Chapter 145 Rose: I survived again.
In fact, if possible, Rose Oliana did not want to speak at this moment, but planned to continue to escape.

But unfortunately, her body was about to reach its limit. After all, she had spent the past few days chasing after the prey.

"President Rose, I'm Claire!" Claire spoke first.

"Claire, why are you here? Are you here to arrest me too?" Rose Oliana asked, poking her head out from a corner.

"Catch you? How is that possible! I'm here just to see you off." Claire shook her head and said.

"See you off? Are you willing to help me leave the capital?" Rose Oriana asked with a little surprise.

"Sorry, no, we just plan to end your miserable life, that's all!" said Li De on the side.

"You are Claire's brother, right? So, Duke Doem has changed his mind about taking me back and is planning to kill me?" Rose Oriana's tone was much lower at this moment.

"No, that Doem hasn't changed his mind. After all, you are valuable to him only if you are alive. Even in your current state of being possessed by a demon, he will not change his mind." Li De shook his head in denial.

"So you are from the church?" Rose Oliana asked after a moment of silence.

"Asking so many questions won't change anything, President Rose, just accept it." Claire replied.

"Accept what?!" Rose Oriana looked at Claire in surprise.

But the next second, she felt her body unable to move.

This is only natural. After all, this dark underground sewer is the most suitable environment for Claire to display her shadow ability.

As long as Claire thinks about it, she can restrain Rose Auriana's movement by freezing her shadow.

"Don't struggle, President Rose. You can't break free with your current strength." While Claire was speaking, she had already reached the side of Rose Oriana.

"Claire, you..." Rose Oriana hadn't finished speaking when she saw Claire condense a ball of magic power and then press the magic power onto her body.

Then a rather contradictory feeling came over me.

Cold but strangely warm.

Along with this power, Rose found that her demon-possessed state had disappeared.

But before I could feel happy, I felt my neck being strangled, and an intense feeling of suffocation followed.

“Why is that?”

"It is necessary to get treated first. After all, if you don't get treated first, if you die and your magic runs wild, it will cause a big commotion." Claire explained at the end of Rose's life.

Seeing that Rose had no more life span, Li De immediately exchanged for a replacement card.

But before using it, Claire suddenly conveyed a message to Reed through the power of the contract.

"Sid, after taking over, can you follow President Rose's will?" Claire looked at Reed and blinked.

"Why, sister?" Li De looked at Claire who delivered the message with some confusion.

"Sid, Elizabeth is ultimately controlled by New's consciousness, while Mary has always been just the Bloodthirsty Queen's maid. Even though she is bound by the power of the contract, but..." Claire's thoughts reached here and she did not continue.

But Reed knew what Claire meant, which was that she was afraid that Mary would become disloyal because Elizabeth was replaced.

After all, although the contract can control Mary's life and death, it is afraid of people who are willing to give up everything and don't care about life and death.

Mary obviously falls into this category.

She didn't know about the replacement card before, but when she experienced it herself, she couldn't help but think about it.

This is the hidden danger that Claire wants to eliminate. Even though she knows that Rose has character problems, at least she has many more concerns than Mary, and is much easier to control.

As for Claire's reminder, Reed had never thought about it before.

But after Claire killed Alexia on her own initiative, Reed also realized that unless he made strict regulations in every aspect, he would not be able to eliminate the possibility of someone taking advantage of loopholes.

So it seems that letting Mary's will take the lead is indeed risky. After all, Elizabeth cannot use the power of the contract to monitor her heart at any time.

But if Rose Oriana's will takes the lead, there will be no such hidden danger. At least she will not do anything harmful to her father or the kingdom.

Especially since Sid once saved her life. Given her personality, even if she knew she was under a contract, she would never do such a thing as repaying kindness with enmity.

Of course, it doesn’t matter to Li De whose will controls the body. What matters is who has a lower risk.

Since there is a potential risk that Mary may lose control, let Rose Auriana take the lead.

"Just listen to my sister." Li De responded immediately.

The next second, after Reed used the replacement card, it turned into a stream of light and drilled into Rose Oliana's body.

As Rose Oliana's body turned into a stream of light and shot into Mary's body, the once familiar magical fluctuations appeared again in Reed's perception.

