His Majesty's armor? Ed's originally hesitant gaze suddenly froze.
Based on Prince Edward's reaction, he speculated that Catalina did not choose to show up directly to inform Prince Edward's guards. Instead, she put on black gold armor and concealed her identity to send the warning.
As for the real owner of the black gold armor...
He knows that in this country, there is only one person who can be called "Your Majesty"——
King of Lyrea, current de jure emperor of Elysium, 'the black sun that never sets', Richard II.
I am afraid that only a dignified king of a country would be willing to use precious black gold to build an entire armor. Only he would happily choose the deep darkness as his own color tone.
From the perspective of the prince's guards, this mysterious black knight is most likely a special envoy sent by the emperor, or at least related to his majesty to some extent. Therefore, Catalina can pass in front of the guards without hindrance, and no one dares to block her or investigate her true identity.
The most important thing is that if she hides her identity, then no one has seen the "real Catalina" now, and she, the counterfeit product, can continue to act naturally.
"In this case, I will not disturb His Highness's business."
Ed said respectfully, wanting to take the opportunity to retreat into the room. Prince Edward stopped him and stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner:
"It's just a slight change. The dinner party is about to start. Please come with me."
broken……
From Prince Edward's perspective, the Nirvana Order's attack could begin at any time. due to safety concerns. It is the safest way to let "Catalina" stay with you who are strictly protected.
But the problem is that there are many guards in the hall, including senior agents of the Divine Bureau from the capital. The red-eyed spider that maintains the enhanced projection has many difficulties in that environment:
If the red-eyed spider is hung upside down on the dome, it will be easily discovered by experienced agents; if it is mixed in the noisy crowd, the red-eyed spider's line of sight will inevitably be disturbed, thus affecting the effect of enhanced projection.
To put it bluntly, even if he was not discovered, it would be extremely embarrassing if His Highness the Prince gave him the engagement ring.
He must find a way to exchange the real Catalina with him quickly. Where is Catalina herself now?
…
Catalina was walking quickly through the corridor at the moment. The black armor was much lighter than the heavy evening dress. Although it was a little troublesome to put it on by herself, at least her identity was not exposed.
As a believer, she must keep the secret of the Keeper and not let irrelevant people know of His existence, so as not to destroy his meticulous planning.
Now I have to go back to the room and change my clothes quickly, so as not to disappear for too long and arouse suspicion.
Just as she was having thoughts in her heart, aggressive questions came from the corner of the corridor, and two familiar figures came into view——
One tall, one low, one fat and one thin, they are Ed's two elf friends.
A guard accompanying a prince stopped two people for questioning, apparently because the pair of elf ears were too conspicuous. At this moment, the two of them suppressed their blushes and looked at a loss.
"It doesn't matter, these are my people." She quickly lowered her voice and raised her hand to signal.
"Are you sure? I think they may be members of the Nirvana Order."
The guards in golden armor looked suspicious, but when they saw Catalina's black gold armor, they could only ask respectfully.
"Of course, please rest assured. I can guarantee with my life and honor that these two gentlemen will never be members of the Nirvana Order." Catalina raised her right palm and swore.
"Okay, then please allow me to leave." Seeing Catalina's determination, the guard had no choice but to walk away dejectedly.
When the guards walked away, Catalina turned back, only to find that the faces of the two people were even more ugly:
"What happen to you guys?"
"Ahem...it's okay. I drank a little more aperitif and I just feel a little uncomfortable." The sharp voice explained quickly.
"Where is Ed? Didn't he come to the party?" Catalina asked in a low voice.
"Actually, this is the case -" Chubby Cleared his throat and explained, "We found that assassins from the Nirvana Order infiltrated the banquet. Ed said he had to do something, so he separated from us."
The assassins of the Nirvana Order...beware of the flames, turns out to be this.
Katarina suddenly woke up. Sure enough, this must be the threat the secret keeper warned about.
"Then what are you two doing here again?"
"Uh..." The two looked at each other, and finally replied, "We just saw a suspicious waiter. We wanted to follow him, but we were stopped halfway by the guard."
"Follow me?" Under the mask, Catalina looked confused.
"Well..."
"You two...don't you want to subdue the assassin on your own?" She thought for a while and asked with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, yes, that's it." The sharp voice nodded quickly like pounding garlic.
"I have to say that this is a heroic act of sacrificing oneself for others. But although the two of you are brave, your actions are too reckless. If the other party is really a carefully selected assassin of the Nirvana Order, how can you subdue him alone? ?”
"Hey, you're so right! It really scared us out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for your kind reminder, the two of us would have almost killed ourselves." Chubby Dun flattered him with a flattering look.
"Don't worry, you two. Everything is as expected by His Excellency. Sooner or later, someone will cause trouble for you if you stay here. Why don't you just stay with me."
Although keeping the two of them by her side might reveal her true identity, Catalina couldn't leave them alone. Since she is Ed's friend, she should be able to trust him...right?
Let's meet up with Ed first, and then we can discuss how to protect Prince Edward's safety. She thought to herself, speeding up her pace. If what these two said was true, then the attack might start at any time, and we had to race against time.
Suddenly, she saw a black gold cloak shining in front of her eyes. It was Prince Edward himself, and beside him was the little waiter she had met before...
Wait, there's more...?
Following the two of them was a woman in gorgeous clothes who looked exactly like her, as if she was reflected in a mirror.
