro, Second Prince Zanac, and Third Princess Renner are all present.
Such a large commotion has attracted the attention of the entire royal capital, but the surrounding elite soldiers, coupled with the status of the two princes and the princess, prevent even some high-ranking nobles from approaching without permission.
However, the cause of the matter is not difficult to investigate in this drafty royal capital.
According to information circulating among the maids serving the princess.
The adventurer teams "Blue Rose" and "Free Will," invited by Princess Renner, had a dispute and intend to resolve the issue in the manner of adventurers.
On the empty, verdant lawn.
The crowd stood on the edge, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the center of the lawn.
The development of events completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Princess Renner clasped her hands together, her blue eyes looking at the scene with worry, but deep down, she remained calm, albeit with a hint of strangeness.
This was not within her plan, and even the appearance of her two elder brothers did not surprise her as much.
In the center of the lawn.
Evileye and Minori stood facing each other, calmly gazing at one another.
Of course.
Due to the mask obscuring Evileye's face, Minori could not observe the expression on her face.
"The development of events has become somewhat interesting."
Minori's eyes flickered slightly as he quickly pondered the course of events in the slightly chaotic situation.
"Evileye's" actions are definitely not due to that set of assassin magic items.
First of all.
Minori already knows Princess Renner's true purpose, which is the "Eight Fingers'" slavery department. This is not difficult to guess, as the proposal to abolish slavery has already been passed at the beginning of the plot.
And now it's just happening earlier. In the original timeline, Minori could guess some of Renner's motives for abolishing slavery, but the current motive is even easier to guess.
Renner is building an army!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Renner has already completed the formation, but the control of the entire army has nothing to do with Princess Renner, because the support is provided by the Second Prince.
No money, no resources, and even fewer people!
In this case, Renner will inevitably take action. The fundamental purpose of inviting Minori is to show that she knows the connection between Leinas and Minori, thereby gaining his support.
"Eight Fingers" is a huge piece of fat.
"Blue Rose" is nothing more than a bargaining chip, and even a hidden check.
The members of "Blue Rose" should not have realized this. Lakyus is too close to Renner, but Gagaran and others are different.
And the arrival of the two princes cannot be hidden from these experts present.
Gagaran suddenly asked Lakyus to talk about "serious matters" because she didn't want Lakyus to violate the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, or even get involved in politics.
In order to avoid the reaction caused by the arrival of the two princes.
But—
Evileye directly overturned the entire situation with the words "decide the ownership of the spoils in the manner of adventurers."
Catching everyone off guard.
The advantage of doing so is that no matter what the two princes want to do, they can no longer continue the discussion.
"There should be another reason."
Minori's priest robe, hanging naturally, swayed with the breeze. He raised his foot and loosened the green grass he was stepping on, allowing the blades of grass to reappear:
"The [Ninja's] passive ability, 'Conceal Presence,' can even evade magical detection methods."
"But facing Evileye, who has a higher level and possesses the vampire race, she may be able to intuitively sense something unusual, so she wants to experiment herself."
The entire process has been clarified.
A flash of light appeared in Minori's eyes.
Evileye, through her mask, watched Minori's small movements and a deep, heavy voice came from behind the mask: "What are you doing?"
"I just think that a lot of these flowers and plants will die in the upcoming battle." Minori glanced at the beautiful lawn and said with some regret.
"Oh, so now you want to 'refuse'? Just like you refused twice in a row in the hall just now." Evileye said calmly, without any emotional fluctuations.
Minori shook his head, raised his eyes, and looked at the short figure wrapped in a red robe opposite him.
According to Renner's plan, Blue Rose will definitely assist in dealing with "Eight Fingers."
At that time, Minori will also benefit a lot.
He can let Imina take over more departments of "Eight Fingers" smoothly, and he can also take the opportunity to learn some new magic and technology from Evileye and others.
But!
He doesn't care about these boring things at all.
Now, Evileye is right in front of him.
And—
Minori's eyes became calm. He didn't come to cooperate with this golden princess.
Just relying on language and wisdom to influence two adventurer teams is underestimating the "strong"!
Being in the palace all the time.
You will never understand the power of those top experts, and you will never understand that these people will not be easily swayed.
Cooperation?
That is on the premise of equality between the two parties, and Princess Renner is not worthy.
