Chapter 147 There are no innocent people here.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Elizabeth looked past Rose and towards King Oriana.

"There are no innocent people here!" King Oriana's eyes suddenly turned cold after hearing this.

After all, when he was controlled, although he could not escape Doem's orders, he was still conscious occasionally.

In addition, his memories of the period of control did not disappear. He still remembered what these nobles had done and said in front of him.

"I will obey the king's order!" Elizabeth said, and waved her hand to the nobles present.

After dozens of flashes of blood, the fallen noble was cut into countless pieces.

On the other side, after Reed walked out of the embassy and disappeared into the night, the outermost members of the Knights discovered that their bodies had finally regained their mobility.

Without any hesitation, except for a few people who stayed where they were and continued to monitor, the rest of the personnel rushed out in all directions, and some of them chased in the direction where Li De disappeared.

Another group of people reported what happened in the embassy as quickly as possible, and the drastic changes in the embassy spread throughout the entire capital in a very short time.

No one expected that Princess Rose of Oriana, who had tried to assassinate her fiancé in vain because she was dissatisfied with the engagement and ran away, would suddenly come back with her men and kill her way through the entire embassy.

After a massacre, only three people were left in the entire embassy: the king, the princess, and the princess's teacher and guard.

This result shocked many people. Even as a king, he could not order the execution of a nobleman at will.

Of course, this only refers to general situations. If it is some special situation, such as murdering the king, it is not within this scope.

However, it seems that the Kingdom of Oriana is the first one to do such a thing in other national capitals without any scruples.

Therefore, in the early morning, Rose went to the palace alone to meet Princess Alice. After all, no matter what, the embassy was stained with blood, and the Kingdom of Oriana needed to give an explanation that would be accepted by the outside world.

However, this matter is not to the extent that the king must show up in person, otherwise it would not be Rose alone who would go to the palace, but Rose, her daughter and Elizabeth.

Arriving at the palace, Rose naturally met Alice smoothly, after all, the other party was also waiting for her arrival.

In the formal conference hall, after a brief greeting, Rose was the first to express her apologies. After all, what happened last night had a huge impact on the Martial God Festival.

After all, the Kingdom of Midgar currently gathers guests from various countries, and as the host, the Kingdom of Midgar attaches great importance to safety.

Therefore, even if it is an internal affair of the Kingdom of Oriana, at this special time, if Rose cannot come up with a reasonable explanation.

This incident will definitely affect the relationship between the Kingdom of Oriana and the Kingdom of Midgar.

"Your Highness Princess Alice, I was too impulsive about what happened last night. I am truly sorry. Please allow me to express my sincere apologies on a personal basis." Rose said straight to the point.

After hearing this, Alice immediately understood that Rose wanted to get rid of the Kingdom of Oriana. After all, the meanings of individual behavior and the behavior of the kingdom are completely different.

Of course, Rose's status as the first heir of the Oriana Kingdom will definitely affect the reputation of the Oriana Kingdom, so this can only be regarded as a remedial measure. Whether it is effective or how much effect it has depends on the attitude of the Midgar Kingdom.

"Princess Rose, we have no intention of interfering in your country's internal affairs. But I think you are well aware of the impact caused by the blood-stained embassy, ​​especially at this critical time when foreign guests are gathering in the capital.

Therefore, we need a reasonable explanation. What exactly is the reason that would force a princess of a kingdom to be so decisive regardless of all consequences? "Alice really wanted to find out why Rose was willing to kill people even though she might offend the Kingdom of Midgar.

"My father was controlled by Duke Doem with some secret medicine, and then Duke Doem wanted to control my father to assassinate His Majesty Klaus during the Martial God Festival, intending to destroy the alliance between our two countries.

After confirming this information, I had no choice but to launch an extreme rescue operation to save my father. Because the people brought by Duke Doem this time are all his people, there are no innocent people. "Rose answered very straightforwardly.

