Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

"Of course, you don't have to worry about the marriage issue. After you become Alexia's personal guard, our family will not have the final say on your marriage partner. Alexia has to ask for it, and Ah Lexia had to consider the opinions of royal factions on many occasions.

As long as Baron Imo and Baron Gary can get in touch with someone from the royal family faction, who happens to be someone who dislikes you, I believe that person will be very willing to use marriage to make things difficult for you. When the time comes, all you have to do is accept it silently for the sake of Alexia, and it will be done.

The first marriage partner, whether it is Yuro or Jaka, just needs to assassinate him. Wait until the second time to reveal the revenge of the orcs. When the time comes, someone will naturally use the excuse of orcs to exclude you from Alexia. Sister, you can also take the opportunity to escape.

I know that my sister doesn’t want to be Alexia’s bodyguard at all. Don’t worry, it’s just temporary for now. Just bear with it a little. Once the hidden dangers and bad rumors about the marriage are gone, everything will be fine. Get better. "

After hearing Li De's plan, Claire felt a lot more relieved. After all, it would be really hard for her to follow Alexia.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that her dear brother suddenly achieved the status of a master, she would not have wanted to agree at all.

"Sid, won't it affect you becoming that bitch's fiancé?" Claire couldn't help but ask.

"No, because I just don't protect Alexia openly. As long as the Knights' troops are still under your command, no one can ignore your existence. When I graduate and can get engaged, I will rely on your influence alone. The strength is enough for Alexia to make the decision to marry me to win over me," Li De said unhurriedly.

"Isn't it a status that even a bitchy woman can't ignore? If that's the case..." Claire couldn't help but say.

"My dear sister, no matter what, you have to officially enter the circle of aristocrats first. There is an essential difference between the eldest daughter of a baron family and a baron." Of course Li De knew that Claire didn't want to go directly, so he persuaded her. .

"I know, Sid, I just look forward to this day coming soon," Claire couldn't help but said.

"You don't have to wait long, and in fact you won't have a lot of time to stay in the capital. Don't forget that our family still needs to develop, and we have to go to the lawless city later." Li De replied with a smile.

"Okay!" Claire didn't ask further. Anyway, she believed that her dear brother would not harm her.

When Li De ended his mental dialogue with Claire, another sister dialogue had just begun in the palace of the royal capital.

"Alexia, what does this application form mean?" In Alice's study, the eldest princess was pointing at the application form on the table and facing her sister Alexi with a serious face. Ya asked.

"Sister, that's what it means literally!" Alexia replied calmly.

"Alexia, you should know that's not what I'm asking." Alice took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, sister, I admit that the Siyue Chamber of Commerce gave me money." Alexia said with a defeated expression.

"Alexia, you should know that 900 people are the number of a knighthood. The Siyue Chamber of Commerce has formed a guard team of the knighthood. What do they want to do, or what do you want to do?" Alice did not care about Alex at all. Impressed by Siya's answer, she asked straight to the point.

It was not that Alice felt pressured by Alexia's actions and thought that her sister had revealed her intention to fight for the king at this moment, but that she was afraid that her sister had been deceived by the Siyue Chamber of Commerce.

"Sister, the Siyue Chamber of Commerce is currently expanding to other kingdoms. Considering that the goods of this chamber of commerce currently include many unique products, their idea of ​​​​forming a formal escort team is not so difficult to understand." Alexi Of course Ya knew what she would face when submitting this application.

But if she can cope with it without revealing the truth, Alexia still hopes that her sister doesn't know some of the situation.

It's just that the current situation is that ordinary excuses cannot satisfy my sister.

As for why she said this, it was because after Alexia finished answering, although Alice didn't say anything, she still looked at her with a serious expression.

"Hey, sister, don't you think it's a little stuffy in the study? Let's go for a walk in the garden!" Alexia suggested.

"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to enjoy the cool breeze on my face." Alice said with a slightly relaxed expression.

As for why her sister didn't want to talk about it here, Alice certainly knew.

Just one sentence, the royal family has no secrets!

