A burst of fire burst out from Amy's fingertips and circled around her fingers lightly. As Amy's eyes became colder and colder, the flames rotated more and more crazily. As it rotated again and again, the fire ring gradually expanded: from the size of an index finger, to the size of a cup rim, to the size of a head...

Anna looked at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger. She doesn't have a bow in her hand now, and even if she did, her remaining magic power wouldn't be enough to fight against an elf-level magician. She wanted to rush forward and throw Amy to the ground with brute force, but the fire surrounding Amy kept her at bay.

Just when she was hesitant, the fire in Amy's hand shot towards her whole body like a fountain! Fortunately, Anna's physical fitness and reaction ability were far superior to those of ordinary mercenaries. Seeing that the situation was not good, she quickly rolled sideways on the ground to avoid the direct attack of the fire. Even so, the huge heat also burned her skin.

She stood up suddenly, and after seeing that everything where she was originally had been reduced to charcoal, she shouted angrily: "Amy! You are just a maid, but you actually dare to attack the royal family of the Seven Hills Empire." Take action?"

"The current princess of the Seven Hills Empire - Anna Cornelia Scipio? I forgot to tell you that I am now also a member of the Scipio family."

Flames circled Amy's palms again. Standing behind the blazing vortex, Amy tilted her head and reported the name given to her by Ella:

"My current name is Amy Cornelius Scipio - listen clearly, it's Cornelius, not Cornelia."

"Nonsense! Ella has been expelled a long time ago. What right does she have to give you a name..."

With a "boom", the fire in Amy's hand expanded in a large circle.

"Ella Cornelius Scipio is the Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire. She will always be so. And you... rebellious officials and traitors should all die!"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Anna took out the powder Dust gave her and waved it at Amy. Amy felt a sting in her eyes and immediately shot the fire forward! A house burned in the fire, but Anna struggled to avoid the fire, taking advantage of Amy's fascinated eyes, and stumbled past her.

Seeing the fire igniting, the pirates gathered in Amy's direction.

"Leave a few people down to put out the fire, otherwise His Majesty will be unhappy." Amy washed her eyes with water and gave instructions to the pirates, "The others will catch up immediately! And... take my Fenrir with me. Come!"

Half of the city of Azov was mobilized. There were only about 300 pirates who surrounded the neighborhood before, but now, the number of people searching for Anna has exceeded 3,000. Anna found three horses one after another, but they were all quickly killed with throwing axes by the pirates who surrounded them. After realizing something was wrong, Anna immediately found another bow. But her resistance only attracted more pirates to round her up.

Several times, the ax flew close to her head. If she's not careful, half of her head will be lost. Unlike the cavalry troops of the Qiqiu Empire, these pirates came here to kill her from the beginning!

Anna's courage was lost after her brushes with death again and again, and she realized that the pirates were really here to kill her. In the end, she even shouted to the sky in despair: "Can no one come to save me?"

No one can come to save her. When Ella gets angry, the entire Azov city falls into fear; when Amy gets angry, no one can persuade Ella.

She suffered many injuries and was eventually blocked in an alley by the pirates. The pirates looked at her condescendingly, like an executioner looking at a prisoner being pushed to the guillotine.

"Don't come over here!" Anna took out the poison that Dast left for her and tried to pour it into her mouth. "If you take one more step, I will commit suicide right here!"

The howl of wolves came from far and near. Amy appeared in front of her riding Fenrir. Anna seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and shouted loudly: "Amy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have scolded my sister. Please help me beg my sister for mercy..."

Amy interrupted her coldly: "Didn't you just say that you would rather die? Are you preparing to commit suicide with the poison? Okay, drink it, His Majesty did not intend to let you live in the first place. Let me see , what kind of integrity does the 'real' royal family have?"

Ana gritted her teeth and pulled off the cap of the medicine bottle. But at the moment when she was about to pour the medicine down her throat, she suddenly cried: "...I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please, give me a way to survive...I can do whatever you want." , please give me a way to survive!"

She kept saying "I'd rather die", but when she truly realized the meaning behind the word "death", she flinched.

Amy laughed.

"A way out? Go back and ask your father, did he give us a way out? His Majesty endured humiliation and agreed to his request, but he kicked him away instead, and said that he was worthy of being the descendant of a prostitute and that he was dirty... Come on, Let me see, what should a real royal family do when faced with death?"

Anna shivered all over.

"Your Majesty originally didn't want to kill you...but you want to assassinate His Majesty. If the assassins can survive, then what dignity can there be for Your Majesty? Besides, Your Majesty has already said in front of everyone that you only want those who die, not those who live. I just wanted to help you, which was considered a betrayal of His Majesty, but you insulted Your Majesty in front of me again...Princess Anna, don't you think this is just a fight between friends?"

Amy told all this coldly, but for some reason, tears flowed from her eyes. She wiped her eyes and looked at the wet marks on her hands in disbelief——

"That's enough! I understand!" Anna suddenly shouted and stuffed the poison bottle into her mouth. Before drinking the venom, she glared at Amy fiercely: "Let me show you fakers what the integrity of the royal family is!"

Before Amy could react, Anna had already poured the entire bottle of liquid into her stomach——

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, this guy Dust, did you give me a bottle of wine?"

Anna couldn't stand the stimulation of the wine, and coughed loudly with red eyes.

But Amy's eyes became cold again:

"You just said, show us the integrity of the royal family?"

"Did you just say that His Majesty is a fake?"

"You still think His Majesty is not qualified? Didn't you just fail to die? Then I will help you -!"

But just when Amy was about to say the word "kill", countless bolts of lightning suddenly fell from the sky!