Although it was not as strong as Elizabeth's at that time, this magical fluctuation was definitely not wrong. The blood of the two had indeed merged and returned to their ancestral home.

After some operations, Li De immediately chose to follow Rose Oliana's will.

When the fusion was complete, Rose immediately hugged her head.

After all, after the order of priority was reversed, it was Rose's turn to inherit Mary's thousand-year memory.

Even if Li De helped her delete 80% to 90% of this huge memory, it was still equivalent to more than twice the complete life memory of other people.

Therefore, the mental burden of accepting this memory is not small.

After a while, Rose Oliana finally recovered.

"My Lord, thank you for giving me a new life. Please instruct me on what to do next." Rose knelt on one knee and lowered her head and asked.

"When Elizabeth arrives, you go back to the embassy. Alexia will then help treat your father." Reed said after thinking for a while.

"My lord, how should we deal with the people coming from the Kingdom of Oriana this time?" Rose continued to ask.

Doem must die, but this time it's not just Doem and his guards who are coming, there are also other nobles from the Kingdom of Oriana.

"If you and Elizabeth think it is necessary to leave someone alive, then the survivor must not know that Alexia has been there." Reed gave this answer.

"Yes, my lord!" Rose replied immediately.

"There's one more thing." Li De said again before turning around and leaving.

"Master, please speak!" Rose continued.

"After your father recovers, be sure to go and get the key to the Black Rose back. Don't let Mordred's people have the chance to take it away." Reed said.

"I understand, my lord. After I seize the key, I will immediately give it to the master to seal it." Rose said immediately.

"You or Elizabeth can hold it, but if you want to hold it, don't wear it." Reed reminded. "Yes, my lord." Rose answered immediately. Although she still had some doubts in her heart, she did not ask.

After all, the identities of the two are completely different from before.

"These are for you!" Reed said, and took out a set of items that were the same as the ones he had given to Alexia before.

Although Reed has not yet taken Rose into the room, it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, she will have nothing less than what other women should have.

"Thank you for your gift, Lord!" Rose continued.

"I am never stingy with my own people! Finally, what do you plan to do about your mother, Princess Lena?" Li De asked.

After all, if Mary's consciousness was dominant, Reed would never have asked this question.

"Master, can I ask you to spare my mother's life?" After a moment of silence, Rose mustered up the courage to ask Li De.

"Roz, don't push your luck." Claire warned in a low voice.

"It's okay, sister, as long as it doesn't affect the plan we can discuss it. So if you insist, you can save her life." Li De said immediately.

"My Lord, I beg you." Rose immediately expressed her attitude.

"Okay, but you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life imprisonment." Li De said immediately.

"Thank you, my lord. I can accept any punishment." Rose's voice was filled with gratitude.

"Then let's turn her into a stone sculpture and seal her for a thousand years. After that, I will let Beta go to the Kingdom of Oriana. In order not to kill her, we must eliminate any possible threats she may bring in the future. We can only let her accompany you and your father in the form of a stone sculpture." Li De said after thinking about it.

"My Lord." Rose couldn't help but pause after hearing Li De's verdict. After all, she didn't expect that Li De would punish her sinful mother in this way.

But she was her mother after all. Even though she had done so many things that she absolutely shouldn't have done, Rose couldn't bring herself to do anything to her.

"Rose, there are some things that your father who loves you deeply may not care about for your sake, but as the ruler of a kingdom, you must deal with the betrayers, otherwise where is the prestige of the king?

The mistakes your mother made are unforgivable. If it happened in some special countries, not only her, but also her relatives would be killed. Since you can't use her life to warn those guys with bad intentions, then use her body.

I think this curse of a life worse than death should be more effective in deterring those evil-doers hiding in the dark. So you should know how to promote it later, right?" Li De asked Rose.

"Yes! My Lord, I understand." Rose replied with tears in her eyes.

"Don't be so sad. What Sid said just now was just to teach you how to make use of this matter. The consciousness of a person who is truly petrified by Beta will remain at the moment of being petrified. No matter how long it takes to be unpetrified, she will not feel the passage of time." Claire explained after seeing Rose's expression.

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord, and thank you, Lady Claire." Rose looked up in surprise when she heard that, and then replied with a relaxed tone.