Yes, except for some one-on-one secrets and special secrets passed down by word of mouth, it is really difficult for the royal family members who are always watched by the nobles to keep anything secret.

If you want to talk about something, the best way is not to be in a certain room, but to a place with a wide view, so that the chance of being overheard is lower.

After walking out of the study and into the garden, Alice waved to the guards behind her, indicating that they would wait here, and then followed Alexia into the garden.

"Alexia, can you talk now?" Alice asked after walking some distance and sitting down in the pavilion in the garden.

"Don't worry, sister!" Alexia shook her head and said.

Just when Alice was puzzled, Alexia suddenly moved.

After a puff, Alexia, who stood up, suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then appeared about ten meters away from the previous position, and then kicked hard into a bush.

The next second, accompanied by the sound of rustling, a figure flew out of the bush and then smashed into the bush on the other side.

"There is an assassin!"

"Come on, catch the assassin!"

The two Knights guards guarding the entrance of the garden shouted immediately, and rushed into the garden at the same time, rushing towards the black shadow that smashed into the bush.

Then the two of them captured the black shadow very smoothly.

As for why it was so smooth, it was because the other party did not resist at all, or wanted to resist, but was unable to do so.

Who told him that the pain in his waist caused by the kick made him pale and unable to move.

"Take him away for interrogation!" Alice shouted angrily at this moment.

Of course, Alice's anger was not because of the so-called assassination. After all, the captured person didn't even bring a sword, so how could he be here to assassinate?

And since it wasn't an assassination, the only possibility left was eavesdropping.

This was the real reason why Alice was furious, because the other party's behavior was too arrogant.

But was it really arrogant?

It counts, and it doesn't count!

It definitely counts on the side of the royal family. After all, they were tracking and eavesdropping. How else can it be arrogant?

And it definitely doesn't count on the side of eavesdropping. The most important thing is that the eavesdropper didn't think he might be discovered.

After all, being able to come here to eavesdrop must mean that he has a deep attainment in hiding and restraining his breath.

If Alexia hadn't been taught by Li De how to use magic to sense the surroundings, the eavesdropper might not have been discovered.

As for why he took such a risk to come here to eavesdrop, it was mainly because the application for the establishment of a guard team submitted by Alexia on behalf of the Siyue Chamber of Commerce was too sensitive.

Especially since the number of personnel involved a full-strength knight order, it is not difficult for people to think too much.

Alexia called Alice to the garden again, which made people more concerned about what secrets or conspiracies were behind this matter.

After watching the eavesdropper being dragged away and the guards around the garden increased again, Alexia used magic to sense it, and then smiled and said to Alice: "Sister, don't be angry, let's go to the pavilion and sit for a while."    "Okay!" Alice restrained her anger that was shown to outsiders, and then followed Alexia to the pavilion slowly.

After sitting down, Alexia said before Alice spoke: "Sister, no matter what I say next, please don't be too excited."

"I know!" Alice nodded and said.

After all, the garden was surrounded by knights. Although they were far enough away and the sky was too dim for the guards to see the two sisters' mouth shapes, their obvious excitement would definitely be seen by someone.

But Alice didn't expect that Alexia's next words would break her defense directly.

"The Knights are not trustworthy!"

She took a deep breath, and at the moment when she was about to spit out the word, Alice forced the word back into her mouth.

But her eyes suddenly widened at this moment, which showed that Alice was very excited at the moment.

Because Alice knew one thing very well, that is, the Knights her sister was talking about were definitely not the Knights controlled by the noble faction, but the one directly under the royal faction, which was the military force she could mobilize and command at present.

After taking two deep breaths and suppressing her emotions, Alice asked, "What's the reason?"

Alice wanted to know why her sister said such a thing at this moment.

"The last thing Geno Gulifi did before he died was to kidnap me." Alexia said lightly.

"What?" Alice stood up suddenly, and she couldn't control her emotions.

Because this news really surprised her.

"Sister, sit down first!" Compared with Alice, Alexia was elegant at this moment.

