Chapter 569

"I will never bet on the dignity of Campbell's name."

"...I hope so."

In Cecilia's eyes, which were like a frozen lake, Mu En was reflected at the moment.

It was a beast that was secretly sharpening its claws, suppressing its emotions, reason, and anger.

"What about you?"

Mu En suddenly asked.

"Me?"

"Yes, now seeing this scene, Cecilia, do you still want to choose to watch?"

Mu En stared at Cecilia's eyes, trying to capture a clear emotion from the frozen lake.

"...Me?"

But Cecilia closed her eyes and hid everything deeper:

"Let me meet my father first...then talk about it."

108. Dealing with

Streets, alleys.

The lady holding an umbrella walked slowly.

Her skirt fluttered and her steps were elegant. If it were normal, she would attract many passers-by to stop and admire.

But in this dim street, no matter how many sharp eyes swept through the hidden places on the street, none of them stopped at the figure holding the umbrella.

It was as if the figure did not exist in their vision.

The girl's umbrella gently rotated, and she walked straight through the street, stepped into the courtyard, walked through the corridor, passed by several teams of cautious patrolling knights, and finally came to the deepest part of the courtyard.

"Knock knock knock."

She knocked on the door.

"Get out."

A cold and angry voice came from the room:

"Didn't I say it? I have been staying in the room and have not gone anywhere. Don't disturb me!"

"..."

Listening to the familiar voice, Cecilia raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said in a cold voice that was exactly the same as it, which outsiders could not distinguish at all:

"Open the door, it's me."

There was silence inside, followed by a chaotic sound of tables and chairs clanging and something falling to the ground. The cold atmosphere just now was swept away in an instant.

The door opened, revealing a sneaky face.

After seeing that the cold figure outside could not be fake, the sneaky face finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"President, you are finally back."

"Yeah."

Cecilia put away the "Single Complaint" in her hand and walked into the room.

"Good disguise."

"Hehe, just so-so, it can only deceive outsiders who are not familiar with the princess."

Weier scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"Abnormal...seems to be."

"Seems?"

Cecilia looked at Wei'er.

"Well, I don't know what those guys from the Royal Knights are crazy about. They came to ask me if I was there several times in the middle of the night and wanted me to go out and meet them in person."

Cecilia's eyes flashed when she heard this:

"Do you remember those knights?"

"I remember!"

Weier puffed out her chest and said proudly:

"How could I not pay attention to something that is obviously problematic? I secretly left a rubbing magic outside. Their appearance should have been recorded. I'll give it to you now."

Weier trotted all the way, wandered around the door, and handed a very inconspicuous small magic prop to Cecilia.

Cecilia infused magic power, and soon several pictures appeared, recognizing that they were all royal knights guarding this courtyard.

"Well, you did a good job."

Cecilia flipped through them, remembered those faces, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although this secretary of mine is lazy and homebody, and is also a dead rotten girl who loves forbidden love, she is still very reliable when she is locked up, otherwise I would not trust her with such an important task.

"But, speaking of it, President."

After Cecilia came back, Wei'er, who already felt relieved, put her chubby face on the table and said with a decadent look:

"Why did you come back so long? I was almost exposed just now. It was really scary."

"Just to do something."

"Really just to do something? What is there that requires you to go out for so long at night?"

Wei'er's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a kind of gossip flame burned in her heart:

"President, you are not going on a date with that Moon Campbell, are you?"

"..."

Cecilia raised her head silently, without saying much, only the blade hidden in the umbrella handle suddenly came out of the sheath a few centimeters.

Click.

In Wei'er's dull eyes, the collectible edition of the Prince x Evil Villain Leader photo album that she had just placed on the table to kill time was suddenly shredded into tiny pieces by countless sword lights.

"No——"

The girl desperately grabbed the fragments and tried to piece them together again, but it was in vain. She could only choke in silence, wishing she could travel back half a minute ago and slap herself for being mean.

You said you knew what kind of personality this arrogant president of yours was, why did you say mean?

Damn it, my photo album!

"Okay, I know you have more than one copy of that thing, don't pretend."

Cecilia glanced at Wei'er who was biting her handkerchief angrily:

"Go and pour me a cup of coffee."

"What do you mean more than one copy..."

Wei'er muttered something like for missionary use and collection, and reluctantly but skillfully went to make coffee for Cecilia.

Soon, the coffee, which was still very high in sugar content, was placed in front of Cecilia.

Along with it, there was also a newly produced cream cake decorated with a cherry.

"Go and rest first, Wei'er, you've worked hard tonight."

"...Oh."

Wei'er, who wanted to ask something, noticed that there seemed to be something different hidden deep in Cecilia's expressionless face at this moment, so she bowed and returned to her room obediently.

Cecilia sat at the table, silently staring at the small cake that looked very delicious at first glance.

Although she was under house arrest, she was still able to easily enjoy the most advanced and delicious desserts in the city after her status was here.

In fact, as long as she sat here obediently, all the wind and rain in this city would not affect her at all. No matter which sun was hanging in the sky after the sky cleared, she would still be one of the most noble people in this country.

Yes, just stay here obediently.

"Is this the real reason why you suddenly put me under house arrest, father?"

Cecilia murmured, and the inexplicable quarrel with her father emerged in her mind.

Then the scenes turned into the terrible scenes that I saw not long ago.

The fingertips still retain the warm touch of those lives when they passed away.

It's disgusting.

"It's true... I have no appetite for snacks."

A ray of light shone through the window cracks, shining on Cecilia's beautiful face without any emotion.

The dawn came.

She also looked at the light.

Soon, Cecilia pushed away the sweets she liked most, just drank the coffee, cheered up a little, and then rang the copper bell:

"Come here!"

"Your Highness."

The scales outside the door rubbed against each other, and a respectful voice came.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to go to the palace."

"This..."

The voice hesitated.

"What?"

Cecilia said coldly: "Although I am indeed under house arrest, do I not even have the right to see my father? Do you really want to imprison me? Who gave you the courage?"

"Yes... yes! Your Highness, please forgive me. I will go and prepare now!"

The voice faded away, Cecilia opened the door and walked out all the way. No one stopped her.

When she walked to the gate, a black carriage without any logo was already waiting outside.

"Your Highness."

The deputy commander of the Thorn Legion, Kairos, whose armor was different from other styles and had golden patterns, saluted respectfully and said:

"Please allow me to escort you personally and protect your safety."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Knowing that this guy's mission was not only to protect, but also to monitor, Cecilia did not say anything, but just nodded slightly and took the initiative to get into the carriage.

But before the carriage started, Cecilia suddenly lifted the curtain and looked carefully at the deputy commander of the Thorn Legion of the Royal Knights with a cold gaze.

"Mr. Kairos."

"Yes."

"You...will always be loyal to the emperor."

Kailos was shocked when he heard this, and quickly half-knelt on the ground respectfully:

"What do you mean, Your Highness? As a member of the Royal Knights, I will of course always be loyal to His Majesty!"

"Very good, then these people...you can interrogate them yourself, I need a satisfactory answer."

Cecilia handed the prop with the rubbing magic in her hand to Kairos.

Kailos checked it out and looked puzzled:

"These are indeed my subordinates, but the sudden interrogation...can I ask the reason? There is no reason, which makes it difficult for me..."

"What."

Cecilia glanced coldly: "Did you give the order last night?"

Order?
