Despite Snow’s words, Flora still couldn’t help but worry, because she wasn’t hearing similar words for the first time.
Last time, she believed him.
The result was the worst.
So
“I order you, go deal with the astronomer or geographer, and at the same time, pay attention to protecting yourself. Run if the situation is not good.”
Snow said impatiently.
Flora’s eyes widened slightly,
This was obviously Snow sensing her thoughts, but he didn’t know what to say, and could only use the order to dispel her concerns.
At the same time, in order to protect her as much as possible, Snow only let her deal with one of them, and didn’t ask her to do the more difficult task of capture, and also ordered her to run…
As for why she wasn’t ordered to deal with the werewolves or the undead soldiers, that was because Snow’s own spiritual sense couldn’t detect the astronomer and geographer outside the barrier. If the enemy ended up escaping, he believed that Flora would definitely blame herself…
In short, in order to prevent Flora from feeling sad and guilty, Snow had considered a lot.
Flora even had a feeling that even without the order, even if she had gone all out from the start, Snow’s attitude towards her wouldn’t change.
Because of feeling inferior due to being too strong, feeling jealous or something
wouldn’t happen.
All there was was worry… and the relief and heartache when she saw her return safely.
How nice.
Truly worthy of His Highness Snow…
Flora completely sealed off the thoughts and emotions she was having right now,
“I understand, Master, please be sure to protect yourself,”
She respectfully bowed, and then cast all kinds of buffs on herself, before swiftly departing.
(What a fool.)
Feeling the exaggerated buffs on her body, Snow couldn’t help but scold in his heart.
In his opinion, the reason why Flora was so afraid of showing her strength and subconsciously wanted to cater to her master was undoubtedly caused by the Blue Lion family.
The Lan-Sa family’s adoption of orphans was just to satisfy their own vanity, not really wanting them to have a good life.
If the orphans were obedient and always maintained humility, it would be fine, but once they showed abilities and talents that surpassed the master… what would welcome them was only abuse and destruction.
The best proof was the inner Bei Li Wei of the Lan-Sa family.
Bradly’s daughter was out of her control, let alone Flora, who was of orphan origin?
It was helpless that this psychological shadow couldn’t be solved in a short time, and Snow could only quickly rush to where the werewolves and necromancer were, and solve the battle in front of him first.
When he got there, he found that it was indeed as Flora said.
In addition to the two werewolves and a necromancer, there was also a knight emitting a deathly aura.
But the deathly aura on this knight was just a disguise. Seeing Snow arrive, the other party emitted a dazzling holy light and rebuked:
“Crown Prince Snow, why do you do such harmful things?
Why, even at this point, are you not willing to let these poor people go?”
“Today, I will act on behalf of the heavens and eliminate you, the perpetrator of indiscriminate slaughter, the most despicable and shameless person!”
“Are we still playing this game?”
Flora’s interrupted the casting of the astronomer and geographer
They were captured alive.
Helplessly, the situation was similar to before.
These guys were just trapped by Flora’s magic, and when they couldn’t break free, they triggered the soul contract and died.
“The barrier hasn’t been lifted… it seems that multiple people worked together to cast it, and the others have already retreated.”
Flora had gone toward Snow, and she slowed her steps when she was close to him, preparing to check the situation from a distance, and would only appear after Snow had completely won.
The purpose of doing so was of course to let Snow perform well.
Snow had said that she didn’t need to have any concerns, and he had issued orders very considerately, but if she finished too quickly and left Snow, who liked to work hard, with no chance to show off, then it would be because she, as a maid, didn’t know how to behave.
Moreover, she was going to leave eventually, and couldn’t always help Snow.
It would be good if she could let Snow accumulate a little more experience.
And after dealing with the astronomer and geographer,
Flora judged that the enemy’s goal was to set a trap for Snow,
It was the same as before at Fate Territory, Even if Flora didn’t make a move, Snow, who had improved greatly now, would be able to win with ease.
(No, even better than the configuration then.)
Flora sensed the situation on Snow’s side from afar, and couldn’t help but frown.
Don’t underestimate the difference between these two.
It was no problem that the enemy didn’t know Snow had become stronger, but after they had basically tested Snow’s limits in the Fate Territory, they still sent a worse lineup than before… this showed that the enemy didn’t want to take down Snow, they only wanted to make him struggle.
So, why only make him struggle?
Flora smelled the smell of conspiracy, and she immediately cast stronger defensive magic on herself,
Waiting for the revealing of Snow’s identity the enemy was already recognized.
“That’s… Knight Betchery? No, it’s a trap!”
Flora immediately understood the enemy’s intentions, but before she could report or anything, the barrier was already broken.
They returned to the normal downhill road, and the two werewolves had now returned to their original student appearances and were lying on the ground together with the necromancer student.
In front of the three, an injured holy song knight spread his hands and said to a black-haired youth who was sinister and full of killing intent:
“I will never let you hurt them! You devil!”
Not far away, a red-haired, golden-eyed youth was witnessing all this.
At this point, Flora had completely understood the enemy’s plan, Alienating Snow and Jandi was undoubtedly the enemy’s real goal,
To achieve this goal, it was necessary to create an obvious contradiction between Jandi and Snow.
So what they did was to have the Deronek of the Quaal Kingdom invite Snow, creating an illusion that Snow seemed to be ready to collude with the Eastern Region nations.
But the enemy had predicted that this illusion would fail, and even without Flora’s confession, they didn’t think that Jandi would be so stupid as to attack Snow because of this.
Therefore, the real goal of this method was to make the people of other Eastern Region nations uneasy!
Thirty-six countries.
The Kingdom of the Duchy, there was also only a provincial territory size, and yet they claimed themselves to be
yet they built the Yakuso Chapel near Slek, which perished.
Eliminate the dead, and the lips are gone, the teeth are cold,
When those neutral small countries saw this, they were completely afraid, and seeing that the Imperial Crown Prince was still deepening his relationship with those countries that were close to the empire, they began to become uneasy.
Then, under the instigation and threat of those with ulterior motives, they decided to take a risk and eliminate Snow, who might threaten their own countries.
As for why it wasn’t Anos… that was because the nobles were all praising Anos’s kindness, and his public attitude towards the Eastern Region was also based on harmony!
And Snow had always had a bad reputation for being ambitious and bloodthirsty!
The situation with the subhuman family Ocarina was similar, but the enemy adopted the opposite approach.
What the Ocarina and other subhumans feared most was the Holy Song Knights, who were constantly exorcising demons, so inviting Snow was sincere, in order to ask for his protection or to let them go!
And Snow immediately asked Flora to see the people of the church, and they were completely disheartened, and then decided to take a risk!
If Flora hadn’t guessed wrong, Snow and this Lan Song Knight, who was obviously an insider, Betchery, were definitely people who supported a faction within the Light Knights, but the subhuman nobles didn’t think Betchery was.
At the same time, Betchery and Snow also definitely knew that this necromancer student wasn’t colluding with those nobles in the country, and was a legitimate necromancer under the empire’s standards!
And the enemy’s last step was to lift the barrier, exposing the truth and seeing the scene of Snow’s intention to kill and destroy!