"What happened?" After taking a long breath and sitting down, Alice couldn't wait to ask.

Yes, Alice didn't think her sister would lie to her about this matter. Since Alexia said that Geno Gulifi planned to kidnap her, it must have happened.

So she couldn't wait to know why Geno Gulifi did this.

"This is what happened that night." Alexia began to tell what happened that day.

After listening to this, Alice couldn't help but frown and asked: "So it was Claire who saved you, but she chopped off Geno's head with a sword."

"Sister, you mean this is inconsistent with the strength Claire shows on weekdays!" Alexia certainly knew that her sister was suspicious, or didn't want to admit anything.

"Yes, after all, the strength she has shown so far is not a match for Geno Gulifi. Even if she sneaks up on him, she can't defeat him, let alone behead him with a sword." Alice nodded and said.

"Sister, do you think it is a good or bad thing for a country baron's daughter to be too powerful for herself and her family?" Alexia said slowly.

Alice was speechless after hearing this, because Alexia's words hit the point.

It seems that the children of country nobles like Baron Kageno can attract appropriate attention if they are relatively outstanding, but if they are too outstanding to break some balances, or even to the point of being terrifying, it may not be a good thing.

Because those with high status will think this is a threat, and then they will find ways to eliminate this threat.

According to this idea, Claire's performance is just right.

"Hey, Alexia, why was Claire able to appear in time to save you?" Alice continued to ask.

"Sis, because she didn't save me, the first person to suffer was her brother Sid Kageno, and later Geno might even expand the scope to involve the entire Kageno family. Claire told me that in fact, she had been paying attention to me on the first day I dated Sid." Alexia's answer was half true and half false, but logically it made sense.

"Why did Geno Gulifi kidnap you?" Alice continued to ask.

"I don't know about this, because he died too quickly. But from the opportunity he seized, it must have been planned for a long time, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence. I think Sister must agree with this." Alexia asked Alice.

Huh.

Without answering, Alice let out a long breath and rubbed her eyebrows with her hands.

Of course she knew, but it was precisely because she knew that she had a headache.

Until this moment, she felt that if Geno Gulifi was killed by an outsider, it would be a good thing for the truth of his disappearance.

But who would have thought that the truth behind his disappearance would be this.

After confirming the truth, Alice had to face one thing, that is, what Alexia said at the beginning, the Knights could not be trusted.

Even Geno Gulifi, the deputy leader, was a person infiltrated by a certain force. Alice really didn't know how many of the remaining personnel were trustworthy.

"Is Claire definitely reliable?" Alice asked Alexia after a pause.

After all, in Alice's opinion, Claire was hiding too deeply and was not someone who could be trusted.

You know, even if Claire rescued Alexia, it was only out of helplessness.

"Sister, how about the strength I showed just now?" Alexia asked Alice back.

"Did she teach you?" It was not until Alexia mentioned it that Alice remembered her sister's abnormal behavior just now.

In fact, she wanted to ask this question before, but before she could ask it, Alexia used her words to guide her to another point of concern.

"Well, if there are no strong people participating in the Martial God Festival this year, maybe I can get a chance to challenge my elder sister." Alexia said.

"We'll talk about this later, but it still doesn't prove anything!" Seeing Alexia's confident look, Alice must be happy, but now her focus is not on the Martial God Festival.

"Sister, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and there is no way to prove anything. But at least I am willing to believe her, and I know one thing, that is, I will never allow others to win over Claire, because I will not be able to sleep if I do that." Alexia showed a serious look for the first time tonight.

"How strong is she?" Alice asked after seeing Alexia's serious expression.

"I don't know, but I can tell you some of her deeds." Alexia immediately applied the deeds that Li De said to Claire.

"At the age of eight, you started fighting against the bandits?" Alice felt the pressure for the first time after hearing this.

She even couldn't help but think back to what she was doing when she was eight years old.

As for the Mist Dragon, Alice didn't believe it like Alexia did.

After all, a monster of this level is a powerful existence that has the ability to destroy a kingdom.