If it were someone else, they would be more likely to follow the aristocratic style and cover up the scandals in their own country in various ways.

But if there is not enough reason to convince the Kingdom of Midgar, this matter will definitely not be overturned.

Therefore, even if Rose couldn't use normal social etiquette to decline the answer, she could only expand the scope of the matter to Midgar. Only by involving the Kingdom of Midgar in the entire incident could it be considered a reasonable reason that the Kingdom of Midgar could accept.

"Controlled by secret drugs? And also want to assassinate my father?" Alice didn't care about Rose's other words at all. She only cared about these two points, or the first point.

After all, Doem had been killed and the bodies in the embassy had been cleaned up, so there was naturally no so-called assassination plan.

"Well, according to my teacher's description, this secret medicine comes from a mysterious ancient organization, and Duke Doem is one of its members." Rose knew very well that Alice knew about the existence of the Diabolos Cult, so she specifically reminded Alice.

Upon hearing this, Alice instinctively thought of the Diabolos Cult.

Thinking about how this mysterious cult had recently broken the tacit understanding among the various kingdoms, Alice felt the pressure coming at her.

"Then I wonder how His Majesty King Ronald (this supporting character's name doesn't exist in the original book, so I made one up) is doing now?" Alice continued to ask. After all, compared to pressure, she cared more about this.

After all, this secret medicine may be used by the Midgar royal family in the future, so it is necessary to understand it in advance.

"Thanks to the teacher, my father has been cured by the healer she found using ancient artifacts." Rose replied in a relaxed mood.

"Using ancient artifacts for treatment?" Alice was very surprised, because she had never heard of any ancient artifacts that had the effect of healing the body.

Another surprising thing is that this secret medicine actually requires the use of a special ancient artifact to treat it. Isn't this a disguised way of saying that other treatment methods may be ineffective?

"Princess Rose, is this the only way to break the control of the secret medicine?" Alice asked hurriedly. After all, this is of vital importance.

"Your Highness Princess Alice, unfortunately, I don't know any other way, because my teacher told me that the damage caused by this secret medicine to people is irreversible. The only known treatment method is the ancient artifact I mentioned before.

Of course, Your Highness does not need to worry, this secret medicine needs to be taken for a long time to achieve the effect of controlling the bezoars. My father actually noticed it a long time ago, but unfortunately, the Duke of Doem's infiltration of the palace exceeded my father's imagination. "Rose did not mention her mother, after all, this is a family scandal that cannot be made public. "This is really terrible!" When Alice said this, she was already thinking about conducting a major investigation inside the palace after the Martial God Festival.

As for the focus, it must be on food. From preparation to presentation, people in every link will certainly not escape the results of the investigation.

After all, someone has already made an example of it. If you still don't take it seriously, you can't blame the Diabolos Cult for being vicious, but only blame yourself for being stupid.

In fact, Alice could already foresee that after today's words spread, other kingdoms would definitely take the same action.

After all, no one would not be afraid of this secret medicine.

"Fortunately it's over." Rose couldn't help but say.

"This is something really worth celebrating. By the way, Princess Rose, could you introduce me to the therapist who has special ancient artifacts?" Alice asked again.

"Your Highness Princess Alice, I'm terribly sorry. I don't know the identity of that therapist except that his code name is Light. He was invited by my teacher, and he didn't tell me any relevant information other than his name." Rose simply shook her head.

"This is such a pity. After all, anyone would want to know someone with this special ability." Alice did not argue but said with a hint of regret.

"Indeed, I have mentioned this to the teacher before, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything. In fact, the teacher had to pay a certain price to invite the therapist this time." Rose also said with a regretful expression.

"Princess Rose, I always hear you mention your teacher. I wonder who your teacher is?" Alice asked again.

"Your Highness Princess Alice, unfortunately, I cannot announce my identity as a teacher to the public for the time being." Rose shook her head.