Because instead of being sealed and letting the spirit be in a state of constant torment, it would be better to just die, which is not so cruel.

But if it's like Claire said, then being petrified is nothing.

After all, a thousand years is just a moment for the person who is sealed.

"Sister, let's go!" Li De said to Claire beside him.

"Okay, Sid!" Claire took Reed's arm, glanced at Rose, and then turned around. Then the two of them slowly disappeared into the darkness.

After Reed and Claire left, Rose contacted her boss Elizabeth through the power of the contract.

"Master! I am Rose Auriana." Rose called to Elizabeth.

"Are you Rose?" Elizabeth was quite surprised at this moment.

"Lady Claire told me that there are potential risks in retaining Mary's will, so she suggested that the Lord retain my will." Rose replied.

After all, this was the message Claire left her through the contract before she left.

Of course, Claire actually tells her more than that.

There are two other sentences. The first one is: I kill you once and save you once, and then we are even.

The second sentence is that you originally owed Sid a life, otherwise your experience would have been ten or a hundred times worse than it is now.

"I understand. Wait for me. After I give you some instructions, we will head to the capital of Midgar. It will only take a few hours at most, and then we will directly break into the embassy. Also, don't call me master in the future. Strictly speaking, I am just your boss, and our master is only that adult." Elizabeth said.

"Yes, Lady Elizabeth, I understand. It's just about the people in the embassy. In addition to Doem and his minions, there are other nobles and some servants of the Kingdom of Oriana. Regarding these people." Rose seemed to want to fight for something.

"Roz, apart from your father, there are no innocent people in the embassy. The possibility that someone who can follow Doem at this time has no connection with the Diabolos Cult is extremely slim.

Even if there are innocent people, it's just his bad luck. If you want to curry favor with Doem and take shortcuts, you have to be prepared to be liquidated. As for the servants you mentioned, who can guarantee that there are no members of the cult mixed in among them? "Elizabeth's tone was not as gentle as Reed's.

"I'm sorry, Lady Elizabeth! I was too naive." Rose felt much more depressed after hearing that.

"Rose, the struggle between us and the cult is a life-and-death struggle, so we would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. You haven't adapted to your change of identity yet. When you adapt, you will understand that your father had to maintain the political balance like the King of Midgar before because he was not strong enough.

But we are able to suppress all disobedience within the Kingdom of Oriana, so we do not need any political balance at all. All we have is that those who obey will survive and those who disobey will perish. Everything will be subject to the master's holy judgment. All hostile forces in the Kingdom of Oriana will be wiped out, and that's all.

Of course, this is my responsibility. I am not asking you to change anything. In fact, it is quite good for you to maintain the status quo. You know, the people will eventually like a kind successor. As for cruelty, leave it to me.

But I don't want to see you bring this innocent kindness that should be shown to the people and the outside world in front of me. This should be a means to confuse the outside world, not a reason for you to continue being stupid. "

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Rose looked quite gloomy.

Because Elizabeth's words have already doomed the Kingdom of Oriana to be filled with blood and gore in the future.

"I understand, Lady Elizabeth. I will do my part," Rose replied.

"I understand. Then find a place to wait for me to contact you. Don't let your master down." Elizabeth said and disconnected the call directly.

When Rose disappeared into the dark underground sewer, Elizabeth was standing on the terrace of the dark tower, looking in the direction of Midgar.

"Lady Claire!" Elizabeth took the initiative to contact Claire.

"Elizabeth, what's the matter?" Claire didn't expect Elizabeth to contact her.

"Rose and I will go to the embassy in two hours and clear out all the personnel from the Kingdom of Oriana in the embassy. In order to ensure that they are all caught in one fell swoop, I need you to come forward." Elizabeth transmitted her thoughts.

"Are you talking about the members of the Diabolos Order who are secretly guarding outside the embassy?" Claire asked after thinking for a moment.

"That's one point. Another thing is to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to slip away," Elizabeth continued to explain.

"Such a big commotion can't be hidden from anyone. Even if unimportant people run away, it won't matter, right?" Claire asked puzzled.

"Yes. After all, only in this way can the king's anger be highlighted. We need to let the outside world understand what the consequences will be if the Diabolos Cult fails to attack a king." Elizabeth explained patiently.
