Late at night

After coming out of the adventurers Association in Wangdu, wuchou followed the route he had prepared this morning and approached the castle step by step.

Smoothly bypassing the guard at the door, wuchou finally entered the castle.

According to the agreed location, wuchou saw the princess's maid waiting for wuchou.

"Lord Jue, you finally came. I thought you wouldn't come."

The maid was relieved to see wuchou appear.

"So, what are you doing looking for me so late? Is there anything important?"

"Yes, actually, the princess, er, how to say, the princess is not the Lord's own daughter."

"Well, so?"

Although wuchou is a little surprised to know that the princess is not the Lord's own daughter, what's the problem with wuchou's coming here.

"The princess is very lonely. Although you see her enjoying the flowers quietly in the garden, in fact, the princess has been agreed to marry the debauchery Baron outside our king's capital."

"Because the Baron has a special identity and is a descendant of a foreign royal family, the Lord needs foreign power to enhance his power."

At this point, the maid looked at wuchou and continued.

"Awakened master, please, please help the princess. Only you can help the princess. As a awakened master, you may be able to."

Wuchou seems to guess what the other party is going to say.

"You mean, you want me to go."

"Yes, Lord jueshe, please ask him to marry the princess in front of the Lord. If it was you, the Lord might agree. After all, you have an important task and the hope of the world."

Wuchou really didn't expect that he would be so important. What kind of existence is the awakener for them.

"But, your princess, you may not agree."

"It's all right. That's why I took you to meet the princess tonight. The rest is up to you."

~ inside the castle ~

With many guards' clothes prepared by the maid, wuchou finally safely bypassed the guards in the castle and came to the princess's special single position.

The princess is located on a high tower in the innermost part of the castle, so that she can simply monitor her every move.

Wuchou successfully passed the maid's cover and finally came here.

~ princess's bedroom ~

Wuchou carefully opened the door, and the maid didn't follow and left.

In the room, wuchou saw that the real red princess was wearing a completely different dress, holding the window with one hand and looking at the full moon in the sky.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, the princess turned and saw that wuchou came in wearing a guard suit.

"Princess, are you looking for me?"

"Probably."

The princess sat by the bed and looked at the night outside the window.

"Awakened Lord, where have you been and what is the outside world like?"

"The outside world, well, interesting, but also dangerous."

"It's an interesting world. It's nice. I also want to see it."

The princess looked at the night and continued.

"I've been here since I was very young. Like a caged bird, I can only sing in this cage, but I can't see the outside world."

"It's too dangerous outside. That's what my father said. However, I also want to go out and see the outside world, even if I encounter danger."

The princess said and suddenly began to complain.

"In the past, my father would spend time talking to me about the outside world. When I got married, I could see it. But now, he has changed. Since that man came, he has changed."

The man?

Wuchou feels that the person the princess said may have something to do with all these things.

"Princess, that man, you're right."

At this time, wuchou and the princess heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. It seemed that someone was coming.

"Hide quickly."

As soon as the princess finished, the figure of wuchou has disappeared. It seems that wuchou is more careful than herself.

When she was in a good mood, the princess went to open the door.

"Father, why did you come to me so late?"

The LORD came in with his attendant clown and looked around the room. He really didn't find anything suspicious. He waved and asked the clown to leave first.

"Father?"

"My daughter, I, I feel very strange."

The Lord originally just wanted to come and see his daughter, but when he came in, he found something wrong with his body.

"No, what is it?"

The princess saw that black energy appeared on the Lord, as if controlling him.

"Father?"

Then, the princess looked at the Lord, stood up like crazy and jumped at the princess, pinching each other's neck with both hands.

"Ah, father!"

Looking at the strength of each other's hands, the princess knew that the other party was serious.

"Why?"

The sound is so small that it can't be spread out at all, and the clowns outside can't hear it.

At this time, wuchou, who was hiding on the side, finally couldn't help but come out, stun each other with a stick and save the princess who was almost strangled.

"Princess, what happened just now?"

"I don't know, but, father, maybe it's controlled by something."

Hearing something inside, the clown suddenly opened the door and came in. He saw wuchou standing with the princess, and the stunned Lord was beside them.

"Guard, guard!"

too bad

The worst happened.

Because of the clown's shouting, the guards came over and saw their Lord fall to the ground, while wuchou, who should not appear, was here.

"Don't move!"

Worry free nature will not resist. If you resist, there is really no room for turning around.

~ in the dungeon ~

PA, PA, PA

Clatter, clatter

The dungeon in the castle is about as wuchou expected. The whole dungeon looks very clean, but if you look carefully, you can see that many blood stains on the ground have been wiped clean, and many people in the cell look like serious malnutrition.

Wuchou was taken to an interrogation room. A hooded interrogator picked up the whip around him and beat wuchou, as if he were venting something.

"Awakened Lord, I didn't expect you to fall into my hand. It's incredible."

PA, PA

The whip fell on wuchou. Although wuchou didn't feel pain and didn't shout out, it was stubborn in the eyes of the interrogator.

"Oh, I can really bear it, but I'll see how long you can bear it!"

PA, PA

Maybe it's because wuchou hasn't been asked clearly, so he only used the whip. He smoked for a few hours. Wuchou still didn't say anything.

"Hehe, master Jue, don't worry. When the Lord wakes up and makes a decision, you will know my strength."