"Okay, then Princess Rose, after this happened in your country, I wonder what your plans are next?" Alice asked.

Rose knew what she really wanted to ask, which was when the people from the Kingdom of Oriana would leave.

"Your Highness Princess Alice, since the internal troubles have been resolved and it is a rare opportunity for you to attend the Martial God Festival, my father wants to wait until the Martial God Festival is over before returning home." Rose gave a straightforward answer.

"Your Highness Princess Rose, the Duke of Doem should still have some remnants within the Kingdom of Oriana, right?" Although Alice wanted to say it out loud, in such a public occasion, she could only give a subtle reminder at the moment.

"Thank you for your reminder, Princess Alice. But there is no need to worry. My father has already sent someone to pass on the news about the domestic situation. There are still many people in the country who are loyal to the royal family. With them around, there is no need to worry.

In addition, this incident happened very suddenly, and the personnel were cleared out very thoroughly, so it was necessary to dispatch a guard team from the country. "Rose knew what Alice was reminding her of, so she answered cryptically.

Seeing Rose's expression, Alice knew that she was probably aware of the existence of the Diabolos Cult.

Since the other party is already prepared, there is no need to say more.

However, both Rose and Alice were clear about one thing, that is, after today's meeting, the content of the interview would definitely not be hidden from anyone with ulterior motives.

As for what impact it will cause, it is still unknown at the moment.

Three days passed quickly.

The main competition of the Martial God Festival finally arrived.

The main competition lasts for three days. The first day is the match between the top eight and the top four, the second day is the match between the top four and the last day is the showdown between the champion and the runner-up.

Claire's first opponent in the main competition was none other than Anneroge Fusianus, one of the Seven Swordsmen of Levigaltai of the Bekada Kingdom, who was also the opponent that Sid Kageno encountered after entering the main competition in the original work.

Originally, Anne Luojie should have been the opponent of the winner of the preliminary round B area, but since Claire wanted to show her strength, she must choose the one with a big name.

For the organizer, it is very simple to control the order of the battle.

After the adjustment, Claire's first round opponent became Anne Luojie, and she would not meet Alice in the second round because Princess Alice did not participate in the Martial God Festival this time.

As for why?
The reason is very simple. In the original work, the reason why she chose to participate was because the idiot Geno died at the hands of the 'terrorists' Shadow Courtyard, which seriously affected the reputation of Wangdu Wushinryu. Alice had to participate in the Wushin Festival, hoping to restore the reputation of Wangdu Wushinryu by winning the championship.

But in this version, Geno just disappeared, and outsiders could not forcibly link his disappearance to the Royal Capital Bushin Ryu.

You have to know that although the results of a head-on defeat and a defeat in a despicable sneak attack are the same, they are completely different situations for the schools they represent.

Especially since Alexia had expressed to Alice her desire to participate in the competition a long time ago, if Alice had not been so reluctant to give up the royal spot to Alexia who had no results, Alexia would not have to rely on substitute Rose to get a spot in the academy's main competition.

In fact, before Li De and others returned, she participated in the preliminaries and relied on her easy wins in the first three rounds to shut up many people. This is how she got a substitute spot without having to continue to fight for a spot in the preliminaries.

It was because Alexia expressed her intention to participate that Alice chose not to attend.

After all, Alexia wanted to show her strength, and she, as her sister, shouldn't get in the way.

You know, if she really participated and met Alexia in the finals, then only she could win.

Because if Alexia wins, there will be a lot of turmoil within the royal family.

But this would be very unfair to Alexia. Without the need to win the Martial God Festival championship, Alice had already given up the royal spot to the descendant of a member of the faction.

Back to the topic, although there are four matches on the first day of the main competition, there is no doubt that the most attractive one is Claire VS Anne Rose.

Who said that the other three matches were all duels between rough men? Only this one was a rare duel between beautiful female magic swordsmen, so it naturally attracted the most attention.
