Nora’s eyes were still fixed on Thanatos’s face.
“Duplicity.” A few seconds later, she looked away, and her eyes fell on a blur of building under the night in the distance. Nora muttered with her cheeks puffed up.
Then she stopped talking, turned around slowly, and strode away with a smile on her face. ‘Don’t worry. I won’t let you down.’
In the lobby.
Beside Nora, seeing that she was absent-minded, Dorothy asked cautiously, “Your Highness?”
Hearing this, Nora came back from her memory.
She smiled slightly, motioning that she was fine. Then she told them about the appearance of the depraved organization in Lister.
Hearing the news about the depraved organization, Dorothy’s face was very serious. After thinking for a while, she said slowly, “it seems that the depraved organization may have a bigger conspiracy. Your Highness, don’t worry. I will report this to the king and strengthen the surveillance everywhere.”
Nora nodded and said in a deep voice, “Spread out the portrait of Will Brandon and let the member of the No. 9 team pay close attention to it. Maybe we can find the depraved organization through him.”
Dorothy bowed slightly to show his understanding.
After arranging the affairs of the depraved organization, there was nothing else. Nora took a sip of tea leisurely and asked, “What has happened in the Kingdom recently?”
“Nothing serious has happened in our country,” Dorothy shook his head and said. Then he added with a slight pause, “But recently, it’s the time of the Barker Kingdom’s military training. Just like what happened in the past years, the Barker Kingdom has frequently held military drills on the border of the two countries in the past week.”
After thinking for a moment, Nora said, “Although the strength of the Barker Kingdom is not strong, we have to guard against it.”
Dorothy nodded in agreement. “His majesty has given an order that all the garrisons enter a wartime state so that we can deal with emergencies in time.”
“In addition, after incident No. 28, the Beavis and Parr families were honest and did not take any action, but their criminal evidence has been collected. Unfortunately, no information about the depraved organization has been found.”
Hearing that, Nora nodded slightly and said in a plain tone, “Since they are useless, then find several ministers and submit the evidence. It’s very kind of them to live for so long.”
In the distance, Karami was still in a daze. She stared blankly at Nora who was as calm and decisive as a queen.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Dorothy bowed.
After finishing her words, Nora was about to leave. She walked slowly towards Karami.
Seeing Nora walking toward her, Karami became nervous for a moment. It seemed that she hadn’t adapted to Nora’s new identity yet. “Your Highness…” she stammered.
“You are still so cute, Karami.” Rubbing her face, Nora laughed and turned around, leaving the stunned girl behind.
In the following days, Lister was still developing rapidly.
After the field investigation of Cape count, he began to plan the development of the three new lands.
As for Locke, he stayed in the practicing room for ten whole days before coming out.
In the past ten days, Hephaestus’s fondness for him was broke through friendly, while Thanatos’s fondness broke through neutral. The system awarded a weapon upgrade card, which upgraded the Sword in the Stone to level-7.
On the second day after Locke finished his retreat, the Vic family, located in the east of the Grimm Kingdom, rebelled and declared that they would break away from the Grimm Kingdom and become an independent country. King Temple was furious and dispatched 200 thousand troops stationed in King City to suppress the rebellion.
Just as King City was concentrating on suppressing the rebellion, the Barker Kingdom, which was holding a military exercise in the north, invaded the Grimm Kingdom on a large scale and occupied Mars County at the back side of the Grimm Kingdom in a short time. Hearing the news, the whole country was in an uproar, and the residents of Grimm Kingdom were all indignant.
“What? Radon City, Monribury City, and Nabame City have also been captured?”
Hearing the news, the court was in an uproar.
On the highest throne, King Temple looked gloomy. How dare the little Barker Kingdom start a war! And the Vic family even conspired to rebel at this time…
“Your Majesty, the Barker Kingdom is definitely premeditated for a long time! I’m begging to lead the troops to fight and kill the invaders on our land!”
The one who spoke was a tall, armored old general.
“I grant it!”
King Temple agreed in a deep voice.
The war was on the verge of breaking out. The originally peaceful Grimm Kingdom was in flames of war.
Naton County, which was located in the north of Grimm Kingdom, was not adjoining the Barker Kingdom. However, after the invasion of the Barker Kingdom, Marquis Hyman also went to the battlefield with fifty thousand soldiers.
Although the war had begun in the north, the life of Naton County didn’t seem to be affected too much. In Grimm Kingdom’s impression, the Barker Kingdom was just a barbaric Kingdom living in the north. It was not strong. Attacking the Grimm Kingdom was to plunder some resources and improve its voice.
Naton County.
At dusk, the sunset dyed the magnificent clouds red. Looking far away, the city with shadows spread far away under the clouds,
On the rooftop, everyone was sitting leisurely.
Nora supported her head with her hands and looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance obsessively.
About half an hour later, the setting sun merged into the distant mountain peaks, leaving only a few golden clouds in the sky. At the same time, the clouds gradually dissipated.
Nora stood up slowly and looked away reluctantly.
“Everyone.”
She took a deep breath and said sincerely, “Thank you for taking care of me for so many days. But now I have to take the responsibility and do what I should do.”
“Are you going back to King City?” Looking at Nora, Locke paused and asked. In fact, when the war began, he also predicted that Nora might leave soon.
Nora shook her head and said in a deep voice, “I’m going to the battlefront. According to the latest news I’ve got, the army of the Kingdom has been defeated.”
Locke was surprised to hear that. Generally speaking, the strength of the Barker Kingdom wasn’t strong enough to require the princess to fight in person. Was there something that happened?
Nora sighed and said, “There are several masters of level-7 in the army of the Barker Kingdom. After two battles, the Grimm Kingdom is at a disadvantage. The troop morale is unstable and low. And Grandfather Jeremy is also entangled by the masters of the Vic family, unable to escape.”
Locke nodded. At this time, Nora’s appearance was indeed enough to boost the troops’ morale. He looked at Nora and asked, “When will you leave?”
“Everything is ready.”
Nora smiled and continued, “I’m leaving soon.”
