"Your Highness Princess! Your Highness Princess!" Phyllis ran into the cave with a somewhat excited expression, shouting as she ran. Thousands of hanging green branches still playfully blocked her progress.
"Bean Sprouts, why are you so excited today? Although it's quite ups and downs when running, it still looks very small?" Irina turned around and looked at Felice's chest rising and falling due to running, and said seriously.
"Your Highness! She is obviously still growing up!" Phyllis said righteously, but she was obviously lacking in confidence.
"It's about the same level as when I was thirteen." Irina nodded.
"Your Highness, if you keep doing this, I'm going to cry..." Felice's expression fell, and she said full of grievance.
"Okay, it happens to be quite boring today, I just hope you can cry." Irina's eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile.
"..." Phyllis felt like she had been hit hard. Sure enough, she couldn't communicate with Her Royal Highness in a normal way at all.
"Tell me, why are you running here in such a hurry?" Irina asked with a smile.
"Snar is back, do you want to see him now?" Phyllis said quickly, almost forgetting the main thing.
"Let him come in." Irina clenched her fists all of a sudden, her expression unable to conceal her excitement.
"Okay." Phyllis turned around and ran out of the cave. The Tree of Life seemed to sense Irina's emotions and made way for Phyllis to pass smoothly.
After a while, Phyllis led a tall, thin elf with blond hair into the cave and walked quickly towards Irina.
"Snar, I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess." The tall and thin elf stood two meters away, put his hand on his chest and nodded to Irina.
"Cockchafer, you have lost weight." Irina looked at Snar in silence for a while, and then said.
Phyllis, who was originally a little nervous, almost laughed when she heard this. She stopped turning her head and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle to calm herself down as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, you have also lost weight." Snar was stunned for a moment, his expression also a little strange. He had no choice but to get used to this nickname that had been with him for more than ten years, but it was a bit strange for an elf to be called a scarab. But compared with bean sprouts, Her Royal Highness treats herself pretty well.
"Really? It seems that you have achieved good results in losing weight recently. Scarab, you are still very discerning." Irina nodded, but the smile on her face quickly faded. She raised her hand gently, and a light golden light illuminated the entire body. The cave was shrouded, looking at Snarl and asking: "Scarab, what did you find out in Luodu this time? Are Alex and my children still alive? Where are they now?"
"Your Highness, I did find a lot of useful things in Luodu this time. After mutual verification with the things I found several times before, I can confirm that Sir Alex and your children are still alive. Three years ago, That fire was faked, there were no deaths at all," Snar said quickly.
"Great!" Felice's face showed excitement.
"Then where are they now?" Irina couldn't hide her excitement as she took a step forward and asked.
"I don't know this now. Not only me, but also our elves in Luodu, no one should know where they are, but if everyone doesn't know, they will be safe." Snar shook his head. .
"Qiao Xiu also said that no trace of them has been found." Irina clenched her fists, controlled her emotions, was silent for a while, then looked at Snar and asked: "What happened three years ago, Luoduna Have you found out who is involved?"
"As for Luodu, I investigated many people, and all the clues pointed to the Mage Tower. Apart from those demons, the only ones who took action against Alex should be the magicians from the Mage Tower," Snar said.
"Qiao Xiu told me that those were rebels who colluded with the devil and attacked Alex. Later, the Mage Tower was purged and those guys were killed." Irina nodded slightly.
"But Your Highness, according to my investigation, the great magicians who participated in this incident were not killed. They are still in high positions in the Mage Tower. The only ones who were killed were a few ninth-level magicians. If it was a ninth-level magician, If you are a master, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch Master Alex's sword." Snar shook his head with a serious look on his face.
"You mean...Qiao Xiu is lying to me?" Irina's eyes suddenly turned cold, her brows furrowed, she thought for a while, and said in a cold voice: "Qiao Xiu has a lot of influence in the Mage Tower. He and Sean had the confidence to fight for the heir, so it was impossible for him not to know who participated in the siege three years ago, and in his letter and my letter, those who swore to him had been executed. , Alex and the child were also dead, and their charred bodies were found.”
"Your Highness, I have something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not." Snar hesitated for a while, looked up at Irina and said.
"Say." Irina nodded.
"With Lord Alex's influence on the people and the military of Los Empire back then, and his strong strength, without a careful plan and absolute self-confidence, no one would dare to assassinate Lord Alex in the streets of Lodu. Just rely on the devil It is simply impossible to do this, and it is absolutely impossible for us elves to cooperate with the devil, so there must be a middleman. And this middleman must have enough energy to mobilize the great magician of the Mage Tower, and at the same time be able to There are not many such people in Luodu who suppressed the anger from the palace and the military," Snar said seriously.
"Except for the King of Los Empire, only Joshua Edward can do it. Sean's influence is limited to the imperial military, and he has no say at all in the Mage Tower. Alex had already withdrawn from the Mage Tower five years ago. All positions of real power in the military do not hold power and cannot threaten the king, so they will not be the king's target." Irina's face turned colder, she clenched her fists and said in confusion: "Why did he do this? Back then When we were in Luodu, he drank wine and chatted with me and Alex, and never showed the slightest malice."
"Lord Alex was born in the military and has fought side by side with the eldest prince for many years. Once the eldest prince and the second prince fight for the right to fight, it seems not difficult to guess which side he will stand on. And with Lord Alex With his strength and influence, his decision may be a decisive blow." Snar replied.
"Alex never said he would support Sean, so did Qiao Xiu plan this assassination just to make the subsequent battle for the inheritance less unknown?" Irina whispered to herself, her hair loose The long silver hair suddenly flew back, and the countless branches hanging down from the Tree of Life suddenly swayed.
"Who among the elves is involved in this matter?" Irina asked in a cold voice.
"The patriarch of the Kroll family, Lord Hubert, personally sent the young master to Luodu." Snar said firmly.
Irina nodded slightly and walked straight towards the entrance of the cave. The branches of the tree of life spread out to both sides, as if to send off her king.
"Your Highness, where are you going?" Phyllis asked worriedly.
"Kill." Irina said coldly, and disappeared into the cave with a flash of golden light.