The simplest and most brutal way to prove this is to show strength!
From the beginning to the end, what needs to be proven is not "Free Will", but Renner as a princess, to prove that she can serve "Free Will"!
"Language is sometimes pale and powerless."
Minori looked at Evileye and said softly: "The most direct way for adventurers to communicate with each other has never been through language."
Although the battle proposed by Evileye was unexpected by everyone, Minori felt that the timing was perfect.
Evileye raised her head, as if carefully examining Minori, and suddenly said: "Compared to before, I actually admire you a little now."
"Oh? That's my honor."
Minori smiled casually.
As the two fell silent again, an invisible wave of magic power emanated from their bodies, faintly forming a pressure that spread in all directions.
The people standing on the periphery had different emotions.
The loose flesh on Second Prince Zanac's face twitched, his eyes shifted, and he glanced at Princess Renner, who looked worried: "What exactly is going on?"
"Brother, this matter is my fault."
Princess Renner hurriedly lowered her hands in front of her chest and bowed to the Second Prince and the First Prince.
Her golden hair fell down.
Princess Renner's deep blue eyes stared at the ground, and a terrifying desire flickered in her eyes.
The brief exchange in the hall gave her a satisfaction that Climb could not provide.
If Climb's existence made Princess Renner feel comforted, then Minori, who could understand what she was saying and knew what she was going to do.
It was as if Renner, who was alone in the desert, suddenly had someone standing in front of her and handing her a glass of water.
However, the situation in front of her.
Princess Renner realized that Lakyus could not completely influence Evileye, just as she could not influence Lord Minori at all.
She couldn't keep him by her side like Climb.
This feeling… made her a little frantic.
Princess Renner stood up, the expression on her face returned to worry, her slender fingers clenched tightly, and her fingertips were a little white due to excessive force.
When Climb saw the princess apologize for this matter, he was a little excited and wanted to explain for Princess Renner.
But he knew that he must not speak at this time. The current situation has already damaged the princess's face.
He couldn't make things worse.
If possible, Climb would rather Miss Evileye of "Blue Rose" teach the leader of "Free Will" a hard lesson.
Climb quickly suppressed the thought in his heart and looked nervously at the two people on the lawn. He still hoped that they wouldn't fight.
This place is close to the Francia Palace, and high-ranking nobles or foreign guests often pass by here. The royal family has always advocated elegance, splendor, and aristocratic style.
The damage caused by the two people's battle will further affect the princess. It wouldn't be impossible to change the location to another training ground.
Climb felt that his mind was a little confused, and he also felt his weakness, unable to do anything.
"Is that so."
Second Prince Zanac stared at Princess Renner, a smile that was not a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the tall and burly First Prince Barbro:
"Brother, who do you think will win?"
First Prince Barbro narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "Both of them are adventurers of the kingdom. No matter who wins or loses, we need to try our best to avoid any damage. Any loss is a loss to the kingdom."
After saying this.
First Prince Barbro glanced at the "Blue Rose" group and the "Free Will" group on both sides.
"Tch."
Second Prince Zanac sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, even a big brother with a stupid head will be smart at critical moments.
The reason why the two of them went to Renner's palace was naturally for the "Free Will" adventurer team.
As for "Blue Rose", their leader Lakyus has the best relationship with Renner, and her identity is special, so there is almost no possibility of winning her over.
Compared to "Blue Rose", "Free Will" is clearly more valuable in the eyes of the two princes.
"Cough."
First Prince Barbro coughed lightly and said righteously:
" Leinas, Gazef, if anything unexpected happens in the field, immediately save the two of them."
"Yes." Gazef nodded solemnly.
With such a big event happening in the palace, Gazef, as the Warrior-Captain, naturally rushed over as soon as possible, and also protected the princes and others.
Leians's mouth twitched and said lightly: "Understood."
She didn't think she could stop her master, and she had never seen her master use her full strength.
The people of the kingdom are different from the empire. They don't advocate magic at all, so they don't understand the horror of truly powerful magic.
First Prince Barbro put his hands behind his back and nodded with satisfaction on his serious face.
Gazef is the father's man, and Lakyus is Princess Renner's man, but Zanac, this good brother, should be supporting her behind the scenes.
He has the highest status at the scene, and they cannot object to issuing such an order. Even if something really happens, it's not his loss anyway.
