[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

Sometimes, hearing too well is not a good thing.Edith just stood at the kitchen door for a while, her cheeks blushed.

It was the voice of a man and a woman, and the situation seemed a little heated.Although the kitchen is a bit out of place, personal preference seems to be nothing to blame.She quickly moved on, trying to flush out the less noble memories of just now.For some reason, she always felt that the man's voice was a bit familiar; but the world was so big, there were too many people with similar voices, so she didn't pay attention.

Gradually strolling to the top floor of the castle, Edith passed the utility room where the accident happened again.She knew that she might not be able to find anything more, but she walked into this small space obsessively.After many times of searching and collecting evidence, the place became empty. Edith squatted down and knocked on the floor while listening, and found a high-pitched tone under a wooden board.

There's something down there.She was startled.

The board was sealed tightly, and she pried and scratched it with a dagger, and it took a long time to open the pavement.Underground is a thin pipe, the inside is dark, it seems to be just a water pump leading to the lower floor.

She took a rag casually, rubbed it against the inner wall of the pipe, and actually got a small amount of gunpowder particles.

Downstairs is... She superimposed the maps of the various layers of the castle in her memory, and found that things were strange.

In order to confirm her conjecture, she quickly ran through all floors of the castle, and checked all the rooms that were opposite to the utility room on the top floor.The banquet hall on the second floor of the castle was actually right under the utility room.

dinner party.This is the last step of Taylor's plan!

Edith hurried to the heavily guarded hall door.Because the banquet will officially start in one hour, the banquet hall is currently closed and is undergoing final inspection and cleaning.Edith negotiated with the gatekeepers for a long time, but was unable to enter because of insufficient authority as a maid.

"Cair Paravel is in danger!" she yelled, ignoring the eyes of those around her.

Several soldiers didn't know this maid girl who didn't even look in her twenties at all, they looked at each other without any movement.To be honest, they even wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to do so due to military regulations.

Edith frowned, turned around and rushed towards the room directly above the banquet hall.

The third floor of the castle is mainly a small conference hall and minister's office.Edith ran all the way in the long dress of the maid, passing by many middle-aged people who were solemnly dressed and looked solemn and solemn, and attracted many surprised eyes.

The room she wanted to enter was in a meeting, and she heard the voices of several dwarf councilors inside.The girl was panting violently outside the door, not knowing what to do.It may be too late to clear the gun/powder or find the detonator/device, only 10 minutes left.

Ed... had to find out where he was.Make him cancel the dinner party.

King Justice is not in his office, nor is he in his bedroom.Except for these two places, Edith didn't know his daily route in the front hall.The Kyle Paravel complex is notoriously huge, with long column spacing and deep bays. She has been running continuously for more than 20 minutes, and her physical strength is gradually exhausted.To make matters worse, she didn't meet anyone she knew.

"Where is King Justice?!" She had no choice but to casually grab a maid who was delivering clothes in the corridor.

"Your Majesties have been invited by Lord Taylor to the garden of the South Palace."

Edith had no choice but to keep running.

What she didn't expect was that there was only one person standing in the garden of the South Hall, who seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.

"Edith Onassis, you did not die in battle."

In surprise and anger, the girl took a sap in the back of the head.

·

The farewell dinner for Taylor went on as usual.The surroundings and the floor of the banquet hall have been carefully inspected, and the four Pevensies looked calm.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being late." The light-skinned man pushed the door open and entered.

Several people greeted each other in a stylized manner first, and then the Supreme King led the crowd to toast.All links are clean and neat, and the two sides obviously have no feelings at all.Taylor has always been well-behaved, and only invited Susan after three cups: "This time, we may never see each other again. I know that Her Majesty has no affection for me, but I just hope that you can accompany me to the beach before I leave. Bian Xiaoxu. If the last wish can be fulfilled, Taro will willingly give up his pursuit of you."

The gentle queen looked at the palm extended to her by the man, and looked back at Peter and Edmund.Both of them had "don't go" in their eyes.They were really worried that this dangerous lord had some extravagant plans.

Susan hesitated, but her refusal gradually gained the upper hand.Taylor added: "If your majesty is worried about your safety, it's okay to lead a personal escort."

The promise of "giving up the pursuit" was too tempting, and Susan was soft-hearted by nature, so she raised her catkin slightly.Taylor quickly pulled each other up, overjoyed.The two said "excuse me" and left the banquet.

The three people in the room were already in a low mood, and they were about to get up and leave.But a strong drunkenness suddenly hit, and the few people fell asleep on the table before they could take a step.

·

In the darkness, Edith woke up suddenly.

She looked around and found that she was locked in a small cubicle without windows, but judging from the decoration materials and shape, this place should also be a corner in Cair Paravel.

She tried to open the door, but the iron chain outside the door rattled firmly.She yelled for help, but no one answered.

Tai Luo knew her identity and knew that he had been doubting him.He must have been connected with Calormene.But the only thing she couldn't figure out was that if that was the case, why didn't Taro just kill her?

She must get out as soon as possible, before the explosion and fire.At present, there is only one simplest and quickest way - to kick the door.

So a waiter who happened to pass by on this floor witnessed a surprising scene - a big hole was suddenly broken in the old wooden door of the compartment, and thousands of wood chips were flying in the wind.A girl with disheveled hair and a bruised forehead was coming out of the hole fiercely while holding a tattered skirt.

"What are you looking at!" she cried, wiping the dust off her face. "Narnia is going to die!"

On the way to the banquet hall of the main hall, Edith could already smell the smoke and charcoal.She showed the fastest speed in her life, and ran while calling for people: "The banquet hall is on fire, hurry up and save people!"

In the hall where the Three Kings slept, the fire was raging.Brenda, the kitchen maid, heard the explosion from the ceiling and rushed out of the pantry with a pretty face in shock.Tai Luo just asked her to put special spices that could make people sleepy in the farewell wine, but she never thought that the other party would put several rulers to death.

She panicked and put out the flames on the tablecloth with the lid of the pot, but accidentally got the flames on the skirt of her dress.

"Help!" Feeling the burning pain, she screamed and rushed out the door.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no word from their superiors. The guards did not dare to trust others, and the number of people following Edith to fight the fire was obviously insufficient.Edith quickly tore off Brenda's burning skirt, and the flower girl screamed in shame.In the thick smoke, Edith vaguely saw hickey marks on her inner thighs and chest.

"Go find water!" She took off her long apron and put it on her body, and then rushed into the fierce sea of ​​fire with several guards who were eager to protect the Lord.

The crowd was choked and coughed violently, and the three supreme kings who were unconscious were forced out.Edith didn't expect that the always shrewd Justice King would be swayed by Tai Luo, and she hated iron for being weak, and almost punched him in the face in full view.

At the same time, more and more corners of the castle were on fire.Narnia has no leader at the moment, and Mr. Tumnus, the steward who heard the sound, turned around in a hurry.

"Everyone cover your mouth and nose, find all the buckets and basins you can use, and come with me to get the spring water outside!" Edith had no choice but to stand up and command.The on-duty executives of the Intelligence Bureau also came from the apse to join the firefighting team.

·

On the edge of the beach, the Gentle Queen, who was walking with Taylor, saw the sky full of flames bursting from the castle.

"You?!" Susan's face changed instantly, and the 24 Queen's guards who followed the two immediately drew their swords and surrounded Taylor.

The man looked at her in surprise, raised his hands and looked innocent: "Susan, I swear by the lion's mane, I really didn't do anything!"

The gentle queen frowned, and made the most sensible decision: "Leave the four with me, and the rest of the soldiers quickly returned to the castle to fight the fire."

Tai Luo rummaged through his clothes, trying to prove his innocence: "I don't have any weapons on me, and I don't have any followers. If I want to harm you or the castle, why should I stay here without defense? "

The opponent's logic was irrefutable, so Susan had no choice but to signal the remaining four guards to put down their long swords.

"Let's go to fight the fire together, the castle must be very short of manpower now." Tai Luo took the hesitant queen by his arm, and ran towards the castle pretending to be anxious.

·

"Dang-dang--" The alarm bell of the castle watchtower suddenly sounded inappropriately.

Edith, who happened to come to fetch water outside the front hall, raised her head and looked outside the city wall, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly.

Under the dark night, the Calormene army approached the city, hundreds of torches fused together.

"Where is His Majesty the High King? No monarch in Narnia thinks highly of me?" Under the city wall, a very young boy sat on a snow-white war horse standing at the head of the army.He wore a silver crown on his head, and his face was blurred in the night mist.

The bucket in Edith's hand shook twice.She didn't even know if she should fight the fire or fight the battle.

"How did you sneak onto the shore?!" The general of the Narnia army standing on the main defense tower of the castle, Orris, was astonished.

"Let your King Peter come to see me," said the young prince coldly.If Edith's guess is correct, he should be the thirteen-year-old fifth prince of Calormene, Rayleigh, whom Edmund had mentioned.

General Oris was not ignorant of Kyle Paravel's situation at this time, and angrily shouted: "You are asking knowingly!"

The prince laughed out a series of crisp childish voices: "Narnia has lived too/comfortably these years, it's time to accept the baptism of conspiracy."

Edith gritted her teeth, turned around and tried to transport the heavy bucket back to the front hall.Her body was numb and she didn't feel any fatigue; the fear of the internal and external pincer situation overwhelmed everything.

"Are your Majesties awake?" She poured down the spring water and anxiously asked the surrounding soldiers about the situation.

The goat captain shook his head silently.

"Where is Maester Roloff, where is he?" She asked hoarsely.

"Several bachelors who know medical skills are either seriously injured or frightened, so they are temporarily unable to go out to see the doctor."

What is Narnia to do? !For the first time in her life, the girl experienced what is called the bone-chilling despair.

At this moment, the Gentle Queen and Tyro broke into the main hall with many soldiers: "Narnians, please listen to my command—" At this moment, Edith felt that the awe-inspiring Susan was like a goddess descending to earth. , "The guard moved all the wounded to the main hall, the patrol team continued to search and rescue people, the male staff quickly opened the windows of the room after the fire was extinguished to ventilate, and the female staff took care of the wounded. The rest of the soldiers—follow me up the city wall to face Lei Liz !"

But it would have been nice if Goddess hadn't stood next to that conspirator who was good at acting.Edith's heart has long been clear, but other people who have been kept in the dark don't think so.They seemed to be very grateful for Lord Lonely's constant help, and even shared fire-fighting tools with the servants and guards he brought from Dorne.But at this moment, it is obviously not suitable for another internal strife, and he can only expose him after the situation has stabilized a little.Edith thought so, gritted her teeth, grabbed the bow and arrow, and followed Susan up the high wall that defended the castle.
